Fitness Update

It's been a while since I've updated you all on my fitness goals.  I've lost another 5 lbs. and am wanting to lose another 5 by the end of July.  From there I am wanting to lose 15-20 lbs. and tone up.  I have really been focusing on working out and incorporating it into my daily routine.  It's gotten to the point where I no longer dread working out and actually look forward to it, which is a big step for me.

In addition to working out 5-6 times a week I am also focusing on eating better all around.  I have cut down my portion sizes, eating about 1500 calories a day, and am focusing on clean eating.  Avoiding processed foods, fast food, and sweets has really made an impact on my weight loss.

I have been keeping a journal with my daily weight, workout, food, and calorie count.  This has definitely helped with my own personal focus and accountability.  I really like this visual though and am thinking about making something similar, so I'll keep you posted if I do.

My ultimate end goal is to gain more confidence and be happy with my body.  I know I have the potential to have a lean, fit, strong, and healthy body...I just need to work for it, but I know it will be worth it when I reach my goals.

This is so true! I have had a couple of cheat meals here and there, but it's not like I instantly gain a pound from eating bad.  It's really all about healthy habits and if the majority of the food I eat is healthy then my body will start to exhibit those changes.

This makes it all worth it.  I am in the habit of weighing myself each morning and I have to say I love the feeling of working out hard the day before, stepping on the scale and seeing a smaller number than the day before.  1 lb. at a time, but I will get there!

Right now I am really into the 21 Day Fix program.  The workouts are only 30 minutes long, so it's easy to get one in before I get ready in the morning, or even before bed.  I also really love Piloxing and Brazilian Butt Lift right now.

The best feeling is pulling on a pair of pants with ease, when previously it was a struggle to button them.  I still have a long way to go, but I know I am that much closer because my focus is there and I am fully committed.  I can't wait to show you all some awesome before and after pics!!  

 

Have a happy and healthy weekend!
