Motivation.................

 I love these workouts!!! Tahitian classes with the Tagaloa group!!!(not to be mistaken for Hot Hula)

this blog has been neglected for the mere fact that my motivation at this point is out the window!!! Reality settled once I stepped on the scale this morning and to my own surprise(not really) I need to get the steppin and get my act together!!! why the photos of Zumba fitness and tahitian? because I actually through all this "none" motivation I have been consistent with these things. I make it a point to workout at least once a day if not twice and sometime three times a day, my down fall my FOOD intake!!! the fact that my mental note of "oh you worked out, you deserve a treat" turns into five cookies later, another sweet treat and heck knows what else gets shoved down my mouth.

I guess I can get my motivation from my hubby, who is doing very well at the moment. I have been able to  maintain to this point but if I ever plan on getting to my goal weight of under 200lbs I seriously need to step it up, like put that drive back up FULL FORCE!!!

So TODAY and the rest of the days to come I AM BACK, I am going to STICK with it as HARD as it seems I am going to make it HAPPEN!!! I have a full 8 weeks to get BUSY and bust the move in the gym and with my food!! Started the day off right with OATMEAL and some Vai mafana yea that's right Vai mafana. Vai mafana seriously settles my stomach. This past weekend I should have really drank it but UHHHHH NO was in DENIAL and NOW TOTALLY REGRETTING IT!! But oh well you learn, you fall, you get back up dust yourself off and TRY AGAIN.

My mentality this whole time since I started this second round of BL was I was NOT going to DEPRIVE myself of things I wanted!! But I should have said don't DEPRIVE yourself, BUT do the 3 bite rule 1. Taste bite 2. Savor bite 3. Remember bite. Something I NEGLECTED to do when enjoying a whole pack of OREOS and getting to the last one and realizing I INHALED the entire pkg OMG!!! I have pictures on my cell that are a daily reminder of where I have come, how far I've come and the ways I have to GO!!! I truly believe my sister Sinai when she said that pictures are your motivation AGREE!!! I post this picture to remind me where I have come and how far I have come!!! But for the longest time I would tell my sis and hubby I don't get what people are saying when they say WOW you look GREAT!! My reply used to be "Why? I look the same", until I started looking at pictures LMBO!!! so true!!!

So here's to my JOURNEY to a healthier SKINNIER ME!!!(maybe even a PREGGERS ME =) Wish ME LUCK!! it's been a ROCKY one but like the hubs says Buckle up and enjoy it!!! =)

Sinai's BL Competition!!

So it's been a while since I came on here!! Don't worry I was still working out!!! But I actually "beefed" up for this competition. Remember how I was in the 51lb loss? well I gained some lbs just for this competition lol that's my excuse and I am sticking to it. I maintained the the majority of the weight so I am starting this competition at 258.8 yes this was done in the evening and yes I stuffed my face for this exact reason!!! I have a goal weight I would like to get to that I have written down in a safe place lol Come on now I am still in this to WIN IT!!! I came in 4th the last competition so this time I need to step up my game. There are 99 Women and 28 Men in this competition. One of the Men in this competition is MY HUBBY!!! We are doing this together this round =) I am super excited and nervous and dreading the hard core workout and food but I AM READY!!! wish me luck 85 days to MAKE A DIFFERENCE for good and KEEP it OFF!!!

Weight loss is a STURGGLE..........I'm willing to FIGHT FOR

I was talking with my sis Sinai and telling her how much of a battle weight loss is!! I was kind of stuck in a rutt, feeling LAZY!!! feeling like I could EAT everything and anything, workouts to minimum, weighing my self here and there instead of morning and night. My sis reminds me you are what you THINK, so if I think I'm a FAT KID then I will end up being a FAT KID. She told me I need to think POSITIVE and think SKINNY!!! and eventually I WILL BE!!! IT"S ALL IN MY HEAD!!! 

So I am determined to have a NEW mind set!!! POSITIVE THINKING!!! So here's to me BACK in the GRIND!!! a healthy life long CHANGE!!!

I DID IT!!! 51lbs Woohooo

I can proudly say that I am 51lbs lighter Oh yea!!! My biggest fear after the BL competition was going back to my very BAD BAD habit of good ol SUGAR!!! I was able to maintain the week there after and this week well I can't say that I am glad I got sick but it did help me on the appetite of things lol didn't have one and hence the 51lb loss!! I can proudly say I am 3lbs away from getting out of the 240 range wooohoooo!!! never in a million years would I think I had the determination and drive to be where I am at now!!! Thankfully there are women around me that inspire me!!! the bigger goal would be under 200 lbs but I seriously worked my behinds off to get where I'm at!!

I heard somewhere that you should always celebrate every lb lost!!! Well in my case I did!! with an amazing dinner with my hubby!!! My hubby commented and was like can I take a picture of u so u can see how far u have come? and I just laughed and was like "ok, but I still look the same" I am forever grateful for a supportive hubby who still does give me the look like are u sure u wanna eat that lol thank goodness for that!!! I am forever grateful for the endless SUPPORT of family and friends!!! I consider myself a lucky gal!!! no joke!!!

1more lb and to 50lb weight loss =)

My original goal for the 3month BL challenge was to be at least to a 60lb loss, I got to 45.6 lb loss by November 1st. It's only Wednesday and I weighed in at 244 so that makes it a 49lb LOSS!!! I know I have the rest of this week to maintain but I am going to do my best!!! I told my hubby that I hope to get to 60LB weight loss by at least the end of the year!!! Wish me LUCK because I know it will be hard BUT I CAN DO IT!!! I have these pictures to remind me of how far I have come!! and how much MORE I need to GO!!!

I DID IT!! FOR ME!! .............But because of HER lol =)

 so interesting the things cameras can do for ya a lil photoshop goes a long way bwaahaaa!!! This is my INSPIRATION!!! my sis SINAI PAUNI!!! She is to MANY!!! My sis always told me that when your ready to commit YOU WILL KNOW, I seriously DID NOT think I had it IN ME I know way to be a Debbie DOWNER but that is the TRUTH. Thank you SINAI for being such a great EXAMPLE to ME!! Thank you for believing in me when I didn't believe in myself!!! I am PROUD to say I am 46lbs Lighter and YOU helped ME get there!!! Thank YOUS will never be enough to show the gratitude and happiness that I truly feel for this whole entire Journey!!! No worries I still have 30 + lbs that I am still going for to lose so this blog will still be running!! because IT's NOT EASY but who said it ever would be huh?

DaY 5 Lemonade Diet

So I kinda cheated day 4 of the diet =( I had some steamed veggies, it's interesting that the things I crave seem to be healthier choice..............GO FIGURE. But I started out this morning getting on the scale and realizing that I had lost 46lbs and then reality set in and my mind set is to still drink my lemonade and eat some veggies and or fruits. I know it's not really doing the diet much good but IF I can maintain and still loose while eating veggies and fruits then I'm gonna do it lol
