My FITness Routine

Today, let’s bring up a touchy subject for some, let’s talk about fat!
I’ve struggled with my weight my entire life.  As a child, I was (well, let’s say round), lol.  I got made fun of a lot at school and even at home! That’s really hard to deal with at first, but I had no support, all the way into adult-hood. I figured I was supposed to be chubby because all of my family was, or that I didn’t want to sacrifice food, so I didn’t! I ate what I wanted, however much I wanted (you get the picture).

I ended up weighing around 250 at 5″,5′ (very unhealthy, unhappy, all that)…
Last year, I started my last diet phase, and with the help of Hydroxycut, I lost almost 100 lbs fast.  I was happy, until people started telling me what I needed to change on MY own body.  I had lost the weight so fast, that my skin sagged…. It was not a pretty sight.  I had wished that I never even lost weight! I was disappointed in myself for having such unreal expectations.  So, in something like a depression,  I gained a lot of  it back. I was devastated!
Let’s fast forward to the present. For the past couple weeks, I’ve started working out again, but WITH OUT the diet pills! I refuse to be hurt by my self pedestal again (I’m not expecting 0% body fat), I’m working every day to limit myself on EVERYTHING, and I vow that I will love myself, no matter what others say or do. I know that if I really want satisfying results, I must work, work, work!

Simple 25 lb weight.  You can even use milk jugs with water/sand, depending on what you have around the house. 

I do crunches daily (number goes up every time), I use a 25 lb weight to help get me sweating and burning calories,  I turn up an upbeat song, and I release the beast! My WORKOUT only takes a few minutes out of my day, because I don’t travel to a costly gym, and I use creams, oils, serums to rub on my body fat, then wrap with a layer of plastic, then a belly band, than a corset, then another corset.

This is the wrapped technique I use to burn belly fat and back fat ! Don’t forget the oil first, then plastic, then wrap!

This makes sure that I’m doing the most work in a short time! Very efficient (and sweaty!).  This sounds like a lot of work, well, you’re right! And it’s not over yet! To make sure that I am not sweating in vain, I must eat right! I actually cut a whole meal, training my body to live off less food, and burn the fat that I have already.  It’s hard at first, (ESPECIALLY for those around you, when you get hangry (hungry+angry)), but stick with it, its worth it once you get those slow,  beautiful, results!
Oh, but Wait! We’re not done yet! You have to take care of your mind and spirit! How do we do that? MEDITATION!

In meditation, black candles help  repel negative energy!

After my workout, I ALWAYS grab a water bottle, and go cool down outside.  After I’ve recovered from my intense work out and drank my water, I take a quiet moment, just to be in my own space. This helps me to leave all stress and focus in the moment, also, letting my Spirit recharge! #Balance

  1. Hi Nikki,

    My name’s Kristen and I am a blogger/writer for Diet-to-Go. Each year, we put together a list of 100 inspirational bloggers in the weight loss/fitness/healthy living/healthy eating realm.

    The list is not something we take lightly. We put countless hours into finding the best bloggers so that we can direct our customers and readers to people who can truly motivate, inspire and help them in their own weight loss journeys.

    This year, we put together our list with a twist: We selected bloggers that were less well-known, but who deserve recognition for all they offer on their blogs.

    The reason I’m contacting you is to let you know that this year, we selected YOU for our list! Congratulations! We think your story, posts and dedication to healthy living and/or weight loss is something to look up to, admire and shout to the world.

    Please feel free to check out the list on your own here: http://diettogo.com/blog/top-100-inspirational-weight-loss-bloggers

    And, if you’d like to share the honor with others, feel free to embed your “Top 100 Weight Loss Blog” badge on your site.

    Here’s the embed code for the small badge:
