<br />
With that, ANNOUNCEMENTS.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I was just hired to teach Zumba at BYU! Monday and Wednesday nights at 6 pm.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">and with THAT the sad news.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Because of this new amazing opportunity, I will be dropping my night classes at Beyond Sports Taekwondo, or my Lindon class.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I've been there since last June and all the people there have been AMAZING. Taralyn Sorenson is the most amazing/inspiring woman you'll meet. Working with her and her daughter Whitnee has been amazing. They've put up with my craziness and they've helped so much to keep me in business when my classes were an EPIC FAIL. They've given me advice and have motivated me when I'd have a hard time and when I needed help with ANYTHING, they've always helped me. </div><div style="text-align: center;">All the people that work or attend that taekwondo studio have been so amazing and i'm so grateful for the friendships I've made with all those there. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hopefully we'll have more parties there or we'll be able to bring it back later in the year or next year. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Beyond Sports has been my safe place.. MY corner to just be ME and to meet friends and people who have also inspired me to be better in every way. I love all of you and hope that you'll be able to join me at the PG Rec or anywhere else i get to teach cause it's all you that have made my experience there worth while.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Lets make this a great last month! Tuesday and Thursday nights at 8 pm.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Your first time is STILL free.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

That's so amazing to me! I got the most amazing feeling when I found the tab that let me read comments! Haha! How did I never see that!?</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">SOOO many blonde moments!</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">So I'm at work and have started watching the Bachelorette. I'm not gonna lie. Even tho I'll probably never admit it, I LOVE reality shows. Embarrassing! The Biggest Loser is what started me on this Reality show thing. I've been watching them since, and honestly I accredit a lot my my weight loss to the Biggest Loser. Why? Because I think it was total Motivation to never gain weight like that.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">My brother, Erik found this app called FatBooth hahah! It's the worst app ever. It's hilarious, but it totally woke me up to the reality of what I'd look like if I gave up on my health and fitness.</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FvNeK-E-qLc/TgomEpDrHwI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/PVfVkWWck9w/s1600/268272_10150227768539404_542859403_6778066_1020058_n+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FvNeK-E-qLc/TgomEpDrHwI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/PVfVkWWck9w/s400/268272_10150227768539404_542859403_6778066_1020058_n+%25281%2529.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="225" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">SICK!!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">This is the worst thing I've ever seen. I thought it was funny for a bit, but the more i see it, the more i wonder is, if i continued gaining weight after i got married, or if I didn't turn around in January and start eating better and working out, would this be what I would be heading to? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">GROSS!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">It's crazy to think that not only are we losing weight when we eat right and stuff, but when you count how much weight you COULD have gained? I was gradually gaining like 3 lbs a week... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">So that's like 26 weeks or something? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">26 x 3 lbs = 78... 78 potential lbs... so I'd be almost 200 lbs... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">I COULD have looked like this...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">So when you look at how great you look and how much you've lost in these last months, don't only count the numbers you've lost.. but add in the numbers of how much you COULD have gained with it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">Makes you feel even SKINNIER!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">Back to the Bachlelorette, Bentley's a douche, and She needs to get over him. She's surrounded by hotties and has no reason to be sad over Bentley cause she knew from day 1 he was there for the wrong reasons...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">anyway, I LOVE YOU ALL! </div><div><br />

If you don't, you'll find an excuse. - Jim Rohn</strong><br />
<br />
Awesome quote right? <br />
I like this because I was actually thinking about it today. So many of us complain and complain about things. Example- Our weight. <br />
Haha, as an instructor I see this a TON. There's nothing wrong with complaining, as long as you work to change it or work to gain it. Have you ever seen friends on facebook say somethin like<br />
"no matter what, I'll never lose this weight!"<br />
so what do we do? OFFER HELP! <br />
"I go walking every morning you should come!"<br />
when they respond "actually i don't wanna walk. i don't like excercise and i don't wanna limit myself with a diet."<br />
<br />
Uhhh, so don't whine if you're not willing to work for results! haha<br />
