Boat Racing and Fat Loss

 Cello My Friends!!

Today is a good day!

It’s actually hot outside. No overcast, no wind blowing, perfect sunny weather. That’s what I’m talking about. I’m going to enjoy today. There are a few events going on in San Francisco for the 4th of July but no event bigger then the America’s Cup Race. 

Keepin’ it 100% real I had never heard of the America's Cup but it looks like its pretty popular around the very wealthy.  Since I’m not wealthy… yet, I’m truly not interested in the race, but I am interested in all the festivities that come with the race. They have a few informational booths, along with a few cool looking boats on the Marina Green in San Francisco. I think I’m going to roll out to the Marina Green sometime today and snap a few pictures. I can share them with all of you, plus I’m curious about what kind of people plan on attending the actually race on the 4th of July.




A few of the teams landed in the water while practicing last month. These boats ain’t no joke, but the Bay is even a bigger gangster. It ripped a few million-dollar boats in half. This entire event would be a lot more interesting to me if I was into boat racing.


I think I would be into it if I were in a music video, laying in my bikini showin off my cakes, while someone famous like Two Chains was racing away from cops. Yep I might enjoy a little boat race there while looking flawless, but I don’t think that’s going to happen anytime soon.

Other then the boat race, the only other thing on my agenda, besides working, is the Marin Fair tonight. Its opening day, and you already know its going down!

Lets Talk About it

When I lost over 150 pounds, 5 years ago, a lot of things change. My entire body change, and my outlook on life changed. Not only was I finally healthy, but I felt mentally free. I was physically lighter, and spiritually more aware.

I have more then a few overweight family members, and friends that I constantly worry about. I mostly worry about heart attacks, because they can come out of no where, and there is nothing anyone but the doctors can do to help. I also worry about they physical and mental damage being overweight can have on your life and your body.

I found this great poster depicting what happens when you lose fat. It’s educational and inspiring. If you know anyone that is overweight, forward this blog posting to them. Everyone needs to know what he or she is doing to their body.

Living in today’s oversized world, you might know a few people that are overweight, or you might be overweight yourself. Taking care of your self if very important. It’s important for your friends, family and loved ones to keep you around as long as possible. Enjoy this detailed outline on the benefits of loosing fat. When you ready or when someone you know is ready, be that supportive person that they need.

I was the girl that was 350 pounds with plans to loose weight. I shared my goal with only 2 people, my boyfriend, at the time, and my sister. If both of them hadn’t had such overwhelmingly positive responses, I can’t guarantee that I would be the success story that I am.

Alrighty enough with the serious stuff

Today’s exercise is

The Crunchy Frog




Complete 25 reps

I like my abdominals FLAT! These do just that.

The Crunchy frog is a tough exercise but it is very effective at working your hip flexors, core, as well as your balance and coordination. It takes a little practice and strength development to complete the move smoothly.

If you find that your lower back is hurting you can place your hands on the floor behind you and just kick in and out with your legs. As your abdominals get stronger you will be able to add in arm movements.

Enjoy!!

Type to you soon
