Day 1 Baby!!!!!

Well, today is it! The official start of Combat and I'm pumped! It's the official day today since I wanted to wait to get back from vacation. So the workouts I've done before today using Combat have just been me getting acquainted with them. I'm sure I'll still be uncoordinated and awkward, but that's to be expected.

I'm sure today and tomorrow will be a struggle since this weekend is busy not only with work, but I actually am going to have a bit of a social life. Which is surprising, cause I haven't had one lately, not really lol. So I know whatever calories I burn from the workouts, I know I will use to drink beer at the beer festival tonight. I also know I'll be sluggish due to lack of sleep. I've been having a bit of insomnia lately which will affect my goals and workouts. I'm trying to go to bed so I have a full eight, but that's not working out so well since I just wake up an hour or two later and stay awake for like an hour ... or three - like today/night.

Also, I put up my MyFitnessPal weight loss ticker thing so I can see where I've been and where I'm about to go, not only mid weight loss goal wise, but my reminder of when I want to lose the rest of the weight. So my goal is to be at or around 125 by July. If I don't reach my goal but look less flabby, I'd be happy with that too. In fact, if I had to choose, I'd rather be less flabby and be leaner than lose the weight and still be flabby. And I say that's my "mid" weight loss goal since I know I want to lose more, possibly another 20, 15 pounds after that. I'm not going for super skinny, I just want to be healthy so I want to see where I am after my goal.

Right now, I know my clothes are looser. And I know I can now fit in clothes I haven't worn in years! And they fit better now than when I did fit in them. FYI: It's so much better than new - it's old! I also know, that while I am tired on my feet and I ache after work, it feels less achy, for lack of a better word; I know I'm a bit "lighter" on my feet - there, that's a better description for that. I'll try and do my before measurements and pics on here soon.

Also, below, I added a video I found for measurements from the Beachbody website. It was helpful in taking measurements for me.

I can't wait to start! Wish me luck! And if you have any advice or tips or you anything, leave me a comment :)

Back Again

Hello again! It's been a while since I've been on here. Mainly because of life's ups and downs. I've been feeling really low about myself and decided I needed to change. Hopefully it takes, or more like hopefully I'm ready to sustain change. What's changed for me? I'm at a professional part in my life where I've been feeling stagnant and want more or change or both. And personally, I got to the point where I got too comfortable and just stopped focusing on my health goals/gains cause my partner was okay with me the way I was/am. Which, I know, is super awesome and fortunate but I didn't like the run down and weighed down feeling I had when literally and figuratively. So, for the last few months, I've been doing a dietbet, which I'm not great at. I feel like I always get close to my goal but never get there, which would've made me feel down in the past. But now, I just take it and move onto the next month and hope I make it then. Alo...

BEASTing Out

Well, I finally did it. I took the plunge into Body Beast. I like to lift so I thought this would be fun. And I'm sure it is fun if I didn't feel like puking during the workout. It's been a while since I've had this happen. I thought I gave myself enough time in between dinner and my workout. Maybe not? Or was I just working out that hard? I didn't feel like I did. It was a Build: Chest/Tri's day so I used light weights for like all my sets since I tweaked my left shoulder and didn't want to train one side heavy than the other cause I'd like some symmetry. Either way, I'm gonna keep on. Tomorrow is Legs and I do love a leg day, even if I hate it the next two days after. I'm still doing the Les Mills classes and videos. I did Body Pump this week. I should've taken that class as a sign to go easy on my shoulder now that I think about. I'll probably do some Combat or Sh'bam again for some cardio to go along with my Body Beast program. ...

Derailed In December And Still Off The Rails

So in December, I had every intention of being better, but it hasn't been going exactly as planned. It's actually been kinda bad. I've been a bit derailed. Maybe it was the holidays. Maybe it’s because I’ve been a little bit down and depressed. Maybe it was the weather of the season. Maybe it was and is all the working I've been doing. Actually, now that I think about it, it's all of the above on top and being in school this semester that’s in my way. My workouts have been sporadic. Work has me drained more than usual. And being anemic and having poor nutrition as of late hasn't helped either. I don’t sleep as much because I work too much. One job has me up at 3 a.m. And the other job, when I work, has me up till like 11 p.m. If I schedule my workouts before work, then I’ll be up at like 2 a.m. I need to find a balance and change. So to kind of start to change off things, I took on a trainer. It was going alright I suppose until like last month. I starte...
