A New Challenge is coming up ...

The - "ChaLean Extreme & Brazil Butt Lift" - Challenge ....

Starting this coming Sunday (05/01/11)

Another way to workout ...

This past weekend my husband and me went backpacking to the Guadalupe Mountains National Park - we wanted to hike the highest point of Texas the "Guadalupe Peak" (with an elevation of 8,751 feet).

This picture below was taken in at the beginning of this year. I did not know that behind me was the highest peak in Texas I was more amazed by the white sand :-)

The trail was a really hard one for me and I had to rest the first third of the hike a lot in order to get my heart rate down - after I while I got used to it and I did enjoy the amazing view of this trail and mountains.

As my husband and me reached the top of the peak - we did enjoy this beautiful view and got to sign a Record Book as well. I was so happy and proud of myself to make it up all the way on top in 3 hours and 45 minutes.

On the way up my husband carried the main backpack and after spending a night up in the mountains it was my turn to carry the backpack down ... and I can tell going down was not easy at all since most of the trail is very steep.

I am so happy to accomplish such a great hike with my husband (who has done this hike 3 times in his life). We are planning on doing more and more backpacking hiking trips in the future with more great opportunity to get in shape while enjoying this beautiful nature.

I hope everyone had a great Easter Weekend and is off to a great new week.

Progress in sight

I have been riding my bike now 4 days a week (usually Monday - Thursday) and I must say it is so much fun and i am getting faster (which depends very much on the desert wind here ...) and it is so peaceful to see the sun rise in the mornings and knowing I did something great already. It also feels like I had already 5 coffees when I ride my bike to work. As soon as I get to work I drink my Shakeology shake at 7:30am and around 2.5 hours later my 2nd Breakfast :-)

Last night I went to the ER because I thought I had StrepThroat and I felt so horrible - well at the end it was "just" an bacterial infection inclusive a "major" sinus issue and wired body aching :-( .... but I am on the way to recovery.

The main thing which struck me last night is that I had to give them my weight and of course I did not know... I avoid the scale for many reasons BUT even with clothes the scale told me that I have lost 2 pounds.

I have a strong desire to start BBL now for real in the mornings - which means on a "Bike-Day" i would have to wake up at 5:00am - but I really need to work on those legs and butt. Wish me luck and I hope tomorrow morning even if I am still sick I can get up early and workout :-)
