Pre Day 1: My Numbers

So, as promised, I did some measurements. Sadly, I'm up in my numbers but surprisingly, not as badly as I thought. Still, not happy that I'm up again. Anyways, here are some starting numbers before I officially start Shaun T's Cize tomorrow!!!

 Starting weight: 120.0 lbs
Chest: 36 in
Waist: 32 in
Hips: 35.75 in
Thigh (L/R): 21.25 in/21.75 in

I can't wait to start. I finally got my streaming situation sorted so I don't have to wait for the physical DVDs, which according to FedEx, are due in on the 23rd. I've watched a bit of every dance routine and they all look like so much fun.

I didn't do the meal prep I wanted to do today but there is always tomorrow. I know I want to hard boil eggs to keep around as snacks. I know I need to cut out a lot of bad processed carbohydrates. I need more veggies, which I bought. I want more fruit though. I want something to curb my need for sweets and fruit usually does it. I'm going to try the 10 Week Body Challenge nutritional diet to try something different food wise. On this "diet" I know I can do fruits and dairy after a workout. So I'm hoping that with my morning workouts, I'll be able to just add some fruit and Greek Yogurt for breakfast a day or two a week.

I don't know what else to make for breakfast other than like eggs and turkey bacon. I know I will miss my oatmeal. I was always able to take it with me, on the go, and have it at work. I know that's where meal prep comes into play but I love my oatmeal. I usually add my peanut butter protein powder to it to beef it up a bit so we'll see how I do with this coming week as far as breakfast goes. It's funny that it's only breakfast that worries me. I know with the rest of the day, I can have my protein and veggies and all that no problem. And my Load Day can be anything I want so I'm not going to feel deprived.

I know I still need more water. I never feel like I get enough water. Like no amount of water can quench my thirst as of late. It could be that the weather is getting warmer and I know I always feel warm. But I still try and make a conscious effort and just keep filling up my shaker bottle. I also feel like I need more iron or some sort of supplements or vitamins. I know I'm back to bordering on being anemic so I know more iron is needed [again, going back to focusing on my diet].

On the makeup work front, I know I need to hustle and get it done, but I'm still lacking that drive. I need to find that enthusiasm and fun I had when I first started. Maybe once I get the balance and routine I want with my health and fitness with work, I can add in my business, but right now I'm feeling uninspired for my re-launch.

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...