Congrats to all of you that want something, and find a way to obtain it! Lets all try a little harder to pick a goal and find every way to obtain it! Whether it's in your physical goals or school or anything! Mine this year is to train to run a half Marathon next year cause i STINK at running hahaha so I'm hoping to improve on that! <br />
What are your goals?ZumbAndreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08537199119542633569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698469985021842803.post-29843970515185706212011-06-08T12:07:00.000-07:002011-06-08T12:07:11.576-07:00It's all about attitude.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Today's topic is based on my experiences in this last week.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
I've been really frustrated for a while, and this doesn't have anything to do with dieting or exercise, but it affects it in a way I guess.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">This week, I had a realization. No matter how much you try and try, somethings you just never get the way you want.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: right;">My experience:</div><div style="text-align: right;">I've been having a hard time with someone i know. </div><div style="text-align: right;">Have you ever worked really hard to try and like someone or something so bad that you do all you can to be extra nice or extra considerate but they really don't care? Still, they complain that "You just don't like me huh?".</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Lesson about me.</div><div style="text-align: left;">I hate drama. Also, I can't stand a bad attitude.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I guess this is the first time I'm using my blog to complain, and I'm sorry. Its been a rough week. </div><div style="text-align: left;">You're probably still confused about what i'm saying or just wanting me to explain or tell the story.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Get to the point Andrea...</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;">So I met someone that I haven't liked since day one. Ask anyone- I've never felt like that toward anyone and I've always been a pretty open minded person.. but this time i don't know why it was different.</div><div style="text-align: left;">I told the husband i didn't approve of this someone. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">"Give them a chance, you're always so judgmental" </span> </div><div style="text-align: left;">which, no I really don't think i am.. :/ Let me know if you think i'm wrong too tho...</div><div style="text-align: right;">So i play nice. I invite them to everything. and i mean EVERYTHING.</div><div style="text-align: right;">no go.</div><div style="text-align: right;">I help them out when they're having a hard time once and for a minute i thought <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">"hey, maybe i WAS wrong about you."</span></div><div style="text-align: right;">The next time i see them, i try to talk like we did that one hard day.. and i'm wrong again.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">"just kidding. i knew it was too good to be true."</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I try again.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;">I invite you to more. you say next time or something.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">another excuse.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;">I throw you a party i really didn't have to plan or spend money on. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">No worries tho. i didn't expect you come anyway.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> I guess I really don't need to be as nice to you as i have been.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I was right about you since the beginning. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;">Readers, I'm not a bitter person. hahaha even tho that statement probably really made me look like i am. I love everyone or i wouldn't have tried so hard to befriend that person if i didnt.

</ol>Uh.. I think that's pretty much it...<br />
<br />
I just need new! It's about time to start new! I figure that the more often I start over on projects and other things around me I get double the motivation. I get double the energy and TRIPLE the drive to do it all. I need to start again.<br />
I was super frustrated these last couple weeks cause I've hit yet another Plateau on my journey to a rockin bod so <span style="font-size: large;">here's where I get in trouble.</span><br />
My problem is, when I'm frustrated with something, I either drop whatever I was doing and never look back, or, I obsess over it and almost make it an addiction. There's never been an in between for me. Never. <br />
So of course I don't want to give up now that I'm so close to my Rockin' Bod.<br />
Instead I train harder.<br />
Lift Heavier<br />
Sweat More <br />
and go so far as to pushing myself to do at LEAST 3-4 hours a DAY of working out just to FEEL SOMETHING. Just to feel like i worked out. To feel a burn. To feel SORE.<br />
After a week of working out like this i called my favorite trainer- DAD.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5sDLPAuQkl8/Te1Crnl293I/AAAAAAAAAJ4/PlJSoXyHFqk/s1600/9279-image_249_375_keep_aspect.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="168" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5sDLPAuQkl8/Te1Crnl293I/AAAAAAAAAJ4/PlJSoXyHFqk/s320/9279-image_249_375_keep_aspect.jpg" t8="true" width="320" /></a></div>He told me I was being dumb for doing all this to my body and explained that <span style="font-size: x-large;">I'm simply OverTraining. </span><br />
<br />
For all you who are feeling the same, <strong><span style="font-size: large;">here are the symptoms</span></strong> according to my Personal Training Study book of <span style="font-size: large;">Over Training.</span><br />
<br />
