BADD Girls: Facebook Group!!!!

BADD stands for BOLD- AMAZING-DETERMINED- DIVAS!!!!!


This an amazing facebook group filled of team beachbody women who are making things happen. We are losing weight and getting in shape.


I know you are looking for a group of women who will motivate, inspire, push, jump and workout with you. 


This group is great for me because I'm not PHYSICALLY surrounded by people who want and need to work out. I'm accustomed to doing this journey by myself. It's extremely refreshing to have a group of ladies who are all on the same road as myself. We are all at different parts of the journey, but we all have the same destination. 


This group will be great for you because....
WE WANT TO MOTIVATE YOU!!! WE WANT TO HELP YOU REACH YOUR GOALS. 


BADD Girls mission is to Inspire, motivate and empower you To take control of you fitness and your life. We will share tips, accountability and support to make your Journey FUN and un-forgettable. To the BADD girl in you. She is UNSTOPPABLE! 


The founders of this group are all Coaches, like myself (Note: I'm not a founder) and we all have the same goal- inspire, motivate and empower YOU.

If you'd like more info about this group/interested to join. Feel free to reach me on Facebook at me at Coach Browne Bombshell. 

Day 23- Cardio Power & Resistance (722)

Good Night Folks, 


Today I had a wonderful day. I did great on my diet & I did AWESOME on my workout.  I did a total of 56 power jumps. WHAT!!!!!!!  I also did well w/ my floor sprint and moving push-ups. I'm feeling great.  Believe it or not... my only problem w/ this workout is the damn tricep dips. SMH- I can't do those at all. It feels like the 1st time every time. 


I even got my sister to join me and I must say... she has improved a lot. When she first started doing Insanity workouts, she would say "I can't do this" or "There's no way I'm doing that- I'm too big". Today- she was WAY BETTER.  She did everything to the best of her ability. She didn't constantly stop and she pushed really hard.  I feel like a proud momma. LOL


Also, I recently joined a group of  BADD Girls- who take fitness very seriously. We are all determined to help each other and you. If you're intersted in getting motivation, tips, ideas... feel free to contact me for more details- I promise you wouldn't regret it. :-)


What's on you plate today? (food & exercise)


Until tomorrow guys

Day 22- Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs (800+)

Ok, this is going to be short and sweet.......................


I got 5 hours a sleep last night. I woke up to a phone call from my best friend/sister who was in labor (8AM).  


I was at the hospital from 9:30AM-9:30 PM.  I then had to drive home (1 more hour) and guess what?????????




I PUSHED PLAY TODAY AND I GAVE IT ALL I HAD (and I had a lot) 


I'm tired- going to bed. I'm ready for Week 4/ Day 2. 


Oh yeah: I now have a healthy little niece name Jordin. Bless her little heart. 
Good Night (or should I say Good Morning?)

Day 21- Plyometrics (594)

Oh yeah baby. I completed week 3 today and I'm feeling so good. I'm so happy right now I feel like dancing. Hahahaha. 


I'm so looking forward to smashing week 4.  I realize that I've gotten a lot stronger and better with my cardio. I'm getting through the warm-ups w/ little to no stopping. I'm doing more push ups than I was on week 1.  I'm even starting to like Level 1 & Level 2 drills- *shocking*


I'm very excited about this journey and I can't wait to see my 63- day results. I'm so so excited.  


Tomorrow we have Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs- Let's go. 

Day 19 & 20 Cardio Power & Resistance (791)

Hey Folks, 


I wanted to hit you guys up with a quick update.  Day 19 was a REST DAY for me.  So on Day 20- I did CP&R.  It was awesome.  I never thought I would have so much fun doing this workout but I have to say- I was kicking some serious ass when it came down to the jump squats & moving push ups. I'm actually impressed w/ myself.  I felt really good about this workout.  


Tomorrow I will complete week 3. I'm so happy. :-)


I hope you guys are still pushing it. Keep up the great work. 

Day 18- Cardio Recovery (462)

Hey Everyone, 


This morning, I woke up feeling EXCELLENT.  For some reason I was excited to do Cardio Recovery today. I guess it's b/c it's less strenuous. But OMG this workout is no joke.  Squat and hold, lunge and hold, pulse... pulse...PULSE.  Have mercy on my legs- Please!!!!! LOL


Overall it was a good workout- I felt every single move I made- and it hurt so good. LOL. Well until tomorrow folks.  Keep digging deep and pushing play. 


