Training IS My Addiction!!!

Just got back from the gym :D
I did a nice HIIT cardio session on the elliptical and then did some good leg exercises to loosen up my muscles for my leg workout tomorrow (if i get the chance to workout).
I strongly believe that working out is my addiction, I get a high off of it, on a scale of 1-10 after my workout I am at a 15 for happiness...you think I would be tired after working for 7 hours.
I am so excited to see my mother and sister tonight! Too bad the weather sucks right now, but tomorrow is supposed to be sunny just in time for my birthday!
I can officially drink tonight (or this morning ;) ) at 12! I plan on having a birthday cake shot yuumm!
Does anyone listen to a song they love over and over? I have an issue with doing that and I feel like my neighbors get really annoyed if they can hear. Right now my song is "The Show Goes On" by Lupe Fiasco and also Niki Minaj and Lil Wayne "the Knockout"

"They treat you like a slave 
Put chains all on your soul and put whips up on your back 
They be lyin' through they teeth, hope you slip up off your path 
I don't switch up, I just laugh, put my kicks up on they desk 
Unaffected by they threats, then get busy on they ass" - Lupe Fiasco

Believe in YOU

High off life!

In such a good mood right now! I feel like I'm high off lifeeee! I had my first day of work as a personal trainer at Gold's Gym and I absolutely love it :) I met some very awesome new people! My mother and sister are coming to visit on Saturday, they are staying for the weekend :) And then I turn 21 on Sunday!! Bah! everything is moving so fast, I can not believe I am already turning 21, I feel like it was a couple months ago that I was saying "ugh I still have 3 more years till I turn 21" and now it's in a couple of days!
The best part of personal training is that I get to train people, then workout and tan for free- everything I love to do! Today I worked out my chest and back, the gym was absolutely packeddd and it was hard to get supersets in!
And to top today off, my website will be up and ready for Saturday which I will be offering online personal training! I will keep everyone updated when it's ready :D
Anyone that is reading my blog, please follow me so I have more followers! (so I don't feel like such a loser writing everyday :P

Live, Laugh, Love your body, and most importantly Believe in YOU! You only live one life, live it how you want, enjoy it and go after your dreams. At the end of the day all we have is who we are.

Here's a pic from my apartment view for those that have been asking!

Happy Valentine's!

I've never been too big into Valentine's Day because why should you celebrate your love for someone only one day a year? It should be celebrated every day! Enjoy today and reach out to others that really need some lovin'.

I worked out my legs early early this morning and then had another interview today for personal training. I will be going out to eat and Ne-Yo concert with a good friend later! Should be lots of fun :)

GYM TIME!

Hey everyone! I finally got internet in my new apartment that I just moved into the other day! So I can write in my blog again :)
Today I am going to the gym with my friend! I can not waittt, I feel like I haven't been to the gym in forever with all this running around yikes! I am also back on my diet! So for breakfast I had 6 egg whites with broccoli and a cup of oatmeal :)
I've been running around like my head has been chopped off -interview after interview to get a job out here!

Off to the gym!
Believe in you~~~

B-e-a-utiful Day

Today was absolutely gorgeous out! It was not too productive but it was very relaxing. I bought a few things for my new apartment :) and then went to the Grove with Amber and Jessica. We saw the Roommate ahhhh creepy movie! Tomorrow I am finally moving in and doing some major grocery shopping, because I will be starting back up on my strict diet! which means I will be having a cheat meal tonight- frozen yogurt ;)

ab workout

"Hey Leah your abs are totally amazing what do u recommend for a good workout for mens abs"- Jeff Bourque

Here's a great ab workout Jeff!

After warming up and stretching!

Do 3 sets of 15 decline bench leg raises

Then do 3 sets of 30 second Russian twists with 30 seconds of rest between each

Then do 3 sets of 15 Swiss Ball crunches (exaggerating the decline position so you really feel the stretch!)

Then end with 3 sets of 1 minute planks! 

This ab workout is intense if you do it correctly! Remember to stretch after the workout also! :)

"To live doesn't mean your alive"

        On my way to my new apartment to put down the payments...everything sunk in that I am actually doing it and that I am officially moving to L.A. the place I have wanted to live my whole life. Driving in the car there, Niki Minaj's song "Moment for Life" came on. Goosebumps rose on my arms because I could identify with everything she said. "I believe that life is a prize, but to live doesn't mean your alive," I believe that everyone should live by this, many people go about their lives thinking that doing the "norms" is what they have to do even if it doesn't make them happy. Everyone should live by doing what makes them feel alive, living their passions, and doing what makes them grow as a person instead of living in the same position not going forward.
       "Shout out to the haters, sorry that you couldn't faze me." Another great part of the song...No one should let others stop them or make them feel like they can't do something they want to go after, or to be the person they want to be. And honestly I do wish I could have "this moment for life" because the journey forward means everything, it's an adrenalin rush to me. And after I get to where I want, I will set more goals for me to achieve to keep me going forward and growing into a better Leah :)
