Swimsuit reveal with Nayad Swim Gym. HOLLA!

June 7, 2013 By yumyucky 21 Comments

Slapping on some workout clothes in your closet vs. being comfortable in a swimsuit is two totally different things. Nayad Aqua Sportswear helped me pull off this swimsuit reveal with custom-fit comfort and confidence… HOLLA!

But Nayad gear ain’t just for walking on the beach all day lookin’ sexy. Their active lifestyle swimwear features a ton of different fits and styles, and can be worn for running, biking, yoga-ing, tennis, lifting heavy cake slices, body-slamming your noisy neighbors, couch-azzing, and other stuff you wanna do real bad in the utmost comfort and style.

I hate it when a store doesn’t have my swimsuit size, or the suit fits wonky & weird and I just have to deal with it. Yet everything by Nayad is custom made to your specific measurements and the style that’s most desirable & flattering for YOU. Whether you want skimpy, or more torso/bust coverage, you can have it in the style & color(s) you want.

Thank you, dear Nayad, for outfitting, adorning & beautifying me with your awesomeness. It’s the most comfortable swimsuit I’ve ever worn!

You should totally play around with the Nayad Visualizer to “design” your perfect Aqua outfit. And don’t you dare go nowhere without peeping the short Nayad vid I made. Yep. There’s more of my swimsuit reveal pics in the video. (thanks for watching. xo!)

…and here’s a 10% off Nayad coupon for all you lovely peoples. Use promo code “YumYucky” to experience discounted Nayad splendor.

How the hell is the woman in the coupon doing that pose? I’d break my pelvic-thrusters if I tried that.

Dressing room pics!

June 5, 2013 By yumyucky 19 Comments

Errr, ummm. Fully clothed, of course…

My first dressing room pics ever! But nope. I didn’t buy either of these dresses. Bought me some casual booty shorts instead. It was the most bootylicious decision I’d made all day.

And ya, I joined Bodybuilding.com’s free 6 Week Challenge. It’s a body transformation thang. The challenge starts June 17th. Although I don’t expect to win the grand prize ($10,000!), I’m using the challenge for increased accountability. My goal is to get lean and build muscle.

Here’s more deets for the challenge in case you’re looking to make some game-changing progress along with me…

I’m so excited about this! I intend to be extra-on-point with my eating and workouts over these next 6 weeks and beyond. I can’t wait to see what type of progress I can achieve. I’ll be posting my before pic for the challenge real soon. Even if this type of challenge isn’t your thing, make sure you have some type of accountability system in place.

My profile on BodySpace is: http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/YumYucky

…and here’s a pic of my first body transformation meal from yesterday. Delicious stuff, flat abs friendly and excellent for building sexy muscle. I’ll be posting most of my meals to my Facebook page, so stalk me over there if you dare! XO

Workout Motivation: Speed Rope, Cardio Cartwheels and Quads Blast

June 3, 2013 By yumyucky 19 Comments

Video mash-up from two of my recent workouts. Don’t let those Cardio Cartwheels fool ya. 50 cartwheels in a row will damn sure help the fatty parts to melt. I did the squat pulses & sexy(?) legs stretches in-between loads of laundry. Had to squeeze in that leg work somehow. ((winks))

Some of my fitness tools from the video:

NOW GO KICK SOME AZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t usually write personal-ish posts, but here it goes…

May 31, 2013 By yumyucky 27 Comments

Over the last few days I’ve been a little bit quieter on Facebook and Twitter. Took a little time to step back a bit and assess where I’m at. Thought about where I want to be. Plotting the course to take me there.

One thing I know for sure certain is that haven’t yet given it my all. Not yet.

My personal fitness is something I take very seriously. It’s my passion — my joy. Blogging is as well. And in the spirit of following my passions, there’s a fire burning in me to do greater things. This is me, merely thinking out loud. And so I figured, why not share my thoughts with you because you will probably witness me on this journey if you’re a regular reader of the blog.

There’s a price to pay to “achieve”. I have to count the cost — I’ve finally done it. Up until now I wasn’t fully invested in the idea of paying that premium.

It’s too hard. It’s too painful. It’s too uncomfortable. It’s too inconvenient. It takes too much time. These truths of the matter have interfered with me one too many times. I may have to gnaw on less cake(s), refrain from extended couch-azzing, and no doubt do better about keeping the deadlines I set for myself. Gotta follow-through on everything and run a tight ship.

Dammit! The discomforts are killin’ me already.

SACRIFICE ♥ DISCIPLINE ♥ A SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE

This is what I require of myself.

OMGeeeee. Raw Honey!

May 29, 2013 By yumyucky 24 Comments

Unheated. Unfiltered. Nothing removed. You must get your claws on some raw honey.

You won’t find this stuff in the regular grocery store. I got mine at the Amish farmer’s market.

But do not fret! You can haz yours, too. I stumbled upon the Honey Locator website (run by the National Honey Board). The site helps you locate not only raw honey in your surrounding area, but also the suppliers that have specialty honeys, like whipped, organic, kosher, and even honey combs.

As for raw honey, the texture is grainy, but melts down nice and smooth, and blends well. Raw honey is especially delicious in a hot cup of tea.

Cinnamon & Honey Natural Remedy: I recently became very interested in the benefits of cinnamon and honey together. Every now and then, I take 1 teaspoon of raw honey and sprinkle with a generous amount of cinnamon. Then I devour it. NOM! Not only is it tasty, but it does the body good. There’s also some talk that the cinnamon & honey combo has weight loss benefits, but the jury is still out on that one.

I will bet you a gazillion-billion dollars (because I’m rich, beyotch) that if you try raw honey you will never want that golden stuff they sell in the plastic bear at the grocery story. Keep your eyeballs peeled back and on the lookout for raw honey. M’kay?

Ps. I confess, dammit! I’m not really rich. Somebody give me a loan so I can buy me some desserts. Anyone? … anyone?

((All I hear is crickets.))
