My Personal Inspiration...

An old photo of my Dad & I when I was a little girl.


My Dad passed away on March 2, 2012 from a heart attack. Heart problems run in my family on both sides, I never realized how important health was until I lost my Dad. It hit home for me, it was too REAL. I miss him so much, & it made me realize that I want to be able to live longer for the people who love me.. My Dad was only 48 years old when he passed away. He didn't make it to his 49th birthday this May 2012. He left behind a good Wife (my Mom), 6 children(including yours truly), and so many people who loved him so much!! I stopped and thought deeply about this sudden & tragic loss of my Dad, all these months trying to readjust without my Dad took a lot out of me emotional, but I always remembered the good memories of my Dad and I know in my heart he would never ever want to see any of us sad & hurt.. I'm not going to lie, it still hurts, but with time & remembering all the good things my Dad taught me, I'm healing.. and I am getting stronger & stronger with each new day God gives me. I'm digressing again, but what I'm trying to say is that losing my Dad made me think about my LIFE, and made me take a good look at my "HEALTH." I want to be around for a while, and I want to still be here for all my family that love me, I want to be around for not just the good times, but to help my family get through the tough times in life. I want to be there for them. Not just emotionally present, but "still around" as in alive & kicking.. You may not appreciate your family right now, but know this... you think it will never happen to you, but I'm going to tell you right now.. sooner or later, it WILL. I'm not saying this to be brutal or mean, I would never intentionally hurt or be mean to anyone like that, I am telling you this right now, to teach you to APPRECIATE your family while they are still ALIVE! We do not realize just how blessed we truly are to have loved ones still around, and many times we do not take the time to truly APPRECIATE them & tell them how much you love & appreciate them while they're alive.. but we absolutely NEED TO! Tomorrow is not promised, when you wake up each morning, that is a gift from GOD! He's giving you another chance to live a MEANINGFUL life.. he has faith in YOU. What I'm trying to say really is, I never thought it would happen to me.. I thought & expected my parents to live FOREVER!! I've had it in the back of my mind that one day I "may" lose them, but that was my worst fear, and never tried to think much about it. That day happened, and I was fortunate enough to have the chance to tell my Dad that I loved him, one last time, during a phone conversation when I called my parents up for Valentine's day. I was lucky enough to have those 3 special words be the last thing I said to my Dad.. now, all of a sudden, like a flash of lightning bolt, and without a notice, he was taken from our lives so unexpectedly. I do not wish this on anyone, not even my worst enemies.


The message I want to convey here is, my Dad's life ended at a very young age of 48. I'm one of his 6 children that he left behind, and my Mom (who is the strongest woman I know).. and many people who loved and adored him. I wish he was still around to watch my youngest brother graduate from high school next week, on June 20th. I wish he was still here to watch the birth of his first Grandchild, which will be the first in my immediate family, his name will be Aiden Vicente, first child of my other brother (the eldest boy). I wish my Dad was able to see my brother Ben go off to his new life in the Army, and watch him graduate basic training. I wish he was alive still, to get to walk my 2 other sisters down the aisle. Although he will be able to be there in spirit, I wish he was still around physically. This is my message to YOU all out there, I want you to want to be around for the people that YOU LOVE!! I want you to be able to be there for YOUR MOM, YOUR DAD, YOUR HUSBAND, YOUR WIFE, YOUR BROTHER(s), YOUR SISTER(s), your family & friends who love you so dearly. It hurts to watch someone you love be buried, it hurt me to watch all my siblings & my Mom and family mourn over the loss of my Dad. That heart attack took my Dad away from us, physically but not in spirit. I know God has called him, and I'm starting to slowly accept that it was his time. I just wanted to share this with all of you, I hope you find that special inspiration and motivation to drive your fitness journey. Look for that deeper meaning behind getting healthy, that sexy body in the end is just a plus, look for that deeper inspiration to drive you to commit to this journey on a daily basis.


