my journey seems like the neverending story....

One day at a time Ivette..One day at a time..think of all the good days you have strung together already! Your snowball is starting
 
:biggrinjester: I see it!!! It's going to happen...... 2009 is my year baby... I made myself a promise that before I turn 30.. I will be a happy person with who I am and will have tried extra hard to find myself and I will be in a bikini this summer....:party:


So in my sauna sessions they say I have to drink this energy juice every morning.. which is composed of eggplant,cucumber, celery and relish and a cup of water.. as weird as it sounds it taste :cheers2: I don't know if I can do this everyday but for today it's done..:smilielol5: It's suppose to give me energy and raise my metabolism...and not keep me hungry for a few hours.. of course I'm not gonna be hungry after this...:smilielol5:

Well as for a beautiful tuesday morning.. I willl have... :patriot: yeeaaa..

I also did 25 mins on the elliptical last night. I couldn't do 30 or I just quit at 25.. I got bored...

I think everyone is an instant gratification person!! Cohens isnt for everyone and some may even frown upon it but it worked so well for my mother. I just had to try it!!
This time I really have to reach goal weight, stay healthy for my sake and my kids sake!! Plus I want to travel, see the world.
I know how lame and shallow this may sound but I dont want my little sister to be embarrassed of me, I want her to look up to me! Especially when soooo many people tell me we look alike and I know what they are thinking, except your much bigger than her!!

Anyways in regards to the polka dot bikini, mine isnt going to be polka dots mine is going to be pink leopard print!!

Well today day 2 of the weirdo shake!!!!!!!!!!!

cucumbers, relish, eggplant, celery and water... ummmmmmmyummy:smilielol5:
:smilielol5:

Today is session 2 of my sauna classes.. which basically they stick me into a body bag that throws heat for 2 hours... Beats bikram yoga,:drool5: I still can't handle bikram, therefore I am taking babysteps...:sifone:

I am motivated, postiive, and ready to endure any challenge and obstacle that comes my way. The warrior in me has become alive.:sifone:
 
Everybody is putting together these "weirdo" shakes with all sorts of vege's and whatnot. I need to join the club, but I'm afraid that I'll throw up. :puke:

You are such a positive person Ivette. I love your mentality. Keep up what you're doing!
 
Hey Ivette,
I havent gone anywhere, just very busy at work. Can you beleive they expect me to work when I'm there. :rolleyes:


Status quo on the workouts, plenty of lifting and cardio. I just got back from the gym and i actually might go back after work for some cardio. I feel good and hope to see more results soon but we'll see.

Kick ass job on drinking those shakes. I don't think i could do it. I'm so happy you are continuing with your positive attitude. A positive attutide is so attractive to me.

One thing is don't get hung up on this "instant" results. Rememeber this is a long term lifestyle. Trust in what you are doing and you will see results even if the scale might not move.

One more thing...all this talk about you getting into a bikini this summer, I want to see some pics. :D

HAhahahah!!!! OMG....this thread is funny with your nasty shakes EVERYONE wants... but doesn't :reddevil:!!! HAHAHAH!!! Wooohooo....congrats WOMAN, on DAY 2 of Sauna!!! It actually does beat Bikram...:D:...that is one tough cookie!!! Whatever floats your boat WOMAN!!!

...have I TOLD YOU HOW PROUD AND INSPIRED BY YOU I AM LATELY!!!!..... I think your attitude is AMAZING and just KEEP IT UP, and it's ON BABY!!! IT'S ON!!!!!!!! :hurray:

....I went to the gym last night too with Christine....BALLY'S BABY!....I went on the late night tip.....around 10-11:45 pm....it'd be COOOOOOOL :cheers2: if you joined! Then we could tear it up & I would feel much more inspired as I'm sure you would too,.......;)....not to mention I could show you what I know about that place :reddevil:.............:D:!!!!

...also...I wanted to let you know just in case you wanted to jump in on OUR "PACT" of MONDAY MORNING @ 6:00 am :eek2: SPINNING CLASSES!....

:D Freudian slip? ;)

Hey Ivette my dear, you have a LOT to deal with, especially in regards to family life. I wish you the best of luck on that! And the desire for instant gratification is understandable, but unfortunately it's not always possible and YOU KNOW? You'll be happier after hard work and dedication start to show. You will, your life will be better, and you'll start to achieve balance and inner peace :)

Living in Hollywood must be really intimidating!

Hey my aunt works at Frederick's of Hollywood, maybe you've seen her--her name is Lisa but she goes by Leaka and she's about 50 and Native American, short, with a huge smile.
 
I was thinking of taking one for the team.. You get me the recipe, exact amounts of each ingredient and i will try one of those shakes. Call me crazy but i am curious to see how bad....i mean, how good they are.
