Day 3

I ran for two whole minutes today! Talk about a boost!

I found this pin on Pinterest for undiscovered secret workout stations on Pandora. I cranked up the Electronic Cardio Radio station and man. The music on there really does get you in the right mindset to kick some major calories. I'm going to thoroughly enjoy listening to that as I progressively run more and more every time. It's a great discovery. Thank you Pinterest.

My WIP, Controllers, is coming along quite nicely. I finished chapter 4 today and I'm about to work some more on Chapter 5. Rayne finally met her new assistant, Braxton and things are about to get good! She's not the only one with secrets!

Just thought I'd share that discovery and update with you all. I have stopped snacking during the day and I'm cutting out sugary drinks altogether as best I can. I'll pay more attention to the labels when I shop. I did buy some multi-grain peanut butter Cheerios that are delish and I'm drinking lots of sparkling water. I read an article about aspartame and it's not really all that bad. I read a Time Magazine article about it so it seems legit to me. Anywho...

Until then, work out, read more and dare to inspire!

Weight Loss Challenge Day 1

Day 1

I'm a day behind buy eh, whatever. Yesterday I started my weight loss challenge. I did a set of 10 burpees, a 20 second plank, sit ups and some dancing. I found this nifty little list on Pinterest of some hidden workout stations on Pandora. That'll definitely come in handy while I'm on the treadmill.

I will admit, while I worked out, my food was far from healthy. As I said before, I work in fast food so it was easy to just snack on something there. But today is full health mode. I'm giving this an honest goal once again.

And I will also say that I definitely feel the effects this morning. I can feel those muscles again in my stomach and it feels incredible. I love the feeling of progress.

So why am I doing this? I'm not incredibly overweight but I've got some extra baggage going on. Losing 26 pounds will put me at 140 and that's where I think I look best. I want to look good and feel great. I want to be able to buy smaller clothes and enjoy cuter clothes. I also want to look good naked. I mean, come one. What girl doesn't?

Here's my stats:
Weight: 166
Tummy: 40.5"
Chest: 36"
Arms: 11"
Thighs: 23.5"
Waist: 32.5"
Butt/Hips: 42.5"

So there you have it. I'll post again this evening with day two. Maybe I'll start posting what I eat along with what I did to exercise. I start school again on the 19 and will have full access to a gym. That'll be nice!