•<strong>Sudden drop in performance </strong><br />
<br />
<br />
•Insomnia <br />
<br />
•<strong>Headaches </strong><br />
<br />
•Decrease in training capacity / intensity <br />
<br />
<br />
•<strong>Moodiness and irritability </strong><br />
<br />
•Depression <br />
<br />
•Loss of enthusiasm for the sport <br />
<br />
<strong>•Decreased appetite </strong><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">•<strong>A compulsive need to exercise </strong></span><br />
<br />
So there you have it ma friends. It IS possible to overwork to the point of your body really just giving up so you don't go on anymore. I realized that my body needs a break, therefore my dad told me to not work out at all for at least Friday thru today, even tho I Kind of broke the rule and worked out today. But that's just what happens. <span style="font-size: large;">Results of Over Training are, a Hult in Performance, <strong>Fat Gain, </strong>and so many more NO ONE WANTS!</span><br />
If you think you're not getting the results you should be getting look at your routine, if you notice you're looking heavier the more you workout or your fat percentage has increased, step back and workout less. do a half time workout with twice or more the weight with half the sets/reps, or give it 3-5 days before your next workout.<br />
Give your body a break! <br />
<br />
Love you all!ZumbAndreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08537199119542633569noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698469985021842803.post-65675441931091222022011-05-18T08:14:00.000-07:002011-05-18T08:14:19.162-07:00Anti Crunch Abs!<div style="text-align: center;">Hey everyone! </div><div style="text-align: center;">It's me of course! </div><div style="text-align: center;">Today I'm gonna share a little bit of a secret with you. I follow my favorite personal trainer, Mat Grover, and on his website he shared this awesome chunk of information that I KNOW you will all love to hear.</div><div style="text-align: center;">He shared several myths about ab work, including one that stood out to me most-</div><br />
<span><strong> Q: "Does lots of abs work to preferentially burn off stomach fat?</strong></span><br />
<span>Spot reduction doesn’t work. You can’t just work the muscles of a certain area of your body and expect to have the fat in that region go away. Think about it: millions of gym goers do crunches but proportionately very few people perform total body workouts. So, with all of these crunches, we’d expect to see nothing but people with flat tummies and fat everywhere else on their body (arms, legs, etc.). But think of how many people you see at the gym in the “ab section” doing crunches and sit ups but still have more than a few inches to lose in their midsection. See what I mean- spot reduction doesn’t work!</span><br />
<br />
<b><span><span style="font-size: large;">WHAT?!</span></span></b><br />
<span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">So what you're telling me is that we are forever told that crunches and sit ups every day will give you flat abs? and it DOESNT? Crazy. Except that makes sense! </span></span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">You see, our goal in the weight loss and toning department isn't just to get a flat tummy. We want to look good all over right? Total body workouts are the way to go! So for all you spending hours each weak just on crunches- STOP! And lets talk about how to get your tummy flat by using the rest of your body to do so.</span></span></span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span>Below is one of my boot camp client’s favorite (and most hated) core workouts. It involves no crunches or sit-ups by using all pillar stabilization exercises. Once you master these killer moves and follow everything else I previously listed above, you will have a sweet pair of rock hard abs to show for it… I guarantee it!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span><strong>The 4 Point Core Workout- Tabata Style</strong></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span>This 20-minute total body core workout focuses entirely on pillar stabilization. The pillar collectively consists of your shoulders, hips, and core. It is your body’s powerhouse and is foundational to all movement.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span>For each exercise below you will alternate between 20 s of work and 10 s of rest. You will repeat this 30-second sequence eight times for four total minutes followed by a one minute rest and transition before moving on to the next exercise listed.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span>For maximum benefits, you must seek to maintain a tall, tight spinal position (remember kneel & reach) during all movements by actively pulling your navel to your spine, engaging your glutes, and maintaining a straight line from the heels through the shoulders. The following coaching cues work really well for our clients:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span>“Suck in your gut – tilt your belt buckle – be flat like a diving board.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span>Exercise#1- Plank Variation (static or dynamic)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span>Exercise#2- Left Side Plank Variation (static or dynamic)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span>Exercise#3- Right Side Plank Variation (static or dynamic)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Today's project was a website called <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Tumblr.</span></div><div style="text-align: right;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: right;">Not gonna lie,</div><div style="text-align: right;">it's a pretty sweet website. </div><div style="text-align: right;">It's kind of like a blog/ Twitter that's meant to inspire and to show off cool things you find throughout the day or things you just find as you're wandering other Tumblr accounts.