Coach BB. 

Day 16 (Plyo) & Day 17 (Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs)- (1537)

Hey Guys, 


Tuesday absolutely sucked for me. I don't know why, but I just couldn't muster up the energy/drive to do my Plyo workout.  I went into my gym/garage- pushed play and started the warm up..... and realized that I was half assing my way thru the entire thing.  So I stopped. 


I decided to occupy my time with doing other things- I went online, I searched for motivation from my fellow friends on FB & Team Beachbody, but for the life of me the motivation was far far away.  So I called my sister... the same one who's supposed to be doing this with me. (side note: my husband is in NYC most of the week so he can't do it w/ me every day) I asked her if she's going to work out when she got home in the evening.  She said "YES".  Now I'm thinking "GREAT"- there's no way I'm going to punk out if I have a partner w/ me.  The evening comes and my sister asks me to go w/ her on some errands.  Against better judgement I went b/c of course at this time it was 7PM and I was already starting to feel sluggish (my body was going into the relaxing zone).  So when we get back- I go straight into the gym (b/c I went out w/ my gym clothes- lol) and pushed play. I yell to my sister... you got 5 minutes woman. LETS GOOOOOOOO (in my best Shaun T voice) and this heffa turns to me and says- "oh no! not tonight- I'm too tired and I gotta wake up extra early for work".  


AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


So my motivation flew right out the garage door. SMH.  So I decided that I'm going to do my Plyometrics, PC & Abs the following morning (Wednesday).


Now that I'm well rested and have a new attitude on Wednesday, I push play and smash my Plyo workout. I burned 650 calories.  I tried to keep the momentum going into Pure cardio- but once I got to those damn switch kicks I was near death. LOL. So I stopped. Once again, I'm hoping that my partner will help me over this hump in the evening. Sure enough- history repeats itself and she doesn't want to work out. So now I'm determined not to go to sleep w/o pushing play again. I had all this extra energy out of nowhere and BOOM!!!!!!!! I did Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs burning a total of 887. Woo Hoo. 


Now I would like to talk about Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs for a minute...


Pure Cardio- To me it feels like death in a gift box. LOL. I say this b/c when you start it Shaun T says he's nervous. So if this fit monster is afraid- then I should be freaking terrified.  I don't appreciate those damn switch kicks. I especially don't like level 2 drills. My upper body strength has completely disappeared and  I can barely squeeze out 10 push ups at a time.  But I'll get better..God willing. 


Cardio Abs- even though we do no crunches- this damn workout is a pain in my back (literally). My lower back hurts a lot when doing this video. It feels great in the end, but good God I wish my back didn't hurt so much.  


If you guys have any tips or suggestions PLEASE SEND THEM MY WAY B/C I CAN SURELY USE YOUR ADVISE. 


Have a great day/night. 

Day 15- FIT TEST #2

Hey fellow fitness maniacs!!!!

Yesterday was Day 14 which was a rest day... a much needed rest to prepare for the Fit Test.

Just completed my 2nd Fit test. I didn't look at my previous results b/c I didn't want to have the original number haunting me. So I pushed play and dug extra deep.
The results are in
Switch Kicks: 52-63 (+11) Good Job
Power Jacks: 50-57 (+7)  Nice
Power Knees: 84-118 (+34) Whoa!
Power Jumps: 11-22 (+11) *Smiling*
Globe Jumps: 7-8 (+1) Ok
Suicide Drills: 4-5 (+1) :-( I hate this move with all my soul.
Pushup Jacks: 9-10 (+1) OK- I really need to work on this.
Obliques: 40-40 (+0) Dammit!!!! I couldn't squeeze out 1 more if I tried. LOL

So I just wanted to let everyone know that this wasn't easier. Even though I increase all but 1 of my numbers I still finished this Fit Test feeling extremely tired and burned out.  I did get that burning feeling in my chest again today, but I just kept moving and working hard. I can't believe were up to week 3 already. I'm so excited.  I will be moving if you do.

Please feel free to drop a note or ask any questions if you'd like.  Feel free to subscribe and follow me on my journey. I'm not going to lie...It  get's hard, sometimes I just don't want to do it, but I have to keep thinking of what I want to accomplish. So keep digging and push play folks. Until next time.

