Fitness February!

Ok so I messed up January. I didn't go to the gym and I didn't exactly stick to me diet. So I am making the commitment to get back on track in February. FITNESS FEBRUARY! I have already rejoined my gym and workout out the past 2 days. I have also stuck to my diet, starting watching The Biggest Loser, and listening to the JIllian Michaels' podcast to get re-inspired.

My tumblr helps A LOT! The people on there are so inspiring! I make sure I check that everyday to find inspiring photos and such. My sister's wedding is now 4 months away. I also was asked to be in 2 more weddings in December so more inspiration to continue working out.

So on to Fitness February. I am challenging myself to work out all month and eat healthy. Wish me luck!

196!!!

So I have been M.I.A. for a bit on this blog. I have been updating a lot more on my Tumblr page.

So I am down to 196! Which means I am 16 pounds down from this summer! My friend Tracy commented on it last night. I was nice to hear that someone can see the results, because when I look in the mirror I still feel 212lbs.

Hooray!!!!!  Hopefully I can maintain over he holidays, but Christmas only comes once a year so I am not going to deprive myself. However once I get back January 2 I will be back to the gym and such. Getting closer to my sister's wedding. I should see if her dress fits me yet. I haven't tried it on since early October.

My boss got me a Fitbit for Xmas which track the steps you take and the calories your burn. So that will help me once I start cracking down again in the New Year. It's crazy to see how many steps you take. I can't wait to start setting goals and such!

Happy Holidays Everyone!

can't weight!

Such an inspiration!

I bought new running shoes!

I recently noticed that my old running shoes were getting so bad my toe starting sticking out of the side. So I got new shoes over the weekend and have been pumped about trying to working them in. I have been going to the gym, taking hikes on my lunch break, and doing stretches in my living room.

I didn't lose any weight this week, but I stayed the same so that is better then gaining. I want so bad to get out of the 200s. I am so close. I am going to work my ass off this week so I can get there.

My bridesmaids dress comes in in December and I am adamant on making it fit me. I have been a size 13-14 for as long as I can remember, however somehow over the past year I became a size 16. I ordered the dress in my usual size 14 so I am praying I fit in it when it comes. I am actually hoping it is too big on me so I have to  take it in! Wouldn't that be a great feeling?!

I want this body. I have a long way to go. I ordered a book by Jillian Michaels recently that I can't wait to read. She has such a no bullshit/no excuses attitude. That is what I need.

I recently finished a book called Half-Assed. It is about a women who was 372lbs and lost half her body weight! How incredible is that! I obviously don't need to lose have my body weight, but it still helped to read it.

These two photos sum up what I have wanted forever.  have never had a flat stomach. I have had rolls for as long as I can remember. I was probably born with a fat roll. Until recently, I came to terms with the fact that I would always be chubby. But now after reading people's weight loss blogs and reading, I am feeling motivated that I will actually be able to do this.

The girl is my starting weight and end goal. I hope I can achieve this by next summer. Fingers crossed and gym shoes on!

30 Day Shred

Last night I did the 30 Day shred by Jillian Michaels for the first time. It was killer. It isn't very long (about 25 minutes), but you bust your ass the entire time. I liked it and I am definitely feeling it today.

Usually I use the elliptical and then lift weight and finish with stretches, but last night I did a lot of lunges, squats, and more that I have been forgetting about and now my muscles can feel where I have been slacking off. I am going to try and incorporate her workouts into my week more often.

I love her!
