Good Morning D3 family- First off I want to say to Melissa both your classes you taught last night were great. You're an awesome trainer and I’m so happy you're a part of D3. You have such a positive attitude and you know how to keep everyone on track and involved. Great Job Melissa! I can’t wait to take another class with you.
I’m on my 7th day of dieting and it’s going very well. The one thing I love about D3 is that it really is like a family. The girls/guys at D3 really know how to support each other. It’s so nice to have members come up to me and ask me how I’m doing with all this and that they can see a change in my body already. I’m sure i'm not just speaking for myself when i say this but i'm my worst critic and most of you who know me know how hard I am on myself so for me it really helps to hear the positive feedback from everyone. Thank you all for your support it means so much to me and I’m sure it means just as much to the other girls who are in this training as well. I’m so proud of everyone who is in it and everyone who comes to D3. So many of you work so hard and it really shows. Keep up the great work!
I want to send a special thank you to Constance… You’re such an awesome friend and I have to say you really do keep my spirits up!! You always know exactly what to say to me to get me to laugh or keep me positive and I love you for that..
Jan I want to thank you as well.. I was feeling pretty blah on Saturday afternoon and you pushed me to keep going. I want you to know how much I appreciate that. It’s nice to have someone push me right back because god knows I’m always pushing you!! J
One last thing.. Michele & your beautiful daughter Taylor i’m so glad you joined D3 you both are a breath of fresh air and you make me smile when I see you both at Saturday classes. Michele thank you again for the sweet, sweet card you gave me awhile back you’re an awesome woman!! I’m so happy to have met you!!
Have a fabulous day!!
Xoxo

My first Blog that I never was able to post becasue i was in the wrong section of our blog!! OOPS!
Hi Bloggers!! - For whatever reason i was entering my blog's in the wrong section.. OOPS!! So i thought i would re-send this one just to share it with everyone and it was my very first blog!! :)
I still can't believe I’m doing this. This all seems so surreal to me but in time I’m sure I'll feel different about all of it. The first day wasn't so bad but i did notice I’m peeing A LOT more than i normally do... :) The diet itself isn't so bad but I have to say it’s a lot of work and at times I feel like I’m eating so much but as Dre aka (Pookie) says "DO NOT SKIP A MEAL" and believe me I won't. I'm very excited about this experience and I’m very excited to see how my body is going to look in 5mths. If you would’ve asked me a year ago if I would do something like this I would’ve said “Hell No” HA but thanks to all the support from my fellow D3 members I’m really going to do this.
Stephanie Hunter has been my inspiration as well as Dre and my very very good friend Beatriz Roman who is also putting her heart and soul into this. I’m so proud of Bea and what she’s accomplished already and I’m so pumped to see what she’s going to look like in 5mths. I know this is not going to be easy for me or anyone who is doing this but with all your support and the support of my family and friends I know it’s going to be an amazing journey for me.
Dre (Pookie) – I want to personally thank you for everything you do for me and for having the faith in me to do this. I can’t believe I’ve been with D3 for 3yrs it’s crazy how fast time goes by and I’m so thankful for everything and everyone in my life. One last thing "Congratulations on your award you’re receiving tonight!" Love You!
Enough for now!!! I hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

Week 2
Good Morning D3 Family-
Well I made it thru my first week and my first Holiday Party!!! I can't lie it was tough but with my friends support at the party it was easy... Little advise "Stay as far away from the kitchen and bar as you can when you're a party" :) I did have times thru out the day over the weekend when i just wanted to give up but i didn't i just kept telling myself 4mths and 20 some days to go i can do this and then i was fine. It's also that time of month and let me tell you it's no walk in park when you're on this kind of diet. Someone at class on Saturday asked me if i was feeling lighter.. LOL i wish i could've said yes but i wasn't and I’m still not. I’m sure it has everything to do with being that time of month. So I’m actually looking forward to being done with aunt flow just to see if i do feel any lighter or better because i couldn't feel more bloated and stuffed as i do right now it SUCKS! but like anything it's almost over and fingers crossed come Thursday or Friday I’ll feel 100% better then i do right now. So I’m curious is it just me or has anyone else experienced this feeling during this time of the month?
I hope everyone had a great weekend and i look forward to seeing everyone at class this week!

First Weekend
Hey D3 Fam!
Well, the first weekend passed and it was a challenge. And not for the reasons I thought. I learned a tough lesson! I anticipated that the weekend would be rough because of the "extra time" to contemplate all the food I'm not eating. Nope! The problem I ran into was PLANNING!! Dre told us repeatedly the importance of planning our meals. I did pretty well for the week and figured that I'd have time to prepare my weekend meals since I didn't have to work. Uhhhh..no.
I was all set to babysit my month old nephew..overnight. I really thought I was doing something when I packed my little oatmeal and protein. I figured I'd cook the rest as I went along. Needless to say...didn't happen. I missed a whole meal!! Who'd a thunk that little rascal would keep me so busy!! (obviously, i have no children). And then there was an unexpected death and a memorial...
As soon as I got home yesterday, I spent the next 2.5 hours cooking all my food for the week and putting them in their little portioned baggies...Lesson Learned...PLAN, PLAN, PLAN

Day 1
Good Morning D3!
So, today is Day 1 of our training and prep for the show in May! I've been SOOO excited to get started! That is, until I drank that olive oil this morning...tip: chase it with vitamin C! At any rate, I'm ALL THE WAY IN!! And even though I stared at 40 pictures of food featured in Chicago Magazine's Top Favorite Neighborhood restaurants this morning (for about 30 minutes), I did it while eating my scheduled meal!
I can't lie, I've never met a piece of pizza I didn't like. And I guess they all liked me right back..so much so that they decided to hang around and stick real close to my ribs:-) And although it's never easy to say goodbye to a loved one, I sent his ass and his friends Cranberry and Vodka on their way...I'm sure they'll be fine.
I'm oh so ready for a journey that's been a long time coming! I'm so thankful to be a part of it and I hope you all get something..anything from what we share here. I fully expect this to be humbling (especially when you all see my BEFORE picture:-), challenging, frustrating and hard as hell but I'm so ready for the vision I have of myself on the inside to be on the outside!
Best of luck to my fellow crew!
