Back to working out
Im so excited!!! Now that I don’t have anymore pain from getting my wisdom teeth I get to go back to the gym! I haven’t been in a little over a week. And that’s pretty rough on me since I am usually there like 4 times a week. Anyhow, I am weighing in next Tuesday which is when I will be taking a progress picture (which I am very nervous about) So needless to say I will be doing...

Rugged Maniac Mud Run
The mud run was very fun!!! We finished it in an hour. It was a little different running on the grass so I had to stop a lot more than I normally do when I run which slowed us down a little bit. AND I learned that next time I should not wear any kind of pants unless they are spandex material because the mud weighs them down so much that you have to hold them up. Other than that I did 15 out of 18...

Vibram 5 finger shoes
For anyone who is wondering how the running is going with my new Vibram 5 finger shoes……..it’s pretty good so far.

On another note, THEY KILL MY CALVES!!!! I dont know what it is about them but...

On another note, My weigh in is in 2 weeks on March 6th and I will be getting measured to! I am so...

Today I am going to attempt to go on a run! I’m excited but nervous. I just hope I don’t feel a lot of pain from it.
Also Soon I will be putting up a before and During picture. I have been really nervous to do so but...

Wisdom teeth=gone
Well…..yesterday I got my wisdom teeth taken out. I am in such bad pain right now, but I am glad they are gone. However my diet hasn’t really been to good. Yesterday I had one meal and it was potato bacon soup. Today I have had Broccoli Cheddar soup from panera and mashed potatoes. That is really all I can eat. I guess the soup is somewhat health. But as soon as I can eat I will get...

Valentines Day
Today me and my fiance went out to dinner for Valentines day. It didn’t go to good for me lol. We went to Olive Garden…..that should be enough said but I’ll go ahead and tell you what I had anyways! I had a salad, breadsticks and the worst was the chicken alfredo. I feel like such a big blob right now. I know I will be able to work it off but man I am just so full.
Here’s...

this week
So this week will be kind of slow for me fitness-wise. I wasn’t able to go today and won’t be able to go tomorrow. Then Thursday I am getting my wisdom teeth out so I can pretty much disregard the weekend for working out. So tonight I am going running even though it is freezing outside. I have to get some kind of activity in. I will say that I have been eating very healthy though! I...

I'm a little of a slacker
I don’t really know whats up I just know I am in a funk. I am still going to the gym about 3-4 times a week but my workouts have been really on the easy side. I haven’t really pushed myself. I am just trying to work through the funk though, that way I can get back to my workouts that actually challenge me! Hope you guys are doing a little better than I am.

the scale
It is teasing me. It sits in the corner at the gym staring at me!! I wanted to weigh myself sooooo bad tonight but guess what…….I didn’t.
I dont know if I can handle this until March lol.

small goal weight
Also I decided to make a smaller goal weight for now! I don’t want to feel so far away from my goal. So my Ultimate Goal Weight is 140. My small goal weight is 180. Hopefully I can get there by April. I think that is a good enough time.

this weekend
So this weekend I allowed myself to eat something that I wanted for the superbowl. I had some chips and cheese. And guess what today I am right back on track. I love that feeling of being bale to eat something I want and easily step up and get back on it. This lifestyle is getting a little bit easier!

Running again!!! (Rugged Maniac)
Also I forgot to tell ya’ll……My fiance and I just signed up last night for a mudrun called the Rugged Maniac!
Back in November and December I would go running at least 3 times a week. Since I joined the gym I have only been running on the treadmill. By the way treadmills are A LOT easier to run on than the road or sidewalk! So since we signed up I decided I need to start running...

no more scale!
Yesterday I was at they gym and stepped on the scale. As I was walking away my personal trainer yelled to me and said “Hey! You are not supposed to be weighing until March!”
I didn’t know that! I thought I was just not supposed to be measuring until March. This is gonna be so hard! I am a big time scale person no matter how big or small of a change it is. He told me not to step...

