Am I wrong is it impossible to achive at 40?
Click to expand...

You are wrong - it's is quite possible.
It's definetly easier in your 20's - can't lie about that but by no means impossible.

Flllllllllllllllor....

Beauty - I've seen your Gallery - You are delicious.
We are our worst critics and that's ok but sometimes it's good to see ourselves through the eyes of others.

:rose:
 
I had a good workout today...Biceps hurts...and hammies and calves are sooooore from yesterday and those box jumps!!! I must admit as are looking better...higher portion that is!!!
 
Oh my word, I want to be you when I am 40 Holy SHIT girl, you look amazing. If I can look like you when I am 40 my husband will lock me up :heart:
 
500 box jumps... lol You're loco ... how high was the box? I was going to do these soon. I
am afraid to do them on the plats at the gym b/c they slide unless I put them against a wall.. Im afraid of slipping & cracking my shin open .. did that before and it hurt miserably.

I did them at the park, they are ?? cement tree guards that serve as benches...
I am posting a picture...What I love and am really proud of is that my landing on the "box/bench" is soooo soft controlled...I am proud of that my best asset, also on my frog leaps...silence kind of like ballet...LOL...
2u901as.jpg

The bench is about 16 inches high...
 
I had a great sleep in today!!! LOL...Finally made it to the gym at 13:45
Great chest workout...and abs are sooooo sore I love doing rope crunches...
Diet so good! The best way to notice my workouts are good...otherwise workouts are good, but I don't see the muscle...
 
Had good tricep workout yesterday, a bit sore today. Thankfully Diet has beeen oh so good, that i have not had the mental need to do cardio...Yay!
I still have not recovered from those box jumps at park...AY! Sore...even though a had a deep deep muscle massage...
M1: 3 egg whites 1 whole egg
1/2 c oats with sweet & low, and 7 small almonds.
Mood...restless
 
Sounds like you have your groove back on! Nice job on the diet and you make me want to try box jumps now.

Enjoy your weekend :wavey:
 
You have a beautiful way with words and I thank you from the bottom of my heart :rose:

Beautiful inside and out, by the way. Stay strong :heart:

Diet has been good, so has training! I have not done HITT,and am afraid to do it.....
I am having strange mood swings...I may blame it on the carb being lower...still inside my macros, yet I am sort of depressed.
Catharsis time....
I do not like winter clothes, it's chilly, not cold, 50F...But I freeze.
I do not like to cover myself up so much, I need to see my skin.
I know how vain it is but that is just me...
I feel soft in bottie, and have a bit of BF% clinging on to my abs, tris, and @ss...
yes of course estrogenic fat.
I am at the point (where I have been oh so many times) where I just need to lose the last 4 lbs. of that miserable fat layer.
I get frustrated and then just want to give in and say what the hell...eat bread...or whatever you crave...
It is like a turning point, if I stick to diet IT WILL show in two weeks, really show and skin fat will be minimal on abs,
Hips and @ass is another matter...LOL
I can see my shoulders a bit more cut, (whatever they are called but I see slices on shoulders) (idiot)...
I know I may be in better shape than many others, but my ideals are so damn high that I do not know if they I will acomplish them.
It has gotten to the point where I can be ashamed of my body...
I am being honest about this so I can help myself and maybe help others who are suffering like me, striving for physical perfection.
I get mad at myself because I do so much and do not have the results I want, I am tired of comparing myself and grading others....
Last night I saw a magazine with Eva Longoria on the cover, and ok...I flipped to the pages where her pictures were...
I told BF...She is pretty, her body is ok, no big deal...They hide her waist, don't show her bottie...He said that is the photographers job to meake her look HOT, and she is.
I think he thought I was crazy, when I just made a gesture...like HOT? (HOT is someone whom I would trade bodies in a flash) Not Eva Longoria...
(If you are lost in my description sorry!)

