My fitness is my armor against the world!!!!!

My fitness is my armor against the world !
I work out because I control me . My bodies strength is my comfort zone . I remember growing up and being bullied, and my way of dealing with it was to workout and be ready for anything:)

 I want to be fit enough to run if my life depends on it.  Agile enough to avoid if needed, and  strong enough to fight if I have to . I want to have the endurance to go the distance in this battle of life as if it is  do or die. It maybe a little crazy or even  far fetched but I pride myself in being fearless a ready for whatever the world throws at me physically and mentally . So if for no other reason to be fit why not that!
I want to be able to always stand up for and protect  me and mines in this day and age you never know. Why not be ready ! Train as your life depends on it ! Because in 1 way or another it might ! Not trying to freak you out but this is the shit the pushes me and motivates me everyday !

Your lack of activity and inadequate nutrition all effect your ability to get around and how well your body functions . High blood pressure, diabetes , not being able to walk a flight of steps or chase after your child.
Some of the greatest and most successful people use their fitness as a means to keep them focused and on point. Why not you ?
If you know someone who struggles with improving their fitness , send them this link. Just a different perspective , I don't care about you being skinny . I want you to be the best you and enjoy the life god gave you !
Motivational Monday Get after it !

There is no fitness fairy , no magic pill

There is no fitness fairy or magic pill. In the event that I find it, I will be sure to package the pills and capture the fairy. Find a way to sell you both and become a billionaire overnight . LOL until that time we all have to work hard and stop making excuses.

 The Crossfit Open! I thoroughly enjoyed my open experience. I am definitely better than last year. I felt stronger.  My mental toughness and tolerance have greatly improved. I definitely went places in my head that are dark, ugly and quite frankly down right demonic. You have to be out your mind to want to crossfit , so yes I am f'n crazy ...LOL

April training schedule very few days off

Secondly, Mayhem in the Meadowlands. That was my first team competition and it was awesome. I normally am not a fan of the team thing. I'm hate relying on people but there are definite benefits to team crossfitting. I hate squat cleans ;) Lady T and Jsax are amazing athletes and human beings. I would compete with these ladies again any day !

Lastly, I'm about 10 weeks out from my physique competition and I'm feeling good. The hardest part is just  fitting it all in. Working out whenever I have a free moment seems to be the formula. I train between 8-12 clients a day so it's hard but late night cardio has truly been part of the answer. It's whatever works. I have a progress picture below and I have not lost that much weight truthfully.It's about achieving the look I need to win. In this first 8 weeks I've only lost 8 lbs. It hasn't even been a pound a week . More like a pound 1 week and  no weight loss for two weeks then 3 pounds randomly .That's why I tell you it's not about the number on the scale. I'll post my diet in the next blog, because a lot of people have been asking me.
Also I will be posting a lot of good workouts in the next couple of months to get you last minute people ready for summer as quickly as possible:)

Progress-slow steady consistent.
