Ms. Blueyes' Life

Hello and it's ALMOST JUNE!!! I can't believe how fast the time is really flying by!!! How are we all doing out there? How are we coping being "pent-up"/quarantined? What have you been able to accomplish since being at home that you wouldn't have been able to accomplish otherwise? Was it home projects? Reading? Working out? Cooking favorite meals or even trying new ones? Being engaged with your kids - EVEN DURING HOMESCHOOLING? LOL  ORRRRRR... has it been the mindset of being miserable? "I can't go anywhere?" "What am I supposed to do now!?" Eating has been uncontrollable...working out? What's that? Everyone on their devices? I've chosen the first set. Meal prepping, working out, spending quality time with my son, doing a puzzle with him, teaching him how to cook basic things.... reading together... snuggling more.... I've spent this past month revamping my thinking or shall I say mindset on this health journey. Once I ...

Hello!!! Yes, it's been a little bit since I've written - I've been working on getting myself together physically and mentally! I have decided to compete in a bikini competition - that won't be for at LEAST another 3-4 years! But for now - it's all about shredding the fat and gaining my lean muscle. I am praying that my skin will respond, so I don't have excess skin. I would hate to spend the money on skin removal and body lift, but if that's what needs to be done - so be it. In my 1st two weeks, I have worked out 4x a week, ate a specific meal plan - eating 5 small meals a day - and I lost.... 7 pounds and 8" already!!! I feel stronger, have more energy, more endurance...just down right healthier!!!  Below are the pics of my starting this process and then what was taken 2 weeks later. How are you doing on your journey??? Keep going, no matter how hard it gets... Comment on how I can encourage you or help you in your journey...

Welcome to the month of MAY !!! Can you believe it?  How are we holding up during the quarantine? Still keeping up with your nutrition and movement/exercise?? I started or shall I say re-started a nutrition/meal plan. I actually hired a coach. Her name is Melanie Martin, IFBB Pro. Yes, she is an International Federation BodyBuilder Pro!!! I've decided to work towards becoming a competitor in a bikini comp in about 3-4 years. Right now, it's losing body fat, while building the lean muscle. Then, developing that muscle to have more definition. Right now, I'm eating 5 small meals a day and working out 4x a week with my coach. The amazing thing is, that I started this new journey on Monday, May 4th and as of today, May 6th, I've already lost 2 pounds. Now I know that it is WAY to early for any real excitement in my weight/fat loss, but the fact that I'm being consistent with my eating and exercise is HUGE for me! I know that this will be a VERY LONG haul to get t...
