Systems are ALL ON GO!

WOW - What a week! I have 1,000,001 things going in my mind 24/7. Honestly! I am thankful for my ADHD at times and other times I just want...medicine!

I had a nutritional evaluation this morning and showed the doctor my GetPhatOnline diet plan. She said: WOW! If you are following that and getting in at least 150 min. of cardio a week you are sure to get in tip top shape! Well...DUH!

Following the eating program and training more like 120 min. a day is burning some serious fat FAST!

So week ONE is OVER - and THIRTEEN MORE to go!

Sorry - NO BEFORE PICS YET! My girlfriend and I are meeting Friday night to take a few to send to the GetPhat team and as much as I would like to share my pics NOW with you...I just prefer to wait until I have decent "ALMOST AFTER" shot to go with it...Somewhere in here I know I posted a bad butt shot! Have fun looking for it!

So: today 1/13/2009: 137.5 lbs and 29% Body Fat! I was able to get a B12 SHOT (ouch) but she said NO NO NO to the Phentermine I begged for...I honestly think it should be an ADHD medicine because I can do so much more and am so much more focused when I was taking it...once upon a last year!

I am 1% qualified actually (the doctors rule of thumb is Body Fat should be over 28% to qualify) and I was 29%! Still did not get it! Oh well...I guess I will have to just do more cardio or eat more Tilipia!

By the way...Workouts are killing me! I am one sore pup! I have trained with Ms. O (Jen Hendershott) twice this week and all I have to say is if you want to feel like you have had a workout...you should train with her...She had me doing or trying something called a crab walk and a spider walk. I did not do so hot...My butt just dragged the floor! The great thing about Jen is that she shows you HOW, she says TRY and then she looks at ya with this "DON'T GIVE UP" look that makes you just push a little harder!

I tried to do them again in my living room and my husband just laughed! I challenged him and of course he scooted right across the floor! He said keep working on the crab Liz - just be thankful she did not have you doing a LOBSTER -Oh whatever!

The diet is actually really good and the workouts are an unbelievable plus. I am very fortunate to have Ms. O on a local level to train with even if it makes me just roll across the floor!

By the way...I have had a few ask about the price for GetPhatOnline and I will have to direct you to Lishia Dean or Heather Bear or even better finding them on http://www.getphatonline.com/ . I can tell you that just paying for the nutrition part is not that expensive at all compared to what you get and comparing it to the cost of WI with Fitness Plus, weight watchers or Nutri Diets...This program is tailored to YOU and you get 12 weeks of diet, 24/7 email/phone support, a true accountability team and of course the best benefit...GETTING IN SHAPE!

So, anyway - I make NO money from promoting this great team of ladies. I just feel very honored to be able to share what they are doing for me and how it is working or not working! So far - ALL SYSTEMS ARE ON GO!

Stay tuned for more updates about the countdown to APRIL 10! If the jiggle and the wiggle are out of the butt I will DO bikini, if there is any muscle left under this thick skin and I look the part of Figure I will go that route...We will just have to see...No matter what I am doing what I wanted to do and that is to get my body in its BEST SHAPE ever before the BIG 40!

Thanks for joining me on this journey!

Getting ready for the GETPHATONLINE Challenge!

Yes I am getting ready to repeat "ANOTHER" fitness challenge! The exciting part is that for once I really think it will be the last one I will ever have to do because the progam I am about to take on is one that will carry me through life!

You see, I did one a while back on my own and the truth is I did pretty good on the last challenge until the motivator in me quit motivating! So, I have hired a friend and a professional to get my rear in gear and we start 8/1/2009. I will be following the Jen Hendershot GetPhatOnline Program. I encourage you to look at this and do it with me! Jen is a 2 time Ms. Olympia Fitness Champion and she has great phat camps all over the US to help people just like you and I get it together! She does help women to compete and she host her own shows but she really thrives on seeing people reach goals and get healthy! See more about the progam and current specials at: http://www.getphatonline.com/

I will post all of my stats by Monday but I will tell you now that I think I am around 150 and my goal is 127!

