Ambresssa blog is going to semi-retire, friends. You can still keep track of my shenanigans on my website www.ambernimedez.com and my otha blog www.lilmissfit.blogspot.com
Booyah.
Will probably throw in some random blurbs here, but eventually my rambling will merge into one ...
Happy reading.
Am to the Ber.

whoa
funny how one opportunity leads you to another.
egoscue sd-egoscue la-msfitness-vegas-la-livefit studio-egoscue seattle-LIFE-seattle-fremont-la.
along the way i've run into and met so many people. new people, new friends, old friends, and super old friends. some/most very meaningful.
what i often visualize is walking in someone else's shoes. seeing life from another perspective. one in particular right now. a dear friend of mine, a long time friend.. since we were 8 years old... is picking up shop and movin out of the country. not by choice, by career. i am just thankful for reconnecting and catching up on life...timing is everything and it just so happened we were literally in and out of the same 3 cities around the same time- coincidence? i think not.
this is why everything happens for a reason. somewhat sad to see a friend move out of the country, but at the same time, what an amazing opportunity. i certainly wish i could just pack up and leave sometimes... although, i do think thats in the cards for me. it's all in the gameplan.
thought i'd just write a few words about that tonight, because, well, its just a friendly reminder that you never know where you'll be at any given certain time. Here for a year or two, there for 10 years or so, tomorrow a whole new world, out of your comfort zone where you have to just go with the flow. if an opportunity comes up, take it and run with it. you might not know why at the time, but its almost always for good reasons. follow your instinct :) Let go of comfort and see the unknown. Take that leap of faith...

can't sleep tonight
flannel pj pants,
a long sleeve sweater top
some super
thigh high
white socks
from american apparel.
an empty apartment
a girl who can't sleep
wide awake and maybe anxious.
tomorrow may
or maybe not
the opportunity
almost there.
please don't disappoint me.
i don't know why
but it always seems to happen
i dream it and see it
and then its taken away.
by something
by someone
a slap in the face
for no apparent reason
let down
let go
oh wait, once more, its there, its back
please stay, don't go,
don't disappoint.
let down, no way
not me
ever again.
a sigh, some warmth, my bed.
heavy eyes
maybe its time
i fall
and drift
i. need. you.

train harder
having an issue with training these days. i need a consistent training partner and i'd like a new gym..... bleeehhhhh. I can't seem to bring myself to join Equinox, but most of my fitness competitor buddies go there and its just nice to work out with people who have the same goals. I just can't afford it. boo. There has to be a better way.
soo... i saw a video taken of me and i nearly fainted. lol. I've been trying to gain and maintain my weight of 115, but think I am going to drop 10lbs, immediately. all i saw was bad posture, no tone, and all the ice cream i have been eating the last few days gone to my face! arrgg. I should have that all in check.
Proposed plan of action... i need a schedule. Here's my attempt:
Besides the cardio that i get from work- which is:
Mon - bike ride
tues- cardio beach run
wed- spin
thur- cardio beach run
fri- sand dunes
I am going to add on:
Mon- power yoga 6:30p
Tues- 6a-7a Circuit works 6:30p-8p power yoga
wed- gymnastics 7p
Thur- 6a-7a Circuit works 6:30p-8p power yoga
Fri- power yoga 6:30p
This is going to be a struggle, considering I AM NOT AN EARLY BIRD. But things have to change. Beware of crankiness, lord knows I can't fall asleep till 1:30A every night. K, its documented. Must do what's documented.
Trying to stay focused... there should be no excuse not to stay to follow this. Starts Monday... after my OSCAR WEEKEND of hosting The Red Carpet :)

fitness-fun-fam
Went to the Fit Expo and ran into my sista sista! Nicole trained me last year around this time... and it was great to see her. Girl's got some power and I aspire to be just as successful as she was when she competed. She won Fitness America back in 2000, and is back in the game in her second year competing in the PRO division.
So funny thinking about training with her... every single session, we always got asked if we were sisters. Never failed. Two small powerhouses right here :)
-----
The other night I went out with some old Lu's... I just have to say... I understand exactly why I ended up there last year. I am so grateful for all the lulu's I connected with. They are the kind of friends I will have for life... the kind of people who are always positive, share the same kind of energy and look at life from a realistic point of view... keeping it real, no judgement, dream like there is no tomorrow... believe in them, goal set and achieve them. True, amazing friends!!

My mom is coming to town... and so is Bonaldo! (Hm, Bonaldo is my sister's nic name "bon" and my bro in laws nic name "naldo" put together). They try to come down to celebrate Naldo's bday every year and it's about that time again! Nalds! you are getting old! Teehee... I can get away with saying that.. he is my bro!! I think we are going to dinner at Versailles ... the BEST Cuban food here... yummy! There goes my diet. Anyhow, the mother is flying in Thurs... I'm hoping she'll participate in my work day. I really want to her come to boot camp and training to see what it's like. Bonaldo flies in Fri. It's gonna be a full house with ALL Nimedez girls. Poor Nalds.
Pics will be posted!!

a few days old
Inspired by many recent thoughts and a new favorite song by Adele "Chasing Pavements"
Written a few days ago, didn't feel like posting... but might as well.
When you know, you know
Stop thinking if you are doubting
Let your instinct pull you through
a chance, you better take it.
If it doesn't feel right
understand the risk is always better
then staying where you are.
What if you don't,
the staleness
the comfort
the reality.
Stray away and leap
leap into the pure innocence that you don't have to try for.
Right in front of your eyes
the epitome of what you dream.
Awake and it's there,
do you take it,
do you leave it,
do you sit and wonder?
I wonder.
I wonder if it's worth it,
is it all in my head,
is it my reality
or is it my dream...
It is my dream
right in front of my face
a risk i am willing
for just a moment of pure bliss,
i know in the end
it is worth taking that chance.
"Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere"