My point is that my standard of beauty, and grace are so high...that i ca hardly see it in anyone else.
I admire any woman who has a tight tight ass, by plain hard work and diet...
Am I wrong is it impossible to achive at 40?
I think I just answered myself...
Not without a plastic surgeon...
Damn!!!!
I want to cryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...and I can'T :lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao: :velvett: :velvett: :velvett:
Click to expand...


OH LORDY!!! Listen Flor, 20 year olds would kill to have your body. You don't need a plastic surgeon, unless your Tupperware needs some new fitted lids :D.

You are living proof that it IS possible to achieve exactly the perfection you admire.:rose:
 
florencia said:
What do you mean IF?????
Click to expand...
LOL Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :)

Flor, do I have your permission to some variation on this in my sig ? More people need to take this to heart:

"Accepting who I am, and what I do have, will set me free, will make me smile from inside, and be proud of how prescious I am....
there are millions who IN MY EYES are far better than me in their beauty, in their level of fitness, or even in their financial wealth....
Yet I was made for a reason and I must find that reason and not stall or get hooked on a body that will someday be really wrinkled and stiff by aches and pains...I should enjoy it now that it is healthy, and still working...and stop suffering because it is not long and lean, and on the cover of Vanity Fair...
It is the front cover of my life that I may be putting to waste by not being happy with what I DO have...
I hope it makes sense, and really gets us going to daily acceptance and happiness..."

I did not miss a workout this past week all were intense...I can feel arms heavyyyyyy...
Diet has been good, real good! Trying to understand why my self esteem seems to be in others peoples hands...Not a good thing...It is mine and I should be the one in charge don't you agree?
I have been doing abs twice a week, (Shadow, if he ever reads this) LOL...Should I do more?why not?
 
Good Morning, Florencia!!! I'm going to try some box jumps after reading your posts. I agree, YOU are the one who determines your self-worth...although I must add my two cents and say you are a priceless diamond. :D

Have fun, today!!!
 
I lived through the box jumps,and some walking lunges...Then Gym leg workout that was gooooooood! finishing that I was yawning!!!You can inagine I was out of energy or glycogen or whatever ...meal 1 and 2 were the same...
3 egg whites 1/2 c raw oats and 7 almonds

Thanks T!
I am doing better! I had no cheats today, my hard is a bit numb...I have no idea why....Does anyone have any good/bad remarks of zone perfect bars?
Wisting my money and getting too much carbs? Or sugar? I have them either as noon snack or 6 p.m. meal...my heavy lunch is at 3 p.m.
 
Hun I have achieved more & looked better at age 40 than I ever did at age 20. Sure its harder, but I also know my body so much better, I know what I can do when I focus and I know how to achieve my goals vs getting caught up in that "I gotta starve to lose weight" syndrome.

... it was 41 that threw me :worried:

... :) -- just means I have to learn more about how to manage my body.


You're still an inspiration as to natural beauty & the pure enthusiasm that just radiates from your posts. That alone will help keep you young more than any protein ratios or box jumps!
 
Thanks J! And S!
Sounds like a good bar name huh?
I had a great back and bicep workout!!!
I went to tanning booth and feel great today!
 
Good Morning! I did not get up to trin vhest this morning...I have a massive headache...I only had egg whites for early dinner, and 1 teaspoon BP...(estee) brand for diabetics..only sugar free I can find in this side of the world.
I think I will skip training this afternoon...
I was playing with my abs this morning laying in bed and contracting them...
Odd description ahead...beware of dumbness...
it's really funny how the sides next to the leg...-I guess where hip flexors are-
just cave in and somehow push the abs up...My ab muscles are long and not very wide,
so they por up like a little hill and the sides caven in...that's when I know I am lowering BF%.
Mood is better than other days optimist to say the least...
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

I can hardly wait until my abs can do that:). Happy Sunday, Florencia!
 
