Power, Hard work, Ambition, and Triumph = PHAT

THIS IS A QUICK LITTLE UPDATE! As I feel like I haven't blogged in forever... and have some great ones I'd love to share, I have three in the works, half saved, half worked on because I haven't had the time to dedicate to them. School break is a commin, so hopefully those will get finished! ONE even includes some progress pics with some VERY INTERESTING comparisons of how different muscle looks than fat. Yes I know I'm fitness minded and would automatically think that, but contrary to being labeled a "bodybuilder" my goal is not for everyone to be jacked LOL Yes we hear muscle weighs more than fat, muscle's more dense, takes up less space yada yada yada, but I've yet to meet very many women who are actually OK with believing this, myself believe it or not included sometimes. I know scientifically its correct, I've seen it with my own eyes, but when I see my scale heavier, that's when whether or not I find that truth charming comes into play. I'll never forget after my first show I went to a birthday party with my daughter the next day and the CLOWN decided I looked like the best target to pick up and put on his shoulders LOL I was lean and I guess looked the littlest, he kept joking about HOW MUCH HEAVIER I WAS THAN I LOOKED!!!! LOL Yes muscle weighs more than fat but takes up less space, size twos falling off, but still weighed more than most "size 2s".

Well that's why progress pics ARE SO CRUCIAL! I even surprised myself a bit with the difference. I mean nothing miraculous, but def proof of this muscle working in our favor GREATLY. I won't go into it too much yet as that's another blog.

SO what's going on... RANDOM BULLET POINTS

*CURRENTLY WRAPPING UP THE SEMESTER AT SCHOOL - another blog is actually about school too a little - but anyway wrapping up and these last two weeks I have been SLAMMED with school work. Which is really what has halted a lot of focus on much anything else, beside training clients/boot camp/the family...

* This Weekend I will be attending Jen Hendershot's PHAT CAMP - For anyone who doesn't know who Jenny H is she has always been a fitness favorite of mine!! She has retired from Competing, but while she was competing has won both of the biggest titles in fitness: The Fitness International and the Ms. Olympia competition.

Here's a sample of one of her kick ass routines!

I'm looking forward to the ENERGY you get at fitness weekends like this, the inspiration, and of course the workouts. Her site directs: "Friday night we will be training power arms and abs, Saturday we will train chest and Shoulders. Sunday we will be training back and legs. Please do whatever you feel is on your schedule; however it is highly advised you come rested and ready for camp."

*This is My final week of this Body Definition bootcamp - IT WAS COMPLETELY FULL AND SO VERY SUCCESSFUL and FUN! Today we took some more pics, as we did at the seminar back in March and will be compiling pics and everything to add to the website that is in the process of being finished. It will start off very basic as I need a portal to services and contacts, but will grow as time allows. My vision just as my old site is to cover a lot and inspire, as well as promote, but for now my visions can take time so I need a basic start and that is coming soon! I will say the results from this boot camp have been WONDERFUL! Can't wait to share more!
