Gym Challenge Update#2

I'm still following my gym challenge and I am very proud of myself. I personally find it easier to go to aerobic and spin classes vs. trying to figure out something on my own to do everyday. I feel healthier but the scale has not moved at all...the culprit my piss poor eating habits!!! Lesson for me and everyone to take away from this DIET is 70% of weight loss it can actually be the only thing you change and you can achieve your weight loss goals. So I must attack the diet portion I talked last night with my fiance about my diet and eating habits we discussed some things for me to implement immediately that I can see great results with.
To attack Cravings:
1.) Drink water when you crave things and even between meals
2.) Chew gum
3.) Eat a low calorie snack like fruit or veggie sticks

To attack bad eating habits:
1.) Only drink water no sodas or processed juices
2.) Use the fruit and veggie juicer to replace one meal a day (like breakfast or lunch)
3.) Eat appropriate foods at the appropriate meal times (I love left overs for breakfast but that is really unhealthy or don't have a huge lunch like steak or potatoes have a salad soup or fruit and a sandwich)
4.) No fast food (it is high in calories and will also help me save money)

So since this is my gym update where I talk about going to the gym everyday I thought I would show a celebrity that goes to the gym every day that has modified her eating habits and looks fantastic now...

The top three are before she started tackling her eating habits and the bottom two are the AFTER pictures. She is still curvy but so much more toned her body is amazing!!!

Quick Update!!!

174.0...I am still too ashamed to take pictures!!!

Thinspiration= Motivation!!!

I think the title sums it up perfectly. However Before and After thinspiration is like motivation on steroids for me. I love to see that someone else has had the willpower to stick to a lifestyle change and succeed. So here are some awesome before and after pictures and hopefully these can get me through a rough time. I am still working on getting back in the swing of things and hopefully this will give me the extra fuel I need. I'm ready I'm ready I'm ready...I'm ready to beat this demon called fat. Hopefully everyone out there has either beat that demon or they are ready too. I hope to lose more weight this coming ,175 would be awesome, and get back on track like I was earlier this year.

177.6

Just wanted to update you all I have lost 4.7 pounds. I can't believe this is a weight I am excited about this would have been a heavy weight for me a couple of months ago now I am just happy to be back in the 170's. I cannot go down this road again CANNOT!!! From now on I have to stay aware about what I'm putting in my body. Hopefully I can drop some more weight this week which im sure is all water weight but I am a person that finds comfort in the number on the scale going down. So hopefully I will have another update this week to post

Water!!!

Okay I am not going to go back to my old habits of losing weight because obviously it is hard for me to maintain those results!!! But I do remember how much my stomach would flatten out when i was drinking water like crazy. So I am going to go back to cutting out unecessary calories from my diet by drinking water and cutting out sodas and juices!!! I also want to add a fresh fruit or veggie to every meal. These are just small changes that I hope to build on I have also been trying to stay consistent with working out last week I worked out about 3 times, this week I worked out twice so far I made a work out plan with my brother and fiance to do insanity 3 times a week and I hope to also work out in between those three insanity days for a total of maybe 4-5 days a week. I am still at about 178-179 so I am hoping to lose water weight by drinking more water and eventually actual fat by doing insanity (they are intense workouts). So hopefully Tuesday morning I will have good news. I really want to get to 174 because that use to be the highest weight I had been at I never would have thought I would be at this point and I am hoping and determined I will never get this high again...So stay tuned for results!!!

My goals!!!

I'm still Hanging in there at 169 so I figure from this I can make my weekly weight loss goal. I believe a realistic one is 3 to 5 pounds per week. This goal will only be realistic though if I stick to a healthy diet and continue working out. I have cheated some this week but that will all change in the next few weeks. If my friends wedding was not motivation I have even more motivation now, the week directly following the wedding is spring break and I am going to Vegas. From this day forward I have exactly 9 weeks or 63 days. So lets do the math...
3 pounds a week= 27 pounds
4 pounds a week= 36 pounds
5 pounds a week= 45 pounds
I honestly think 45 is a little steep for such a short amount of time but would put me close to my overall goal to lose 50 pounds. I believe if I could be in the 140's which would be closer to a 3 pound a week weight loss I will be happy for any extra. Now with all that established I still promise to post a pic of me at 164 and every 10 pounds after. Until next time I hope this gives you a little thinspiration...
