295 Days In!

Mon, 4 Jun 2012 10:35:03 EST

Today marks 295 days since the beginning of my weight loss journey. I don’t consider this journey just to be about weight loss though. I think for awhile I was lost. I wasn’t being myself. I was afraid to wear shorts in public as well as tank tops. I would suffer through hot and humid Missouri summers (not to mention Florida vacations) in jeans and t-shirts because I couldn’t bare to show my legs or arms for fear of embarrassment. The thing that was most embarrassing for me is that I used to ...

198 Days In!

Tue, 28 Feb 2012 10:47:53 EST

What a journey it has been so far! I am 198 days into my weight loss journey, which is the equivalent of a little over 6 months. So far I have lost 45.8 pounds and over 26 inches.

Here are my measurements as of February 6th, 2012:

Again, those "current" calculations were done back at the beginning of this month. Lately, I have been working Ab RipperX into my workouts every other day, as...

3 Month Successes!!

Mon, 21 Nov 2011 01:12:48 EST

Hello everyone! I am on a mission to get back into MY body. I had multiple surgeries due to sports injuries and it just got me out of exercising consistently. In high school, I was one of the top athletes around the nation. I could eat whatever I wanted because I had soccer and softball practices/games to keep me constantly busy. But, when I stopped working out due to my injuries which eventually led to laziness, I, of course, gained a lot of weight...

I had moments where I though...

I've finally got it!

Photo Shoot with Myself

Hey guys,

I decided to celebrate the changes in my face from May to now by doing a mini photo shoot with myself. I love photography and editing pictures so I thought it would be a lot of fun! Anyway, thank you guys so much for the support! I truly appreciate it! Here are the pictures!

New Challenge!

Hey everyone!

I'm at work so I can't update with a video blog! Okay, since I've been doing well with eating lately (except for the end of last week and yesterday... There was a HUGE chocolate cake in our fridge at work and everyone was eating it and heating it up and so I gave in... One piece was 680 calories! Ridiculous! So, I ended up cutting it in half hoping that cut it down to 340... Not great, but better than 680, sheesh! It was REALLY good though... 4 No worries,...

Day 2!

Hey everyone! I really wanted to update you all so you didn't think I'd fallen off the face of the planet!

Devan, my boyfriend, and I finally started P90X yesterday after battling with a broken tv ALL week. I will take a picture or something for you all to show you our workout space at home. It's fantastic! There's plenty of room for us now so we aren't bumping into to each other during our workouts! That will be especially helpful during PlyoX (which is the workout we are doing to...

Day 1 of P90X - Shoulders and Triceps

Wow, am I tired! That was a great workout. I'm feeling somewhat lightheaded now that I've ended the workout because of how hot it is in here. I did very well overall. My only problem is what used to be one of my favorite workouts: Lying down tricep extensions. This exercise is a problem due to my right elbow injury I sustained a few years ago. My right elbow can't straighten all of the way and locks up on me a lot. This exercise causes my elbow...

So far!

Hey everyone!

So, today is Wednesday and boy is it hot and humid here in good ol' Missouri. Phew! Let me tell you, humidity is NOT fun for asthmatics such as myself. 198
Here is what I have done so far this week.

Monday: Speed-walked two miles with my dogs, Indi and Daisy. Ate well!
Tuesday: I did not get my workout in due to not getting enough sleep the night before. I tried to do some office exercises though.
Wednesday (today): Ate well today!...

Eating healthy pays off!

Hey everyone!

I just want to say that I have made a lot of progress in the past two months just from eating healthy! My love-handles are less noticeable and my face has definitely gotten skinnier. Anyway, I will put some pictures from two months ago and today and you will see the difference.

These are from 2 months ago. ...

I'm back and ready for action!

Tue, 29 Jun 2010 00:26:07 EST

Hey everyone! It has been awhile since I was on here but I have been starting slow. I started my new job almost four months ago and since then my eating habits have improved drastically! Basically, I didn't want to be the one who was known for eating junk food. So, every day at work I eat small lunches that are healthy for me! I love it! I can't believe that I look forward to salads and yogurt parfaits! They are so good!

Anyway, now that I am eating better I figure I can start wor...

P90X

Fri, 10 Apr 2009 03:00:33 EST

Alrighty, I'm taking the leap and I just ordered the P90X workout system. It's going to kick my butt, but I'm going to commit to it and work hard.

KEEP ME MOTIVATED EVERYONE!!!!

I'll post with weekly or biweekly progress. It's a 13 week program (90 days).

Wish me luck!

Motivation

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 00:41:08 EST

I think that the reason I get so defeated when I'm trying to lose weight is because I think I look worse than I do. People think I weight around 150, when in reality I weight about 220... I have a lot of muscle that I have built up and I think that is a part of it... I don't know... It's just hard considering how much injuries I've had in the past year. Ugh...

I need motivation! So, I'm going to set up some goals for me.

After I lose __ lbs I can____:
10 lbs: Buy a ...
