Today I was talking to my dad about ideas I had on some designs I would like to do. He’s in the fashion industry and is very talented at what he does. So I think me & my dad can really do something. And I also know someone I can show the designs to, and if someone likes my designs they’ll buy it and I can make some SERIOUS money. So I’m going to start drawing again. I have lots of ideas in my mind that I’m going to create in my drawings.

I always loved fashion design, I always had this dream of becoming this huge fashion designer, haha. I will say that I am artistically inclined <cough> and musically inclined. I remember being like 12 yrs old at my dad’s house going upstairs into his office to make clothes. He had material, the dummy, everything. I used to wrap it up and give it to my dad. How cute? But ever since I moved down to Florida and NEVER went to The Art Institute, I kinda put it aside. But now I’m inspired..

Anyway, I went to the gym and after came home and chilled for a little while. Me and my friend Jose took a ride to go visit my friend Jason who recently moved down from Sarasota to go to Johnson & Whales. That kid can COOK… Anyway, his dorm is cute, it’s small with ONE bathroom for 5 people, hell no, but whatever they’re guys, they can deal with it. Then after we went to get some dinner. I came home and I’m just about to finish this up and go to bed.

Have a great night!!!

Abs

Mon Ab workout from Men’s Magazine

I got up pretty early today, well my brother called me at 8 this morning being all paranoid about the hurricane.  He’s in Louisiana so it looks like he’s going to get something from this hurricane. And plus it’s his birthday today and he wanted to remind me..

So, I decided to get up and get ready for the gym. I text my friend Jose, told him to meet me there so we can workout. I took a little longer then expected so when I got to the gym he was already done.. HaHa..

I bought my extreme redline energy drink to get me going. I love my redline.. I got on the treadmill turned up the speed to 2.5 mph and the incline all the way up to 15 and warmed up for 5 mins.

After I warmed up I went upstairs and started doing my abs. I have this men’s fitness magazine from like a year ago and it has a different ab workout everyday of the week. It’s like my bible for abs, when I stopped doing it for a couple of months I noticed my obliques were not as toned like they were when I was doing those ab workouts. I take that magazine everywhere with me.

I started my abs with this lower ab machine they have at my gym. You can increase the weight by 10 lbs each plate. It’s amazing. I was afraid of it at first but I wanted to try it so bad. And when I did, I felt it the next morning.. I love that feeling..

Lower Ab Machine

3 sets 20 lbs 8 reps

It’s too much to explain every workout. So I will scan these workouts and add them to my blog.

Ab Crunch Machine

3 sets 15 lbs 25 reps

Back Extension on Medicine Ball

3 sets 20 reps

Did some cardio for 20 mins on the elliptical trainer.. High intensity of course..

Anyway, the rest of the day was relaxing. I stopped by the store and bought some food for breakfast. I love making breakfast. Jose came over I made myself a sausage, egg and cheese croissant toasted with butter.. Yummm.. Enjoyed all of it.. After we ate we stopped by my friends for a little while, left their house, rented 2 movies came home chilled and watched them both.

Now I’m going to get ready for bed…

Today I got up contemplating on whether or not I want to go to the gym.  After an hour or so after checking emails I decided to get off the couch and go to the gym.

I did an upper body workout since I haven’t been working out in 2 weeks, I wanted to get in as much as I can.

That’s my workout for today. Tomorrow is abs and cardio. Then I’m having fun on this holiday weekend….

I was getting my hair done today and was reading Self Magazine when I came across a workout “Tone Without Cardio”.. How awesome is that? I haven’t done any cardio consistently in over 4 months, so I already know that you don’t need cardio to tone up, but I’m always up to trying new workouts. It’s good for the body to switch up your workouts every 6 weeks or so just so your body doesn’t hit a plateau. When that happens your muscles stop responding/growing due to the fact you’re doing the same things, but not getting any results.

Now I’m not saying don’t do cardio for good. If you’re trying to lose 10 lbs or more id suggest doing some sort of cardio to get rid of the fat, after you reach your goal then it’s easy to maintain it with weights and minimal or no cardio at all. I personally like to do cardio for my overall health, so with that in mind don’t stop cardio all together.. Try this out and see what kind of results you get out of it.. I’ll let you know what I think..
