It's never too late to become what you might have been

I was super psyched to finally get the email with the weigh in word in it! I wish I checked my email before I ate breakfast so I could've gotten a more accurate weight but it's all good :) I got my workout in today! It was a back and biceps day as well as cardio! I'm sure I'll feel the biceps work tomorrow. Today, I felt yesterday's leg workout. I totally feel it when I sit, walk, lie down, and every thing else I do. It's fantastic! It's always a sign of a great workout! With this weight loss challenge, I'm also thinking about adding in 21 Day Fix workouts to give me some variety and also use some of the nutrition aspects. Tomorrow is a straight up cardio day. And it's going to be day one of my couch to 5K training. I need to redo my running playlist to get me pumped up for it. That or I need to be mad cause that's when my running is the most productive lol. As per my usual Sunday routine, it's a prep day. I prepare my week...

So I don't know if I've said this before (but I'm pretty sure I have), I love Extreme Weight Loss! And I love Chris and Heidi Powell! I swear, it's like every episode, I cry and it's fantastic! I'm just so inspired by the transformations people can make in a year. And seeing what they can do in a year makes my goal just seem attainable and not so daunting. Anyways, I follow Chris and Heidi on Facebook and saw that they were hosting a DietBet game . Now, I had never heard of this until then so I checked it out. And now I'm in! What it is is a place where you put money into the pot (in this case, it was $30), and you lose a specific amount. For this game, since it's only 28 days long, it will be 4% of your body weight. So I'm at/around 120 and 4% of that is 4.8, but I'm rounding up to 5 pounds. And there are quite a few people playing so you're going through this journey with others in the same boat as you, all trying to lose weight. And it...

I'm actually taking a true rest day! Meaning there was no work or gym. I spent my day at home, relaxing and just doing my prep for the week. I do feel a hint of guilt not doing anything, but then I'm trying to be mindful of my body and it's needs. I haven't done a real rest day in weeks. I'm either working, spending time at the gym or both. It's so weird to just lounge, but at the same time, it's fantastic! So today, while out of the gym, I'm trying to not get crazy with my food intake on the weekends cause that's a habit I'm trying to break.I'm keeping in mind, my macronutrients. Not to the point where I'm obsessive; I'm just more cognizant of how much carbs I'm taking in and how much more protein I need. And with that in mind and preparing for my week, I've been thinking about my food and other supplements I need to help my diet. Tomorrow is Day 28 of Lee Labrada's 12 Week program. So far, I'm liking it. I feel s...

So lately, I've been hitting the gym. I've gone every day - even when I lack the energy. I know that I need to keep going to keep my gym momentum going! What can I say? I am so inspired by all these people in the BPI challenge. I wish I was better through out the challenge but I have to say this challenge helped as a starting point as I've said before. I'm also slowly working my way through my free weights anxiety in the gym lol. I read this article on being an Alpha Girl in the gym and I'm trying to incorporate the tips and attitude in the gym.I have to say I am guilty of being on my phone, but it's cause I'm on the BodySpace app tracking my workout. So that's okay, right? It gives me my plan I need and guidance I so need! Otherwise, I'd wander around aimlessly from machine to machine, not sure what to do, like I did before. Now I just need to have the confidence lol.And I also realize I need lifting gloves; my hands are getting callused and roug...
