Since December I’ve lost 9lbs from my heaviest weight and my goal was to lose about 10lbs but actually i’m pretty happy at where I’m at now.

It’s not about the number but about how i feel and even though its taken me about 4 months to lose only 9lbs i’m happy about it because i’ll be honest i’m lazy and didn’t want to give it 110% i gave it more like 85% and even though it took just a bit more time i’m okay with it.

Now it’s all about maintaining myself.

I just bought a pint of vanilla ice cream due to a sudden craving. I would normally try to ignore it because i’m emotional eating but tonight:

I had 2 of my dads friends ask me if I’ve lost weight today and that i looked really great. I mean it was wonderful seeing the scale at 128 since when i started this i was 133 but its even better that people are noticing it. I feel wonderful.

I didn’t work out all day so I did Insanity passed midnight. What kind of freak works out this late just to get sweaty and need to take a shower? Me.

I’m going to start writing down all my workouts because it sounds like a good idea

Dickbags I think I sprained my foot while doing high knees for insanity, I landed wrong and fell and now it hurts a lot :C  I think I’ll just do floor ab exercises for today now so I don’t hurt my foot any more

I need to kick my ass into gear. I think that I became way too happy about going down to 128lbs and I’ve been half-assing my workouts and eating not as well as I was before so now I really need to go for a long run, eat a banana and some peaches and start it up again.

Okay so the other day i ended up eating a Johnny Fat Boy burger (a burger with a large onion ring and bacon) and Chili Cheese Fries and I regret nothing at all. I’ve been eating pretty healthily lately and you know what pigging out once won’t absolutely destroy me, so its okay I’m not sweating it. Just gotta continue the workouts and eat healthy and all will be chill. 

You guys, you guys, YOU GUYS, I’M BACK DOWN UNDER 130! I’M AT 128 WHAT THE HELL?! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?! I’m sorry i’m just so over joyed! I’ve only been trying to work out and get fit and healthy since like December (technically i tried starting September but i gave up quickly) and even though I haven’t exercised every single day and hell even missed an entire week when i went to Cuba and missed days because of my period andsometimeslaziness I was still able to get down! Now i’m only 8lbs away from my UGW and holy hell i’m so freaking happy yes yes yes

Are horrible. Truly horrible. The bloating and insane cravings for the worst type of junk food, this is just…ugh — I can’t.

Worst part if the first couple of days for me I can’t work out because 1) I’ll be having terrible cramps or 2) the minute I start I’ll begin to feel terribly nauseous. So I just sit around and blog while sipping Chamomile tea. Does this happen to anyone else? orr is it just me?

Lately ive been getting quite a few compliments from people and its been really boosting my self esteem, i mean sometimes i can’t really tell whether im progressing or not and not having a working scale doesn’t help but lately I’ve had friends, family and even my boyfriend telling me how they can definitely see that I’ve lost weight (though my boyfriend keeps telling me that i don’t need to lose weight(oh and we celebrated 3 years together yesterday woohoo)) it’s just been pretty freaking great C:

have your guys received any compliments from people?

The scale doesn’t always tell all — Sometimes we worry too much about the number on the scale and we don’t appreciate the little successes along the way. So in effort to try to get to know my followers better i’d like for you guys to tell me what were the little things you noticed that showed you progress. Maybe you noticed your muffin top is slightly smaller, maybe its as simple as being able to do one more rep or run one more lap, being able to tighten your belt tighter by one hole or even just feeling overall healthier. I want to know — so tell me guys and gals, what were your non-scale successes?

Alright so i really need to find some healthier snacks, my whole life i’ve been like addicted to potato chips and i need to find some other alternatives, lately i’ve been eating corn nuts but i don’t think they’re super great for me? 

If you know any semi salty snacks that would be preferred for my tastes but sweet works too, i just need to find better snack food in general

And by “Let Go” I mean lower the volume on that voice inside your head that tells you that you can’t go any farther. The voice that says “Oh god I need to stop, I can’t run anymore.” is a liar and if you just try to push yourself (not too hard of course, there are limits) just a bit farther you’ll be surprised at what your body can accomplish. Remember mind over matter and unless you puke, faint or die Keep Going.

Sorry guys i was just super busy for the last couple weeks and i haven’t really been working out as i should be so i thought it would be inappropriate for me to post here.

Odd/Good news though: Before i left to go visit family in Cuba the very top of my thighs still touched (not very much though) and well 5 days later i come back look in the mirror and holy hell thigh gap? How did this happen if i didn’t work out for 5 days?

Well i rationalized this as 1: In Cuba i did a lot of walking (the main mode of transportation in Caibarien) and 2: i had little to basically no junk food at all for 5 days. Like here i usually have potato chips of some kind always, its like my addiction, but while there i only had a couple of Bon Bon’s.

So yeah i think im going to try to go on without junk food for sometime and just eat nice fruits.
