Experience CDMX: Part 1

September 13, 2018December 28, 201821 Comments

A few months ago, I wrote about taking a sibling trip to Mexico City for Labor Day Weekend. Unfortunately, only 2/3 siblings made it due to passport issues, but nonetheless, it was still an amazing experience for me and now I can’t wait to share it with you in this 2-part blog series. These blogs … Continue reading Experience CDMX: Part 1

In anticipation of what I call "5K Season," which is essentially the cooler months of the year & when organizations tend to pile on 5Ks in celebration of the holidays, I decided to put a little something together detailing my training & preparation for my first 5K in 2016, then how I quickly got hooked … Continue reading So You Wanna Run A 5K?

Lose My Breath

July 25, 2018July 24, 20181 Comment

So my Monday started off kinda strange. I woke up in the morning very tired. I hadn’t slept too much, but that wasn’t anything too unusual. I went to work and while sitting at my desk, doing absolutely nothing but paperwork, I became very aware of my breathing. It was shallow and I was having … Continue reading Lose My Breath

So yesterday, after a dehydration spell, I absentmindedly decided to chug some red Powerade. Absentmindedly because I completely forgot about this gastritis issue I have, especially because my change in diet had pretty much kept it at bay. One of my triggers? Red dye. Which I gulped down like a freaking mad woman. Anyway, after having to go to bed in agonizing pain, today, I decided I was gonna find me an alternative fruit punch flavored drink to replenish myself. And I found one! This stuff is delicious & doesn’t have a lot of sugar, which is a plus! Found it at HEB & it tastes better than Pedialyte! I feel 1000% better than I did yesterday! 🤗 Anyway, just thought I’d share! I hadn’t shared a product with y’all in awhile! 👋🏼 #drinkrally #health #wellness #gastritis #gi #flareup #texas #myheb #noreddyes #healthy #weightloss #weightlossjourney #fattofit #fattofitjourney #healthyoptions #electrolytes #rehydrate #hydration #ajenuinejourney
#latepost Tuesday’s workout really kicked my butt. I guess I should start by saying this week has been rough on me. I’ve been feeling down, lots of headaches, little sleep & maximum stress. I decided I needed to really bust my ass at the gym to relieve some of the bad vibes that were clouding me. So, I decided a good arm day would definitely help me shake it off. After 45 minutes on machines working bis & tris, I got confident (thanks @blackmarketlabs Cuts pre-workout 🙃) and decided I had enough in me for more! I’m still a baby on the ropes, and my arms have a lot more growing to do, but I’d say it went well. Next, I did some make-shift pull-ups. Since I’m still well over 300 pounds, doing a pull up is still something way out of my comfort zone & possibilities at the moment. Being able to hold myself and pull myself up even like this is an accomplishment in itself. After all these, nearly 50 minutes into my workout, I decided to attempt jumping for the bars. Y’all, when I say I have a 2-inch vertical, I’m not joking! Jumping terrifies me. Seems silly, but I can’t even jump rope properly, if we’re being honest. Overall, I’d call this one of my most successful workouts. I’m pushing my limits, stepping out of my comfort zone & experiencing this incredible change in my body! I can’t wait to see what else my body has in store for me! 💪🏼💦 #bloodsweatandtears #armday #workout #health #fitness #wellness #stress #pushittothelimit #strength #itshappening #fattofit #fattofitjourney #weightloss #weightlossjourney #babysteps #comfortzone #trusttheprocess #rgvfitness #ajenuinejourney
“3 months from now, you will thank yourself.” 👏🏼 . . This is 3 months of progress. It’s not dramatic progress in the mirror or on the scale. It’s not magically dropping pant sizes or shredding inches off your body. It’s hard work. It’s literal blood, sweat and tears. It’s celebrating every victory, especially the small ones. It’s smiling at yourself in the mirror, being proud of the journey you’re on. It’s feeling more confident. It’s getting out of bed, grateful for your life, your health, and the ability to just do it. It’s tough, it’s not easy, but it sure is worth it. 💕 . #sundayfunday #sundayvibes #3monthtransformation #babysteps #trusttheprocess #progresspics #health #fitnessmotivation #fitness #motivation #weightlossjourney #weightloss #fattofit #fattofitjourney #wellness #healthylifestyle #confidence #itshappening #progress #itshappyhere #ajenuinejourney
One month ago, I started taking Protein for Her as a meal replacement & post-workout recovery drink. Besides its incredible taste, I have been reaping the benefits! Protein for Her is loaded with CLA, which boosts immunity, targets stubborn body fat, and promotes muscle growth & metabolic rates. It also has biotin, which is how I got these nails of mine to actually grow (not to mention they’re strong as hell now, too!) Biotin is a hair, skin & nails miracle! This protein is usually my breakfast & I couldn’t ask for a better, lighter way to start the day! If you’re looking for a new supplement to your diets or workouts, this is definitely the product for you! @allstarnutritionharlingen is stocked up with this & other @foxyfitsupplements products! Get your stacks & reap the rewards of doing your body some good! 💪🏼 #review #foxyfit #stacks #protein #proteinforher #health #fitness #wellness #rgvfitness #cla #biotin #hairskinnails #benefits #health #weightloss #weightlossjourney #fattofit #fattofitjourney #supplements #foxyfitsupplements #foxyfitvibes #ajenuinejourney
