UP & down

Posted on by RedHeadMess

My weight has been an issue for many years. Mainly when I went to culinary school, I gained over 30 pounds in 2 years. I can maintain a steady weight of plus or minus 5 pounds since then. But I always was eating whatever I want. I actually have looked into getting my fat frozen off, lipo, and all sorts. I’ve been stuck at this same weight for over a decade and it’s HIGHLY ANNOYING!! That’s pretty much why I’m getting really tough on my work out and diet this year.

That being said… I had a couple of bad days and ate back 2 pounds. You don’t know how frustrating that is. It always feels like it’s 2 steps forward, 1 back. It might be muscle but idk…I try not to weigh myself too much because I become a little obsessed with knowing the number. I’m not sure what is helping me stay focused instead of just throwing in the towel like always and saying FUCK IT! But I am and for that I’m grateful.

March/April Check in

Posted on by RedHeadMess

I know I’m a little late for my end of the month goals… but 1 day won’t kill ya lol.

SOOOOO… my first goal of March was to go to the gym more, cause I think I went all of 2 days in February. I went a total of 14 days out of the month! Not bad! That’s a little less than half. I’m going to give myself a gold star! And I’m still going to Zumba every Wednesdays. The instructor, who is amazing, said hi to me randomly at the gym. The group of women on that night are really positive and friendly. I wasn’t expecting it actually. Goal number dos, I’m still doing my food diary. Everyday might not be a 100% right, like while I was in Vegas, BUTTTTT I’m still doing it. It’s getting a little easier for me to maintain my lower calorie count that is now my life… sadface. And last but not least, using my fasciablaster more… that one I’ll say I half got right. I just work out late and I’m tired afterwards… BLAH BLAH BLAH I know… I’m a walking excuse…

April goals!

  1. Eat more veggies! I have been getting better with what I eat, I just need to add more of it. I started taking a multi vitamin too.
  2. Try more classes at the gym. I just found out I can go to other gyms for half the cost I’m paying for the 1 gym I go to now. So I have many many new options!
  3. I’m going to start taking measurements of my body parts. I think it’s healthier to see inches lost instead of focusing so much on weight. Muscles weight more than fat.

NOW FOR THE REVEAL!
On March 5th I weighed in at 165.8 pounds and I weighed myself the other day… 161.4 pounds!! BOOM 4 pounds down! That’s a good month! I haven’t noticed it yet on my body yet. But I’m still pretty proud of myself!! Hopefully this keeps up!
