Serious Business!

Hi everyone! Long time no blog!  =)

I'm spreading out my posts more lately because I don't have a TON to say so I'd rather do longer posts less often then short ones all the time.

For the past 5 weeks I've been working out consistently and I'm really impressed/proud of myself. In the past I'd work out hard for a week and then be like "ok that's good" and then I'd loose motivation and stop. I'm not doing anything hardcore, just 45 minutes of walking. I think part of my success has had to do with the fact that I am not doing it alone, my mom and I walk together. Also, my goal is walking 6 days per week 5 at the very least if I'm real busy that week and I won't skip two days in a row. Every time I skip that extra day, that is when I usually don't return to working out.

I have also been consistently doing my Jackie Warner circuit training and that alone with walking has really toned me! My weight is holding steady around 157lbs but I have to measure because I know I've lost inches. The Jackie DVD has a legs, abs, and arms workout and I've been doing each twice a week but I'm not so concerned with my legs and abs as much as my arms especially seeing I have a cruise coming up in 7 weeks! From here on out I think I am going to 3 days of arms, one of abs, and one of legs. The abs and legs will be in-between the days I do arms of course.

I have been doing a little better with food. For lent I gave up Candy and for once in my life I actually completed (well we are almost there) something I said I was going to do for lent, so it's been almost 40 days, no candy! I am going to continue this. I'm not saying I can't have chocolate but no like legit candy pieces or candy bars, I don't need the sugar stick lol. Also I'm not sure how long its been but for a few weeks now I have decreased the size of my Macchiato from starbucks down to a medium and get out the extra caramel. I've been saving myself like 200 calories just right there.

Over the next few weeks I'm really trying to focus on my nutrition even more. I put my bodybugg back on today and am going to use it religiously. I really want to get back to 150lbs by the cruise. It's only 7lbs, I can do it!

I hope you are all well, thanks for reading!!!  =)

10 weeks!

I have been a workout machine lol. I have not missed a day at the gym in over 9 days!!! Now that I have focused on working out I need to continue that and add in a better focus on nutrition. Slowly but surely right?

 

I bought a pair of size 6 jeans a while back as inspiration and I tried them on the other day. They are still tight and give me a bit of a muffin top but I'm nothing like the sausage I use to be trying to squeeze into them lol. It feels good to know that even though the scale isn't moving right now, I'm toning and firming. Something's happening!!

 

I've also been walking at lunch time. I really hope I keep up with these changes I've made because they make me feel really good about myself and that is a nice feeling to have. =) 10 weeks until my cruise!!! My goal is 1lb per week! Let's see if it happens!!
