JJ's Ab Book

I made this one a video instead. Pardon the fuzziness- I might need a new webcam?  What do you think?

If you haven’t heard yet, I am moving. My husband and I found an amazing home in the exact location we wanted.  We have 30 days but we started moving on Feb 27th!  Every day I pack boxes.  Every day.
Tomorrow is my birthday and the celebrations start TONIGHT.
I am under the gun with this deadline [...]

I am taking a break from writing the book to share something that happens every time I get a workout in outside in a public area.
This is something I have watched and silently conversed about in my head for YEARS.  When I was rollerblading last week it dawned on me to share my internal dialogue [...]

It’s 9pm and I still have some biceps, triceps and abs to do before bed because I have 4 days until Book Photo Shoot Day #1- oh my.

I bought myself flowers today after my workout because I have been feeling the need to acknowledge myself to myself!  That might sound funny but what happens when [...]

I just did the day count.  16 days til I do my first photo shoot for the book.  What do I have to get done in this time?
1. Tan- started that yesterday and plan to go 2-3 times a week
2. Workouts- up them to 4-5 times a week from 3-4 and add more abs and [...]

I think this is when it really sets in.  I have to be photographed with my midsection showing!!!  OMG!!!
You may think, “but you are a trainer, shouldn’t you expect this and be comfortable with this?”
Ha ha.
First of all, I can hang out naked in the spa with my girlfriends or go to the beach just [...]

Thus begins the journey of the ever changing project that you can’t get perfect even if you try.  So with that in mind, I am working on the shot list today and not getting too attached to any of it since it will most likely shift and change.
This is a good metaphor for life, no?  [...]
