HITTING THE CONCRETE by Evita on July 30, 2010

The beginning of my lifestyle transformation: circa 2006-2008

Before Alicia Keys and Jay-Z coined the term ‘concrete jungle’ in the new age NYC theme song Empire State of Mind, it was more readily know as the term for the city donning an abundance of concrete streets, and the attitude to match. Fair enough.

Today, it represented my running workout around the Bronx. I have a daily workout routine that I can say gets done more than it doesn’t. Obviously, this whole peep show into my life, via Jet Set Zero has just started so there’s a few things you guys don’t know yet.

For example, I currently weigh about 60 pounds less than what I did when I started traveling back in 2006. Hence the very real photo posted above. I debated on putting another, more recent, photo up to give you a glimpse into what I look like now. Then I realized, there’s no suspense in that at all. You’ll have to wait and see. (HINT: Photo is -47, and I’m now at -55ish)

What does this mean in regards to Jet Set Zero?

As of right now, all three of the countries we’ve narrowed down as possibilities involve serious beach interaction. We’re all probably going to me in a bathing suit, more than not.

As a person, but more specifically, as a woman this can go either way in regards to becoming a beautiful nightmare.

As always, it’s more about the health for me than it is the need to be skinny. I don’t play that skinny card. I’m a tall, full-figured woman, with the curves to confirm it. I’d have it no other way!

So, I am whipping my ass into shape. This is officially part of my prep for this trip!

Priorities:

Money: Huh?

Job (sss): Current freelance gig ends next week, shooting nightclubs, looking for any and everything!

Fitness: Hitting the concrete!

    I must first give you credit for posting the before and after pictures- that was very brave, and REAL. I love the progress you’ve made- You look happier, healthy, and more confident ( this is just by looking at the photos). I know working out is a personal struggle, but like EVERYTHING in life- its hard work, determination, and sweat will pay off. YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL. & CONGRATS TO YOU!

    @Jillian You already know!

    @Gerri Thanks love! I’ve put this up a few times in different areas over the years. It’s always a great reminder as to where I’ve been and what I’ve accomplished. It puts many things in perspective. I think the first time I ever posted it, I was nervous and embarrassed. At this point, I use it for the same reason everyone else does.
