It feels awesome to feel PROUD again. {Day 12 1KO21}

Saw this on Tumblr today and it is perfect for my theme-- and how it feels AWESOME to feel proud again. For quite some time, I've been wrapping up my weeks feeling frustrated. I either traveled and didn't workout enough or I was home and didn't workout enough or my eating was sporadic, etc. All of the things I'm working on eliminating as I get back to my regular KO MOJO where working out was like making my bed....I just DID IT every day, it was non-negotiable. 

I am being patient and sticking to focusing on getting 6 workouts a week in, and just dealing with the fact that I can NOT use my upper body for another week at least. Physical therapy is definitely making progress on my shoulder but I'm not 100% and I will do NOTHING to keep me from that goal of being totally better. When I am better- then I will focus on BALANCE in my weight training so I balance out shoulders/biceps and triceps with chest and back and core......BALANCE. 

So I can be doing this again soon, from one of our newest FitFluential Ambassadors, Lisa Balash, who has another DVD coming out any day now:

She's fabulous. 

Here is my ramble-on-a-thon from yesterday. Enjoy the non-silence.

And to wrap things up, here is today's motivation moment:

We all have different physiques that we prefer and I personally favor more muscle like this. If I can get to this level some day I will be very happy. I definitely have the quads for this, however I also have the fat on top of it to get rid of. But I'm telling you guys, all of this focus on Kickboxing is really leaning out my legs!! I can see the top part getting slimmer....and I have no problem with that. But as I said in my video above, I am going to ONLY measure success for the rest of this year in CONSISTENCY. 

Golly though. I can't wait to get back to the weights!!!

Question: For those of you celebrating Thanksgiving next week, what is your favorite dish? I LOVE stuffing- shocking, I know, that I love carbs! haha!

I Owned It Tonight.

It's a beautiful thing to watch my stomach getting flatter and flatter every week. And my core is on FIRE tonight! So proud of myself- yesterday I was SLAMMED so busy as last night we launched our FitFluential Ambassador (Phase One) Page. Kids-- it's a whole lotta work! OK? 

Anyway, no workout yesterday and today I got to 8pm and had no workout in....that's what happens to me regularly if I don't make it happen in the morning. And yet, I conquered the inner Bad Kelly that started to say, "Oh Lord, you've had a tough day-- relax a bit!". NO WAY. Relaxing a bit- a lot- or taking it easy- a lot- or "just today I'll take off"- a lot-- IT ADDS UP PEOPLE. Don't let it.

Aren't you proud of me? I did Lisa's Kettlebell Bombshell DVD and this time, I did all three workouts straight through, with minimal rest. I burned 400 Calories total and felt great!!! I can't wait for her next DVDS to come out and stay tuned, you'll hear more about Lisa through FitFluential soon!! ;-) So-- NO EXCUSES. You don't need a gym to get your sweat on- I didn't leave my living room! HELLO!!

On that note, I can't blog much more tonight as I am FLIPPING EXHAUSTED. Be back tomorrow.
