Hello my Lovies,

I have a new Real Time Cardio for you guys to add to the archive! These past few weeks have been different in schedule, it’s Miguel’s vacation so we have to film on different days than usual.  Things are less and more hectic at the same time on his vacation times because we have to change our filming schedule, and I usually have to jam up my work into several days so we can spend time and get out of town. I also tend to slack a bit more with my eating when Miguel has his vacation, it’s easy to be on track when I don’t go out, but when we go out I love to enjoy his vacation on my working time LOL.

Now, today’s Real Time cardio is going to look like I’m having quite the hard time in the video, and I was, not because the workout was extreme but because it’s 100 was 100 degrees together with my lighting and I was losing my breath from humidity. It’s definitely harder to workout when it this hot, all I want to do is climb into my freezer and spend my days there.

Since this is a Real Time Cardio workout you can follow me along in the video, or you can write this workout down and do it by your self after any of your strength training routines.

In this workout I was using my Gymboss Timerand an 8 lbs medicine ball. This workout has 3 exercise combos, and 4 rounds of each total.

Set your Gymboss Timer for 2 intervals, first interval is 10 seconds ( getting ready for next exercise interval ), next interval is 1 minute ( exercise combo interval ), for the total of 12 rounds. Don’t rush through this routine, this is not suppose to be eye popping cardio, this is moderate cardio that we do after strength training.

Happy Monday my Loves!

May this week bring you all the joy, love and happiness in the world!  Today I wanted to talk about a very requested subject that a lot of people seem to struggle with – Jealousy. I had several letters about this subject, and I knew I wanted to share my probably very nontraditional thoughts about it.

When a person is experiencing the feeling of jealousy, they are experiencing it because they feel less of than someone else, deep down they have a belief that they are not good enough, because another person has what they want and they do not. I believe that a true nature of such feeling is a lack of self love and true acceptance of one self.  So the problem of jealousy therefore lays within ( as all problems do ), the outside really has nothing to do with that feeling, it’s your thoughts about the outside that cause you to feel in such way.

Ask your self why do I feel jealous towards that person?  Now, Let’s say your answer is: I feel jealous because I think it’s unfair that she/he gets all she/he wants and she/he didn’t even have to work for it, but I work so hard and I have so much less.

So this answer would indicate that deep down you don’t feel like you are deserving enough to have what the other person is having , because your true focus is more on the other person than on your self.  So how do you think you can have  more if your focus is not on your self? With this pattern of thinking you will be attracting more lack into your life.

In order for someone to stop feeling jealous they have to start working on their self confidence and create a new belief about them selves that serves them in a positive way, and that belief would be, that they are worthy of having everything they dream of, because each of us is worthy of everything we want and desire, we are born out of that worth.

Next, you have to focus your thoughts and actions on creating the things you want. But there is a trick,  you have to adopt a belief that there is enough to go around for everyone, and that everyone can be a winner, competition is only an illusion that derails people from the real truth.  The real Universal Truth is, our Universe is a place where everyone can have everything they can THINK of, we know this truth when we are born, but we begin to forget as we adopt to physical reality.  If you believe that one person has to lose in order for another to gain, you will always attract things into your life that are based on this belief. This Universe was designed for everyone to have enough, the only reason someone has less than others is because they believe into the mentality of lack, and by the Law Of Attraction what ever you believe in must show up in your reality.

The way we achieve our dreams are: Thought, Focus and Inspired Action.  All three things have to coexist together in your world in that exact order, if you shift your focus, thoughts or actions onto other people you cannot ever create your dreams for your self.

Another big problem that causes the feeling of jealousy is comparison to others, we often tend to compare our selves to others out of pressure. This pressure can come from parents, friends or just people around us. When we compare our selves on a regular basis that’s how we lose our self worth in the first place.
If you always compare and compete with others and always try to be the best at everything, or prettier than everyone, soon or a later there will still be someone who is better, prettier, smarter etc, and you will end up going crazy ( I actually known a few people like that  in my life ).  So the best thing to do is to only compete with your self, and your self only, thrive to become the best version of your self you can be, and then you will always be happy, because you will see your self progress over the years and trust me you will be amazed how much you’ve achieved.

In order to create what you want in your life, you have to also be happy for others, truly happy, from the bottom of your heart. When you are happy for others you create an energy of abundance around your self, and this is how you will attract your own desires and abundance into your life.

So to sum it all up, this is what it takes to stop being jealous of others and start living out your dreams :

Love for your self ~ Self acceptance ~ Self Confidence ~ Focus on your self ~ Positive Thoughts ~ Inspired Actions towards your goals ~ Happiness For Others = Abundance in your own life

One, last and I think quite important thing I’d like to add is, try not to use the word jealous or say that someone is jealous of you.  I always get a very uncomfortable feeling when someone tells me that another person is jealous of them.  I personally would never ever say that someone is jealous of me or someone else, I find it very silly.  For example, when I get really mean comments on YouTube, I never think they are saying that because they are jealous, my first reaction is that this person doesn’t understand me, or maybe they are having a bad day, that’s why they say the things they say.  Pretty much, it’s the way you look at things, if you feel that others are jealous of you, than it’s your self that you need to work on and why you feel this way.

