Someone very close to my family took their own life today. He was basically my step-brother. He was 18. Makes you think about shit.

I assure you there was no luck in losing 20 pounds and starting to tone up. I didn’t just wake up one day and have this happen all of a sudden. There was no magic pill.

There was no luck in waking up 3 hours before work to get a sweat in.
There was no luck in declining a night out partying so I could work out.
There was no luck when I stopped eating fast food.
There was no luck when my grocery shopping and meal planning became smarter.

There is no luck in fitness. If you want it, you have to work for it.
But in the end, it will always be worth it.

Out of all the things I want in my life at the moment, I would give anything to have a pool to swim laps in.

Weightloss problems.

Trying something new today...

Today is definitely a rest day. My quads hurt so bad I can honestly not walk down the stairs without my legs wanting to give out. Ahhh FEEL THE BURN! So I’m skipping the gym today and gonna try some exercises at home instead, concentrating mainly on my upper body. Pushups, planks, tricep dips off the couch, crunches, etc.

Anybody have some favorite upper body exercises that you can do at home?

Also, I’m back down to where I was a week ago, at 201.6. I will surpass 200 this time and not screw it up like I did last week.

Toodle-oohs!

Was almost to my first goal (200 lbs.) then gained two pounds :( I had a couple days of no exercise and I basically just pigged the fuck out on food and alcohol lol. Now I’ve lost 1 of those, hoping by next week I’ll have surpassed my first goal. Kind of upset with myself because I was so close a week ago, and now I’m in the same spot again. But O WELL! My workout was good today and I feel great. I’m gonna try and not weigh until next week sometime.

A horrible morning turned into a good morning :)

I stepped on the scale this morning just HOPING that maybe I would see 200. I know I just weighed in yesterday at 201.6 but a girl can dream right? Besides, I have been losing about a pound a day for the last week (however the hell that happened), so it wasn’t a totally delusional idea. Lo and behold, its up 2 pounds :(

But, I didn’t eat great yesterday, and I definitely didn’t drink enough water, so most of it is probably just water weight, and I’m trying to remind myself of that. Besides, I lost like 5 pounds this week, so I haven no reason to be upset about this.

On a very bright note, I calculated how much I need to lose a week to meet my UGW by next May (which is when I plan on moving).

1.4 POUNDS A WEEK. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? THAT IS COMPLETELY DO-ABLE!

At my current rate, I’ll be there in 6 months!

This whole time I’ve been thinking that only losing a pound or 2 a week is too slow. We’d all like to be at our UGW in just a few short months. But today has made me realize that I have far surpassed the necessary weekly loss and I now feel great about it. So today I’m not going to the gym, because I can’t move on account of working my ass off the last two days (btw, my new favorite thing is kettlebell swings), and I plan on just relaxing until I go to work. AND DRINKING AS MUCH WATER AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE, haha.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day today!
