Glute-Ham Raise. Such an underrated workout.

Happy Tuesday!

Hey everyone, hope you’re all having an amazing week so far.

This morning I decided that I REALLY want to stay on track with my fitness. Not that I have been off my goal, but you know, binge here, eat there, drink this, skip that. But yesterday, I rethink everything, and tried to remember and remind myself what actually ARE my goals, and I wrote them down. I seriously recommend everyone with a little ‘fitness’ or ‘motivation’ crisis to do as well, write your goals, put some words on what you really want to achieve and it will be clearer. Whether it’s losing 5-10 lbs or be able to run a 5-10K, it will be easier to remind yourself, and by writing it you are assuming it. You do take a decision, stick to it.

Here it goes:

I want to tone up/lose 10lbs
I want to eat cleaner and leaner (and have a good relationship with food too)
I want to be able to do pull-ups (heh heh)
I want to be able to do push-ups NOT on knees

But most of all I don’t want to be bored and I want to feel fit, healthy, beautiful and sexy!
One of my actual short term goal is to try either Crossfit, which I’m looking for a location in Montreal and I also want to try Pole Fitness, which I am reaaaaally shy about! I am not going to lie, I am not as confident in my body that I would like and I think that this kind of class could help boost that self-esteem!

Am workout was:
Itty Bitty Bikini x3
Beach Ball Workout x3

Music was:

Beautiful People (feat. Benny Benassi) - Chris Brown
Move for me - Deadmau5 & Kaskade
I remember - Deadmau5 & Kaskade
Girls (who run the world) - Beyonce
9 to 5 -Dolly Parton (Butch le Butch Remix 2011 version) DWL FREE HERE
Home - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
Electric Chapel - Lady Gaga
Edge of Glory - Lady Gaga
Born this way - Lady Gaga
I wish - Skee-Lo (Because old school is always good!)
Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO

Total: 11 songs; 57:02min

Have a good day y’all! Mine will be one filled by eating many times, possibly a bike ride and a lot of studying!

Today's playlist <3

Thu, 26 May 2011 08:12:00 -0400

So Today I was able to go run into the most beautiful site of Montreal ~~(my opinion)~~. It’s one of the biggest park in the city and for those who never came here, it reminds me a lot of central park except that it’s a small mountain right in the middle of Montreal.

See

It’s a beautiful site to run/jog/hike and there’s so many path that you can never really get bored of it. Plus if you make your way all the way to the top, the view is simply breathtaking.

So it’s kind of a reward for all that hard work!

So today’s run was an hour long here’s what helps me get through it!

I like that - Static Revenger & Richard Vission ft Luciana
Hang On - Plumb
Give me everything (Tonight) - Pitbull Ft. Ne-Yo, Afrojack & Nayer
Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO ~~(How could I NOT! haha)~~
Pursuit Of Happiness - (Steve Aoki Dance Remix) - Kid Cudi
E.T - Katy Perry Ft. Kanye West
10 minutes - Inna
Amazing - Inna
Tracking Treasure Down (Robbie Rivera Vocal Mix) - Gabriel & Dresden feat. Molly
Rocketeer (Feat. Ryan Tedder) - Far East Movement
Someday - Black Eyed Peas
Rolling in the deep - Adele
Girls (who run the world) - Beyonce
I’ve got the magic in me - B.O.B

I know, I know some songs are older, but still those are all very good songs to workout/run to!

Hope you like it, see ya’ll soon!

Another useless entry about motivation. NOT.

Sun, 22 May 2011 20:56:00 -0400

“People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.” – Zig Ziglar

Motivation is one of the hardest thing to keep steady for a long time. It comes and go, whether the weather is depressing, that it’s crazy busy at work, home, school or that it’s ‘that time of the month’. We all tend to fall of that bandwagon of fitness and healthy eating. The problem that always remain is why, and how can I keep my ‘motivation level’ decent enough to not feel bad about myself. First thing first, you have to remember that feeling bad about yourself for a long time is not beneficial. Because you don’t want all of your effort to go to waste and have to start all over again in a week, a month or six. You’re allowed to be disappointed, but you have to take that frustration and turn it around to something good. Always remember all those days that you DID good, that you DID fight those urges to binge and that you DID exercise. Remember how you felt afterwards.

Our brain and body tend to forget about that real fast, that’s why I encourage you to write it down, it could be in a journal with your emotions and your food intake, or it could be one word in your calendar. It could be on a blackboard so that you can see it. That way, when you don’t feel strong enough to stick to your plan, you can look at those words, those notes, those feelings, and you might just feel the need to recreate them! Also, I find it easier when the workouts and the meals are planned. That way you can look forward and prime yourself to it. Visualization also helps a lot. Let’s say you want to work out first thing in the morning, visualize yourself running or walking. Try to pick and lay your outfits before too. And while you are thinking about all that, think about how great you feel when you are doing it. You’ll sure look forward for that workout!

Having a gym/workout buddy, or taking classes is also a great way to stay motivated. First of all because you know that when you don’t feel like it, people are counting on you, but also that people will be there to push you and help you through your sweat session. You will feel the need to be there. Plus, it’s a great way to bond and meet new people. Also, see it as a plus, you can make a whole new group of friends who actually share your interests for fitness. Having fit and healthy people around you helps a lot to stay on track.

Watching fitness shows or videos on YouTube also helps a lot!
I’m in love with the Tone it up girls! Those two trainers from California are so far the best thing that happened to me. They share tons of workouts, recipes and tips to stay on track. Plus the community (AKA Tone it up Team) is wonderful, everyone is so supportive. After all, we’re all going through the same things, just not at the same time!

Here’s a few of my favorite workouts, hope it’ll help you and maybe even motivate you to stay on track, or to come back on track!

Beach Ball workout - Abs & Tone the inner thighs

Sandcastle workout - To tone your legs, arms and core.

Bikini body bootcamp -Whole body workout

Fat blast Arm Routine - Tone arms and shoulder

Don’t forget, everyone is allowed to have one of those days where the motivation is not at his highest level, just remember that it’s going to be ok! Because in the end, it will be ok.

Hope you guys are all having a great weekend!

The beginning of a great journey, my journey!

Sun, 22 May 2011 09:54:13 -0400

So this is my first entry as a ”blogger” if I may. I always wanted to do a blog, but always felt like it was too overwhelming. I really want to do this and i’ll try to do my best to stay committed! I think that my biggest problem (read fear) is that I can’t seem to find ONE main theme. I always feel like if I decide to do a cooking/baking blog, I won’t be able to share all my fitness experiences, health tips & infos, my favs blogs or website, or even the music I love to work-out to. So as eclectic as it might sounds, this blog will be about what fascinates me :)

My second dilemma was to decide whether my entries would be in English or in French (since I’m from Montreal, Canada and my first language IS French) Well I simply decided to do do both! Because one way, English is more international and almost everyone can understand. But on the other hand, I felt like there’s not much food/fitness/health related blog written in French, so I’ll do my best to share my knowledge and interest with French people too.

Anyway, that’s a long enough intro!

Hope you’re all having a nice week-end, see ya’ll soon!
