Stomach is still very much upset, pushed through some cardio today.
Friday, April 30, 2010
My Stomach is on fire … I will have to work it out tomorrow.
Thursday, April 29, 2010
Mad props to Nakia!!! You look absolutely FABULOUS! Okay, I forgot how Nakia get’s her workout on … but it didn’t take long before I remembered today at C3. From the burpee-push ups to the Tae-bo moves, we worked it on out tonight! Thanks for showing me YET ANOTHER DAMN area I have not worked … my hip-flexor was about to flex its way right on out of your class tonight (smile)!
Nakia & Mattie have both made me realize that I must step up my game with respect to clean-eating. I’ve definitely been eating “cleaner”, but I can’t help but imagine the results I can get – sooner – if I go hard. So beginning in MAY - 2 days - I’m committed to stepping up my game in this area!

Okay it’s on for real! One of my nurses grabbed my stomach and said “that’s your mark of motherhood”! ARGGG!!!! Now she meant it in a very complimentary fashion, but now you all know … I DON’T WANNA HERE THAT! Do you know how much fat has come off that area in the past few months???? That was once an area of great pride for me … and I’m gonna get it back. All I got to say is IT”S ON!!! Six-pack of ABs by August 1st!

Today was the “fit” test … I’m still here, but wow … I’ve really got to work on my endurance. We had to run 2 miles, but it felt like five. Man … just a few years ago, 2 miles was a warm-up for me. Oh well, just another goal to strive for.

WEEK 12
This was a crazy busy week, so I didn’t journal like I normally do. At any rate, overall this was a good week. I started to try and eat 5 times/day (every 3 hours), which is a REAL challenge. I’m determined to make this a habit.
On Saturday, I was looking at myself in the mirror and I must say I am starting to see the fruits of my labor! It feels wonderful! I don’t want to start getting too excited though ,,, I’ve still got some pounds to shed and inches to lose before I reach my ideal size.
I also treated myself and got my hair done for a change this week! Hey! I’ve been going hard for 3 months and I deserved it! In all seriousness though, I believe in rewarding myself when I reach a milestone … It’s important that we do that. Whether it’s a new workout outfit, shoes, day at the spa … whatever … treat yourself!
WEEK 11
Saturday, April 15, 2010
Today was crazy busy, birthday party for son’s classmate 10:30 a.m., track meet afterwards, dinner at friends house in suburbs at 4:00. Crazy busy. I only got in 1.5 miles on the treadmill. My plan was to come home and finish up with weights, of course that did not happen. I know better … gotta plan around these types of days.
I’m disappointed in myself because I ate crap. I know better.

ROZZIE G WEEK eleven
4/19 Oh my god! i went to the doctor about my knees. I have arthritis in both knees. I knew that. Told them not interested in surgery. They offered a cortisone shot for both knees to help with the inflammation and pain. If you have ever had a cortisone shot, you will understand why i only took one in the most painful knee. Once they put the needle in , it felt like everything in my knee just locked up in a hard ball! Can I say pain! Hell to the naw to a shot in both knees! They say its worse till it gets better and it was. I wasn't limping when I went in but I was when I left! Needless to say no class tonight!
4/20 Knees not quite there yet. I thought about kettlebell class but I figured my knees wouldn't take it. I decided to go to pool.
4/21 Inspired by Stephanie's strong arms, I went to gym and did upper body work. I figured I would give my knees a break and work on my arms.

Today was crazy busy, birthday party for son’s classmate 10:30 a.m., track meet afterwards, dinner at friends house in suburbs at 4:00. Crazy busy. I only got in 1.5 miles on the treadmill and a few reps of arms. My plan was to come home and finish up with weights, of course that did not happen.