What is your experience and advice on this subject?

Have a happy and beautiful week my Lovies,

Hugs,

Tati

Hello my sweeties,

I have another lower body workout for you this week. Usually it’s our time to record a Real Time Cardio routine, but our schedule is a bit different for the next 2 weeks ( Miguel is going out of town ) so we had to film Lower Body ( cause it was my lower body training day ). This routine is about 30 minutes long, it’s divided into two parts. In first part there are a lot of leg work, in the second part we’ll work mainly the glutes.

For the Newbies

 
If you are new to Loving Fit I recommend to check out ” Creating Your Workout Plan ” post. There you will be able to see how I put together my routines, and you can find something for your own fitness level. My philosophy is: Form is always more important than speed, so WATCH YOUR FORM!
 

Things to remember before, during and after your workout

1. Warm-Up
2. Always Practice Good Form
3. Stretch

Workout Explanation:

In this routine I was using my Gymboss Timer, sandbag ( 30 lbs ) and a 10 lbs dumbbell.  You can use more or less weight, depending on your fitness level.  I use a lot less weight than I used to because I’m trying not to get bigger legs, but if you want to build bigger legs than you can use bigger weight.

Part One

Set your Gymboss Timer as a stopwatch, there is 2 exercises in this routine, 3 rounds total. This part is done for proper form and time:

• Bag Clean Back Lunge & Pulse Right Leg – 16 reps
• Bag Clean Back Lunge & Pulse Left Leg – 16 reps
• Hammer Jump Lunges – 16 reps

Part 2

Set yourGymboss Timerfor 2 intervals, first interval is 1 minute long, second interval 40 second long, for the total of 7 rounds. ( so there will be 7 rounds of each exercise )There is no break in between so try not to take breaks at all and just keep going. These exercises set up in a way that you shouldn’t need a break:

• Clean & Booty Squeeze ( make sure you watch Workout Recap for proper form explanation )
• Bag Swing

My time:

Part one – 13 minutes 42 seconds

Part 2 – I was doing around 20-23 bag cleans and 20 bag swings

Have a wonderful weekend my loves!

Hello my Sweeties,

Happy Monday!  May your week be full of wonders! Today I wanted to talk about one of the biggest contrasts that most of us will experience – Aging. The other day one of you guys ( Kendra hey girl ) asked me to talk about this subject, so here it is:

At the moment we are living in a youth obsessed society, most people are so obsessed with staying young, that many are getting botox injections at their early 20′s, a lot of people don’t even like to admit their real age and plastic surgeons are getting richer by the moment. I believe this is happening because of couple different reasons, television, advertising and photoshop. All these things are conditioning people to believe that unless you are young, you’re not beautiful and you are pretty much worthless. So, these ideas are not really our own, they are not what any of us are like or want to be like, but these ideas run like programs in the background of our mind on autopilot. Our own real self, is separate from our society conditioned personality, and the ideals of the true self are completely different. This is why it’s so important to get to know who YOU really are on the inside.

I grew up around women who believed that after 25 a woman is already an old lady and men don’t merry anyone over 25. I remember when I was 15 and people used to ask me how I’m going to be when I’m 30, I used to say, that I will never live that long because I can’t see my self that old ( just try wrapping your mind around this ridiculousness LOL ).

The way I look at aging now is quite different, I’m in complete understanding of it’s purpose. My spiritual memories ( such as me choosing this life experience prior to being born ) and fully conscious dreams, have definitely played a huge role in my understanding of not only aging, but life in general.

I understand that aging is part of the contrast which what we’re all come here to learn, this contrast exist so we can understand to how truly love and accept our self from within, ( this is also why we chose our so called flaws before we are born ).

When each of us chooses to extend into a human form, we do that so we can learn from the contrast that this reality has to offer. It’s almost like a pretend game for our soul, but our physical self cannot see it that way, because we are limited by our analytical thinking, we see things as struggle, our souls sees it as opportunity for expansion.

The biggest lessons here on Earth are: Unconditional Love, Acceptance, Forgiveness. Unconditional Love is first, the world will unfold it self before you, if you first learn to love and accept your self. Each and every one of us will be faced with this kind of a contrast. Loving and Accepting our self is something everyone struggles with to an extent, some more some less, and as we get older the contrast get’s stronger and the only way to come to peace with it is to change your beliefs about it. Which means, you have to learn to separate your preconditioned self ( ego personality ) from your true self which is the real you. Stillness of mind, is one of the fastest ways to get to know the real you, and it’s the fastest way to learning how to accept changes.

