#Lord thank you for letting me get through those 50 minutes of #cardio. You know how many times I wanted to stop, but I kept hearing you say NO.
You sustained me and I thank you kindly with all my #heart and #soul.
I am blessed to be in good health mind, body and soul.

May my daily workouts and food consumption bring you glory and honor as with every area of my life.

In Jesus name I prayer and ask.  Amen!

Zakiya!

Do you lift? If not start today!

Steve (the trainer) and I were talking and he shared with the frustration women have when they are not seeing results. He explained that when you have more fat, it takes more time to build muscle. You have to allow time for your body to turn around, but keep at it. Don’t skip out on the weights! I see definition in my arms (My guns are showing, LOL) and my legs even have cuts forming. My thigh are MUCH smaller and most of all I am stronger! YESS!

Contrary to what most of us believe muscle weighs less than fat. See the example below. According to Mike Samuels in his article How Does Muscle Burn Fat? in order to lose a pound of fat, you need to burn 3,500 calories. This can be accomplished either through dieting and following a calorie restricted meal plan, or through the adherence to an exercise plan. However, the best option for optimal results is to follow both a diet and exercise plan.

Which would you rather have?

While cardio is effective in burning more fat, weight training can be huge in fat burning helping to increase muscle mass. Don’t believe check out my picture below. From February to April I lost about 10 pounds and several inches. I beefed up my cardio to 1 hour and increase the weight a tad bit in my resistance training. It’s no joke, but it works and IS working!

From February to April BIG difference! Lift girl lift!

This is the truth.com! Got on the scale at the Dr. on Monday and another 5lbs is gone..288 to 283 in a weeks time! Now I will tell you I am hungry allllll the time, but I usually have something in my purse, because it wouldn’t be cute if the Queen passed out. LOL!
