Week #Uno: holy jizzballs I'm really out of shape.

Suppppp Journey Crew!

Soo I guess I should let yall know a lil something something about muahs.  I'm Salvadorean (si I was born there and am an alien from outer space), 22 years OLD, on the Prince William Women's Competitive Rowing team (F&*$ YEAH!), graduated from NVCC, work in Tysons at an Accounting Firm as an Executive Assistant to the Audit Partners ($ cha-chinggg! $) & I'm on a beast ass escapade to find the sexier me.  Wow, I feel like I'm on a date or something lol. 

I'm actually doing this because my cousin Cindy inspired both my cousin Wendy & I to become healthy & fit.  She's getting married in St. Thomas (the Virgin Islands or something o.O) and we're bridesmaids and I honestly HATE the way I look in my dress SOOOOO it's a must to look good in this damn dress!

FIRST WEEK HAS BEEN DEMOLISHED!  I got through it and went 4 days in a row, uh yeahh total beast mode dude. I'm not even gonna lie I was sweating like a pig & out of breath like it's nobody's business ( & deff not cute mm mm mmm).  I deff got a wake up call and realized how out of shape I was. I know I do crew BUTTT this was different.  I've been rowing for 5 years now and I guess my body is just so used to it. It's like second nature for me to row that I probably even do it while I sleep! But anywho..I got through it and it was tough but damn that first week I was on some type of exercise high that ALL I wanted to do is workout & eat all these delicious [HEALTHY] ass foods. My body was super sore - muscles that hadn't been used in years were yelling at me. I definitely felt alot more energy and less fatigue throughout the whole week at work and at home. I usually take a nap after work and I'm telling ya, these workouts have me wide awake that I'm like uhh f&*% naps let's go outside and run or something!  On Friday it was "rest day" for me and my body was saying "what are you doing bro, we were on a roll, get back to it, don't stop!" I felt weird not working out ( you would never here me saying this BEFORE I started bootcamp).  Once the week ended I was surprised that I actually got through it. As the days went by I started craving all these healthy foods and I'm really beyond proud of myself. Kudos to me! (& everyone as well!) :D

Ermahgerd how could I forget! I found out who my coach was......*drum roll* .... Jadira! Woot woot! I was super stoked when I found out. I swear I could talk to her for hours, she is sooo kind and I swear she reminds me of my mom, always trying to feed her kids and trying to figure out what to cook for dinner.  It's so nice to talk to somebody one on one & get amazing feedback on what meals to try out, what to change & how to work on certain things. Overall it's just awesome and I'm humbled to be her journey cub :)

At the Worx I also made new friends- Vero & Andrea! It's like I've known them for foreverrr or something! Their amazing personalities and their humor is beyond astounding.  Besides those two girlfransss I've also met all the other coaches & the rest of the journey crew. The Worx is basically a home away from home where I get my ass kicked for an hour and told to push harder and although I may be mad (for having a poor diet & being in this situation) at the moment, I'm in my zone daydreaming of my "dream body".

On Sunday Wendy & I went to the supermarket and bought nothing but healthy foods.  Taking pointers from the nutrition seminar, we shopped on the outsides of the store where the fresh produce was and had the fit foods list with all our favorites highlighted. It was an OH YEAH moment! I finally know what to look for and be smart about what goes into my body.  My body isn't a dump truck it's a lambo! duhhh.

My week's goals & plans for the rest of the week are the following:

• Kick ass 4x at bootcamp classes
• If I have extra energy after an intense workout go to another class. For example, this past Monday I went to my first Kazaxe class with Drea & Vero...holy shit bro THAT was awesomeeeee. I was sweating like there was no tomorrow and I was soo into the dance moves (popping that booty 90% of the class) that I didn't even notice I was doing knee lifts, mountain climbers & that one thunder thigh move (INSERT brain fart HERE).  I would definitely go again. 
• I have to stick to eating 5-6x per day.  I hate making excuses but it's so aggravating when I get into work and I get swamped with financials..yess I understand it's busy season for auditors but a girl's gotta eat! I plan on having a talk with my bosses about how I'm going to eat my breakfast and their going to have to wait. Just because I get to work an hour early doesn't mean I'm gonna get it done then and there.
• No workout on Friday, Crew practice in the AM on Saturday but I don't think I'll be able to make it to the Worx on Saturday or Sunday since I'll be in DC for DAYGLOW!  It's an Electronic Dance Music Concert (EDM).  I invited Vero & Drea & it's basically a big paint party with house, trance, techno and dubstep music. I'll make a video while we're there. We're tots going to get a workout :D
• I have to cook my meals at home.  I brought all my groceries to work and make my meals here.  
• I've been slacking on taking pictures & posting on fb of what I've eaten for the day. It would help if I upgrade my crappy iPhone 3GS lol >_< #1stworldproblems.

This week's theme song is my favorite song that get's me pumped!
Afrojack & Steve Aoki - No Beef <3

I hope you enjoyed my (long ass) post! Till next time dudes, keep going strong!

"suck it up & one day you won't have to suck it in" you damn right.