I have the old photo of my Dad up on my bulletin board, and look towards it whenever I'm exercising and want to GIVE UP. I look at it, think of what my Dad would tell me, and I'm motivated again... I'm doing this for his memory, I'm doing it for those who love me, but most of all I'm doing it for me. To be healthy. :)

My Dad's Story

I'm going to digress from the fitness aspect of this blog a little bit, and share a story with you. I have been good with my workouts, & eating habits, but since Father's Day is coming up, I have had a lot on my mind lately. Before I share this story, know that I am a very private person, and not used to sharing my personal stories & experiences but I need to release these feelings out somehow, and my outlet is through writing. I feel like my stories & experiences might resonate with someone, somewhere, out there.. hopefully it helps you figure out your life too.. and to overcome the grief of losing a loved one..

Here goes nothing.

Recently, I've found myself wanting to talk about my Dad, openly & honestly.. I need to release all this emotion inside, and I am ready to share with the world the story of "MY DAD," of how great of a man he was, even greater Father! I'm getting choked up & in tears as I write this, it's very difficult. I'm sorry in advanced if my thoughts are scattered but I need to do this, for my Dad. <3

On March 2nd, 2012, the world lost a very good man. My Dad, Vicente Atalig. I got the call on March 1st, by my brother & sister. We live in the states, so we're a day behind. I've missed the first couple of calls, so I called them back. It seemed urgent, as I saw various missed calls from both my brother & sister, the same times, multiple calls. I was worried. So I called, my sister answers the phone, she didn't beat around the bush... "Dad died." I couldn't hear anything more after that, I was shocked, confused, angry, hurt, sad.. That was my number one fear in the world, and it happened. Reality sunk in, and I was hysterical!! I kept telling her, "NO WAY, NO WAY!! Please tell me this is a joke." It was no joke. We both broke down in tears & sobbing hysterically like banshees. My whole world fell apart. I'm so grateful my husband held me tight in his arms, I can't even remember a word he said.. all I wanted to do was cry in his arms... and hope that I'd be able to wake up tomorrow, and all this would have been just a bad dream. It was not. It was all too much for me, I thought I've felt heartbreak before in my life, no... this is the worst heartbreak anyone could ever possibly feel, to lose one of your parents.. to lose someone so dear to your heart.. the man that gave me life, who taught me right from wrong, who taught me the value of being a good person, and hard work.. Gone. So suddenly.

So that same night my husband & I packed our bags, and were on the next flight out. First day back home, we attended my Dad's rosary at the church. All I could remember is that I couldn't stop crying when I heard the Techa' & the choir sing the Chamorro church songs and there was a small display table at the front of the church, two lit candles and a framed photo of my Dad. It made it all too real. My eyes filled with tears, and they kept rolling out one after another. Every note of those Chamorro church songs made my heart sink deeper & deeper into my chest.. it was too real, I kept telling myself if only I could just hear my Dad's voice, or laugh.. just ONE LAST TIME, instead of hearing all these Chamorro rosary songs which filled that church. When we got to visit my parent's house, all I could do was sit at our dining table.. thinking that it's all not real, my Dad will just walk through that door like he normally does.. with his big smile, and laugh. He didn't. My heart sank more, and more the longer I sat there and waited.. nothing. :(

I sat there, with my thoughts, with my happy childhood memories of my Dad. MY DAD WAS/IS THE BEST FATHER ANY CHILD COULD HAVE!!! I have nothing but happy, fond memories as a child. My Dad loved to farm, fish, and play cards! Growing up he would always take us to our farm, we had a big family fruit farm, tourists would come by, and my Dad would show them around and at the end of their visit, he would help prepare various fruits on a big green banana leaf for them to try out, fresh from our farm too. He would always save us a lot, my siblings & I were spoiled with fresh pineapples, star apple, papaya, coconuts.. just to name a few. My favorite was the fresh coconut juice, my Dad would use the machete' and cut out the side to make a spoon for us to use to scoop out the coconut meat. That was my favorite! :)

My Dad would also take us fishing at the docks, I remember we never had much money growing up, but my Dad was so creative, he couldn't buy us those fancy rod and wheel fishing poles, so he made us some out of bamboo. I remember my first catch, I was so excited it was moving and squirming around as I held the fishing line proudly to show my Dad!!! "Neni, that's a stone fish" he said, "we can't eat that, 'cause it's poisonous.." he took it off the string and threw it back into the water.