Thanks LuLu!
I had a miserable weekend! mixed feelings crying and laughing like a maniac...
It all began well...really well
We went ot Theatre good show, and Ay ay ay my brand new car was gone!!!
So it was a guessing game...robbed? towed away?
Finally after asking around it seemed it was towed,take a cab in the rain....surprise...BF's keys WERE in my car...no way to get inside the house...HAD to go to the maid's house...in the cab....mad at daughter becuse she had MY keys and was at a party....So the good thing was BF & I did not even fight...or complain...good thing I guess...
So finally after some search my car was supposed to be @ some detained car grounds...my credit cards are still in the trunk...I have not had a decent meal...
Mexico's beaurocracy is soooo bad it may stay there another day...

Bottom line...LOL...will my muscle gains now become losses because I have not eaten well since Friday night?
Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
 
I am so sorry to hear about your car girl, that really stinks. I hope you enjoyed that massage!!!

Has Anyone had similar problem?

Excellent on the clean diet, Florencia!:rose: I haven't had the problem of not wanting to eat, but I do have a protein shake as my first meal.

Hey Florencia! It's probably just some of the strees of the holidays catching up to you. You'll recover and be back at it 100%.:)

Hey girls! LuLu, Ilk & Sassy!
Now great bicep workout...sore tomorrow for sure!!
I had a small accident last time I did box jumps (:wink:Bunny)
And I sprained my ankle...I went in for Xary today since pain does not go away...
NOT real pain, to be honest...just feels cold and hot...kind of like if I had ice on it...numb, and tennis shoes feel tight...
So it was only a sprain...hope it goes away fast...

Thanks! I think it a recurring sprain!
My food intake was good until I had lunch with my kids...LOL...
Don't even laugh at my cheat...
beef tacos...not even fried, just beef & avocado salsa...(if anyone wants the salsa recipe let me know)
I think corn tortillas are a cheat for me...too many carbs I think...LOL
May have been the food of kings(mayan & aztec) but to me it is plain corn which makes ME fat...
I won't be cooking tonight SO is out with buddies after bike ride training for Ironman Arizona...so that leaves me..here able to catch up...yum yum yum


There is a brownie downstairs in kitchen but it will probably stay there... :heart:
 
Ohhhh bummer on the sprain :( I sprained ankles back in middle school playing basketball and have always had issues w/ them.

Go C your Massage therapist!!! They can help speed recovery by helping align the fibers and do some frictioning in there. Even with inflammation on it they can help, but it will be a B1znatch feeling for you.... :heart:

Hi girls!
Well diagnosis was made for my "sprain" Chronic tendonitis....like 3 tendons areound the ankle...He named them all and I insist on not remembering the names...Sorry for those who are really admired by me with all technical names & issues.
So I am having to dip my foot in a tub with arnica and warm water....
Getting laser & ultrasound therapy on area three times this week with a day in between therapies...anti inflamatory medication and glucosamine complex 3 times a day for 3 months.
Diet has been good, only yesterday was a complete disaster I ate 3 brownies.
If I want to console myself I can say I had no cheats during the holidays, so I guess it was ok...Stomach did hurt after the feast! And right now it feels like I have a bump in the middle of the abdomen.
About workouts...Hummmmm
I am off weights...He sadi a week should do it...I forgot to say I ALSO have carpal tunnel syndrome on right wrist...
AGE AGE AGE...:lmao:
So I have been brisk walking on flat surface & elliptical (which numbs my feet)
and isometrical exercises.
Hope everything stays in it's place....
 
Good Morning!!!
Ok so i am off to the gym...shoulder workout! Love love love it!!!
M1 3 egg whites 1/4 c oats with water 1 TBSP ground flax seed
:coffee:
 
I ate poorly yesterday, today 3 egg whites and 1/4 c oats for m1.
I am of to park brisk walk, and hope that by Tuesday Dr. will allow me to start weights again.
I miss my weights and I think they go hand in hand with diet...
 
Hey Flor! I'm happy to hear your getting a full spectrum of treatment for your ankle!

LOL @ the three Brownie exchange....you really should be congratulated on your reserve...I would have eaten a carton of Little Debbie's.

Have fun on your walk!