</div><div style="text-align: right;">Everyone go check it out!</div><div style="text-align: right;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: right;">On a Zumba note, I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm getting devastated with how much my night class has dropped in attendance. I miss having the packed classes I did at the beginning of the year. </div><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Has everyone just given up on their resolutions?</span></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Do my people even like Zumba anymore?</span></div><div style="text-align: right;">I really miss my Zumba family i was building up.</div><div style="text-align: right;">Friends, come back. Zumba will never be the same without you.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Last Saturday we attended a Master Class with DEEJAY FRANCIS! Beto Perez's own DJ! It was so awesome! The energy was full and it was amazing to be surrounded by ZUMBA FANATICS!</div><div style="text-align: center;">WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES!</div><div style="text-align: center;">It was a blast! They had Jocie, Cecilia, Diosa and Karine teaching and they were all amazing! <br />
I imagine that's almost as awesome as the conventions except probably a MILLION times fuller and crazier! I'm beyond bummed i can't go to the convention this year, BUT NEXT YEAR FOR SURE! I'm already saving for it! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">As for INSANITY! Last week was awful! I was sick all week and could hardly work out cause my body was just shutting down the entire week. I still managed to work out as much as my body would let me so this is week 3! I've already done my second fit test today and I'm already seeing a LOT of progress, ESPECIALLY in my LOOKS! </div><div style="text-align: center;">check out this picture showing I actually have some definition in my arms! WHAT!?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l_NlDgww_8A/TcgqliSNAFI/AAAAAAAAAJE/-g3In6IYO-U/s1600/227031_10150592531565401_796975400_18030848_407479_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l_NlDgww_8A/TcgqliSNAFI/AAAAAAAAAJE/-g3In6IYO-U/s320/227031_10150592531565401_796975400_18030848_407479_n.jpg" width="226" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's coming along! I'm feeling so awesome about myself! I'm looking better than i ever have before and I'm so excited about that! I love being able to wear anything!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Last night, i had the urge to try on my wedding dress. It's a lace up back and we had to tie it all the way tight to fit me and it was STILL about 3 inches too big! BEST FEELING EVER! </div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm pretty bummed though that I couldn't look like this my wedding day, but being able to feel that dress be bigger than me, was the best feeling! I have almost accomplished all my fitness goals EXCEPT the midsection! I've measured and since my wedding my waist and tummy have gone down about 7 inches which is awesome! HOPEFULLY I'll have a flat tummy in time to bikini season. haha I've never been able to wear a bikini so just having the body to wear one would be KILLER. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Every swimsuit season has been really hard for me. last year was okay but I've never been able to not be embarrassed of how i look at the pool and I've always worn T-Shirts and board shorts over all my swim suits, but NOT THIS YEAR! I'm going to work this body right to wear whatever i want, and BE PROUD OF IT!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Almost there!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I love you all!

It's a quote by Olympic Track Runner and Creator of <span style="font-size: large;">INSANITY workout, Sean T.</span> He said something to the likeness of </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>"Stop looking for people you want to look like. You'll NEVER look like them because there's only one them and one you. You'll only look like the best you, NEVER like anyone else so don't aim to be someone else, be your best YOU"</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-y1nlEF1cJcI/TZSyNhHljrI/AAAAAAAAAIM/3WrUrdyEnGw/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-y1nlEF1cJcI/TZSyNhHljrI/AAAAAAAAAIM/3WrUrdyEnGw/s1600/images.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">DANG. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I think it rang true to me because I've become so obsessed with working out trying to reach this fitness goal of having a beach body by May 1st that I've lost sight of why I had this goal in the first place. I had the idea that if I work hard I'll have that hot Jillian Michaels body.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1kRMJmdyyKg/TZSxY9_LUWI/AAAAAAAAAII/u20HE0NFVts/s1600/Jillian-Michaels.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1kRMJmdyyKg/TZSxY9_LUWI/AAAAAAAAAII/u20HE0NFVts/s320/Jillian-Michaels.jpg" width="227" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">When in reality, that's a CRAZY GOAL. According to my genes and just the way my body is built, there's no way I'll look like her.</div><div style="text-align: center;">BUT, that's totally fine with me.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm not quitting my goal. I'm going to change my perspective and reset my path so i look like my best ME. The best Andrea Veenker I can be.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I challenge you all to do the same.</div><div style="text-align: center;">:)</div><div style="text-align: center;">Love you all.</div><div style="text-align: center;">(PS I'm saving to do Sean T's INSANITY work out!