Another of my fondest memories, was of my Dad bringing home goodies after a business trip! He would travel a lot, and one of the places he went most often was to Japan. My siblings and I were always excited when Dad got home from a trip!! We would crowd by the door, he would be smothered in hugs then we'd give him that look like "So now where's the goodies??" haha! He would always bring us back little Japanese toys or Japanese candies & mochi rice cakes. I think that's how come I've grown to love "Asian" things and trinkets as an adult. :)

It's the simple things in life like that, that I remember now as a grown woman. Looking back at it now, it was the most special and important times of my life. My Dad was always a simple man, he lived his life modestly, putting my Mom and his children first. It was my Dad who taught me the value of hard work, and being a person of integrity. He sacrificed a lot to give us, his children a better life. He was a very wise man, someone I could always go to to seek good advice. The last advice he ever gave me was at my wedding last year in July, he stood up in front of everyone, thanked them all for coming, and shared some funny (and embarrassing stories), but also ended his speech with a few good words, he gave us all advice on LOVE.

My Dad's last advice to us was, "It's easy to love each other when times are good, it's when times get tough, is when your love needs to be the strongest."

It was a very bitter sweet moment to get to see my family back home again. Looking back at how hard life is back home, puts everything more into perspective in my life. Family has always been important, but losing my Dad makes me realize that tomorrow is not promised, and that we need to stay connected & communicate often with our loved ones near, and especially far away.. make time for them, because time is a precious thing.

To conclude this, my Dad was an amazing Father. He always sacrificed himself to put others first. What I've learned looking back at everything now, is that although we never had a lot of materialistic things, we had everything we needed to be happy. We had so much love & laughter, and a positive attitude to make the best out of anything we had. That is what matters the most.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD.. We love you, hope there's internet in Heaven.


Love always, Your Daughter (Pauline)

Insanity Challenge & Tips

Insanity vs P90x: So I was debating which fitness program to go on, and in the end I decided on "Insanity" over "P90x." I chose to start my fitness journey with Insanity, because it's only a 2 month challenge and doesn't require any equipment.. it's a lot of intense cardio. P90x is a 3 month program, and does require some equipment. I currently finished day 3 of the Insanity program, and I've decided to challenge myself afterwards to continue to the p90x, just so I will be able to compare the two programs.

My opinion about Insanity: to put it simply, it's a pretty intense 40-50 minute workout per day (that goes on for 2 months) that allows you short breaks in between exercises. Keep in mind you will be SORE SORE SORE after the first couple of days, but that is totally normal. Especially if you haven't been on any type of regular daily workout schedule in a while. I've just finished up my 3rd day on Insanity, and I've come up with some tips that I think might help any of you who are thinking of taking this fitness challenge too.

My Insanity Tips:

First of all, be advised that I am not a doctor, nor health professional! This blog is just a way for me to keep track of my progress and share my personal experiences with my health journey and with the fitness programs that I'm trying out. I just wanted to share what tips & tricks have worked for me, while trying out the INSANITY program..

1. LOTS OF WATER!! I've noticed it really helps to have a big jug of water while on the Insanity program. I have an 8-cup daily JUG that I've purchased at Walmart, and it doesn't just help with my daily workouts, but allow me to get my full 8 cups a day. And it gives me no excuse not to drink more water. Take good sized sips on the breaks, but don't chug too much.. you'll feel full and may feel like throwing up half way through the workout..

