I walked this last night when I was drunk because I hadn't gone to the gym. Pretty proud I survived it haha - the little pitstop you see at Madison Square Garden is when I went down to the LIRR platform to pee because I was about to pee myself.

The triple chin is still out in full effect, but I've lost 15 lbs in the past month and a half and was feelin' myself. Happy Halloween to my Hufflepuffs 💯

I went to the Fall Out Boy pop up shop today and NEEDED the denim jacket they had, but when I asked they said they had run out of 2XL. I figured I would buy the XL since I'm losing weight anyway, but I tried it just now and was shocked that I fit into it. I can't button it, but my arms actually fit through the arm holes which is something that hasn't happened with me and XL anything in over a year and a half. Might just be the way the jacket was made but I'm excited anyway LOL. Hoping this jacket fits me properly (as in, slightly oversized) when I go to LA next spring. Very very happy right now :)

Five non scale victories!

1. Today I was on the elliptical for 30 minutes straight without stopping, alternating between 75 rpm and 50 rpm. This time last month I would do 27 minutes, stopping once at 15 minutes and once at 22 minutes, and would have to alternate between 40 rpm and 53/55 rpm. I'm getting stronger 🙌🏽

2. Today was leg day and my thighs were on FIRE. Literally, shaking. Whereas before I would have broken my reps of leg exercises up (i.e. Instead of doing the full 20, I would do 10, take a break, do 5, take a break, then do the last 5), this time I powered through and even made sure to watch my form.

3. I'm not getting winded walking up the steps from the subway! Now my breathing gets a little heavier, but not bad at all and I don't even have to take a break at the top of the staircase to catch my breath. My goal is to be able to handle the gigantic staircase in the port authority tunnel (4 flights of stairs, 16 steps each) without feeling like I might die.

4. My leather jacket is feeling a little looser in the arms and I'm SO pumped about it.

5. My shoulders are looking less rounded, which means I'm standing up straighter and not slouching as much as I used to. This is especially good news because I have really bad scoliosis, and this is only helping.

THIS IS LITERALLY AFTER ONLY A MONTH OF WORKING OUT AND EATING HEALTHY GUYS. I can't wait to see what I look like and what I can do by my 25th birthday on January 4.

about to post my measurements but i just got a big lesson in the right time to weigh / measure yourself -- when i weighed myself yesterday i had eaten all of my meals for the day and drank a shit ton of water, so I was heavier on the scale. Wait until you see my measurements and weight from my weigh in this morning :) :) :)

Lots of exciting things today! Bought a new scale - I haven't been checking my weight because the scale at my house is super super inaccurate, so being able to (finally) figure out what my actual weight is at the moment was pretty neat. I have no idea what my starting weight was from the end of last month and my measurements have been pretty consistent, so I'm assuming i started out anywhere from 255-260. Which, y'know, yikes. But it's ok because I'm fixing it lmao Also joined dietbet today and have already started my first game! I have high hopes - I'm a lil stingy with money so obvvvv I'm going to want to recuperate my investment LOL.

Visited Chicago for the first time this weekend and while my parents made it a little bit of a miserable experience, I was happy to be there and am ecstatic to go back. Hard to be healthy while I was there because you guys have incredible pizza (I'm team Giordano's, but still nothing close to Manhattan pizza #sorrynotsorry) I did manage to walk all over downtown Chicago and go on a three mile hike, so I didn't do TOO much damage. My Apple Watch said I walked over 20k steps on Sunday which is wild to me. Updated weekly measurements to come tomorrow since it's past midnight and I just spent 7 hours traveling and I have work tomorrow 😩

Just had my first perfect week on the apple activity rings and I'm feeling really proud of myself :)

Today was an active test day so I took a nice slow walk on the treadmill at the gym. Tried to keep it slightly interesting by increasing the incline by 1% every 10 minutes. Feeling really good after it and stretched out a bit afterward. While at the gym I like to listen to podcasts to stimulate my mind AND body (lmao). I started the Citizen's Guide to the Supreme Court podcast yesterday and it's great. The hosts take something relatively mundane and make it interesting and hilarious. Now I'm eating a tuna sandwich and apples while watching quantico, then I'm headed to the store to buy groceries for the week. Happy Sunday y'all~

Have been working out and eating healthy for the past week and a half. I'm into how my shoulders look less rounded than they did before I started. I also have an adorbbb gym bag (not featured because I spilled water all over it and had to dry it). I don't know, dude. It feels right this time. I've been on and off trying to lose weight for the past two years but I think this is it. I started 100 days from the beginning of 2018. I'm excited to see what I can do.

I woke up this morning at 8 am like THANK GOD ITS THE WEEKEND I CAN STAY IN BED ALL DAY And instead I did inclines on the treadmill and dumbbell work After I was done I was like BLESS IM SO HEALTHY IM GOING TO ORDER SO MUCH CHINESE FOOD and I did but got steamed chicken and broccoli with brown rice So I guess I'm really hitting that #fitlife hard huh It's weird being active and out and about on a day I usually reserve for bingeing as much food as possible and surfing Tumblr for 9 hours straight I can feel myself getting stronger and more willing to work out, but I'm a little scared to weigh myself because in the past if I didn't see a two pound difference I would give up. So now I'm trying to go as long as possible without looking at a scale. I'm even thinking about getting rid of my goal weights in my bio. I just want to be able to run around my neighborhood without being embarrassed about all of my fat jiggling around.