Now, ask your self what is your biggest fear when it comes to aging? Is it illness, wrinkles, feeling of not being attractive, death? The reason people have such fear of it, is because they have beliefs about it that induce that fear.

Illness for example, this belief so many people hold about old age is, we get frail and ill, our body doesn’t work so good anymore, we suffer and suffer until we die. By thinking these kind of thoughts you are creating an energy of resistance to it, and by the biggest laws of this Universe ( the Law Of Attraction ), what ever you resist will persist.

In order to change your belief about illness, and stop attracting illness into your future life, you have to start creating your future with thoughts and beliefs that serve you right now.  Because, we all know if one really takes care of their health, there are very low possibilities that you will be sick, even when you’re old. The other day I’ve seen a very famous actress in a magazine, she is 75 and stunning healthy beautiful woman. Yes, I’m sure she is photoshopped, but still she is 75 darn it. So, do you want to be sick when you get old, then start thinking the thoughts of health now, take care of your self not only physically, but spiritually and mentally. Stress ages you faster than anything else, so find ways to reduce stress in your life. Stillness and focus on deep breath actually helps you to deal with stress.

Are you afraid of wrinkles? I personally get a bit freaked out when I meet people who’s faces don’t move. I would rather any day have lines laughter on my face, rather than the stiff robot looking face, to me it looks a bit strange and it’s quite noticeable. I’ve never in my life have seen a face that had been injected or had one of those skin tightening procedures, and looked lively.

Now, take a really good look at people who age gracefully, embrace changes in a beautiful way, and people who are freaked out of aging and are visiting a doctors office for nips and tucks. Ask your self which one do you see your self being and what will make you happy?

I my self, want to look at my self in the mirror and be proud that I’ve been taking care of my self and my face looks this way because I lead a healthy life style, I can smile and laugh and see the real emotion on my face, to me a face that moves and it’s alive is beautiful at any age. Plus, when I was way younger I’ve made a mistake of injecting my lips, and let me just say, I should of had a sign on my forehead: If you want to be a duck, ask me how.

You also have to remember, that everyone on the outside only see us how we see our selves, the world around you is just a big reflection of your own thoughts, this is why it’s so important to learn how to love and accept YOU. Surround your self with people who help you grow, who inspire you and who grow together with you in the same direction, in way that will help you evolve.

Beauty is different, it’s not only one way, the way most society perceives it, people who can see only one side of the box, cannot see it’s depth. That’s why, you have to get rid of the box and see the world and your self for the beauty that already exists, it’s beauty of constant changes. It’s the only way you can break free from the limits of your own mind and beliefs that you currently hold about your self, and about aging.

So, ask your self, how do you see your self? One of my favorite things to say is: You should only hold onto a belief if it serves you. Does your beliefs about your self serve you in a good way or the opposite?

What are your thoughts about aging?

Have a wonderful week my Loves!

Hugs,

Hello my Sweet Lovies,

How is your weekend going?  I hope all of you are having a beautiful day and and expressing gratitude towards each and every moment .  It’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted a Food Diary, it’s all because I’ve taken up a few more online clients ( I do personal nutrition and workout plans online ), it has been keeping me quite busy.  But I know that some of you guys enjoy knowing what I eat and I will keep posting these food diaries for you guys.

Lately, I’ve added quite a bit more carbs to my daily regimen in the form of oats and brown rice, I’ve noticed if I don’t eat enough grains I lose muscle ( and I’m a bit lazy when it comes to eating these kind of carbs, they’re not my favorite, but I try cause I know my body loves it ).  One thing that I have been loving more than usual lately is boiled oats with hazelnuts and berries, I’ve even been craving it daily, and have been eating that as my post workout meal.  Since just oats, nuts and berries are not enough protein to my liking, I would also add an omelet from 2 eggs ( that is if it’s my post workout meal ).

This is how I ate this past Wednesday:

Breakfast:

( Everything Organic ) – 2 eggs, one whole red pepper, mushroom ( omelette ).

Snack after Breakfast:

Old fashioned oats soaked in hot almond milk ( unsweetened ), organic blueberries, dried apricots, cinnamon and hazelnuts.

Lunch:

Organic Spinach, Chicken, Parsley and Fresh Basil and I also have some yucca underneath there.  I love yucca so much that I eat it almost daily now.

Dinner:

Organic Lettuce, avocado, chicken, rasberries and crushed hazelnuts, MMM delicious!  Hazelnuts are my favorite nuts right now, It’s the only nut I’ve been buying lately.

If you guys want, which I think would be pretty cool, you can take pics of all your meals and share them in the comment section .

Have a wonderful Saturday!

Hugs,

Tati