2. DO YOUR BEST, FIT TEST: What you have to remember about this part, is that it is exactly that.. just a "test" to see where your current performance level is. Do not be discouraged if you can't do all the workouts, or can't go as fast as anyone in the video, because it's nothing more than a TEST.. which you will realize later that you will be getting better at compared to this first test. Just do the best you can. :)

3. GO AT YOUR OWN PACE: While trying to follow the Insanity workouts, realize that those people are FIT and they are used to these workouts.. you are just starting out so you have to remember that you have to do the workouts AT YOUR OWN PACE.. Shaun T will stress how your "FORM" is more important than trying to catch up to their pace! (Which is ridiculous.. haha) While taking the fitness test, I tried to copy every move they made, and tried to go as fast as they went.. I COULD NOT KEEP UP.. I COULD NOT BREATH!! They were TOO FAST, and strong.. but hey, IT'S OK, you'll get there SOMEDAY, but today you are taking it ONE DAY AT A TIME... I went slow, but tried my best to follow the workouts to a tee.. it's ok, we'll get there someday :)

4. TAKE BREAKS, & BREATH, BREATH, BREATH... The Insanity program will give you breaks, Shaun T will tell you to take a drink of water and check your heart rate & take DEEP BREATHS! During the intense cardio workouts, those people in the video will keep going at their fast pace (because they're pros at this, and they've learned to control their BREATHING).. DO NOT PUSH YOURSELF over your limit, KNOW YOUR LIMIT, and take a break when you need to, to regain your breath.. and ensure that your heart rate slows down before you continue to follow along with them.. and always remember when you feel like passing out, STOP, TAKE DEEP BREATHS, and MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR HEART RATE SLOWER... or you may pass out or throw up!

5. KEEP A TOWEL & TRASH CAN NEAR.. I'm serious, especially on the first two to three days.. I'm not sure if I drank too much water or just not used to workout out that intense without long breaks in between workouts, but half-way into the workouts, I felt like throwing up! It's always better to be safe than sorry, I'm being brutally honest, and sharing my experience.. just a heads up. Also, keep a towel near, you will sweat like no other.

6. CREATE A CALENDAR, & TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME If you've decided to really commit to one of these programs, all I really can say that has helped me is to take it ONE DAY AT A TIME.. Don't stress out over how long this journey will take, just do what you gotta do to make it through each day. I've also set up a calendar especially for my INSANITY workout schedule. I've noticed it has helped so much to keep track to make sure I cross out each day I've completed a workout.


7. EAT RIGHT All I'm going to say about this is that I've been reading up on exercise to diet ratio for losing weight, and found out that losing weight is all about "70 percent diet, and 30 percent exercise." So just keep that in mind while trying any type of workout program. It may not work effectively if you are not changing your eating habits as well. I am not saying go cold turkey on everything unhealthy, but at least make healthier alternatives.. that's a great way to start.. also allow yourself at least 1 day out of the week for a "cheat meal" where you can eat what you want, the key here is to make sure you DO NOT OVER EAT! It's all about portion control, you can have that cake, but how much of it is really the question there. Think small portions, handful. If you train yourself to eat smaller portions, & drink more water.. you will get full faster and train your body to get full with less. You CAN EAT a lot during the day, just be sure to portion your meals throughout the day so you are not eating so much at one sitting. Eating SMALLER PORTIONS throughout the day is the key to a INCREASING METABOLISM to help you lose weight.

8. TAKE YOUR PROTEIN: It's important that while on an intensive workout program such as Insanity, your muscles will tear, so if you feed your body PROTEIN it will help to repair your muscles faster, after these high intensity workouts. My personal favorite protein supplement is GNC's Chocolate flavored protein powder shakes.. you can mix it with either water or milk. I use milk, just for taste preference. :)

Hope this helps, Pauline <3

The Ball is Rolling...... Organization & Meal Menu

The fitness party has started!! The ball is rollingggggggggggggg!!! ;)

So, per my last post.. I mentioned that it would be easier to actually pursue and SERIOUSLY follow through with your health journey by organizing your thoughts and WRITING DOWN your FOOD MENU for the week! By writing it down on paper, you actually have a VISUAL guideline to follow & if you have the motivation to get this done, seeing what you will be doing on a daily basis makes it much easier to reach your fitness goals!

