80 day challegene- day 15

15. Which part of your body do you wish to change and why?

I have a few parts of my body.  I carry most of my weight in my midsection and thighs, so for that reason, I would like to change that.  I know that I have wider hips, so I cannot really slim them as much.  I would love for my thighs and midsection to slim down.  I am not aiming at the infamous thigh gap because not all women are genetically capable of achieving it and I just want a nice toned, flat stomach.

Almost there!!!

SO, I know that I am really bad at posting on here, but I have some breaking news.  Since I have been at collage, which has only been 15 days, I have already lost 7.2 pounds!!!! WHAT!?!?!  I have been eating right and going to the gym 5-6 days a week!!  I'm not constantly hungry like I used to be and I get full really fast!!  California just does wonders to the body, i guess!!!

It feels so good that every time I step on the scale the number just keeps on going down and down!!!!  I am so close to my first goal of 180.  I know that this school year is going to be my of redemption!!!

2 more days!!!

okay, so I leave for California in 2 days and I couldnt be more excited!!!! My goal by the time I come home in December is to be in the lower 160s, if not the upper 150s!!!  I have about 85 days to accomplish this and I will be going full force once I set foot in California!  When that goal is accomplished in December, one I am going to feel more confident in a bikini because I will be going to Mexico to scuba dive for a week and I will reward myself with a tattoo that I have been wanting for quite some time now.

I really want this tattoo and to feel better in a bikini, so from here on out I will have a healthy lifestyle!

California!!!

Okay, so I leave for California in 5 days!!!  I cannot wait to get out there for school.  I have actually been kind of dying to go back to school because all my friends here in Chicago, have already been at school for almost three weeks now.

So, when I am in California there are a few things that I am going to do.  First, I am going to become a partial vegetarian, meaning I will be 100% vegetarian most of the time, but when I feel my body needing more sufficient protein, I will have some meat, probably chicken.  Also, I am going to be starting a weight training regime because I will have a nice state of the art gym with every weight imaginable instead of my home gym with very limited equipment. 

I am so excited for everything to start falling into place and for me to have a great year in California and to have the body of my dreams.

September.

Okay, so by the end of september, my goal is to be in the 170s!!!!  After I damaged just about every ligament/tendon in my foot, I gained about 20 pounds because I literally couldnt do anything.  It was even a struggle to walk.  ALl I remember is the scale being in the 160s and all of a sudden shot to the 180s.  I literally don't even remember the 170s, so it would be nice to see that on the scale.

Ultimately, I have given myself short term and longer term goals.  I have set myself with monthly goals and then a few goals in between.  My first non-monthly goal is to be in the 150s if not the upper 140s by the end of December.

See, my 21st birthday is January 25 and I would love to be in the 140s by then.  It would be a great surprise for my family to see my since I will be meeting them in Las Vegas.  Also, I want it to be like a birthday gift to myself, like I worked my butt off to get where I am today, so I can have a little fun!  I mean you only turn 21 once!

Okay.

So, I have a slight obsession with weighing myself and to me that is a bad thing.  Tomorrow I leave for New York for two months.  I will be working at a summer camp.  There will be no scales and I am actually very happy about that.  I will wight myself for the last time tomorrow morning and hope to be at least 10 pounds lighter when I come back from camp!  I will be running each morning before I have to get my campers up and possibly going to the gym during my free period.  Also, there are a lot of healthy choices at camp.  I am going to try not eating carbs on the weekdays and I am going to eat more lean proteins.

I want to look back on this experience and not only see the amazing friends and memories I made, but see that I made a difference in my life, that I became happier and more confident about my body.

Day 1 of Insanity!

[fit4infinityandbeyond]

It's SummerTime!!!

So, it's summer and I am going all out for my body to look the way i want it to!!!!  I have already lost about 2 pounds since I have been home and I am looking forward to losing more.  I am eating better and I actually have time to work out every day.

Right now, I am in love with these 20 mile bike rides on the trails that I have been doing.  I also am going to semi start insanity soon.  I leave for New York on June 18th, so I wont be able to do insanity consecutively for that reason and that I live on a boat on the weekends, so there is no space to do an insanity workout.

This is my summer and nothing is going to get in my way of achieving what I once thought to be just a dream.  Now my dream is becoming reality.  Plus next year, i have to look good on those California beaches. :)

Life Starts Now!1

Okay, so the past 2.5 months have been rough because of work and all the sorority stuff that was constantly going on, so either I wouldnt have time to work out or I had the weirdest eating scheldule.  so, needless to say, my weight loss journey went absolutely no where and I don't want to say that i am disappointed with myself, but I wish things would have turned out different.  So, tomorrow will be the official restart of my weight loss journey because now I can actually focus on it 100 percent which it awesome.  It would also be awesome to have support from everyone here because that is what I need at the moment to get me through the rough patches!!

Okay, so Its been a while.

Alright, so I havent posted in a while and I honestly am at a plateau in my weight loss journey.  Seriously!!!???  I am stuck between 182-184.  Come on!!!!  I know it will happen soon and i want to make this week the week that I break my plateau and get on with my journey.

So Close!!!

I am getting so close to my first goal weight which will mean the first 10 pounds lost!!!!  AHHHHHHHHH!!!!  I have yet to be able to weight myself in the morning when you are supposed to weight yourself because of school.  There is no scale in my sorority house!  So, when I weighed myself yesterday it was after I had eaten breakfast and lunch, wo it wasn't quite 100% accurate.

I'll probably workout tomorrow morning because I don't have class until 11, so I can go to the wreck center and weight myself there!

Also, I started this 21 day binge free challenge and I am on my third day so far and I feel great and know that I can do this.
