Tuesday, March 16, 2010 – I hear voices … Do you?
Okay … Okay … so this past week I was hearing voices, and they’ve starting to creep back up on me again this week. You know the ones that say, “go ahead girl … you’ve been working out hard and consistently ... you can have some girl scout cookies – Girrlllll, one will not kill you”. Or "go ahead, its Friday/Saturday night you deserve to wind down, it’s been a long week, have some champagne (smile) or a beer.”!!! ARGGGGH!
Well those voices were loud this 3rd week of “virtually no sugar”. I am proud to say I WON!!! Now I won’t lie and tell you I didn’t have two girl scout cookies – cuz I did - but I didn’t eat the entire sleeve ... like I would have in the past. AND I went alcohol-free last week! Now that’s a MAJOR accomplishment for me!!!
I know we’ve all been there and still drive-by occasionaly, but I am committed to eating cleaner and working out like I used to. And it is a battle! However, I'm seeing progress!!! Today I actually wore one of those outfits I had put WAYYYY back in the closet – you know the ones - and it fit like it did when I first purchased it!!! This is what is keeping me committed! My body is changing ya’ll and it’s only been 6 weeks!
I know my challenge-sisters can second that, cause we’ve all come quite a ways both in training & body! Big props to Dre for challenging me!!! You’re the best - well until my next workout with ya that is (smile). Just kidding!
Do you hear voices??? If so, tell them to back off and shout … “who loves working out?”!

Dana's Third Post
Tuesday, February 23, 2010 – Friday, March 5, 2010
So these last two weeks, I have felt like a slacker. My back is still hurting and preventing me from doing a lot. Then I got a really bad head cold while I was traveling for work. So I have tried my best to get a workout in when I can but I have been really tired and not feeling well. I know Dre would really disapprove but I feel like I really need to get myself back to being healthy. My breathing has been really labored.
Saturday, March 6, 2010
Today was my first day back full force. I went running (and walking) and did some weights. It wasn’t as bad as I thought. My back is feeling better but my breathing is still labored. I haven’t fully recovered from the head cold so it’s making it a little hard but I pushed through.
Sunday, March 7, 2010
I went for a long high-powered walk today. After yesterday my head cold almost got worse. So I couldn’t run.
Monday, March 8, 2010
Day off – I’m glad too. It’s hard to get back into working out when you’ve taking a few days off.

Kickboxing was hell. I knew I was going to have to do it at some point. But it was so embarrassing because I could hardly keep up with everyone else. I know that’s not the point but it still sucks. I was completely winded. I felt like my heart was going to bust out of my chest. I would be lying if I didn’t say I felt like giving up but I forced myself to push through.

First day back with Dre in a few weeks. I’m excited to see the girls but not looking forward to what I’m about to go through. It was as bad as I thought. All that cardio is killing me. I still have residual breathing complications from my head cold and on top of that I suffer from asthma anyway. Right now the cardio is definitely harder than the weights. But that’s how I’m going to lose these pounds.

I don’t know any other way to say this other than “I really hate this right now.” I’m not where I want to be. I know I could be doing so much better but I’m tired, I hurt, and it isn’t fun. Needless to say I don’t want to go to boxing. I’m really contemplating not going. But I’m just not going to go back home and go straight to the gym. I hope I make it through.

Let’s see how kettlebells goes today. Since I hurt my back, I’m a little scared to do them again. They really aggravated my back the last time. I will probably not do the swings or just use smaller weight for them. I’m glad I did it. My back didn’t hurt to bad at least I wasn’t in any pain. I went down to 10lbs for the swings.
Sunday, March 14, 2010
I’m not as sore as I have been in the last few days. I think my body is starting to catch up to my mind. I’m finally not dreading working out so much.

PRU - WEEK 5
Saturday, March 13, 2010 – I’m tired!!!
I was so not feeling like bootcamp today! I am tired as all get out, my husband took the kids. It was just so tempting to just lie in bed and SLEEP. But, I got up and “made it do what it do”. I’m so glad I did! Kettle bells was challenging today, but right on time. I fed off the energy of Dana, Mark and a two other young ladies – whom I just met. They don’t realize how much they pushed me through class today. Thanks! I left re-energized … I just felt better. I know there are many more days ahead where I will feel like this. It is on these days especially we just have to PUSH through the fatigue and draw our energy from the D3 family! PUSH!!

Wow! I’ve got much to share with everyone. Its already week 5 and I must say I have made some changes and hopefully improvements. So here we go …
If you recall the last time I blogged I mentioned my “reference point suit” and the fact that I had to make some more changes. So I did. Last week I started to eat “CLEANER”.
“Cleaner” is the operative word here. One of the biggest mistakes we make is going cold-turkey, in my humble opinion. That may work for some, but for the vast majority of us, cold-turkey can backfire and set us up for failure. So what I’ve decided to do was cut back on the sugar, but do it smart and gradual.
Now I could not have chosen the worst week to do so, but whatever, when is a good time to cut back on sugar intake!?! In case your wondering what this entailed, I simply substituted more water this week vs. coffee, instead of a whole bottle of champagne I had a split – now that’s big for me ya’ll – and I cut out the candy and sweets altogether and substituted that with fruit. I also tried my best NOT to eat past 8:00.
I can tell you that I have noticed some small changes … my “reference point suit” is fitting a little more loose this week! Talk to you soon!

ROZZIE G WEEK FIVE
Well we begin a new week. Lets keep it going guys! I kind of need some encouragement myself. I am so stiff and sore all the time now. Not really sure what to do about that.I am really hoping these joints hold up to this very rigorous schedule.
I am exercising but i am sure that my eating could be better. This is very hard. How is everyone else doing?

ROZZIE G week five
3/1/10 Really?! Has it been a month already since we started this madness?! I have got to stick with this and see it thru.....I went to boot camp today. I had a feeling she was going to have us running outside. I made it to 29th street and back with a slow trot. That's a big deal on these knees and it also showed me that my endurance is up abit. I still wanted to die but just not as quickly! (smile)
I tried on some jeans this weekend just to see where I am at. Well to my surprise i am down a size! Now if I could just get the eating down better...but everything in time...