Here was my "creating-my-healthier-food-menu" pro-cess!!

STEP ONE: GROCERY SHOPPING, think "Healthy!"

During my grocery shopping, I didn't actually have too much on my list. I just kept thinking that I wanted SIMPLE, cost efficient meals! I didn't want extravagant meals that required too many ingredients! I'm too lazy, and I don't want to wast too much $$$! I kept it simple, and shopped for ingredients to make quick meals like wraps, sandwiches, grilled or baked chicken/fish. I can get fancy later when I get this locked down, for now... just keep it simple so we can keep a routine going, and create a PLAN that you can easily stick to. You're more likely to succeed if you set simple goals, especially in the beginning of this fitness journey! :)


STEP TWO: ORGANIZATION, write down what you bought & what you currently have in your fridge & pantry.. let's get a food list going, get organized!

When you list your food down, make sure to try to organize them in groups. I kept it simple: MEATS, FRUITS, VEGGIES, etc.. even my HEALTHY SNACK choices, I broke it down into SWEETS & SALTY (for those snack cravings!). After you have this done, you can plan out your meals easier..

For BREAKFAST, I did small portion breakfasts: oatmeal, cereal, boiled eggs, turkey bacon.. etc. LUNCH & DINNER: wraps, sandwiches, baked or grilled meats with brown rice & side salad.. again, I KEPT IT SIMPLE!! If you don't follow your food menu exactly.. it's ok!! It's just a guideline to help you keep track of what you will be cooking for the rest of the week, so you don't have to think about it!! :)

STEP THREE: FOOD JOURNAL, keep track of what you are putting in your body!! Keep wondering why you gained 5 lbs?? Check your FOOD JOURNAL to see why!! ;)

I guess this could be optional, but I started mine & found it very useful, because I feel like someone is watching me, so I'm less tempted to eat unhealthy!! I also feel like I'm being tested, and that motivates me because I love a good challenge & I love aiming to succeed!! :D


PHOTO OF MY FIRST MEAL FROM MY "HEALTHIER" FOOD MENU:

Whole Wheat Turkey Wraps, side Salad, & handful of Blueberries.

Another great tip I will add, is that when preparing your meals, have FUN with it! Make it exciting and something that you can look forward to.. Just pretend that you are on IRON CHEF AMERICA, and that you are preparing a meal to serve to the judges.. but in this scenario, YOU actually get to eat it!! Hahaha!! Make it look pretty, and it'll be fun to eat!! :)


Going to cut this post here, and save my INSANITY fitness test, Day One photos & blog for tomorrow. :) Hope you ladies & gents are hanging in there with me.. we can do this.. let's stay motivated together!! :D WE CAN DO IT!!! I have Faith <3

P.S. I'm so happy & proud that my husband decided to join me on my blog fitness journey as well!! His name is Rante, I love him, and he is AWESOME & WONDERFUL!! Check out his fitness page here: In Pursuit of Fytness...

Week 1 & Some Tips to Eat Healthier

So week one is almost over, and to be brutally honest I've done horribly! Haha! Poor planning on my part, but I've been thinking a lot on how I will be going about this healthy lifestyle change. I've been trying to change my eating habits for the past year, and slowly but surely I've made healthier choices within the past year that I've been trying. I've switched from veggie oil to olive oil, bacon to turkey bacon, bologna to sliced turkey, white rice to brown rice, white bread to wheat bread, Nestle chocolate milk to SILK soy milk.. etc. The point I'm trying to make is that I haven't completely failed. Living a healthier lifestyle needs to be learned, and I'm trying my best to learn about healthier alternatives. :)

I'm choosing to try to "re" learn about healthier portions & how to eat better. I'm going to teach myself how to eat cleaner, & incorporate more exercise in my life.. I'm going to have my setbacks, but each time I fall, I learn something new.. and learn to do things better & more effectively for the next time. :)