What an amazing beginning of the year! I can't say that enough! It's simply been amazing! like i mentioned before, I started teaching at Champion Karate West and had an awesome first night and have had the cutest people come join me to dance and work out. It's been a party!<br />
We also added a Saturday morning class at CURVES and that was soooo fun! it was packed with fun ladies and a TON of energy! It was awesommmmme!!<br />
I just wanna say thanks to all the awesome people that come to my classes and that have been so dedicated and supportive! I also wanna say, I LOVE NEW STUDENTS and NEW FACES so don't be shy! Come on in!!<br />
It was so fun to see girls come from Timpanogos High School and Provo High to my classes! My heart was just so warm and I just had this overwhelming feeling of like... "YESSSSSS!!" I just wanted to jump and shout I was so excited!<br />
Keep coming! I love new friends!<br />
<br />
So, today's health topic comes from a sweet Youtube video from this awesome trainer, Alycia Kluegl. She's AWESOME.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eWHb2R7liOg/TVF3dpEuBxI/AAAAAAAAAG0/l2gr76EdxXE/s1600/5steps_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eWHb2R7liOg/TVF3dpEuBxI/AAAAAAAAAG0/l2gr76EdxXE/s200/5steps_01.jpg" width="116" /></a> In a video of hers i watched today, she talked about <span style="font-size: x-large;">Common Mistakes when trying to loose weight... <span style="font-size: small;">and in listening, I agree COMPLETELY. So many of my students when asking what they're doing wrong when starting to diet, all seem to do the following. There are 3 mistakes she mentions and I'll write em out for you here.</span></span><br />
<ol><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eWHb2R7liOg/TVF5PdmcxgI/AAAAAAAAAG4/pecOzngJrRg/s1600/31V1Gv-Bh6L._SL500_AA300_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eWHb2R7liOg/TVF5PdmcxgI/AAAAAAAAAG4/pecOzngJrRg/s200/31V1Gv-Bh6L._SL500_AA300_.jpg" width="200" /></a>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Believing in "Magic Pills". <span style="font-size: small;">Without hard work,<u> they simply don't work</u>.</span></span> They're made to assist, not replace a work out. So if you use a weight loss supplement, plan on still working hard to get it to assist you. :) I'm not going to lie, I've been using a metabolic booster and fat burning supplement that has actually helped a ton, but I only purchased it because needed that energy boost, and I knew it'd help because I work out about 15-20 hours per week. If you're way into working out or you already have a set routine and diet, I'd highly recommend it. It says it's made to "Increase Metabolism, Improve Mood, Metabolizes Fat, Cuts down Cravings." I will tell you though, for the first few days I took it, I was SUUUPER jittery because my body was getting used to it and stuff so if you have intense reactions to caffeinated supplements, they have a lower level of the same brand for you. </li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Severely restricting calories. <span style="font-size: small;">There are so many diets lately that are supper effective such as the HCG diet. But from what I've heard of friends and family that have actually TRIED that diet, is that the main reason it's so affective, is because you cut down calories to about 500-1000 per DAY.</span></span> Your muscles have about 3500 calories they need per day. Now when loosing weight, if you want to cut down cals, cut down to about 2500, or the LOWEST is 700 to loose like 2 lbs a day, but even then that's not very healthy. <span style="font-size: large;">Why isnt it effective? <span style="font-size: small;">Because your body goes into STARVATION MODE. So your metabolism shuts down. Your body tells your metabolism you're starving. It doesn't know you're just not eating, so thennnn, your body holds on to whatever fat comes in to store up to a MONTH worth of energy. The body completely stops burning fat, because it's storing whatever comes in to keep your body going in it's starvation mode. If you DO decide to cut down calories, Do it a little bit at a time so your body slows into the new diet rather than shocking it into starvation mode! Which leads me to the final mistake.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span>People do too much, too quick. <span style="font-size: small;">You need to let your body accomodate to your new diet and the new weight loss it'll be going through. Don't rush it! Weight loss is a journey. In today's society we want to look good NOW. Let it happen according to your body and your fitness level. You'll get there! It just takes Eating right, Working hard, and Knowing what you want to achieve to get there! BABY STEPS!</span></span></li>
</ol><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">You're all amazing! I hope that this helped you out a little bit! Check out more of Alycia's tips on Empoweyourbody.com and on Youtube!</span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Today is THANKSGIVING</span> and I just want to start off by saying this has been an amazing year! So much has happened, and for that I'm so grateful! I'm so grateful to have so many good friends and such an amazing family that has helped me through everything I've ever been through. I'm especially grateful to have the best husband in the world. Everyone says they have the greatest husband... but little do they know... I found him and I'm so happy to be with someone that's so fun and hilarious. There's never a dull moment with my family.