I'm Lauren and I'm 30 years old. I'm on a mission to lose weight the healthy way and change my lifestyle. Note: This is NOT a pro anorexia/bulimia or thinspo blog.

Completed Day 8!

I'm on week 2 of the 30 day challenge and so far I can do two full pushups! No knees! I then promptly fall to my knees and finish them off girly style. 

I went back to jazzercise in August and until this week I had been lifting 5 lb weights. This week I was able to increase the weight to 8 pounds. There's something about the HIIT exercises that makes me feel remarkably stronger compared to Jazzercise. Perhaps it's because the entire workout is focused on strength and toning. I feel so powerful! :D

 This doesn't mean I'm going to stray from my beloved jazz but sometimes my body need a change in routine. The hard part is getting the energy to train twice a day. By 6pm I'm too tired to get back into my workout clothes and do it all over again. I think I just have to suck it up. Tomorrow I think I'm going to just do Day 9 and forgo jazz...not sure though. decisions decisions....

I've been combining my 5lb weights with smaller, 3lb weights but  I need to just go buy some 8 pound dumbbells. 

My diet today was ok with a couple slipups.I'm trying to pay more attention but cravings are hard to beat when food in the house is scarce.  No excuses though. Tomorrow will be a fantastic day...Dr who live is tomorrow and i have to finish my Clara Oswald cosplay costume for Saturday. ....yeah maybe I should just workout twice tomorrow.

Starting Body Rock's 30 Day Challenge

I decided to start the Bodyrock.tv 30 day challenge on top of my regular jazzercise schedule. I realize it might end up being too much which may lead to a cold somewhere down the line. So far the challenge has really tested my strength and now that I am on the 3rd day I can really tell a difference. I've been religiously going to jazzercise so I know that has also contributed to the new muscle but Bodyrock really pushes you. I think it feels a little different because most of the moves are dealing with some sort of resistance. Technically you're weight training the whole time. 

 My goal is to do bodyrock every other day so that I don't burn out too quickly. 

I am currently at 176 pounds. That's two more from the 174 I reached after the diet bet. I'm pretty certain it's water weight.

Diet wise I could be doing better. I've been logging every meal in My fitness pal and I've noticed a trend. 

I will start the day on a very positive note...either with a protein fruit smoothie or oatmeal followed by yogurt and fruit. Lunch will be a fresh salad with either a sandwich  or some sort of protein. My snacks are usually another piece of fruit with nuts (or maybe cookes eep!). 

By the time dinner roles around I've chosen to indulge in junk food. This past week I have had on consecutive days the following:

yoshinoya

fatburger

mexican food wet burrito

in n out

Ending my day on a substantially large calorie intake is just lame. And I wonder why my weight is staying the same. I end up taking in wayyy more calories than I should and I'm not even craving it. I have made those choice because they were easy and offered to me for free. 

Today I was in control of my food ALL day. I may have made one bad choice but I still managed to stay within my calorie goal. 

Breakfast- Chocolate Zico Pineapple, Kale, Persimmon, Banana and Protein smoothie

Lunch- Box of Macaroni and cheese with almond milk and earth balance (yes the whole damn box) , salad, 5 corn tortilla chips and salsa

Dinner- Toneitup Vegan Chili 

Tomorrow will be better. I constantly have the thought of eating clean, eating raw and staying healthy so it does help but I need better will power. 

I skipped Jazzercise today in favor of Bodyrock.

Train up! like , Get ripped!

So it has been a very very very long time since I last posted anything. I believe my last weigh in on tumblr was 166 pounds. Oh how the mighty have fallen!

I also noticed a lot of posts about going to do things with my now ex boyfriend. Those things lead to eating out on a grand scale. I believe it's been about a year since I last posted on here and in that year I gained all the weight back. For shame :(

However, at the beginning on this year I started following Toneitup.com , ordered their lifetime nutrition plan, re-joined jazzercise and started to take my health seriously again. It has been a battle to get this weight off and backsliding seems to happen frequently. In the summer once I went back to jazzercise I was able to pay better attention and pre- plan my meals. 

This month I joined the blogilates diet bet on dietbet.com and my goal by the end of the month is to go from 182 to 174lbs. So far I'm at 178lbs! 

I'm so proud of myself for finding the motivation again. Now the trick is to be able to keep it up around my friends, family and any other new person that might come into my life dating wise. Once I reach my goal of 174 I'm going to join another diet bet until I can bet my way to getting all of the weight off. :D

So here's my schedule so far:

Monday-jazzercise 60 minutes

Tuesday- P90x Yoga 90minutes

Wednesday- Jazzercise

Thursday- Jazzercise dvd or walking the dog , Strength- butt or arms (Things neglected at jazzercise sometimes)

Friday- Jazzercise

Saturday- Jazzercise

Sunday- Jazzercise

the goal is to stay within my calorie budget every day. For me, there are no cheat days and if I feel the need to indulge I have to make sure I don't go over my calorie allowance.

Today’s Mantra: Happiness is a decision, not a destination.

You CAN choose to love your body. You CAN choose to be happy with what you have, even while working on making your life better. Perfect doesn’t exist, and its dangerous to chase it thinking it will make you happy.

The people I’m drawn to love seemingly love their bodies no matter what. They don’t let their weight or flaws dictate how they feel about themselves. They will throw on a bikini without thinking twice, because anyone who would dare judge them is simply projecting their own insecurities. They know they’re not perfect: and they don’t care.

Work that body love muscle just as hard as the rest of you, and DECIDE to not let anything get in the way of your own happiness: especially yourself.

This is something I’ll never understand. Is that not what the nutrition labels are for…?

[girlgrowingsmall]

EXACTLY.

[theoneandonlymeeeeee-blog]

Every time! I’m sorry, but I like to know what is in my food. I don’t just eat it because the packaging is pretty.

been a while

Ok so it's been a while...i mean like 3 weeks maybe 4 ...since I last signed into my tumblr. I am still keeping up with my diet and exercise and frankly........

IM KICKING ASS! 

I have forgotten to post stuff on here because I have been so busy actually being active! Ever since me and my bf started this little friendly competition we have been hiking and going for long walks like crazy. The other day we went on a treacherous ankle breaking hike through around sapphire falls in rancho cucamonga. A beautiful and creepy hike. Unfortunately lowlifes find it fun to tag nature with their stupid names. The least they can do is make it artsy. That part was really sad. 

I think I might have pulled a tendon or something in my groin because one side feels tender and I can feel a tense muscle or something underneath the skin. I can still workout around it though but it's weird and I hope it goes away. 

I started taking a multivitamin and gave myself a 4 day tummy ache :(. I'm taking a liquid multivitamin that required 2 ozs a day as well as a womens active multivitamin which requires 2 horse pills a day. Over doing it much? I think so. 

I didn't realize that I might have been doubling up on certain vitamins and that's why I have this horrible cramping/ constipated feeling in my lower abdomen. At first I thought I was getting post period cramps (does that even happen?). I then realized that it was probably the vitamins fault on top of the fact that I only consume 1200 calories a day (without exercise). 

Yes I know I sound like a hypochondriac. It is all most likely nothing and I will be fine by the weekend but ughhh. 

I may not have been posting here but I have been posting like a mad woman on myfitnesspal.com so if any of you are on it follow me! My name is ladypaisley

On the plus side I am down to 166 lbs thanks to keeping track of my calories and cutting out sweets! Woohoo! I can't wait to get out of the 160's for good!
