Mini workout

Hi there....I just completed a mini workout.  Having some bronchial issues so didn't want to push it too much.  Summer is just around the corner and now that I'm OFFICIALLY single I want to look good.  Not for anyone else, but for ME.  I want to hold my head high and have the look of total confidence.  This workout probably didn't even take me 10 minutes, but I was totally out of breath which shows me how out of shape I am.  Just one round (which I will do 3 eventually) was just good enough for a start for me.  Now, I need to do a little food shopping and get some healthy food in here.  My body is a temple and I need to treat it as such.

Good Week

I had a good week of eating 95% clean and exercising.  I was REALLY sore for a couple of days, but doing just fine now.

I'm gonna make it 2 weeks of clean eats and exercise!!!  I'm also drinking my water like a good girl too.

Weight of course is up and down a little, (damn hormones).  But today it was 141.8.  I just can't wait to be in the 130s again.  Goal is mid to lower 120s.

Let's make this a good week!

Once agan....

Ok, so here we go again.  I started eating clean and exercising on Monday.  Going to be working out at home, since I can't afford my gym membership anymore and lost it.  I have a treadmill and some weights, I can DO THIS! 

Last week I weighed in at 148.8 lbs.

Monday morning I weighed in at 145.2 lbs.

This morning I weighed in at 142.2 lbs. 

Yes!  I'm feeling better already!!

It's amazing what drinking alcohol 2-4 times a week and eating take out 2-4 times a week will do to your body.  Well, maybe NOT amazing, but wow.  I knew I was gaining weight, my clothes were beginning to get VERY tight on me and not look good anymore.  But, even though I was beginning to feel VERY uncomfortable about my body, it wasn't stopping me from eating crap and drinking.  My *boyfriend* kept telling me I was beautiful and didn't need to lose weight and I kept thinking; 'Well, if HE still loves me and thinks I'm beautiful, why bother?'  But now that WE aren't a thing anymore, it's time to get back to being ME.

So, I'm getting my meal plans together....very simple, easy stuff.  Have to make it simple, need to save as much money as possible since I'm on a very tight budget, and I do WAY better on 'simple'.  I'm also figuring out an exercise plan and starting off simple and not real easy, but easier than I'm used to.  I don't want to get all sore and hurt and then wimp out.  I'm already sore just from Monday and Tuesday and didn't work out yesterday so I need to go even easier. 

I KNOW that I will achieve my goals this year.  I've learned a lot this past year and I KNOW what I need to do now.  I'm grateful for having gone through the pain and sorrow because it makes me a stronger person and helps me to see clearly what it is I need and want. 

So, here's to ME!!!! 

Today

Well, after going through some crap, I've decided it's once again time to focus on me.  Clean eating and hittin' the gym.  I might decide to do stats and pics, but it's not about body image this time.  It's about mentally feeling better and health.  I keep getting older each day that goes by and I don't want to be on meds and visiting the doc all the time.  So, in light of that, chicken is in the crock and I'm headin' to the gym for the first time in MONTHS.  There are no more excuses, if it's truly what I want then this is the time.

Giddy-up.

Oh yeah, baby!

Feelin' strong!  I'm kickin' butt in the gym and kickin' eatin' clean too!  I broke down and had a egg, bacon wrap from Tim Horton's this morning.  Just didn't have time to make breakfast.  That's the ONLY off meal I've had in a couple weeks.  I'm waiting for the ok to get on the scale.  I can FEEL changes happening.  My muscles are growing and I'm feeling tighter all over.  I'm sore most of the time too.  LOVE IT.  It just feels so good to be so focused on ME for a change.  Drinkin' my water like it's runnin' out of style too.  Mmmmm.....tastes so damn good.  Better than a beer!  Can't wait to see what I can do with this body!
