Day 5: So Great To Be Moving Again!

Today is my 5th day into my challenge. And I have to say, I was so bored and found myself missing my Combat last night as I was doing my BBL Bum Bum workout. I missed all the kicking and the punching lol. I miss that BAMF feeling I get from the workout.

However, while I miss it, I do like the change up that BBL is giving me. I am sore from last night's Bum Bum workout. And that was like 30 minutes of a workout. And I wasn't even able to give it my all cause I had to modify my moves and intensity to accommodate my ankle. I feel the soreness in my thighs and my butt.  It's fantastical!!! That's right - I said "fantastical"!

I haven't felt this in a while. I think it's cause I have missed almost a month of workouts? It feels longer than like a month. I feel like the Pilates I was doing wasn't much of a workout cause I didn't get the sweat and the burn that I got from my usual workouts. Although, I think I prefer the Pilates workout over the BBL Tummy Tuck. I know I still get a core workout with Pilates but I don't feel as strained. I think I might do that over the Tummy Tuck if I continue to dislike it lol.

With the start of this challenge, I also did some measurements and pics. I gained inches and some pounds but I know weight can fluctuate between 2, 3 pounds a day and depending on when I take my stats so I wasn't too taken aback by a difference of 2, 3 pounds, but thankfully it was only like 1, 2 pounds difference since the last time I recorded my weight. Also, I don't know if that's weight or water weight since I'm PMSing at the moment. And when I get into that phase, I love nothing but salty foods - Forget chocolate, McDonald's french fries are my crack lol.

So below are my goals and stats. I'm posting things up so it's out there and it's not a secret and I can hold myself accountable. My official weigh in days are on Tuesdays since that's the start of my workout regiment and I'll try and gauge my weight better than but the number is what I took the other night.

Goals for this 60 Day Challenge
- I want smaller thighs ( at least -0.5")
- I want my waist to be smaller (at least -0.5")
- I want to lose 5 pounds.

Starting Weight (@6:02 pm): 127.6
Chest: 36"
Waist: 34"
Arms (L/R): 11"/11.5"
Hips: 36.5"
Thighs (L/R): 21.5"/21.5"




And last but not least - here's some Fitspiration for you all! I love this quote since I'm a little thing :)

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...
