BLC 19- ABC'S OF ME

Friday, April 20, 2012

A- Above and beyond. Does competition push you?- I am a very competitive person. I always strive to do my best and be the best. 

B- BLC ROUNDS- I am a Goldie this is either my 6th or 7th BLC. I was with the Mochas my first two rounds and have been a Pixie every since. 

C- Children- no biological children yet but I work with 24 blind and visually impaired girls that in a lot of ways are like my own daughters. 

D- Downfall- my biggest down falls are what I call recreational carbs- bread, pasta and potatoes. I haven't eaten sugar in 17 months but that could also be a major downfall if I pick it up again.  Another downfall is soda. 

E- Excuse- my biggest excuse is that I don't have time to exercise. I am a full time student and work full time. I have dedicated my morning time to my workouts. The Pixies always encourage me and it helps by remembering that I need to take the time for me. 

F- My parents and I adopted an adorable puppy named Charlie 2 year ago. He has brought us so much love and joy and definitely completed our family. 

G- My grocery cart is filled with fruits, vegetables and lean proteins. 

H- I live in Tucson Az

I- I have to say right now my biggest inspiration is ME. I am doing things now that I never thought I would achieve in my life and I'm finally becoming the person I was meant to be. 
Right now a huge inspiration for me is my 10k that I will be doing on June 3rd 

J- I work with blind and visually impaired girls ranging in ages from 5-22. I teach them daily living skills and how to be as independent as they possibly can. 

K- My focus when I'm short on time is to remember to stay true to who I am 

L- the sad answer to this question is I do not Log. That is something I would like to commit to doing these next 12 weeks. 

M- for me it is both. The scale recently has been moving very slow so it has been the mirror. 

N- funny story two rounds ago there was another Pixie named Amber so I had to come up with a nickname so I became CLOVER. It was at that tome that I really began working on me and THE_TIME_IS_NOW came about. 

O- I drink 64 ounces of water per day if not more. 

P- I try to incorporate at least 5 fruits and 5 veggies in my meals everyday. 

Q- "Believe in your dreams and they may come true; believe in yourself and they will come true." -Unknown

R- I try to work out 5 days a weeks for 60-90 minutes a day. Sometimes I do more

S- Single 

T- mountain 

U- my parents got me a cricut for Christmas. Making cards and signs and posters have been a great way to help me relax and have fun. 

V- it is a big understatement to say I am a DISNEY FREAK. I love everything about Disney and go to Disneyland every year at least once. Right Now we are planning a trip to Disney World which is my dream vacation coming true. I think my new dream vacation would be to travel to Europe with my parents. 

W- yes I do follow an ST Workout. I do weights every Monday, Wednesday and Friday 

X- my goal for the next 12 weeks would be to lose another 10-15 pounds if not 20. 

Y- I tend to do both. It really depends on my mood. I can learn quickly from my mistakes or dwell on them. 

Z- right now that would be my trainer. She is a constant positive influence and always pushes me above and beyond what I ever imagined I could accomplish and achieve.

    CRABS! My snow white apple too! They make me sleepy just like Snow White! What kind of dog is Charlie - and have you posted pics? I can help you with logging if you want. Spark mail me - there are all different ways to get the info into the system. It doesn't have to be perfect. It's just an eye opener. When I first started logging, I thought I was doing great - but I was eating more than 6000 calories a day! And I work with nutrition! So it's kept me very mindful. Once you start, it's addicting. And being true to yourself - well, I'll get off the soap box. But spark mail me if you want. I'm here for you. And Disney world sound amazing - I want to go and see the WHOLE thing. Epcot too! Maybe you can find me some real pixie dust there....sigh. Well - tomorrow we start. Ready? YES WE ARE!

    Do you think you could write a letter to my husband on the benefits of having a personal trainer? LOL! I had one a few years ago and she was the greatest.

We used to live in San Diego, so we went to Disneyland all the time! Space Mountain is my favorite ride!!! I have pictures of my very own "Prince Charming" in front of Cinderella's Castle. I am, however, terrified of mascots, so it was always a challenge to avoid Mickey and his crew!