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eWHb2R7liOg/TO6s-C3ducI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/nPMm8PnipCI/s1600/154116_10150329990790401_796975400_15390975_6247903_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eWHb2R7liOg/TO6s-C3ducI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/nPMm8PnipCI/s640/154116_10150329990790401_796975400_15390975_6247903_n.jpg" width="640" /> </a> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm so grateful to have such an amazing and eternal family.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Over these holiday's it's important to </span>watch what we're eating cause there are so many temptations and yummy things and treats surrounding at every corner. Pie, Candy Corn, Candied Yams, Candy, Cake, Pie, Candy, <span style="font-size: large;">CANDY,</span> <span style="font-size: x-large;">CANDY!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">So I found a website that gave us <span style="font-size: large;">a few<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Ways to Eat Healthy Over the Holidays.</span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here you go.</span></span></span></div><div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><h3 class="dynamic"><br />
</h3><span style="font-size: large;"><b><em>Exercise</em>.</b></span> Many people have extra time off during the holidays. If you’re one of them, use that time to develop an exercise routine, or bump up your usual one. This will help burn off the extra calories you’ll be consuming, and could even turn into a good habit that you can carry over into 2011.<br />
<b><em><span style="font-size: large;">Portion Size</span>.</em></b> Don’t feel you have to deny yourself Aunt Judy’s sinful casserole because you know it’s loaded with fat. Especially if it’s a dish you only get to enjoy once a year, go ahead and enjoy it . . . in moderation. Serve yourself small portions of everything and eat slowly so you can savor every bite. An alternative approach: use the three bite rule. Limit yourself to three bites of anything unhealthy. That’s usually enough to satisfy a craving so you can move on to something else.<br />

</ul></div><b><em><span style="font-size: large;">Don’t go to the party on an empty stomach</span>.</em></b> If you eat a healthy meal before heading out for a fun night, you’ll be less tempted to graze at the appetizer table. Fiber-rich foods will give you more staying power, and if you do fill up a plate at the party, try to include fruits and vegetables in the mix and use the three-bite rule for the bigger temptations.<br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Cook healthier for the holidays</b></span>.</em> If you have some control over the holiday meal, make a few simple changes to the recipes to make them healthier. Half-fat versions of things like sour cream and mayonnaise go unnoticed in dips and casseroles. Try grilling and steaming side dishes instead of frying, and cook with low-calorie spray oils instead of full fat versions. If you are contributing potluck style, bring a couple of dishes that you know you can enjoy, but won’t have to feel guilty about.<br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Just say no</b></span>.</em> Regardless of what your mother or Dear Abby may have told you, it’s okay to decline if you’re offered food when you’re not hungry. That plate of Christmas cookies on the table will serve just as nicely for the next guest. And when you are full, for goodness’ sake, stop eating, even if your plate isn’t empty. After all, that extra food isn’t doing anyone any good collecting around your waistline.<br />
<em><b><span style="font-size: large;">Center the celebration around something other than food</span></b>.</em> While you won’t be able to avoid every lavish family dinner, a get-together with friends could take place at an ice-skating rink, winter festival, or in your backyard in the form of a touch football game. Not only will everyone benefit from physical activity, but exercise also tends to curb the appetite, making it doubly good for you.<br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Start a new tradition</b></span>.</em> Lastly, take control of the holidays. If you are one of the adults in charge, it’s a great opportunity to set a good example for your (and others’) children by making family time healthier. Try doing a holiday craft with kids instead of baking tons of cookies. Replace the Christmas turkey and stuffing with a healthier dish (didn’t you all just have a big turkey dinner last month anyway?). Collect for a local food bank or involve the kids in a similar service project.<br />
There are so many ways to make the holidays special. Be creative and focus on creating joy and memories instead of feasts. After all, isn’t that what the holidays are all about?<br />

It was the most beautiful thing to be surrounded by friends and family and be sealed to Scott. I imagine that's how heaven will be. :)</div><div align="left">After the ceremony, we went to a super yummy luncheon at the Northampton House in American Fork. SUPER DELICIOUS. There, we were also joined by close friends and family that we've been friends with for a million years.</div><div align="left">We took a million pictures with our awesome photographers David Miller, and Alix Loosle, and took some sweet video footage with our video guy Justin Ahlman, and then was the reception. it was at the Alpine Arts Center and it was BEYOND a dream!

Thanks to facebook, many more than we planned for showed up, but we were totally excited to see so many friends! The cake was amazing and my dad and I did the coolest daddy daughter dance in the WORLD pretty much. we're pretty much the best dancers ever.
