Gorilla Heart Health Study - Cincinnati Zoo

I’m on a journey to my dream body

some women would kill to have that “Victoria Secret Body”

well that is my goal, and I’m going to use this blog to track my workouts and progress

I’m also going to post inspiration photos (only VS angels)

motivation quotes and workout tips

my goal is not only physical perfection but the understanding

that you can do anything you put your mind to

I believe I can accomplish this and so I will

follow me on my journey xoxo Cyn

I slept in today, which is unusual for me. I feel really good - partially from working out hard yesterday! I’m going to the gym today, but I’m not sure what I should do… any ideas? I already ran some laps today. :)

How’s everyone’s day going so far? What is everyone doing to be fit today?

I’m planning on starting a Progress Blog where I’ll post pictures and some reviews on my work outs and things I eat and some ongoing measurements and whatnot now that I’m almost ready to start my P90X training.

It’s going to be password protected so my“”half-naked”“ self won’t be at too much of a public-display.

[I will also be posting a link in a few minutes to my new fitness blog]

But it is a FITSPO-type blog, so if you’re interested in getting healthy or toned[like I’m gunning for] or just wanna show me some support [which I will GREATLY appreciate] just send me a message in my ask box and I’ll inbox you the password :)

I start p90x as soon as I can get a pair of resistance bands, just so you know. Which could be as soon as this weekend.

Here’s a link to my ask:http://andtheworldwaswell.tumblr.com/ask

and if you know of anyone that is a fitness blog or that likes following fitness blogs let them know about me, or let me know about them.

Thanks you guys, I love you all :)

He's Been Fighting AIDS from the Start :

“In San Diego, a physician named Douglas Richman knew something odd was happening even before the first report in 1981. He found himself treating sick gay men but couldn’t figure out what was wrong with them.”

I just jogged for the first time ever with my boyfriend. Gone about 30 minutes :) It was a mix of jogging and walking because I’m new at it but I also have asthma. I can’t wait to jog again :)

Day 3 - 30 Day Shred

Well, well. My endurance has certainly improved over the past few days. I’m starting to fly through this workout. However, the static lunges are killing my leg muscles.

It is also getting a lot easier to handle the five pound weights (I’m used to the 2 pound weights). 

I walked to and from school and the calorie calculator said that burns 309 calories.

I ate:

hummus, pita, and veggies (very small portions) ~ 179 calories (said so on the package - got it at school)

blueberries, grapes, fudge Popsicle, watermelon

diet pepsi

dinner: tabouli salad w/ quinoa and 2 cups of shrimp

Quinoa Tabouli

-parsley

-green onion

-tomatoes (finely chopped)

-quinoa

-extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, garlic

Until tomorrow!!

Lifting and job

Today I lifted and felt kinda weak.  It felt like I struggled to do my normal lifting routine and felt completely exhausted.  I thought I had an interview with a company but it turned out to be a webinar and I’m supposed to e-mail them for an interview.  The webinar made it sound like a suspicious company so I haven’t decided if I want to e-mail them back.  I am currently looking for a local job or possibly finding a job in Colorado and moving.  What do you think I should do?

Spinning

Since Monday was a holiday, I didn’t take my usual Monday spin. I went yesterday instead.

I have mentioned before how spin is so dependent on the teacher. Yesterday was no exception.

This teacher started out with some baby hills to get your heart rate up. Then jumps which I haven’t done in a while which was good. Lastly it was like a 15 minute uphill climb with sprints. He kept saying turn the dial to the right. By the end of it, I could barely get my legs to push the pedals around since I had so much tension - it was like trying to ride through west cement that was a foot deep.

Even though overall I thought class was sort of boring, I felt like I had a fantastic strength workout - more so than cardio. It was like a legs day.

Glad I went - but it can’t hold a candle to my Monday class!!!
