Blogoversary Countdown!



Happy 2013 everyone! I can't believe how fast time has flown! As I look back and read through older posts, I reminisce about the very first day I began my blog. Yes, its been quite a journey folks and I'm happy to have shared it with you all!

Moving forward...This month last year marks the start of my fitness journey as I battled through my most heaviest weight of 125lbs. After having fought 2 months of a sinus infection, I gave myself a challenge which was to cut that weight down to 112 by May of 2012 (just in time for a friend's wedding). It wasn't easy making that fat cry tears of sweat as I became obsessed weighing myself everyday - BIG MISTAKE! Through research, I found Jamie Eason's Live Fit Training which challenged me and got me prepped for more physical training that I never knew my body could handle! She is definitely my fitspiration!!!

Now during the first few months, I battled weeks of my weight fluctuating from 117lbs to 115lbs and then back up again. Yes, I was a bit hard on myself, but I was always determined to reach my goal. Well, I did reach my goal by last May and after moving back to Cali from Texas that same month for a new gig, I rewarded myself with a gym membership! The stationary bike and treadmill had become my best friends for a whole month as my weight had finally stabilized and I was really feeling and seeing the results. After a month of sticking to only cardio workouts, I made an effort to hit the free weights and researched different workouts that targeted all muscle groups. With the aid of various supplements and my constant daily protein intake, I had slimmed down tremendously as I now weigh 105lbs.

I'm no longer at a point where I need to lose weight as I'm actually trying to eat more protein and lift heavier to gain muscle mass. Yes, this year is all about bulking up for me as I've got plans to participate in a natural physique competition in 2014/2015. On another note, this month last year marks when I first created my very own blogger account and in 8 days, it'll be my 1 year Blogoversary! Then the day after marks my 31st birthday!!! Big things coming!!! Also, in case you haven't read my previous posts, the hubs and I finally moved to our very own home and not to mention, the day after Christmas, we adopted a German Shepherd mixed doggy from the shelter! Everything is falling into place accordingly and I'm stoked to share the love with you all!

On another note, I was recently contacted by a Dermagist.com representative who has given me the opportunity to select and try a set of their skin care products by which they had just recently sent me a complete package that I will be sharing with you all very soon! Keep an eye out for that post! I'll be making a conscious effort to keep you all updated on my journey this year to a much more healthier, fit and simple lifestyle! Stay tuned!!!

    My blog has a lot of eхclusive contеnt I've either written myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any techniques to help stop content from being ripped off? I'd сertainly apprecіatе it.
