Week 3

Progress! I am currently down a total of 5lbs. Yay! I have to be honest though I didn't work out much this week after I tried HIIT, like almost nothing besides walking around town. Really bad I know and I have tons of excuses but I'm trying to challenge myself in March to really pick things up and get below 200 for my birthday. I have awesome new heels that need a new birthday dress...and I really want to feel good going out with my friends. I'll also try and keep updating more on here about my food habits and more workout routines from the awesome bf. But for now here is the week's progress!

Week 2

Apparently weighing myself today I have gained back two pounds. very discouraging. But I want to get my own scale (not at the gym) so I can have a more consistent reading. However, I have lost two inches off of my biceps, 1 off my calves, half off my hips and 3 off my waist in a week-1 week! I know I tend to fluctuate with my weight more in the beginning while I'm still gaining muscle so I'm not super stressed out about it.

It really bothers me that this says I've only tracked one day lol. It doesn't like it if you don't do it consecutively. I don't track the abs I do at home however and obviously I didn't go once. It's strange. As you can see my graph is a little off now. But not too bad. I can still get this! 

Week 1

One week down. I changed my food and weight tracker to My Plate on Livestrong.com and it's working really well. I decided to go ahead and get the "gold" membership, just because I really want to look at the nutrient values and really track what is going on. I was able to put in measurements for my waist, hips, thighs, neck, and biceps. I'm really hoping to see a change. According to this my color intake should be between 1,149-1,462 calories a day, much different then what I had and what I had been reading. Kind of a restarting but thats fine after really watching my eating habits for a week and I can keep going. I've also decided I will keep tracking what I'm eating personally but instead of posting that here everyday I will once a week with a short update on how I feel about the week. I'll try to post more workouts and recipes as well.
Today is also my first weigh in (meant to be yesterday but I was out of town having an amazing Valentine's day! where I also ate way too much).

4lbs!

Ah yeah baby! That's double the my goal. I'm excited, after two weeks of working out I gained almost 10lbs which was upsetting, but I knew I was building muscle. It's exciting to see that I'm losing weight, and people are starting to comment. I'm really excited for this year and I'm feeling really confident finally. 

Also here is my weekly progress for yall!
*Also, I went from 30 reps to 40 in my circuit today. Feels so good to sweat.

The Beginning

I started working out again at the new year, but I don't think I really knew how hard getting back into shape would be. I've decided to start this blog as an inspiration to myself, to keep myself motivated and to keep track of my goals. I'm going to keep a daily food journal which I will post along with a daily exercise journal. I want to keep track of what I'm doing but also posting my weight on the web is a big encouragement to keep myself moving. So here it goes. My dear Butt, tomorrow marks day 1 of kickin' you into gear. Prepared to be kicked, Ass.
