LA and back and 5lbs down

Well kids, I've been to the moon and back.  Ok, just LA but you know might as well be...

Unfortunately a terrible cold got the best of me.

I've mainly been traveling by car these past few trips so totally forgot all the preventive steps I take before a flight.  Recirculated air is the worse especially when you are sitting next to a medical mask wearing mass of germs in coach, which I swear gets smaller and smaller.  What we peons must go through.  Sigh...

Anywho despite that damage control did continue but mainly more on calisthenics than on cardio since you know I could barely breathe once the cold won out.  Here's the play by play:

Day 1 and Night 1:  Healthy eating and a walk around the neighborhood


Day 2: 5 miles walk and a day at the beach


Day 3 and beyond:  Here is when the cold kicks my ass.  Look at me all bundled up!



Even so, still did my calisthenics!  I am in love with the yoag ball.  Great for core and my back.




On my last night, managed to go out and dance.  Sweated up a storm in this small enclosed space playing reggae, MJ, drum and base, and NYC style hip hop!  I swear I dropped 2lbs there alone!



An that's all folks.  Now more travel for work.  Let's hope damage control continues.  5lbs down in one week without much cardio is great!  Can we do it again?


2016 is our best body year.  #Oprah

Operation Damage Control Day 1

Operation Damage Control has gone well so far.  3 lbs down in over 24 hours.  Although I have this bad twilight zone feeling that I keep losing and gaining the same 15lbs and I am cursed to do so for the rest of my days.

Okay, dramatic much.

This s my bday week and while I have been having fun, I definitely feel at a crossroads.  And this journey is just part of that milestone that seems to never be reached.  All I can do is push through but it's an emotional rollercoaster.

Aw well...

My midnight ride...

Time for another reset

I wonder how often I will be saying that.  All my hard work thrown away because I was in like 5 cities in 7 days.  And while there, it was work, work, work and no working out!!! And forget watching what I was eating.  Totally just gave up after day 1 of that cycle.  So here we go again....



Shaking my head....

And after writing that, it happened again.  Hello Super Bowl and another whirlwind trip of three cities in three days!


 Obviously before the tragic events of that game :-(




I swear consistency is key and I am sorely lacking in this department.  No where near the goals I set for my LA trip coming up this weekend.  So now it is time to kick my butt in gear and see what's what and do DAMAGE control.  It's also my bday month and those who know me will know this will be a serious balancing act - not to mention the hours dedicated to building my business.  Sigh...

But it needs to be done.  Look at what I have done to myself!  Soooo not cute.  Granted, I'm sitting and no one has a cute body then but still... Ugh.





Back on the balanced lifestyle I know how to do in theory but in practice...

For example, I worked out yesterday but it was Mardi Gras and my bday so last minute decided on a girls' night out (haven't had one in a while and soooo refreshing)



Today is day 2 of butt kicking.  So far weights and 2 hours of biking cardio:



So I can work and work out, I created a makeshift desk :-)  Yea, multitasking!!!!


Wish me luck in this damage control cycle.  I will NEED IT!!!!!