Day 11, 12 & 13- Recovery, Cardio P & R, Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs (1113)

Hey Guys, 


Thursday- I completed Day 11- Cardio Recovery. My legs were tight and in pain when I was done. I"m so sorry I forgot to post an update about my workout.  SMH. 


Well today (Saturday) I completed my Friday & Saturday workout.  For some reason, I didn't have the energy, drive or the will to complete a workout.  I was only able to complete the freaking warm up. I asked my sister and husband to be my motivation. They were supposed to come home on Friday night and workout with me.  Unfortunatley, they didn't have the drive to workout either. So I decided to give in. I wasn't going to work out on Friday night. 


Saturday morning I woke up and did Friday & Saturday's workout.  I burned a lot of calories and I had to dig really deep. LOL. I was exhausted but happy when I was done.  The Cardio Abs was really good. My only problem that I have is the pain I get in my lower back. I had to stop frequently to avoid the pain. But all in all it was great.  I loved it.  I'm actually thinking about pushing play again tomorrow (Sunday). Let's see how I feel  in the A.M. 


Keep focused, if you fall off- PLEASE JUMP BACK ON. Don't delay. 


Until next time folks.

Day 10- Plyometrics Cardio Circuit (744)

Oh goodness. I pushed myself really hard today.  I am super happy to say that today, I completed the entire WARM UP WITHOUT STOPPING.  I also burned the most calories today than I've done in any other workout so far. :-D


I'm so happy that I dug super deep tonight. However, I struggles so freaking hard to do the level 1 drills, ski abs and in & outs.  That is the absolute hardest part of the entire workout. I can't believe that we have to do them 3 freaking times.  When I finish the 1st round I'm ready to cool down and call it a day. Thank goodness for Shaun T b/c he knows exactly when to motivate and push you.  


What's next.......SHAKEOLOGY!!! When you mix it w/ fruits it EXTRA filling. 


I hope everyone is doing well on their fitness journey. Keep up pushing on.

Day 9- Pure Cardio (548) 2/8/11

Hey Guys!


Sorry for the super late post. Haha. 


Week 2- Day 2.  I really want to let you guys know that I'm going strong with Insanity. I know it's kind of early in the program to say that- but I'm definitely going INSANE.  I feel great. I feel energetic.  I feel so much better than I did before starting Insanity. 


I had my shakeology today and it was great. 


The workout today was hard.  I struggled through it again, but I made it through anyway.  I hope you all are digging deep. 

Day 8- Cardio Power & Resistance (668)

Yeah Baby!


Today I hit Cardio P& R hard today.  Of course it was a killer- but I pushed through it as best as I could.  
Now I made a personal goal that I will try my absolute best to increase the number of calories burned every time I do a work out. 


This week I was unsuccessful, but I tried pretty hard.  Last week I burned 682, this week I burned 668. I guess I got to work harder next time. 


How is your  workouts going?  Keep up the great work.

Day 7- Weigh In #1

Hey Guys, 


I just wanted to update you guys on my progress.  I jumped on the scale this morning and I'm happy to say that I lost 4lbs.


 I'm went from 238 to 234 in 6 days.  


I know this sounds wack, but if I can do it- you sure can. 


Let's keep it going folks.

Day 6- Plyometrics Cardio Circuit (668)

Good Night/Morning Folks, 


I almost didn't make it but.......... I completed day 6 at 12 midnight on Sunday morning.  I had an extra busy day today and I kept pushing my workout down my to do list.  Well needless to say, by the time I finished all my ripping and running, I was exhausted, but there was something in me that was determined to stick to the given schedule.  My husband on the other hand... not so much. He was ready to make today his rest day and work out tomorrow (Sunday).  Now I'm not going to lie, it was tempting, I even sat down and watched some TV, but for some reason my mind kept going back to Shaun T.  So I had enough of him taunting my mind and decided to get up and work out.  I turned to Troy & said "Babes, I'm going to push play right now- you don't have to do it with me, but I sure would like the company."  Of course he moaned and groaned b/c he was afraid that he was going to throw up his dinner that he ate 6 hours before.  (We had dinner at 6PM & pushed play at midnight).  Even though I was also afraid of throwing up- I sucked up my fears and went to my gym (aka) the garage.  By time the DVD was loaded- the hubby was right next to me ready to get started.  :-) Yay!


