Happy 2016!

Wanted to wish each and every one of you a wonderful and healthy 2016. So many wonderful things I have planned and pray to accomplish. Currently studying for my fitness nutrition certificate and working on getting a website up and going.

Upcoming Project

I have been away for a good long while. I may have good reason.
In October of 2014 I got married. In 2015 I became a NASM certified personal trainer. I got busy quickly, 2 months later I had the opportunity to join the fitness family of Delta Life Bootcamp.

I coach wonder ladies. Two classes in the morning before my full-time job.
I won't stop there. As 2016 arrives, I have be working on starting my own bootcamp and one on one personal training. Yes. Sometimes it gets a little crazy. But its my crazy life.

For those of you who do not know me. Let's get started.

I love fitness and health. I started playing with weights and interested in it when my dad actually had a small bench in his 1 bedroom house. I would play on it on weekends we visited. In high school I ran like a mad woman. I ran cross country and track and into college. High school was where I fell in love with the bar.  I loved it. The adrenaline was awesome. The woes of running 90 plus miles a week stopped the muscle growth and lord knows coach just could not have that happen.
In college I even recall my coach telling me my butt was getting to big. LOL. I loved to squat.

Fast forward, um...a few years. I was lucky enough to have my sister push me into getting certified. I continued to lift for years and trained others as I did my workout. Now I am ready to take 2016 by the dumbbells.

I am currently working on a small website, which should be up the 1st of the year.
I will continue to use this blog to assist the website and for clients to get to know me personally.
I will also post new meals, tips and videos as time comes.

New Recipes Added

Hello there little world. I have been on a ball with my wedding planning and getting more crazier by the minute. With more craziness I require more feeding. I have added a new page ( to the right ) that will include breakfast recipes.

Now for little updates.:
Sister (older) and I have both entered a 90 day challenge at our gym. So far not so bad. We have also signed up to do a 10 mile run. I really think she tricked me into it. A 10 k and 10 miler are two different things.
Mom is no longer working out at this point. That is a boo and a whoohoo. Boo because she was doing awesome and whoohoo cause I have more time for me. She went from not being able to do 1 sissy push up to being able to do 3 sets of 8 one hand elevated push ups. Why to go mom.
I will posting work outs I made for her later.

Make sure to check out the Breakfast page.

Happy Daddys Day

It has been said that it takes a man to step up to be a dad to someone else kids. To love them and raise them as their own. It has also been said that any man can be a father but a real man to be a dad.
I have been blessed to have two daddys.
My real dad and step-dad.
I have learned much from both awesome men. I have learned that life will not always give you what you want,that you must work hard and strive daily. You can always count on daddy to be there and when one was not I had another to turn to.
I love both my dads equally and both hold a very special place in my heart.
With that said:
HAPPY DADDYS DAY DADDYS: Ricardo Cantu and Ricardo Palacios. Thank you for always loving and putting up with me and the rest of my sibblings.
***Yes I know I know boh also have he same first name. What can I say mom didnt want to forget. ***

Age is truely only a number

I hear so many excuses about why someone is not working out. Why they haven't started or why they won't even attempt. Tisk Tisk to you.
Though some can be legit reasons: health problems, surgery recovery or your head fell off. Age should never be a reason. We tell our self and others that age is no more than a number. So why consider age when working out or living a healthier life.

Sweet little 80 plus young lady working out

Happy Memorial Day

Hoping everyone has a wonderful and safe weekend. Remember those that have lost their love ones for our freedom. I want to thank all military men and women those that fight and continue to fight for me and do not even know me. Thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart.
