There are no I can'ts, Only I currently Struggle with......... This is a saying from P90X a workout routine that will whoop the shit out of you and get you in shape. I use to do it everyday but have been so lazy besides the past week. So today I decided to introduce this workout to my wrestlers. We did the Plyometrics training and it was great. Granted Im tired and sore now but while Iwas doing it I felt great. I am going to do the 90 days again and hopefully be in the best shape of my life. By the way if the kids struggled with it, you know its intense cause my kids are conditioned to the max. Hopefully I will have another good week and frop some more pound. Keep your Eye on the Prize!

Hi everyone, it's Tina, i've been thinking alot about the role i have set for my daughter when it comes to healthy living and image and it's not a great one, i didn't realize that all the crap i was eating,my daughter was eating.... i guess u just forget that.. My daughter Alexis is 6 years old and she weighs 62 lbs, she's not fat ahe's chubby, and i can remember times eddie would yell at me for that , tell me she was getting heavy... and I used the excuse...yes the EXCUSE, it's just baby fat, well i realize now it's not. You know the funny thing Alexis loves vegetables and salads and fruits but it was just always easier for me to grab a happy meal from mcdonalds or order a pizza....i didn't make the time to do what was best for her and for myself, i took the easy way... I refuse to make my daughter fat, she is to young to cook for her self and decide what's right for her , i have to take care of her so i have to do whats best for her. I just signed her up for karate.. it's 45 minute classes 5 days a week so it gets her up and moving, and fast food is no longer an option, i make time to cook dinner..  my point is this ....your children look up to you, show them the right way,  think about it ....As much as we love the biggest loser show do you really want your kids on  it ??

Hi everyone!! well my weight is down to 252, i'm happy :) i set a goal of 3lbs for this week, and i'  going to try to consume more water. I will continue my exercise routine and maybe try to bump it up a bit, i'm hoping in the next few months i'll be able to go running with my brother....we'll see :)

Hi guys!! man am i nervous about tomorrow... i have been working my butt off and eating right (staying under 1800 calories) and i even did an extra hour of ultimate boot camp tonight , just finished it actually! I hope i lost some weight, i'll be pretty disappointed if i didn't so pray for me! i'll be entering in my weight around 8pm  so be sure to check in on me!! best of luck to all and keep on keeping on!

Well I checked the weight today........5lbs off already... Im excited! What a great week for me. This was after some intense wrestling, which I am extreamly sore from. I cant wait to see how Tina did,I know shes losing cause she whoopin my butt with all the exercise shes doing. Keep your eye on the prize!

What’s up all! Well I said id be starting today and I did. Boy did it suck; the only thing I really did was competing in wrestling practice and then went for a run.  After a mile I was shot! I was thinking to myself, what the hell?!!, last year I could run 15 miles no problem and now I’m struggling to do one. I said forget this and decided to push another one out. I made myself act and feel differently then I did. This is what I always tell the kids I coach. When you’re tired you need to act differently then you feel and tiredness would go away. I ended up doing three total, which I feel good about, but really want to push myself a bit more. Tomorrow is another day! Keep your eye on the prize!

Hi it's Tina again, I just wanted to tell you all about my little- brother, He is a role model to me, If you need inspiration he is the person to turn to...he accomplishes everything he sets his mind to, i don't believe he knows what the word failure is. For the past few years he has been bugging me to lose weight and i guess i was never ready till now, and if i want to have anyone by  side it's him. He use to be a fitness NUTCASE, i'm sure he still is but he's just let the grown up world get in his way, you know working and all the things we put before ourselves.. You see my brother sets his mind to something and he goes for it and he doesnt stop  untill he succeeds, ask him about his journey across the united states..... on his bicycle....or about all the marathons he use to compete in.....he knows exactly how be fit and how to succeed , i know he can lose his 30lbs he's gained and i know he can help me, and probably all of u, after all this is what he is going to college for....

I have been taking half hour cardio classes at my local gym along with one hour weight an toning classes. When I cant make it to the gym I usually take my dog for a one mile walk, atleast this way i'm still fitting the excersize  into my busy scedule. As far as my diet goes, i'm trying to keep my calorie intake under 1200 which is going well so far, i will update you on my weight saturday.

Hi  everyone, it's Tina, just wanted to fill you all in on how i'm doing .... well lets put it this way....OUCH! i am so sore, my body is acheing in every place possible, i cant stand with out feeling it i cant sit with out feeling it, i'm just sore sore sore! I did 55 minutes of billy blanks ultimate bootcamp video and man it was a killer, the best workout i ever had, but it was very tuff! The trainer at my gym says if i'm not sore after a workout, then i didnt give it my all. but anyway i'll be getting back on the scale on saturday morning, so pray that  this is working!! best luck to all!

     I can remember a time when I use to pester my sister to work out and lose weight. That same time I was a fitness nut. I loved to work out; it was a passion of mine. I always felt my sister was ready to battle her weight but she never was, but she is now. It’s funny because now the roles are reversed; she’s pestering me to lose weight. I have fell into this fitness slump and am disgusted with how I feel and the way I look. Just a year ago I rode a bike across the entire United States, 3,220 miles in 37 days, and competed and finished in the New Jersey Marathon. Where is that person?! I have no drive in fitness what so ever right now. I am currently a wrestling coach at my home town and preach to my kids how they need to eat right and exercise daily to meet the demands of the sport. (This is while I’m eating an entire pizza, and drinking down gallons of high sugared drinks destroying my body, when they are not around.  I ask myself what kind of role model am I. I don't only need to get back in shape for me but the people who look up to me and the people who love me. I am ready for this challenge; I don't want to be another overweight statistic! Tomorrow I start my journey on being the biggest loser.......Wish me luck!

Eliptical machine: 30 to 45 minutes 5x a week

Circuit machines,  such as... Abductor, adductor ,leg press, leg curl  3 sets of 12 minimum of 3X a week

Strength training, such as free weights 15-20 minutes minimum of 3x per week

 What I plan to do AT home INSTEAD OF WATCHING TV, is do a workout video or go for a walk.

Well day one is officially complete..SO far so good, I did not make it to the gym today however i did do my tai bo tape for 30 minutes, which is a great workout. i stayed within my limits of calories, so i'm ready to take on day two. I spoke to Eddie today and he had wrestling practice today so he got plenty of excersise! Jackie, a coworker and friend of mine has decided to be on our team, so we'll keep you posted on how she's doing as well...take care and as they say on the biggest loser "Keep on keeping on"

Well Hello everyone.. Man am I so worried about failing this weight loss adventure again.. Yes i say again because i feel like i have tried so many diets and i've continued to fail.. but not this time... I recieved all my biggest loser books today, the calorie counter, the cookbook, and the weight loss book, I cleaned out my fridge and my cabinets... got rid of all the junk, of course i had to go shopping again cause i was pretty much left with nothing, but it's ok.. i'm starting fresh. i got on the scale today :( i was not a happy person weighed in at 260.....man does that suck...exspecially since i'm only 5'2, I also joined a local gym, will see how that goes. I plan to weigh myself once a week so i'll keep everyone posted. I'm doing this lifestyle change with my younger brother, he' not over weight now but he used to be so he is going to help me along the way..... well good luck to all and please lets help eachother out!!
