How did summer arrive so quickly?  What to do now that summer is here- well, if you listen to mainstream media and all the advertising you have to be in a bathing suit and daisy duke shorts.  This is what I think about that - BLANKETY BLANK OFF.  
Summer can be a lot of fun but there can also be a lot of pressure to be dressed how I mentioned above.  I consider myself to be fit however, I'm a big girl and I would NEVER even think of being dressed in daisy duke shorts- FUCK THAT!!!


Now it's not just peers pressuring one to be a certain way it's all seasons!  I love summer- but hell no am I going let mainstream advertising tell me how to dress.  Yes, I do like being in shorts but shorts that are right for me and that I'm comfortable in.  After all if one is dressed comfortably than one is able to own a room.


So now here's how I let summer work for me:


Fresh and natural vitamin D and exercise!  Whatever you do- do it outside!!!  PERIOD!!!

IT'S WEDNESDAY- AGAIN...

YES, It is Wednesday- again, but at least it's the LAST Wednesday of the week!!!  Things get tough- life- I suppose that encompasses everything!  My Wednesday started out tough but I've already done something to make it better and to make me feel better.  Any clue as to what it is...???  EXERCISE!  Funny thing about exercise- it gets the circulation going at 100% which in turns gets the body working at it's maximum which in yet another turn releases the HAPPY chemicals in the brain to turn that frown upside down!!!  Another great thing to do after exercise is to do something that makes you feel good- within reason of course-  One of my fave things to do is to hang out at Starbucks (which is where I am now writing this post) and enjoy the scenery-  people watching is awesome and interesting wrapped all into one!


So whatever IT is- do something about it to tackle the IT.

PART OF ME

PART OF ME by Katy Perry with comments by Trainer Tonia~


OH BOY... Those of you that have had my mountain class you know how I start it... 
"I'm not going to lie to you- it's Wednesday and it's the hardest day of the week and we are about to begin mountain class which is the hardest class.  BUT let's not succome to Wednesday- let's own IT and let's do it together!"


So to continue with my blunt honesty, this blog is about me that I would like to share with you- it's about life and relationships- and the other day I was in my car and the song PART OF ME by Katy Perry came on and my response was WOW.  So than I put my ipod on and listened to the song again and again.  The words are hers but the emotions are universal.  Read the words and than listen to the song:

Days like this I want to drive away
Pack my bags and watch your shadow fade
You chewed me up and spit me out
Like I was poison in your mouth
You took my light, you drained me down
But that was then and this is now
Now look at me

[Chorus:]
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you’re not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no

I just wanna throw my phone away
Find out who is really there for me
You ripped me off, your love was cheap
Was always tearing at the seams
I fell deep, you let me down
But that was then and this is now
Now look at me

[Chorus]

Now look at me I’m sparkling
A firework, a dancing flame
You won't ever put me out again
I’m glowin’, oh whoa
So you can keep the diamond ring
I never liked it anyway
["Complete Confection" version of a song says: "It don't mean nothing anyway"]
In fact you can keep everything yeah, yeah
Except for me

[Chorus]

This is the part of me
No
Away from me
No
This is the part of me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me...
No
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you’re not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no

Now that you've read the words and have listened to the song- get out and bust a lung and own the day.  It's up to you, me & US to do this- we have the power to make positive changes in our lives- not them!


to all current guest- on Monday May 7th. I will play PART OF ME at least once in every class- when I do I want to hear a WE GOT THIS GRL!!!


Love,
your Trainer Tonia
