Thigh Talk …Again!

This picture is totally deceiving! Lol, these thighs are coming down, I swear it, it’s true! My pants are fitting differently however I felt no need to pose in them to prove this point lol … Great workout today, hit the gym 3 times, started with a 7mile run this morning & ended with a 6mile run post PM workout 💪💪💪 (shout out to the Knicks & Celtics game that kept me entertained on that dreaded treadmill!) …I’m well on track to dropping another 3lbs by Saturday! #iWill 🙏 I mean, clearly I’m taking these goals seriously, just not myself seriously 😜 …hit you guys tomorrow, it’s way passed my bedtime! Good night lovers – Lita xox 💜 #TaroLegs #MissionLeanOut #CardioCity #Thighs #Legs #SamoanThoroughbred lol #PrayForMe lol

Muscle > Heavier Than Fat

Muscle > HEAVIER THAN FAT! So don’t be too discouraged when you’ve busted your behind all week, putting in that extra work, increased your load, fought hard for the few extra reps, dieted intensely, added sparring to your routine and ran a total of 12miles per day only for the damn scale to tell you that you gained weight!!!!!! …dang, smh, please excuse this rant, for those that know me, y’all know I have clearly just uploaded this post of myself to myself, haha. 😂

I gained 4lbs guys, smh, this definitely was a surprise when I weighed in this morning …BUT I’m still wearing my smile!!! ☺

Gotto stay focused … #KeepPushing …”FALL 7 TIMES, STAND UP 8!” #NoQuitInMe 💪

Beautiful Brawn

“You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have…” – Relate?? …

It is my belief that all women have an irrefutable strength that is engrained in the very fabric of who we are. I’ve always said, pound for pound, women exceed the strength of men …😉

In order for us women to build strong bodies we must first ignite our inner strengths (mind/body), therefore, there must be strength before there is strong. If you can trigger your own strengths you can build strong!!! (in fact, you can build anything!) Let’s go to work ladies…💪

Let me see you tag #BeautifulBrawn next upload! #FollowTheLita – xox 😉❤💪

Today’s Vent from underneath my hair

…when the world gets too loud all I want to do is hide in my hair. It’s barely lunch time and I’m already obsessing over my next workout. Thank God for the gym, a sanctuary free from the ridiculousness that life will at times spit at you. Time to meditate on my blessings & not the bullsh*t. Gymrat chronicles… now back at it… 😏

Amped Up: Morning Cardio Routine

#MyMorningCardioRoutine: In hindsight I feel stupid complaining about riding a plateau for so long & expecting to see progress. How silly of me to make such a dumb mistake! 😣 << smack 👋

I would think, wth man, I’m training consistently and zero change! Well, once I slapped both my cheeks in the face I had an awakening – WORK HARDER LITA!!! Common mistake; consistent effort but no change, variety or increased intensity = Plateau City. Not a fun destination. 😒

Your body requires constant change & challenge in order to see continued results. Don’t play the fool, if you’re kicking yourself like I was perhaps your answer is this: Train harder, train smarter, increase that incline, run longer, change up your routines, do more reps, lift heavier …Don’t be afraid of the pain, it is only TEMPORARY, but the results, they will have you smiling forever! 😄

… IF YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE YOUR BEST, YOU CAN’T TRAIN LIKE THE REST! Beast out my little beastmoders! 💪

Excellence Over Good

If you stop when you’re satisfied with good you may never know what excellence feels like. Sometimes a little accomplishment distracts us from excellence! 👐

My old track coach once said “the only thing that separates the good to the great is, the great never become complacent, they continue to push the finish line back & test their limits”… Amen!

Although I’m happy with my progress I still have plenty of work to do. Good?! Nahh, I’ll pass – working towards EXCELLENCE! 👍

IT’S NEVER CROWDED ALONG THE EXTRA MILE! 😉 #KeepPushing ✊

Little Extras = Big Victory

Earlier this week I set a goal, to lose 2lbs by the end of the week — well, I weighed in this morning and BAM, 3LBS DOWN!!! I don’t mean to toot my own horn but TOOT-TOOT 😂

As a really stubborn weight loser I am over the moon at this weeks progress. I busted my behind all week long, gave a little extra to each workout, tighten my diet, kept my thoughts positive & my efforts on beastmode, and well, I came out on top! ✊

Never underestimate the power of the ‘little’ extras you give towards everything you do. This week I am reminded that it’s these little extras, on a consistent basis that equate to a BIG victory! ❤

I am better than I was 6 days ago! ARE YOU SETTING YOUR WEEKLY GOALS?!!!

SheHulk Problems

…another episode of the non-fit fitting room dilemma. Anyone ever accidently rip a garment and tell the attendant that you picked up a faulty item? Yea, me neither 🙊 lol 😂

Or my favorite …ever struggled to fit your body into something only to spend the next 15mins with your biceps glued to your ears, huffing and puffing to get that thing off? Looks much like a physical altercation between you and a piece of clothing??! Lol, cough-cough yea me neither 😆 …who would live in that sort of denial?! Smh, the shame lol …OK, enough bs’in, it’s time for center stage, GYM TIME! 💪
