Transformation

Well, it's been quite awhile.

I just signed up with a personal trainer, hoping to have someone push me to the next level.

Since July, I've been consistently working out and watching what I eat. I've lost 25 lbs and about 17 inches. While I'm very proud of myself, I need more. I feel I've done as much as I can do on my own and have now sought professional help.

In the next 7-10 weeks, I hope to be leaner and fitter and start on a path that will continue for quite some time.

I will try to make an effort to update this more often, so I have something to look back on. I truly feel this is the (second) start towards my goal.

Personally, I want to lose another 30 pounds. The trainer said I could stand to lose about 50-60, based on my body fat. I want obvious results. Even though I've done well on my own, and some clothes fit looser, the weight and inches I've already lost have not made much of a difference, physically.

I hope, pray and will actively seek this: By April/May/June, I want to be lighter and trimmer. How great would that be for summer? I'm very excited and READY for this next level to begin.

Two weeks in...

Well, it's been two weeks. Two weeks that I've been very strict about what I'm eating and working out. Last Monday, when I weighed myself, I'd lost 2 lbs. I'll see what the scale says tomorrow. I haven't had fast food in over two weeks! This is a big deal and big accomplishment. But you know what, I haven't been craving it. If I feel the need to stop and get food, I go to a sandwich shop, where I can get good, healthy, fresh ingrediants. I worked out 5 times last week and 4 times this week. I think I'll wait another 2 weeks until I measure myself again. My two friends haven't worked out or been restricting their eating. I told one that they need to start working out. Sure, without them participating, I'm in for an easy win. But I'd rather lose $100 (what we're all offering, at the end of the deal, as a prize) and have my friends lose weight with me. I'm just trying very hard to make sure I do the best that I can.

Finally

So I finally worked out today. Did 30 minutes on the treadmill, reaching just under 2 miles. Obviously, a lot of work needs to be done to get miles down to a better time, but I'm not trying to win a race here. I have meals planned out for the week, as to stop any ideas of grabbing Chick fil A for lunch or pizza for dinner. Besides those types of meals here and there, I already eat pretty healthy. No soda or coffee, eat brown rice, whole wheat/grains everything, low fat/no fat options, fruits and veggies, drink plenty of water and unsweet tea from the pot... Really, it just comes down to me sticking with a workout plan and forgetting those last minute, bad for you meals. I plan on blogging about more than just weight loss, but I guess I'll get to that later. :)

Big Brother

I absolutely LOVE Big Brother. It's part of my summer. Watching the show on TV, online and catching everything that happens inside that house. Thursdays are the biggest night, as it's a live show, so you're not privy to what will happen. Although, you usually know who will go home. It'll be interesting to see who wins HOH this week. Hopefully someone who will break up the romantic pair in the house. So far, it's been pretty boring. Maybe the person in power this week will shake up the house a bit. But first... I'm determined to make my school decision by Monday. I'm pretty sure that I've already made up my mind, but I'm too scared to say it out loud. Not sure what I'll be doing this weekend. I know one of my friends will be out of town. And hopefully another friend feels well enough to keep our plans of working out Sunday morning. I've been good with food and exercising this week. I'm starting to feel my stomach muscles after ...
