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!
Thanks for stopping by!
