It's been awhile....

So, I've hit the point where I'm honestly just not sure what to write about anymore.  I have been busier than ever and really haven't had the time to research/blog.  I know that isn't an excuse but it is what it is!

On a better note...I have reached my first goal weight of 140 lbs!
To be honest, I'm pretty sure it's because I haven't really been drinking alcohol.  It really does make a huge difference....the only week I didn't lose weight was the week where I drank that weekend.

Hopefully in the next week or so, I will get back on here more.  I feel like I've started to develop a routine in the gym...which may not be the best thing.  It really is good to switch up your workouts often!

Goals

So...I made it through my first workout of 2012 and I'm pretttty sure I already look like this :


Well, maybe not.

Before I started my workout, I weighed myself. 146 lbs. While this may not seem like a lot to some of you, it is to me.  This is the most I have ever weighed.  According to this ideal weight tracker, my ideal weight it 134 with a healthy range of 119-149.  I'm just FOUR pounds from being outside of my recommended weight range.  Now again, this may seem like no big deal to some people but the fact that I have gained probably 20 pounds in the last 3 years is scary to me. Not to mention I was 138 less than 1 year ago.  I do not want to continue that trend.

So now it's time to make some goals :

  • 1st check-point : 140 (I will reward myself for hitting each check-point with some new work out apparel)
  • 2nd check-point : 130
  • Goal weight : 125 (Haven't decided this reward yet....ideas?)




I have never been able to wear skirts like this because of my body shape (aka - I have love handles).  So this is a huge personal goal for me.




  • I want to work out at least 3 days a week, even where there are a million reasons not to.
  • When it gets warmer, I want to try stand-up paddle boarding
  • Most importantly, I want to keep myself motivated.  I want to change my lifestyle and I want to be happy with my body.