C3 was a BEAST of a workout today! Damn! It was HOT HOT HOT in the gym today, I thought I was going to black out for sure … I managed to get through … BARELY! I’m sure I lost 5lbs from sweating alone. Days like this are tough, but worth the work. I wanted to stop so many times but I just kept talking to myself. Everyone in the class worked so hard despite the heat.
Now I’m not gonna sit here and say during the push-up walk I didn’t have to drop to my knees a few times, but I kept going. I made it! Dizzy as all get out and my damn foot is killing me, but I’m still here!
As I always tell Dre, I’m gonna be the finest, fittest, 40-something with a walker on the planet! Thanks for the “beat down” Dre … though I didn’t have my watch properly set I’m with you at least 600 calories.
Wednesday, April 14, 2010
Dre gave us some sample meal options. Gonna start following this will keep you posted. Though I stated I was going to eat even cleaner this month I didn’t have any clear-cut strategy/goal, this will certainly help out.
Tuesday, April 13, 2010
Had a crazy busy day today … work, track meet, finish taxes, bathe son, return work email, etc., etc., … but I managed to get my workout(s) in. I had to break my workout into two sessions – as much as I hate doing that - I had to get my goal in. Knocked out my 30 minutes of cardio early and then “walked” off – yeah “walked” … a mile … so there - my remaining calories late last night. I didn’t care how I got it done I just had to hit my daily exercise goal.
Shout out to my hubby Mickey, who supports me no matter WHAT! Thanks babe I love you, couldn’t do any of this without you! Just thought you should know!
“Mama say Mama saw Ma Maw Cu Saw” … My theme song for the month!!!
Monday, April 12, 2010
Its Monday what can I say. Gotta step up my game and get back on track this week.
WEEK 10
Saturday, April 11, 2010
Okay I partook of the spirits last night. No not church … alcohol! Had a few co-workers over and we got our drink on. That’s it for me … back to clean eating. I made it to and through kettle bells this morning and you know I didn’t want to go.
Thanks Merica (kettle bell diva) for noticing the changes in my weight! You made my day and gave me more PUSH to stay focused!
Thursday, April 9, 2010
Good workout! She wore my tail out today in C3, but it was a good one. She turned on the classic MJ (You wanna be starting something) “ mama say mamma saw ma maw cu saw …” , at the right moment, cuz I was about to fallout! I don’t know what it is about that song, but that pumped me up and kept me going!!
Wednesday, April 8th
Hey ya’ll I dodged a bullet Tuesday… my company laid off 400 people – w/less than a days notice. A few friends of mine were ‘displaced’ –as they like 2 call it . . . which just makes me feel like crap. Please pray for them . . . I kmow God takes care of his children.
On the workout tip, needless 2 say I 2asnt feeling it again, but we did our first weigh-in since the beginning of the challenge and Dre’s scale n mine both confirm a 7lb weight loss!! I’m happy, however, im still a long way from my goals. I am encouraged and motivated!

ROZZIEG WEEK TEN
4/17/10 Im still in it. Got these knee issues but i am still standing. I am hoping for a good report on Monday regarding my knees.
I ve got to keep track of my accomplishments big and small...I have already mentioned my fears in the pool. Yet, I keep going doing my thing. I was there Friday morning and both of the outside lanes were occupied. Only the two middle lanes were open. I was determined to follow through on my plan. So, I got in and started my jog from one end of the pool to the other. I noticed that when I got to the middle of the lane the water hit me higher up then it normally does when I am in the outter lanes. But,I didn't get nervous this time. I kept going. I actually got in the outter lane when someone left. But I returned to the middle lane again to finish my workout as I realized that the deeper water added to my workout!
On Tuesday, in kettlebell, on the swings Dre suggested we try a weight heavier than we have used before. I tried the 20 lbs! Little by litte....one step at a time......
Though my clothes are fitting much looser, I know I could be eating cleaner. Its almost like my psychie doesnt want me to lose too much weight and subconsciously I eat something knowing its not the best choice. Still working on a sister!>>>>

ROZZIE G WEEK nine
4/5/10 Man first day back from vacation. Off from work just to adjust to being back. My knees are still bothering me. I know I cant hang with a class with Dre tonight. I decide to do an hour of exercise in the pool.
4/6/10 Kettle bell tonight. My knees are killing me. I really must have overdone it in North Carolina. Dre reminded me that if I keep over doing it, i wont be able to finish what I've started. That will surely piss me off! Absorbing JR has become my new best friend. I have got to keep these knees going.
PRU- a big shout out to you for hanging in there and keeping your diet in check. i want to be like you when i grow up!