---------------------------

For this first week, I exercised 1 day out of the week, and ate clean about 3 days out of the week.. haha. It made me start to seriously think how exactly I'm going to go about this health & fitness challenge to myself. After my husband & I cancelled our gym membership, we got super duper lazy, and fell off track. It's easy to lose motivation, but just don't quit.. if there's even a little fire left, that's good!! All you got to do is re-ignite that passion to get this done, and let's all do this together. As long as you don't give up, you're half way there! :) Sooooooooo....... since my first week back at this fitness challenge went horribly, I'm going list down why.... POOR PLANNING. I didn't fail, but this first attempt was half-ass and lousy! As I let the week just pass me by, I did put a lot of thought into how to go about this better, starting with better eating habits.

I made a list, and I'm going to follow through... I'm going to follow this, and hope it helps you too.


TIPS TO HELP EAT HEALTHIER:


1. BIG JUG OF WATER, purchase or find a big container for your drinking water. One of the biggest things to change is your drinking habits, drinking sweets alone is unhealthy. Soda & other sweet drinks are packed with calories & sugarrrrrrrrrrrrr! If you can't cut out soda completely, try your best to limit yourself. I've cut out soda since high school, but did find myself addicted to teas & unhealthy juices.. I countered that habit by purchasing a gallon jug from Walmart, and try my best to bring it with me wherever I go, it doesn't just allow me to get enough water daily, but you save some $$ by not purchasing those $4-5 large drinks whenever you eat out. Try it out, it really helps. :)

2. HEALTHIER SNACKING, buy healthier snacks! I've noticed that whatever food I have at home, is what I will end up snacking on in the middle of the night when I have the munchies. If you have a lot of junk food in your pantry, you will more likely snack on it especially when you're hungry.. and you'll mostly likely eat if not all, most of it! Choose your snacks wisely. My hubby & I usually get granola bars, fruits, or those instant oatmeal. Recently I've found a good chips alternative, called "Pirate's Booty." I tried the "White Cheddar" and "New York Pizza," it's really lightly seasoned, and I prefer to eat them together!! :)

3. PLAN OUT YOUR MEALS, this is where I notice I've failed whenever I started my health/fitness journey. If you don't plan out your meals for the week, you will most likely go back to your bad eating habits, because you end up getting HUNGRY and when you're tired or lazy you won't cook the healthier meals, but instead look for convenience, so it's easier and more likely that you'll pick up some takeout food or fast food!! I know this too well, because I've done it.. so, we have to plan out our meals!! :)

4. KEEP A FOOD JOURNAL, if you can, keep a food journal to log everything you're eating daily. This will help you track your eating habits, and help you catch your bad eating habits & patterns! Make sure to log down the TIMES when you eat, so that you can look for patterns of what part of the day you tend to eat the most unhealthy. I'm guilty of being too lazy to keep up with these food journals, but I will purchase a composition notebook and try this out as well.

5. CHEAT DAY, Allow yourself ONE day out of the week to have your cheat meal. I'm allowing myself once a week, since I'm starting back up.. and I will try to work myself up to once every 2 weeks & so forth..

Hope this helps, I'm going to get to planning out my meals tomorrow.. it'll also help when grocery shopping! :)

Love & Healthy thoughts, Pauline

Plan of Attack...

Trying to figure out my plan of attack.. I've been concentrating on eating cleaner the past 2 days, I haven't jumped back into a work out routine just yet. It's easier when you have a workout partner, and my hubby is usually my workout bud! He's been working the past couple days, so I'm going to just figure out a simple routine on my own.. Went on Pinterest for some motivation & to find some exercise ideas, and found these neat diagrams & daily workout chart. Going to make my own, so I can actually feel the need to do them on a daily basis. I'm a "LIST" person, and usually make things happen when I turn it into a physical list/chart that I tell myself that I HAVE TO ABSOLUTELY GET THIS DONE... and I love checking things off my list!! :)
