Work Out for Love

Would You Work Out for Love???

Would you or could you drop the LB's if your partner was less attracted to you due to weight gain? A lot of women and men struggle with this issue. I have a few friends who have gotten married over the last few years. Some of them have remain the same size since college. But some of my friends kinda got relaxed with their new spouses and their weight has ballooned outta control. Recently I got into a relationship that made me extra happy! I am so happy to the point of me wanting to lose weight! Don't get me wrong. My love has never said anything to me about my weight or my size. I think if he did, we would no longer be together. I feel that if you get into a relationship with a person and they don't accept you for who you are, SCREW THEM! They are undeserving of your love, time and affection. 

But, on the other hand, is it okay to gain tons of weight after being with a person for a long period of time. Women go on these crazy wedding diets to look beautiful on their BIG day! Only to get BIGGER 6 months after the wedding. That aint right ladies! What about the weight we gain after the babies come?!?!? How long should it take to get the baby weight off? Everyone's body is different. So what might take one woman 6 weeks to lose extra pounds, might take another woman 6 months! 

Men, the same thing goes for you! Your wife gets pregnant, and the next thing we see is your belly poking out of a shirt! So not cool dude... I think that women are more forgiving when it comes to baldness and belly's. But men can't shake the fact that women over the years gain extra weight due to a lot of things. So with this being said, If you have a partner who has gained a few pounds over the years and you see that they are not the same. They are lacking confidence and are feeling more and more uncomfortable about their weight gain, help them!  Here are a few tips to encourage them and not discourage them! 

5. Pack a lunch for your spouse that is healthy and cute. If you fix a nice healthy salad, give them a low calorie treat with an I LOVE YOU note attached. This shows your love that you care about their health and not their weight..

4. Suggest going out on the town to dance! One sure way to burn some calories is to get down on the good foot with the one you love!

 3.If you have children, simple activities like bike riding can get the whole family involved with exercise! Playing tag for 10 minutes can get the heart rate going! Even though I don't have  kids, I love taking my niece and nephew roller skating! FUN! FUN! FUN! 

2. Stop eating out all of the time! It's not healthy or cost efficient at all! Try new healthy recipes and cook together. In the midst of your cooking sneak a kiss or two here or there! 

1.After that meal, try a little dessert... On your partner!

 Dr. Weiders, Calories Burned by Sex Study shows that you can burn up to 900 calories during a night of hot steamy SEX! Hello! Tantric Sexual Healing also engages your partner, stretches the body and gets you in the mood to burn up those calories in the bed!  

There is no perfect body. We all have our insecurities and hang ups about our reflection in the mirror. I think that women bring more attention to themselves by being so insecure at times. I guess that's what we do. In the end, if you have a spouse, partner, boyfriend or girlfriend. Love them no matter what. Accept their perfect imperfections and encourage them to live a healthier and sexier life! Until next time, Eat Right and Keep it Tight!  

I Must Admit...

To thine own self be true Yolanda! 

Okay, I must admit it to myself and to those of you who follow me... My gym routine has been a little slack. I am not the one to make excuses, but it's not my fault!!! I started going to the gym with all intentions on working out to help boost my weight loss. But since my near death experience, I was kinda scared of the gym. So, I decided that I needed to get a trainer. I would need he or she show me what I need to do, in order to get me where I want to be. So I finally met up with my trainer at LA Fitness to see what he was talking about. He was a wonderful guy. We talked  and he asked me a few questions like, Why I wanted to lose weight? What foods do I like the most? You know, the things a trainer would ask on your first meet and greet. Then we went and started my work out. Not too bad! He was actually kind! Nothing crazy like the nazi's on television who you see make fat boys and girls puke all over the screen! No, he was encouraging and I like him! The work out was intense enough to have me sore for the next few days, so it worked! I liked him! After the work out, I went back to his desk to discuss the financial commitment of having a trainer. 

