Category Archives: Misc My husband and I leave for Seattle tomorrow morning. We have never been there so we’re very excited to see this amazing city. We’re staying at the “Hyatt at Olive 8″ which is right in downtown so we’ll be close to many things to do. When we travel to big cities we love to… I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Yesterday I went out to lunch with my sons and spent part of the afternoon with them. I also visited my sister which was great since I never get to see her enough. It was nice to have a relaxed girl talk. Today I ended up working on… Hi ya’ll! I hope you had a great weekend and most of all, I hope you have an even better time this week! We only work 4 days after all so what’s not GREAT about that? I’m really looking forward to grilling some burgers for 4th of July! My weekend was kind of fast but… 
Sad about the pizza crust.
Thank you so so much!!!!!<3 You are amazing I love following your workouts as well!! Hey all! I don’t have much time to write tonight but I do want to do a quick post about something that I worked on this weekend. I finally gave my blog a much needed facelift! I’m very proud of myself that I managed to do this all on my own without having to pay…
This looks amazing!!!!!!!!! Congrats on the new look!!
The new look is fantastic! Good work, Ana!
Looks great!
Very professional and “fresh”! LOVE IT! Yesterday I was going to blog about an awesome skinny brownies recipe I worked on but that was a total bust! The brownies were just O.K. but not something I’m proud of …. since I don’t want to recommend things I don’t really enjoy, I decided not to share it. So the search for a…
I love that you have balance, Ana. You’re human and real and honest. You have your priorities in order. AND, you have a physique to kill for? Pfffft…if competing isn’t fun, then why do it? I will always support you in whatever you decide to do, as long as you are happy! xoxo
Love, love, love everything on here. Competing is so hard, I too think I want to do it again but then I think about all of the above too. I just know some things are more important than competing at this moment. Thanks for putting things into perspective:-) oh & keep those recipes coming…lol.
hi Ana, you’ve been there, done that, won it, why do it again and again and again? put your energies into your hubby and new wedded bliss life!!!! you have an awesome body – you dont need to push it to the limits. i remember your food coach was Erik, i was with him for a short while too. did you seriously do no cardio at all? (apart from getting cardio from the weight lifting). what % of bodyfat did you lose? im asking you this coz i hate cardio coz of my bad back/pelvis and am wondering whether to persevere with just weights and nutrition to lean down. thanks ana xx
If it isn’t fun, don’t do it
Thanks so much Brooke! I really appreciate your support. I think that whatever we do it must be enjoyed! The beauty of getting older is that we don’t put up with BS very easily lol! Luv ya!
I agree with Kristina… Competing it’s definitely very hard to balance specially when you have a family. If it’s your passion then yeah, go for it. I love setting goals and achieving them but we also must be realistic and know when to go forward and when to step back for a little bit. Heck, these days ladies compete in their 50′s so we have some time if we decide to do it again. P.S. We should do lunch one of these days!
Hi Amanda!!! Thanks for your comment! I’m definitely enjoying the married life and I really want to enjoy the moment. We should learn to be just still for a while without having to look for the next shinny star. I forgot you were with Erik! You’re right! yes, I literally didn’t do any cardio except the last week right before the show. I only did two cardio sessions and that’s it! I HATE cardio too and I’m glad my body responded well. I was very compliant with my diet though and didn’t leave any room for errors. It’s definitely doable to get lean without cardio for most women but your diet must be on track. I have no idea what bodyfat I lost. I never measured it. But I did lose about 18 lbs stating March to my show date – mid July. It’s very doable Amanda!!
Hey Tanya! Thanks for stopping by! I think I’m going to settle for not so healthy brownies LOL! Are you up to it?
I am always up for brownies!
I would not suffer anyone to endure the path I walk. My road must always be traveled alone. Flights to kuala lumpur, Cheap Air Tickets to kuala lumpur |
