I am keeping my diet on my WOWY journal. I am not sure yet if people can see it publicly or not, or if I can see it just because I am logged in and it is my account. Maybe you all can tell me? http://www.milliondollarbody.com/diary/diary.htm
Anyhow, today was our first outdoor workout. We warmed up and then did two sets of 20 stepups, dips, pushups, and in/out crunches. We did 20 sungods, reverse and back with palm up and down. Adrian had today off, so he stopped by and gave us that little tweak to an older exercise and it was a cool little difference.
It is interesting how different bodies are challenged more on different exercises. For some, sungods are KILLER! Others, it's the side planks that get them... but when you workout together, you all push and pull one another to excellence and reaching the goal seems more attainable.
I've been coaching my buddy Mikey on how to eat properly as well as my sister and borther in law. It's great to be able to disseminate information and I anticipate seeing and hearing about the results daily.

First Week
Recovery: 1/2 protein shake
Breakfast: 1/2 protein shake
Snack: handful of almonds
Lunch: California rolls and clam chowder
Snack: Pretzels (planned)
Dinner: Nice meal at Jack's Villagio in La Jolla (Yup, that's why I'm eating like a bird today)
+++
So The first week is completed! I will sum up the workouts and next week try to keep a daily journal.
Monday AM
Sarah and Vicki attended
We did a power 30 mins. RR inspired warmups and weights.
Tuesday Night
Vicki, Sarah and Sandy attended
We did a night of Bas, but I called it out without the CD because the online CD wasn't playing. I got claps! Hooray! They liked it!!! I survived calling things out and doing the workout!
Wednesday (Break)
Thursday Night
Vicki and Sonia attended
BAS NIGHT! I warmed us up with stretches, kicks, steam engines, and sun gods (Vicki is a huge sun god fan! probably because she rocks at them!) then we did the 7 3 minute rounds! They did awesome! I understand what Rudy means when he says the class pushes him. I feel like I have to make it harder on myself because I know how hard it is on them. So, I did the sprawls and the sitouts. Woooweee! We cooled down...and I couldn't be prouder of how Vick and Sonia did.
Friday AM
Vicki and Sonia attended
NICE! They came back for more!
We took out "before" pictures, weight and measurements for the Million Dollar Body Challenge. http://www.milliondollarbody.com/signup/?username=virtuefit
I warmed everyone up with jumping side twists, "poor man's nordic track" (I always give Rudy props when I introduce something that is wholly his, so the ladies know it's stuff I learned from him), steam engines, and shadow boxng. We did fours sets of 10 flys, 20 dips, 30 seconds of superman swimming, cobras, 30 second planks, 30 second alternating planks. We stretched and cooled down... and Vicki asked for more sun gods! hahaha So yeah! She was pushing me! We did 20 each way front, overhead and sides.
I am feeling tight and great again!
I am sooooooo looking forward to next week. I feel proud of my Sony workout soldiers! :)

The Million Dollar Body Challenge
Another way I am trying to take what I gained to the 'next level' in my own fitness and as a coach, is working with my coach, and friend of five years, Joel Oliva. the company we affiliate with is BeachBody. They are the makers of P90x, Slim in Six, Yoga Booty Ballet, Turbo Jam, Hip Hop Abs etc... and they give out free prizes just for working out. He was the monthly winner for their contest, 'Million Dollar Body' May 2008 and they gave him $1,000.00 just for turning in his story and getting fit. All monthly winners are eligible to win the grand prize of $250,000.00 at the end of the year so right now, he's trying to get back into super top notch shape. Check out his video of what they made for him.

Following a little over one month after my 12 weeks of 'being warrior' with Rudy Reyes http://arleneparadise.blogspot.com/, I am proud to announce that I have survived the holidays and maintained my weight to the point where people are still telling me that I look good and are asking what I am doing! I don't know about you, but I would call that a success!
I have kept a sensible diet, yet allowed for some splurging, because Christmas and New Years come oh, but once a year. I kept working out, but not as regularly as when I was in the program, so now, I am ready to step it up!
Today marks the first day I led a workout for 3 of the ladies in my office. They were interested in what I was doing as they saw my results from the program I was in and I had suggested I show them what I learned and together get strong, and stronger!
Being that several people at work, in my family and various friends have been asking me for advice and help to get fit, and I want so much to keep fit and working out, I decided to take the plunge and become a BeachBody Coach. Now I can help people get fit and keep getting fitter myself! So, while the last blog chronicled me getting back into shape, this new blog will chronicle my experiences helping people and myself get lean, fit and strong!
Join me! If you are a reader of my blog, we can keep in touch and we can help keep each other accountable. I will be assigned as your 'coach' but we will work together! Here is my website, I will create a new one hopefully within the next few months www.beachbodycoach.com/virtufit. You can join for free, or for a fee (they give you online workouts and nutrition tips etc) or become a coach like me.