So of course, Plyo was difficult. I have to admit- the ABSOLUTE hardest part of this  work out is the level 1 drills leading into the ski abs & finally the in & outs.  Oh goodness. I'm telling you- the number one reason I have to stop is b/c my wrists feel like they may break under the pressure of my weight. The 2nd reason I would stop is b/c my damn legs feel like noodles.  LOL.   Now let me say, the last time I did Insanity, I could do about 15-18 regular push ups.  NOW!!! I can barely do 4 at a time (that's if you want to call what I do a push up) so that's an area I'm going to focusing on. A personal goal. 


Make a personal goal for yourself when you're working out. Regardless of your fitness level. Nothing beats the feeling of surpassing your goals. 


Ok, so that's it for today folks. Oh yeah.. I plan on doing weekly weigh ins. So I'll post my results on Sunday/Monday. 


Until Next Time.... Coach BB

Even though I fined

Day 5- Pure Cardio (682)

OH MY GOSH!!!

Day 5 is in the books and I'm super happy!!! Me & the hubby got up and went right to work.  Pure Cardio was so damn hard today. HARD!!!!!

My legs... hurt
My shoulders....hurt
Abs... ok

When I completed Pure Cardio I swear my entire body was wiggling like jello.  Whew! But I must say it feels really good.  I'm slowly building up my stamina for these workouts.  One more day before completing week 1.

Woo Hoo!!!!! Gotta stay inside b/c here in NJ were expecting MORE snow tomorrow. SMH. Oh well, Insanity will keep me busy.

Day 4- Cardio Recovery + Plyometrics (433)

Nighty Night Guys.  


I'm super late w/ my post today but I have to let you all know that I pushed play today... Hooray!!!!


I did my recovery workout and good God Almighty... I completely forgot how tough these workouts are. 


Slow squats, slow lunges, pulsing squats/lunges and  a bunch of plank work. Whew!!!!! My muscles were trembling and crying out for help. Of course, I loved it.  


My sister felt like it was too slow for her, so she decided that she wanted to do some Plyometrics. So of course I stayed as motivation- for both her and for me.  We worked out to the Plyo and suffered severely. Haha. 


I have it noted that I burned 433 calories, but I stopped my calorie counter when I finished Cardio Recovery... I'm certian I burned at least another 450-550 calories doing Plyo... but who's counting???


I had a good time today working out and finished my night off w/ some chocolate shakeology.  Yummmm. 


Ok folks- Day 4 in the books. And I'm ready for day 5.  Keep pushing play!!!
Coach BB

Day 3- Cardio Power & Resistance (682)

Day 3 in the books.

I have to admit... I barely had the energy (or the will) to the do the workout today. REAL TALK.  The mistake I made was that I didn't work out in the morning.  So tonight at 7:30PM I decided push play. It was hard and I felt sluggish, but I have to admit- it felt good once the blood started pumping.  Today, I got my sister to join me and my hubby on the workout. It was fun and the time went by a lot faster.  My food today was good, for breakfast I had oatmeal, lunch I had a chicken breast sandwich & dinner I had a chicken salad sandwich (made w/ mustard).  I drank tons of water and 1 cup of milk. 

After the workout I was hungry... I knew Shakeology wouldn't cut it for me tonight so I had a garden salad. It was delicious.

Ok, tomorrow is a recovery day. I'm looking forward to it.  :-)

Day 2- Plyo (694)

Dear Shaun T,


I've missed you so much. You've been gone for so long. Or maybe it was me who left, but I want you back. Since you've returned yesterday, you've shown me all the good loving I've been missing. I'm so sorry I've abandoned you. I'll never do it again. I need you. My body needs you. And I'm so happy you're back in my life.


Love,
Browne Bombshell.


So today Insanity kicked my ass. I'm not going to lie. I huffed and puffed all the way through this workout. I took a ton of breaks. My husband was exhausted. He just kept saying "this man (shaun t) is a beast" Right now he's shuffling aroung the house like an old lady. LMAO. I on the other hand- I'm doing better. I'm not too soar. I'm ready for day 3. Idk what i'm going to eat though.... I need some help in that area. I guess I'll be drinking Shakeology.


Until next time folks.

Day 1- Insanity Fit Test....Here we go again
