Work Out Flow pt1

-
November 2011
I haven't written any thoughts about my work out flow. I haven't been very consistent and that is the worst part but with that being said. I have seen progress between the first walk and now. I think that it time for a little glimpse into what is changing. When I saw the picture below I was devastated  To be honest, going from the figure I had (picture above) to what I look like now is just depressing. I have gained almost 20-lbs of pure FAT! And considering that fat on me goes straight to my midsection and thighs, it makes me look extra hefty.

So I am taking you on a beginning look of my work out journey. Although it may not be the most consistent work out, it is working out slowly and surely.
What happens when I didn't stretch! Lesson Learned 

 Step One: Stretch

  • Plank
  • Side Bends
  • High Knee Pulls
  • Forward/Reverse Arm Circles
  • Side Cross Kicks
  • Torso Twists
  • Jumping Jacks
  • Should Stretches
  • Laying Hamstring Stretches

Step Two: Eat Healthy!!!!
Eating healthy includes healthy snacks and meals. Making sure that you do not over eat is key. I had to be sure to cut back on eating unhealthy snacks or over eating healthy snacks because that can back fire as well.

 Step Three: Cardio

  • Pilates
  • Running/Jogging/Walking
  • Yoga


Walking 3.5 mile minimum
Step Four: Track your progress
  • Take Pictures
  • Weigh yourself 
  • Take measurements of key areas
  • Set goals
December 2012-
Goal is to tone body and get into shape, be able to jog 3.5 miles
 Step Five: Mix it up and try something new

  • Mix up work out
  • Try new exercises
  • Try new diets (dieting relates to what you eat not the exercise and definitely not starvation)


Trying something new.

Black Female Extravaganza 2011 March 19, 2011 at 7pm Phillips Center for the Performing Arts The women have been practicing and having rehearsals since last semester and it all came down to this finally show. They have just one chance to get each line right, execute each move with perfect precision, and hit every note on time. The room slowly fills up with friends and family waiting for the show to start. A voice comes over the speaker system, "Please stand for the Negro National Anthem".  The Black Female Extravaganza (BFE) singers take the stage and give everyone a sample of what they have been waiting for. The introduction had everyone hooked, with angelic voices singing in unison but still managing to maintain their own unique tones for the audience to cherish. These women blessed our ears through out the show with ease.  As the finale is close approaching the lovely ladies strut their stuff at the end of the show. After the show had com to a close fami