By The Way
Since January is over thought I would recap.
SW: 205 CW: 199 Total loss in JAN: 6lbs
GW: 140
Some differences I am seeing: I crave sodas less (hardly at all) which is a big deal being that I used to pretty much be addicted! Also when I smell fast food I don’t give in….at the beginning I would have most likely given in! I also LOVE working out now! Of course I have a day here and...

this class will kill you ;)
I took a power pump class tonight and it was the hardest workout ever! My chest muscles have never worked so hard. I swear my boobs were shaking cuz the muscles were working so hard lol. It was a very intense class. The only think I didn’t like much was the instructor. She was okay just came off a little rude. I know I am going to be hurting bad tomorrow!

itsabrokenhallelujah asked: I'm writing in your ask box for a little more room lol. I like chicken either cut up and cooked on the stove in a little bit of olive oil and garlic or I put it on my george foreman grill and that gets a little crispy on the outside. I've also made "fried" chicken baked in the oven with corn flake bread crumbs on the outside. Also, how are you preparing your spinach tomorrow?...

Uh-Oh
So I guess I did something kinda bad tonight!!! I didn’t eat dinner! When I left the gym I was going straight to my friends house. I didn’t want to get fast food so I just decided I would not eat anything and have my spoonful of peanut butter when I get home! I know it’s bad but I really didnt want to get fast food. Also I didn’t do day 3 of Jillian’s 30 day shred...

Finished my second day of jillian michaels 30 day shred. I’m pretty sore from yesterday but i don’t know if it was from that or working out at the gym. Anyways I would recomend that work out it is like a circuit workout which are usually good to keep your heart rate up!

some kind of scale change
ALSO…….I forgot to tell everyone I am down to 197.5!! I know that’s not a huge change I started about 3 1/2 weeks ago, so it’s only like a 7.5lbs drop, but it’s nice to see some kind of results on the scale!

30 day shred
I know I am going to the gym pretty much every day of the week….sometimes maybe 4 times….but….today I started the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred as well!!! I’ve heard lots of good things about it so I figured what the heck! It was a pain in the butt, but I think I can do it! Also my sister is doing it with me so thats always fun!

sodas
I really can’t believe how easy its been to not drink sodas! I think the reason why is because I’m not telling myself that I’m not allowed to. I am seriously addicted to carbonated drinks. When my trainer said no sodas I was like um…..that’s not gonna work. He told me I could have one soda a day and I seriously have had maybe like 2 whole sodas in the last 3 weeks. I...
Here is a great routine I think I will start doing →
This website is awesome. There are so many different routines on here!

a little frustrated......
So I went to the gym tonight. I meet with my trainer on Tuesdays. I weighed myself only to find that I am at 201! I started out at 205 on like Jan. 8th or so and I was down to like 198 in the first week and a half. So it’s just kind of frustrating that I have gained 3 pounds back!
I told my trainer how upset I was and he told me to give it time and that at least I lost and that I am gaining...

why do i have to have such a good sense of smell
So today I figured out what my least favorite part of the day is. I hate being at work when lunchtime rolls around. Its the worst! Everyone gets something different to eat…usually fast food and it smells sooo good! I enjoy the lunch that I eat which usually turns out to be chicken breast broccoli and a rowheat roll or some brown rice! But something about that fried chicken or Burger smell...
So, I'm looking for some weight loss/fitspo blogs~
jeriception:
So reblog if you’re a weight loss or fitspo blog. It’d be best if you were in my weight range too, like, 210-190. That way it’s easier to connect. c:
I actually just started out with all this too but I am in that weight range and would love to see your progress as well!

Goal time!!!
Just want to put some of my goals out there!!!
Short term goal…..I would like to lose 20 pounds before summer. So maybe around May. I am about 200 right now so I’d like to be around 180 then. I just want to feel comfortable on the beach instead of self conscious the whole time.
Long term goals……I would eventually like to lose about 60 to 70 pounds. I would like to go...

I would love to go to the gym tonight but might just run around the neighborhood instead since we already had plans :( I’m so proud of myself for being...
back on track
So this is the most consistent I have been with working out and eating right in forever. I’ve tried lots of stuff in the past and always gave up. In November I started running at least 3 times a week. I used to HATE running and I don’t know what happened to make me love it but I do now. Then I joined a gym on December 28th. I felt kind of lost and still kind of do. BUT I hired a...