I already made up in my mind that I wanted to pay $150 a month to meet up with my trainer once or twice a week. I just need the essentials! Teach me how to use the equipment, show me how to work out my core, and instruct me on how to tone and tighten all over! In between our sessions I will work out myself and make it work for me! Well, after sitting me down, we started talking. I find out that my trainer isn't going to be my trainer. The man that I felt comfortable with for the past hour is a manager who basically is there to take my payment...  My trainer is actually a man who after meeting him for the first 5 seconds, I could tell he was trying to calculate how he was going to get me naked in the steam room after hours... #1 I hate men who think they are the shit. After flashing me his million dollar smile, I noticed he was holding a pink and purple heart iphone case. I look at the phone with a smirk on my face and say, "Cute phone case... I like the purple sparkle hearts..." Instantly I knew he was holding a chicks phone! There was no way in hell, that was this dudes phone! He quickly stated that it's his other clients phone. A woman then walks up to us with a sports bra and spandex on and says she needed her phone. She says this while looking at me up and down... Wooooow! This dude is a gym pimp! Oh no thanks! I am not subscribing to this! Can you just imagine me working out on all fours and this dude touching and grabbing some of my 2000 parts??? Yea, no thanks. I'm good! 

 And on top of me finding out that he was going to be my trainer, I was going to have to pay $190 to sign up plus $180 a month and on top of that I was going to have to sign a contract that tied me into this deal for 50 weeks!! Wooooooooooo Nelly!! This is way too much and I don't want to commit to that! This is not something I want to even consider. 

So I have been avoiding that gym all together.

I have been doing floor exercises at home but I really don't think it's doing what I want it to do! So I am soliciting help! LOL!

I got some wonderful recipes and tips for weight loss! KEEP IT COMING!  Also, if you are a trainer and you want to work with me, please e-mail me as well. I would love to feature you in my blog! Until next time FAT GUYS AND GURLS, eat right and keep it TIGHT!!!! Muah! 

The Work Out... Part 2

Okay, look... I acknowledge that in order to maintain a healthy life style, you must have some physical activity. I know this! But that still doesn't change the fact that I kinda hate working out and I am the laziest person when it comes to doing it. Neither here nor there, I decided that I was going to renew my gym membership at L.A. Fitness. Nice gym, but too many people. I swear! Only in Atlanta, Georgia will you find whores on a treadmill with full face, hair weave and  a pump it up bra with booty pads included... DAYUM! It's okay ladies if you need a little attention, but some of us really over do it! I just want go to the gym as I am and get fit!!!!! But I had to succumb to the fact that while you are in Rome, you must do what the Romans do! So, I too went to the gym with my titts all out with the tightest leggins that showed a slight camel toe along with the reddest lipstick ever to meet up with my trainer G for the first time! Look I had to put my best face forward! 
I had to reschedule my appointment to meet up with G 3 times! No it's not because I was avoiding the gym and my trainer. I had a lifestyle change. I quit my job at the spa and I had to hustle, hustle real hard to get my paper flowing back to me! One thing I DO NOT play with is my money and my time. So between me doing makeup for reality television celebs, and demanding makeup clients. My diet slacked off. When you are working non stop and never really get a break, you pick up the quickest meal you can find to help your hunger. This could be one of the reasons why I put on the pounds over the years. Not preparing my meals and going to the quickest drive thru...  So, yes I cancelled on G 3 times before I actually met him. When I introduced myself to him he busted out laughing! He knew me before he even laid eyes on me only because I kept calling, scheduling and rescheduling.  I quickly explained what happen and why I had to cancel on him so many times. He gave me a BITCH YEA RIGHT look and told me to sit down and have a talk. He asked about my goals and where I wanted to be by April (<------ This is when my future hubby gets back home!!) So after a long discussion, we started the WORK OUT... Oh Lord Jesus be with me... The warm up was intense, so I knew the work out was about to kick my ass!!!!

Beach Body Body Ball

OKAY! So let's talk about the BIG ASS BALL that almost killed me! You know what, I didn't sign up for this! I was done by the third routine. But something in the back of my head was saying, "Don't even think about giving up! PUSH BITCH PUSH! You can do this! Your ass is outta shape, get back into shape!" All of this was playing in my head while I kept it moving! Then we started doing some squats that contained a little heavy ball that has my whole upper body aching! What's up with the balls man?!? Balls are supposed to be fun to play with... 

These are the exact exercises he had me to do today. This was for my abs and lower body he stated. Well a few hours have gone by and I just tried walking DOWN the stairs in my house and I almost passed out! What in the hell?!? Even though today was a difficult day, I wont give up and I don't think you should either. Keep pushing, keep fighting, and if you happen to fall off the bandwagon... Run your chubby ass until you catch back up and hop back on it again! I hope you have a great workout week!
