Couch POTATO to "MARATHON" HONEY! :)

I remind myself, "Never let the time on the clock prevent you from pushing play. You will sleep well when you are dead, because you worked HARD today! To LIVE is to move! Play like a child! It's never hard work to play!" ......now do adult play & EXERCISE!
 
.......Someone asked me,

`

....."Wow, Alta! How can you do it? How can you stick to a 90 Day Challenge and not quit? I always quit on myself after 3 weeks...."

`

.....Me: "Well, it's much easier than you think. If you realllllly DECIDE. & you COMMIT, you will SUCCEEED! I always used to quit too, because I never really decided to commit. I would say, I'll TRY. Maybe. If I can. Um, sure, Tomorrow, At least I did this much.

`

`

-------- Well, that's just not good enough!!--------

`

-- I now focus on the larger scale of what I am doing, versus the immediate results or lack of. Doing that in iteself shifts my emotions towards my actions. I feel GOOD! I know that I am taking steps & that's all that matters. A step is better than NO step. Moving slowly is better than not moving at all. It's just the truth. When you commit, to saying to yourself "What did I do to make myself PROUD today?"...and live by it, then there is a new shift in your mindset! YOU MATTER! YOUR GOALS MATTER! YOUR DAYS ARE VALUED! Now, that's what I'm talking about. To look back with pride on each day, knowing you took a step. That you showed yourself that you are worth going for your dreams & goals!!

`

--We all have everything we need to get there. We have the tools, the people, the resources in many forms (books, internet, programs, schools, support, mentors, groups, etc...). It's not that we don't have that, it's just that we aren't being resourceful & using them. When we change... WHALA...., you create a SHIFT!! A shift in the right direction, is better than no shift at all."

~

.....I told her, "Let me help you~! That's what I do. I help people! I'm an Online FREE fitness Beachbody Coach & Accountability partner & a Loving Hypnotherapist (can be ONLINE too) who can help you understand yourself and help you change from the inside out!! I see the true you! I know you can do it!! I'm here for the long road.......because CHANGE takes time!"

`

....She started crying, and knew that it was her time. She said "Alta, I feel like I failed myself. I allowed myself to get so lost in pain & lost in pity, that I don't remember how to fight for what I want. {hugs}"

~

....Wow, it's people like this lady who's pain I feel and recognize all too well, that make me FIGHT to be the CHANGE I wish to see in this world, like Gandhi said. I see & feel & hear the tears of so many...and it makes me want to HUG THE WORLD through this screen!! So really, if you are reading this, and you want help, please message me.

I went to a Halloween party this weekend!! It was SO MUCH fun! I felt really confident & I'm am happy in my skin! The scale said 149 lbs this morning and that seems to be where I'm at these days. It's going to take a hard fight to shake it, but I'm LOVING Turbo Fire already! My legs were sore and I'm seeing definition.


I moved my rest day to yesterday because I really wanted to rest my ankle! I wasn't used to the jumping and I felt a pain!
 
