May I share these ….

JOKE#1

One day, Bill & Tom went to a restaurant for dinner. As soon as the waiter took out 2 steaks, Bill quickly picked out the bigger steak for himself. Tom wasn’t happy about that. Tom: “When are you going to learn to be polite?” Bill: “If you had the chance to pick 1st, which one would you pick?” Tom: “The smaller piece, of course.” Bill: “What are you whining about then? The smaller piece is what you wanted, right?!”

HAHAHA

JOKE#2

When the waitress in a NYC Restaurant brought him the soup du jour, the Englishman was a bit dismayed; “Good heavens,” he said, “what is this?”

“Why it’s bean soup” she replied

“I don’t care what its BEEN,” he sputtered. “WHAT IS IT NOW?”

HAHAHAHA

JOKE#3

A young man was visiting his brother and sister-in-law for Sunday dinner. As he arrived at their house he found his young nephew, Mikey, helping them bake some cupcakes.

After they were done, his sister-in-law allowed Mikey to put the icing on. When the boy had finished, he brought them to the table.

“The cupcakes look delicious, Mike.” his uncle said. He took a bite and said, “Mikey these are so good.”

As he finished cupcake and took another, he again complimented his little nephew. “The cupcakes look beautiful, Mikey,” his uncle said. “How did you get the icing so neat?”

His nephew replied, “It was easy. I just licked them.”

The uncle turned pale. He pointed to the plate of cupcakes. “You licked all of these?”

Mikey replied, “Well no. After a while my tongue got tired, and I got the dog to help.”

HAHAHAHAHA

Love Yourself

Love the Effort .. Love Yourself

(I am sharing this not because I have reached my goal nor feel that I have come to my full potential because I have so much work yet ahead of me, but to share with those that feel like they are alone, too tired and just simply CAN’T … No, a year from now, you would have wished that you started TODAY)

~ Hi Everyone, just wanted to update you on the workout progress. This is my beloved trainer Shadow: My Mentor, my Guru, my Motivation, at times my Nemesis but always my Strength. He has led me down a successful path of finding my self worth. You know obtaining a physical goal is bigger than just the losing the weight.

For me, it was the monkey on my back that symbolized everything else within that I was struggling to let go of. Trust me, there were a couple of teary-eyed moments. Like when I did a full work out with a weighted vest (8lbs he says, but what to me seemed like EIGHTY) & finally taking it off and feeling like the world had been lifted off my shoulders. I cried because it was just that. I made it through the workout so now I can make it through any daily obstacle in my life – lighter of course. Or like the other time my reps got better and better with every circuit. Gosh, I found out that day that the resilience I had was unmatched for the fear I used to allow to take over.

The effort that one has to put in, has to be whole-hearted. It has to be RAW and completely primal. This is so that the outcome is in its PUREST form. No holds barred, right?! Lay it all out on the line and what one can achieve is limitless ~

Only those who risk going too far, can possibly find out how far one can go ~ T.S.Eliot

You Inner Child

by KatSneadLeave a Comment on You Inner Child

With everything going on in my life and spending the last couple of months super focused and all about my career, I have lost sight of her ~ my Lil “Kat”ness; my inner-child. So after getting back from a great trip and really getting an opportunity to see my potential and how others “take me”, this is my Daily Om:

You could be capricious and fun-loving in your social encounters today. Your sense of fun may be due to your desire to connect with, and listen to, your inner child. Perhaps because you might recognize that there is little in life that is truly serious and critical to your enjoyment of the moment, you may find it easier to pay attention to that part of you which is carefree and uninhibited. Indulging your childlike self in play today could help you become more present with all things and people that are part of your life. As a result, you might notice that your life is saturated with an ever-present sense of wonder, and marvel at the beauty of each and every encounter you have with others. 

Our uncomplicated and free-spirited innocence and play brings an awareness of the preciousness of each moment into our lives. When we were children, we acted based on what we felt was right — without fear of what others thought of us — and our days were filled with tangible, physical, and lighthearted experiences that were based on the here and now, rather than on the past or future. Consciously returning this lost child to our current lives allows us to, once again, live in the present — which, in turn, lets us not only experience everything to its fullest, but also brings a sense of purity and fun into all of our interactions. Bringing your inner child out to play today will infuse your relationships with your lighthearted and unpredictable exuberance.

My Breaking Point

by KatSneadLeave a Comment on My Breaking Point

This is what I looked like right before I started this journey …. I have attached a photo to show everyone my breaking point. I am only 4’11 .. & yes, in that photo i was weighing in at 167 pounds. 

My baby bro walked into my parent’s place after taking a tour at the newest addition of a “hyped-up money making scheme” (well, that’s what I thought) ~ UFC Gym. I was telling him that it was a glorified adult’s playground and that it wouldn’t be conducive for achieving the physical success that my brother was looking for. He just needed a little discipline and a regular work out regimen and I thought that UFC was too commercialized and too brute for my baby brother. 

So here it is .. he asks my mom if he could sign up. She says absolutely not and that’s when it all started! He comes crying to his big sisters & begs us to convince our mother that he NEEDED this. So, being the eldest, I needed to (at the very least) find out why my brother was hooked onto this idea of this gym AND if this would be the best thing for him.

I come up with a list of questions, that I know that the sales councilor would not be able to answer correctly and long and behold I am running out of there with a membership … :( (EPIC FAIL) haha… It turns out that it has been the BEST thing for me. I met people that will have changed my life forever; saw who I was really meant to be … & who I will be for the rest of my life. 

I have attached a current photo :) I will keep you posted on how I got here …
