Let’s Get Crackin’ on February’s Fitness Theme!

“I’m a Badass and I Know It”

Welcome to February, all you lovely peoples! Last month’s theme was “No More Jiggle in the Middle”. And while your jiggly parts may not be totally gone yet (emm, I know mine aren’t), I hope you trained hard to continue decimating those jigglies with cardio and firming it up real sexy with weight training.

Oh, good. Okay then.

Now moving on to February’s theme… “I’m a Bad Ass and I Know It”

This month’s theme was inspired by me wanting to quit in the middle of my last workout. It was hard. Really hard. I didn’t think I could finish. It was KILLER. But I’m not a quitter and stopping in the middle of a workout is totally unacceptable.

So in the middle of my 3rd round of push-ups, I started to say to myself out loud, “I’m a badass… I’m a badass… I’m a badsass…”

And yep, that affirmation gave me the steam I needed to stay strong and finish strong. Sometimes you just gotta remind yourself of who you really are.

I’m a badass. So are you.

And guess what, everybody. This is my birthday month. I’ll be 39-years-old on February 17th! 

Holler!

Anybody wanna send me a birthday card? I love getting happy-mail. Send me a birthday card, yo!

I’m seriously thinking about NOT having a traditional, high calorie birthday cake this year ((gasp!)). My recipe for So Delicious Low Cal Strawberry Shortcake was ohhh sooo tasty, and the Greedy Family really loved it, too. I’m wanting to cake-celebrate that way instead.

Okay, everybody. Let’s get it crackin’! Be the badass that you are all month long by putting in the work to get the body you want. I’ll be doing the same thing over here. You can bet on it.

Let’s Get Crackin’ on January’s Fitness Theme!

January 2012 is the month of…

No More Jiggle In the Middle

Live it. Breath it. Work your ass off and get it done. Say hello to your January anthem. Now repeat after me (and remind yourself every day this month):

“No more jiggle in the middle!” 

Ahhh. Don’t you love the way that sounds? You’re gonna LIKE the way no-more-jiggle looks on you, too.

So what’s it gonna take in this fresh, new month of January for you to begin (or continue) to reclaim your mid-section? I encourage you to create a very personal plan that is targeted, specific and precise to your own situation and goals. Because without targeted, specific and precise, you’re gonna be filled with randomness and wanderings all over the place that keep you going nowhere.

…or do you prefer to default to the slimming vest because you said to me, “No thank you, bitch”  in response to January’s theme:

You know you need change. You have goals. And now you’ve got work to do. I wanna know how you intend to stay steadfast on the road to No More Jiggle in the Middle every single day this month. Let’s hear it!