In one week, 12-12 is my bday!! I'm going to be 29 years young! I woke up with GRATITUDE!!! I can't even begin to explain what it means to me to be here at this point in this year in my life. It warms my heart to tears. Really, tears. I know that some of you may know what I mean, but others have no idea. No idea what it's like to break promises to the most important person in your life,...YOU.... over and over and over throughout your entire life. Some people have a "word" that is SOLID GOLD. They say something, they mean it, they focus, and they do it. Good for those people. That wasn't me.... Just saying that makes me cry because I know the COUNTLESS years I spend telling myself otherwise. Promising myself that I was going to take those tears of pain and reshape them into FUEL to change! So many times. I succeeded often, and often fell back and even worse. I look back and that's because I didn't value my word to myself as SOLID GOLD. I would say things to myself, and immediately disregard my own promises. Last January I hit another breaking point. My life spun out of control again, and I allowed it. I even allowed myself to mask it with alcohol and food! I ate myself of out situations without even realizing it. Patterns of life for me. I reached that 190lbs. How could I again do this to myself? Let the most important person in my life down again. Was I not worth it? Was I not good enough? Was I not strong enough? Was I not able? ....The endless years of cycling of pain in my life have been endless to have this problem in my life. The problem of not taking my "WORD" to myself as gold. My word to others suffered as a result as well. There were consequences and I, and others paid them over and over. Neither one of us got the BEST of me. What was the best of me? Something "CLICKED" in January 2011. That something was that... "If I don't change. This pain will never leave me. These tears will always haunt me. This breaking my promises will be something that I will never be able to erase. How could others believe in me if I don't believe in myself?" ...That wasn't fair. I wan'ted that. I wanted other people to believe in ME. Mainly, ...I wanted to BELIEVE in me. Life isn't meant to be this way. I see that other people, the people that are the most happiest, fulfilled, and successful KEEP THEIR WORD to themselves. Why not me? ...Honestly, I wiped my tears once again, and said, "Fu#%K that!!! I believe in you, Alta!!! I DO!! Just do it!" I knew it was going to be hard, but I found Beachbody then, I decided that life could only get worse, and I wasn't going to allow that. Now, it was about getting better. Healing from within. It wasn't ever about weight. It was about not "believing". Not caring to know that "I can keep my word!!!" I made it a goal, to KEEP MY WORD to myself and write in that calendar each and every day of the boxes of the 12 months, and now..... Come full circle one year later, here I stand...with GRATITUDE in my heart, that the DAYS HAVE COME!! I'm now 45lbs slimmer, a MILLION times HAPPIER! I believe in myself and I believe in others because of it! I changed my life and I help others to do it too. There were many times that I cried even amidst my workout, because I knew that even at 1am, if I didn't do it,...then I wasn't keeping my WORD...and I was failing myself. I decided I couldn't do that any longer. I deserve better!! This year...... my bday is a BLESSING!! I am a NEW ME!! My word is SOLID. And this next year, it will become complete GOLD!!! I know it. And I know I can help you too. I've been there. Knock the dust off your shoulders, say,..."THIS IS IT!" And grab my hand, and I'll grab yours back. We can do this!!! {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} <3 to you!!

I've missed you too Alta. Talk about a slow reaction to my birthday greetings! Naughty girl! Fancy letting a change of format to the forum beat you. I've been watching your exercise videos- you've been a very busy woman! Lots of love to you sweetie xoxo Cate
 
haha. Brawny!! I am slim, yes! Compared to what I looked like.. BOOYA! BUT I am still a work in progess! Its a day by day kinda deal ya know! ;)
 
OK! So yesterday was DAY 1 again! I started back on Turbo Fire and started back on Brazil Butt lift!


I noticed that I got a bit frustrated as I did the Turbo Fire because my coordination was off, but I kept reminding myself that moving is better than not moving at all! haha. Brazil Butt lift and Leandro CRACK me up!! He's seriously so funny with his accent! I did Fire 30, which is 30 mins on Turbo Fire and led by Chalean Johnson! <3 She has the best music and the fire drills kill me! Her hiit workouts are like WOA!


Then I did Brazil Butt lift and started with Bum Bum 30 mins! I was drenched with sweat! I'm not sore this morning, but I'm ready to KILL it today!!!


I had fresh veggies for breakfast and ate left over fish from last night and some cabbage. ;) I had my hot peppermint green tea, and water, and fish oil capsule. It's 37 days until Summit for Beachbody coaches in Las Vegas!!!! OMG.. talk about motivating since we are having a pool party at the MGM. Dun dun dun. You know what that means? HOT BODIES!!! Yuppppp... !!! haha. So time to work girlfriend!!!! :) I had trouble sticking to thee menu of the workouts the past months, sicne all last year I stuck to different Beachbody programs religiously. So again, here I go challenging myself to STICK to it 100%!


Am I perfect? HECK NO! Am I going to try? HECK YA!!! Sooooo my people! Let's do it!!!!! I'm looking to get rid of this last jiggle, maybe 20lbs worth!
 
I am SO sore I can't walk. I want to workout tonight, but I'm SORE!! I want to go get it again tomorrow!! It's a drive but so worth the 200 stairs up and down! Slowly but surely I'm getting there!:)
