Toughen Up!!!

Toughen Up. That's what Jay always said to me when I started to whine. I'm in a vat of stress right now. I feel crappy. I am pissed off. But I can't crawl in a hole and die. It's time to adjust and press on. This too shall pass. Time to CRUSH IT in spite of all this BALONEY going on around me.

I will. That's all there is to it.

Break. Me. Off. A. Piece. Of. This.

Enjoy today's thought provoking post.

Preview of Things To Come:

 

Ok Kids. This is how YOU can help me HELP YOU. hehehe

Seriously- if you don't know, above we have pictures of the fabulous Ms. Jenny Lynn, and below that is the freaktastic Mr. Jay a.k.a. my former bada** personal trainer, now residing in Boca. Jay will be up here next month for his competition, and Jenny has just announced her retirement from competing in figure. 

I am working with both of these amazingly talented trainers to create some training products that will help the multitudes of guys and gals preparing for competition, and also those that just want to get in kick butt shape, beyond being "slim". 

So~ as I'm helping them work on their DVDs and eBOOKS, would love to hear your feedback; what would you like to see? If you are not financially able to work one-on-one with a personal trainer, what would you like to see in a DVD, or an eBOOK? What questions do you have, on diet, on training, on posing, on whatever....??

Let me know what you think. I see a huge opportunity here to provide education and guidance that is missing and that won't cost a fortune. The more feedback I can get from the blogosphere, the better we can tailor these products for the audience! Love that!

Leave your ideas in the comments!

Saturday!

Hey Kittens! This ~ is back when I first realized I wanted to be buff. Madonna just rocks. She can be so obnoxious and needs to get over herself but you gotta hand it to her. Kick butt business woman, kick butt buff chick, kick butt music. 

FINALLY vlogged today. Dear God, Kelly, get your groove on!

Enjoy the non-silence.

Aim High. Never Settle. 

When the Going Gets Tough....

The tough get tougher. This has been really a horrible week. You all don't hear much negativity from this chick but I have to tell you, this week has been one of the most stressful ones in years and years and years. I just was not physically and mentally ready to be back blogging/vlogging today kids. 

But I will tell you this. I will not allow disappointments and betrayal and the curve balls of life to get in my way. Life may get tough but I just GOT TOUGHER. Dammit. 

What's holding you back? What's your obstacle? Get over it. CRUSH IT. 

I love this song. Check it.

Be Back Tomorrow

 

Hey Kids. This is an OLD jpeg from ages ago but I love it~ this is when Taebo Advanced (UM VHS TAPES LOL) were FREAKING AWESOME. Anyway, I love Shellie Blanks in that girl crush kinda way. I love her haircut and she has the best abs. 

I cannot even describe what has transpired this week. A whole lotta craziness and then a family member in the hospital. I was supposed to be in NYC right now, and obviously I'm not. Life happens and when serious issues like that arise, everything stops. Wow. 

So- I will be back tomorrow. It's 9pm and I just got home= but I'm ok! So many of you had written and asked. Just been a really rough week and had to withdraw.

See you tomorrow.

:-)

I'll take two. Hehehe. Kids, You just need to bear with me. I can't describe all the stuff I'm dealing with this week, trying to finalize so many details......it's like I'm working 6 jobs. This is temporary, and I'll be back to normal soon I promise!!

Will you forgive KO? ;-)

I told Brady to stop talking about our vacation, but in this video, he just blabbers a bit. Can you blame him? 

No Looking Back.

I love this picture. I don't know why but it shows exactly how I FEEL after two plus years of a long long journey, starting with my divorce. What started off as the worst most painful chapter in my life is now becoming inspiring restoration. It's hard, very hard, along the way to trust that God knows what's going on, that everything happens for a reason. But it does. It's hard to wait. It's hard to endure, but it is worth it. 

When you have to let go of hurt and the people that have hurt you, and forgive, that can be daunting for lack of a better term, but it's such a huge overwhelming breath of fresh air, it's like new LIFE is upon you, is in you. That's how I'm feeling. I'm feeling that right now, I am at the beginning of the most significant chapters in my life. It hasn't been easy getting here, and no doubt there will continue to be struggles. I embrace them now. For I know that all struggles, let-downs, disappointments, you name it- it all produces something greater in the end if you allow it. 

I am in awe every day of what God is bringing together in my life. I am grateful beyond words. And I promise to live each day with humility, gratitude, kindness, forgiveness and grace to the best of my ability. 

And to that end, there is No Looking Back. This song is so perfect.

Saturday

Hey Kids. Sorry for no vlog action tonight. I've been babysitting a rather sick 3-year old for the past 24 hours or so....and y'all know that just this week I was sick. So I've been like sterilizing the universe around me LOL; washing all the sheets, cleaning up all the door knobs, etc. 

And then later this evening after I returned said child to her mommy, I'm like, "Oh NO YOU DIN'T!!" and I was worried my cold was coming back. So I came home, took a hot bubble bath (always does wonders) and now I'm chillaxin, taking it EASY and going to bed EARLY. 

Do you know what I'm watching? Gone With The Wind. OMG memories. My sister and I were obsessed with this movie when we were little. I literally- I kid you not, I know all the lines to this movie. I had Scarlett O'Hara PAPER DOLLS. 

I think I'm going to bring back the phrase, "FIDDLE DEE DEE". Yea. I'm all over that.

Y'all have a nice evening. I'll be back at with some lovely P90X Yoga time with Hawt Stuff Tony Horton tomorrow. Big week next week. Wow. Big week. Stay tuned.

Kisses!! ;-)

This is so annoying.

For those of you familiar with Cathe's workouts, you know about "Fire Walkers" above. OUCH. But soooo good for the bootay. This DVD has done wonders for my bootay I tell you. One of the few oldies I always keep around. 

Today was the first day back after being bleeechhh sick for what 3 days?? GRRRRR. People, Zicam is a wonder drug. Don't be stupid like me and wait. I was taking Vitamin C and "resting" and drinking about 200 cans of diet 7UP. Wasn't happening. The day I started taking Zicam; by that night I could tell I was better. 

So with all that I did not feel like I had the energy for Insanity today. So I did my favorite old Kettlebell workout and then most of Cathe's Butts N Guts. Sweet. 

Gotta run, I'm babysitting tonight. Crazy vlog below. Also, you guys, this may shock you, but I get my hair done, highlighted. Yea. Never colored my hair in my life until about a year ago- and Cameron had been begging me to do something. Well once she started, I liked it. Now I find myself torn between two lovers~ my old solid dark hair and the new sassy brassy blondie cupcake look. What's your vote? Leave it in the comments. Don't be scared!! I need votes!! 

Pictures will go separately. I am having major issues today with this website. #&%(*&%#P&@%