If you want to just watch the transformation in my body subscribe to this post because I will be posting photos soon and measurements!

Personally, I want you to join me because I want you to feel better about the skin you are in at a size 20, 12 or 2! I feel great at 147 lbs, I just know that there is a far better body underneath all of the skin I have and I honestly am not so crazy about the dimples ( all 24 of them)!

The other fact to why I want to do this is that I really believe that if you are healthier and if you have more energy you will make more money in your business and you will be more confident in everything you do!

I NEED TO GET MY A GAME BACK ON!!!What about you?

IF I CAN DO IT! SO CAN YOU!

My AWW Experience and New Motivation

As promised I wanted to tell you all about the AWW in Charleston, SC.





Before I get to this weekend, I have to take you back a few years!





I met Jen Hendershott at a yard sale. I rummaged through an old line of GetPhatOnline.com clothes and chatted with her about her fitness camps. She was eating tilapia at 9:00 in the morning so I knew that she was either crazy or really serious about what she was doing.





Little did I know she was Ms. Olympia...The Olympia is the World Cup, The Super Bowl, The Olympics of body building, figure and fitness.





I was in the presents of a champion...A Tiger Woods, a Lance Armstrong, a Babe Ruth!
To me, she was a neighbor and a nice person.





Through the next few years we have loved getting to know Jen and BK. I learned that she is fun and off the charts with energy! I have also learned she is very serious about everything she does!





Jen's 1st event to host an event of her own has been a dream of hers. As a friend we of course wanted to be there to support her. Little did we know we would be a part of her staff for the weekend. Lynn, myself and Kenzie all had a special part in making this weekend a super success and a success it really was!





The best part of the weekend was meeting her great team! Jen has women from all over the world that run a part in her successful business.





I already knew and loved Lishia Dean because she is local and I have worked out with her. She also competes in Fitness. I love reading her blog and she keeps everyone fueled with fit ideas:

I met Heather Bear who I just adore. I had already read her blogs and felt like I knew her already. She is a mother, wife and leader and I have no doubt you will enjoy reading her blogs.

The rest of the crew ranged from make-up artist to other friends in the industry.





I thought I knew Jen but the real realization of who Jen Hendershott really is, is when you meet the women that have followed her program. Ladies from all over the world came to compete in fitness, figure and bikini. The fact that they competed was wonderful but the stories I heard of the body transformations and the amazing stories of positive influence that Jen had brought to these people only answered what I already knew.





Jen Hendershott is a champion. Her talent to compete and perform like no one you have ever seen is from a God giving talent. However, that talent is only executed with perfection because of the many hardworking hours that Jen puts into diet and training. Amazing dicipline and dedication go into everything she does...She is not selfish, arrogant or a snob. She is a giver and through her personal training program I saw Jen in all of these women. I also saw Jen light up with each girl on stage and I feel that when each trophey was awarded Jen herself was as excited as they were!





The entire weekend was a blast. I took away a few lessons that I will never forget.





There was a competitor that flew in from Kuwait. She flew 9 hours into Atlanta and then took a rental car to Charleston. Her story shared that she trained in the desert at 5 am in 105 degree temperatures, she only had a George Forman grill and certainly did not have a Harris Teeter to run to when needed. She holds a high title in the military and works more than a full day every day! She showed me that I have NO excuse for anything.





I met so many ladies that had lost weight and were in the best shape of thier life in the 30's, 40's and 50's! I will do the best I can to get you the link to some of the amazing tranformations!





Until then...I am ready for another body transformation. I signed up for the 8 week GetPhatOnline.com program and I start August 1st! I hope you will enjoy this blog as a journal of my progress!





I also hope that if you are looking to make a life change that you will realize there are people that will help you!





You know my motto: Live life busy, balanced and blessed! Loving life is a part of that and giving all you got in all you do is from within. Get passion for yourself and let's make the rest of 2009 the year to shine like never before. When you feel good and you look good...Nothing can keep you from being your best in all you do no matter what you are doing!
