Girls with Guns!!
So how many other women out there aren't afraid of weights and getting some guns? I just made my arms my profile picture, because I am starting to love them. My boss calls me a man, but I don't care. He said I am starting to look like his wife-her arms are awesome. I am getting there!!

Richard Simmons
So last night in my business class we were talking about Richard and how well he has branded himself and how he knew his target market. What an amazing man and they amazing thing he did for obese individuals who don't feel comfortable in the gym setting. He created a judgment free place where people love this man. I know…

Good or Bad Example
I am a nationally certified personal trainer. I go to the gym and workout at home a lot. So my children have come to know exercise. I know it is important to instill these things in your children. I know they need to know it is an important part of life. However, i don't want to go over board to where they become obsessed.…

blog name
I am stumped. I am starting a blog that is going to include diet tips, exercise tips and like an exercise of the week where I will show what it looks like and talk about what it targets. I will probably do competitions and give aways. So here is my problem. I want a cleaver name for the blog and I am stumped. I am a…

I have done it again
So I don't know if any of you have ever heard of negative addiction. I learned about it in my exercise psychology class. We were learning about positive and negative addictions and I realized-oh my gosh, I had a negative addiction. I was so obsessed. I lost 40 lbs in 2 months. So today was sooo stressful and I downed a few…

Mommy bootcamp
So I am thinking of starting a bootcamp of sorts for women. My husband says curves already does that. However, I will be pretty hard core. My friend says when I train her I scare her, because I get my trainer voice on. It is only because she likes to take breaks-haha. We have fun together at the gym. I would make it so…

Am I hungry?
So I am sitting here about to do some cleaning while my girls run a muck!! I look at the clock and it is about 2 hours until I go workout. I know eating dairy is not a good idea shortly before I workout. The only reason I want to eat is because I love this cereal. Now today I took a day off of logging because I am going…

RIP 60
Is anyone else doing this? We bought this system, as a trainer I am excited to have any extra equipment I can get my hands on to have at home. This one is great. So I am trying out the program. I did it once last week, since I already workout pretty intensely with a trainer myself Mon-Thurs. I decided to add a few more…

Boot Camp for Kids
http://www.bootcampwithjess.com/the-program/bootcamp-kids/ This is my program-yay. So excited to get it started, but as I write I just thought they may take this down thinking it is a promotion. It isn't, just excited for my first job!!

Steel Cut Oats-where have you been all my life?
I would always see this on people diet and one day asked my sister the dietician about them. She said she loves them and would never go back to regular oatmeal. I bought some and never made them. So while on my visit to her house she made some one morning and we flavored it with about a 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar for a…

Sad news
So last week my FIL passed. It has been hard for my husband and it seems hard for him to be happy right now, which is totally understandable. So what has been hard for me is his family lives in NY. We live in Utah. So we didn't have the money to fly us all out there. So my husband flew out. We probably saw him like once a…

Utah
Anyone here from Utah-even better yet go to Golds? Would love to get a partner so I can hold myself accountable for getting to the gym. I work out at home and want to increase my workouts so if anyone is up for this. I work out on the one on Van Winkle Exp.

Cleaning house
So here it is almost midnight and I am cleaning like a mad woman. I don't know why, but it is just happening and when I start to clean I can't make it stop. I am talking hands and knees cleaning the floor-after I mop-haha. I never log cleaning. I figure it is something I have to do every day so it is prob in the…

Bang for my buck
So I am starting to add more workouts to my day. I am so going to need to eat more. I am also breast feeding. Anyhow I want to know for those of you know nutrition and what is best. The trainer I work with swears by palio. One of my teachers swore by south beach. I don't really want to restrict myself to a certain "diet."…

Quinoa
I am accepting any recipes for quinoa or couscous. Anyone have any they want to share?

Are you getting the fuel your body needs?
I have been seeing too many times 100 cal packs, sandwich thins, these so called "diet" products. People these things are okay in moderation, but it almost seems like you are just eating to get calories in and forgetting what your body actually needs. Did you know if you are deficient in something most likely if you eat…

Palio Diet
Anyone do this and if you do could you discuss it with me. I would love to hear more about it.

Compliments
I went to the gym today. A rarity being that I do an hour at the boot camp I work at, but wanted to start getting more workouts in. So I see this girl I haven't seen in a while and man she looked great. A little jealous-yes, but also yay for her-awesome!! So I have started approaching total strangers at the gym. I see them…

Isometric Max
Anyone heard of this or can give me any info on it? Heard about it today from a fellow trainer and wanted to read up on it.

women-breast feeding and TOM
So I had a baby 7 months ago. I am still waiting for TOM to come back. It came back at 9 months with my second, my first was a whole different stressful story. So I never thought I would miss it, but it makes tracking my eating habits crazy. So I did great last week-however we come into this week and I am like a ravenous…

NSV?
I am racking my brain-what does NSV stand for please?

Getting cals in
So my teacher doesn't believe in logging calories, just eating the right way. So he was shocked to hear that I log so I get enough to eat for my needs. He said he has never had a problem getting enough. If I don't log when I am eating better I would eat and think I was good, but when I log it I would be too far under. So…

Women and Strength Training
Women, do you strength train and if you don't-why don't you? Please let me know, maybe I can change your mind on that opinion.

Excuses
After every pregnancy I have a hard time losing weight and I use breast feeding as my excuse. "Oh I lose weight so slow when I breast feed." No it is that I stuff junk in my mouth I shouldn't be. Don't we all have that one excuse we all use. Well here I am 7 months after my 3rd baby and down to my pre-preggo weight and…

Weighing In
So I have the problem of weighing myself everyday. It kind of keeps me in check. If I am staying and not going up it is good. I know weight can fluctuate and this is not the best thing I do, but I am addicted to the scale. Now I have some fat calipers which not many truly know how to use. So I have been trying to take them…

A rant for the big footed women out there
Jesh, I just spent an hour with my 3 ladies all 5 and under, one of them 6 months and hungry, in the rain-out trying to find shoes for exercise. I only did two different stores. When I talk about the big footed women-I am not talking size 11-you guys can still find shoes. I know, I some times just buy 11's, but not with…

Scale
I am harping all the time about the scale. It NEVER moves for me, especially when I am breast feeding-which I am doing now. So I keep calling myself the "fat" personal trainer. When I look at myself in the mirror and compare myself to all the other girls at the gym I am not much heavier than them. I bought a shirt right…

BMI
I am sorry. I keep reading about BMI. Do you know this is the worst indicator for weight in the world. I don't know who came up with it, but every body is different. I will give you an example. Lets pretend I am 5'7 and weight 250 lbs. I am overweight right? (I am not really talking about myself just giving an example) So…
