Tomorrow is a rest day for me. However, if it is a nice day tomorrow I might go for a run.

Tonight I went to go and see 127hours. It was awesome! I really liked the creative cinematography, really well done. Good eye opener!
I will not post anything tomorrow.

Seeing a difference

My Lunch Yesterday Had the same thing for dinner
Well I did the workout yesterday in 10:04
16 Ring Dips with the Hard elastic
12 Kettlebell Swings 25lbs
8 Push press 65lbs
I am pleased!!

This morning I woke up took a shower and I took a picture of my stomach and compared it to a pic I took three weeks ago. I really see a huge improvement I actually have a four pack at the top half of my stomach and the vertical line that lines out the rectus abdominus is really showing. I would post pictures however, after having kids lets just say my stomach is not the same. Maybe in a couple of days I will post after I have had time to think if I want viewers seeing my stretched out stomach. But hey its part of life so I might as well. ITS REALLL........

I have cut out eating any refine carbohydrates such as pasta, rice, bread and crackers. Also, I have limited my treats to once a week and not caving. I have to go teach a class right now so when I return home I will post some pictures.

I can't do it is yet! Not ready to show my stretchy belly. One day!

Peace out!!

Feeling the Burn

My Lunch yesterday. Ground beef and homemade coleslaw!

Well, I woke up this morning in a rush. I didn't hear my alarm go off and I had a client at 7:30am. I got up at 7:28am ran downstairs, scrapped the wind shield of the car and zoomed away.

Last night was terrible as I was exhausted from yesterdays workout. My son went to bed at 10pm and my daughter at 12 at night. I was awaken to take the 12 shift to put my daughter to bed. I woke up at 1am with a massive migraine and stayed awake until 4:30am. So basically I am running on an hour and half of SLEEP!!! AHHHH!!!

THE SNOW DAY YESTERDAY 
Brrrrrrr.....

Started to shovel after workout and gave up




Crazy snow storm


My Workout today is going to the workout that I was going to do yesterday at the gym:
Three Rounds for time of:
Ring Dips 16
Kettlebell Swings 12
Push Press 8

After my workout I plan to work on my ring pull ups as I have been neglecting pull ups for a while.

I will post my time and the weight that I used later today with hopefully a video of me going through some pain. Until later! Be positive and workout hard!

BUTT BURNER!!



Well I had to cancel my classes at the gym due to the snow storm. So this is the workout I did today

5 Rounds 30sec on 10sec off
Skipping regular: 100,75,36 (I did a 20 min skipping workout yesterday so my calves are shot),85,50
5 Rounds 30 sec on and 10 sec off
skipping with legs jumping wide and together: 57,55,37,60,40
5 Rounds 30 seconds on and 10sec off
Skipping with high knees: 60,37 (calves gave out),.....stopped decided that burn means my muscles telling not to push them and harder. Didn't want to experience an Achilles injury.
Then...
I did the workout I posted on my gym site for my members to do at home:

Jumping switching Lunges 20
Push ups 15

Going Down into my push up


Extended up















And Rest!!




V-Ups (I did the full version on my sit bones) 10 reps
Three Rounds for time



These were tuff
Three Rounds 6:44. I was impressed with my time considering I am jacked up on some serious meds for a really bad flu.

Even Trainers need to do something to keep motivation at a High

The inside of my gym

The pull up rig

Squat Stands

Video will not post! I will try again later. I have to run kids just woke up! I will post this link for the video and upload it later.The fittest I have felt

I decided to post this video of me for self motivation that I can push myself beyond my limit. This video was in July 2010. Here I felt at my fittest. I am originally from a small sunny island in the Caribbean and I am having a hard time currently to keep my motivation high during the really cold winter here in New Brunswick. It has been -30 for about three days now. You literally can not go outside without any form on protection on your hands. Okay enough bitching about the winter!


For my workout today I plan to do the workout I designed for my gym members:

Three Rounds for time
Ring dips 16
K.B Swings 12
Push Press 8
I will post my results this afternoon.

My first Page

I really don't have time to be doing a blog. However, I am lacking in the motivation department after being sick with the flu for three weeks unable to do any intense exercise. So I decided even if one person checks my blog I would still feel accountable to do some exercise. Apparently you can't edit your profile for each individual blog. Which sucks!! I currently run a kids playgroup from my gym so I have to leave my profile as is.
My name is Cristina
I have two kids a 19month old and a 3 year old. I am Certified CrossFit Trainer, Certified Personal Trainer, Sports Conditioning Specialist and I have a College Diploma in Fitness and Health promotion. In other words I live and breath Fitness lol.

Today I just got some heavy duty medication for my flu due to the fact that I can't do some form of intense exercise and need this to be gone. I am "training" for  two  triathlons in the summer. I did one last year summer my time was 1:42:06 for a sprint triathlon. I am glad I finished as I am not a strong biker. This year I would like to beat that time.

It is Winter here in Sackville, NB Canada so I am doing CrossFit workouts for now. I do plan to bike indoors I just haven't set the bike on the track is yet! One more thing to do. The house is currently a disaster and my desire to clean is let just say it doesn't exist today. My workouts today is light:

20 rounds of skipping 1 min on 30 sec rest
My results I did 18 rounds:156,180,125,200,135,185,181,162,145,176,187,192,165,183,175,182, 28 (double unders), 42(double unders)


I would like to say thank you to Anna for inspiring to do a blog:http://fitasaflea.blogspot.com/
