Yup.....I'm with the band!

Welcome to my online journal of my journey from fat girl to phat girl :) I had the Lap Band surgery in 2007 and I'm closing in on my goal weight... this next year is critical in reaching this goal and moving past a lot of junk and poor habits.

I'm in love and it's not with a Man.... or a Woman! LOL! I'm in love with Beach Body and what it has helped me accomplish in the last three years. The Lap Band is not a gimmick and it isn't an unlockable Chasity Belt. It's HARD HARD work and what's made it possible for me to lose these 90+ lbs, however, slowly is Beach Body. Yoga Booty Ballet and Hip Hop Abs has given me back my girliness :)

I'll be as candid as I can without letting all my mystery :)

You'll follow me through intensive cardio training... back to basics lap bandisms, maybe an adjustment or two, the headache of what this loss does to the body (loose skin--- eww!), my support group for Lap Band and Bariatric patients both Pre and Post Op, and OH YES my 40th birthday! This won't be BORing!

Insanity Challenge

My Insanity Challenge
Starting March 15, 2010
March 12th is my three year Bandiversary! I had my Lap Band surgery three years ago and in these three years I’ve lost about 90 lbs! I’m excited about starting Insanity to further test and challenge my body and to tone and lose the last 25-30 lbs!
It so wasn’t my idea to make this as public as I am, but hey it keeps me accountable and if I have to look a little “exposed” to help or encourage someone who is now in a place I once was… Okay!


I’ve prepped for this experience by using Hip Hop Abs and I feel confident and ready to take on this challenge 110%!!! By this I make a vow to myself to do Insanity every day, ‘cept Sunday for the next 60 days! I will also follow the nutritional guidelines as close as I can. Being a Lap Band recipient, there are just some foods I don’t tolerate, but the manual is very helpful.
Here’s what I want to accomplish from this Challenge:
- Lose 25 lbs
- Get into a size 10
- Prepare Myself for the Three Day Walk for the Cure in San Diego
- Increase longevity
- Tone the best I can in my Core, Legs, Thigh and Arms
- Increase lean muscle & decrease my BMI
I’m working with my customer Pam and trying to be a good example to encourage her. We’ll be going to my High School track three days a week and she’ll walk while I Walk/Run.
What I’m doing for Pam, I would also like to do for you! As an Independent Beach Body Coach I would like to challenge you into challenging your body for it’s ultimate health. Transform your body and your mind by working out, losing weight and feeling good about yourself!
If you are close to Riverside County in California and would like to attend one our support groups Cardio Saturdays I would love you to join us!
