Hi friends It's been two months since I've posted. They've been rough months. I graduated coding school. So that was cool. I haven't gotten a tech job yet so I went back to retail. I've been doing a decent amount of freelance web design though so that's been nice. I've gained 15 pounds since I … Continue reading STARTING OVER
The main reason why I always avoided starting a fitness blog, or instagram, or youtube channel, is because of my inconsistency. I started a program in May to get a software development certificate. A week before I started, I hurt my back pretty bad not being careful doing deadlifts. So I can't 100% say that … Continue reading FAILING / EXCUSES
Lol not really. But I joined the gym I talked about in my last post, and I've been loving it. I got an email from one of their trainers, KJ, a few days after I joined. They offer one free personal training session when you join, so I emailed him back and we set up … Continue reading NEW GYM / NEW ME
My back is finally healing! I'd say it's almost back to normal. I've gone to the gym a few times in the last week and my boyfriend and I have been going to the zoo and walking around for a few hours since it's getting nicer out. I've only done upper body days and cardio, … Continue reading GYM SHOPPING
Yesterday morning I woke up pretty early and was headed off to the gym at 6 AM. I had the day off work and I was super excited to change up my leg day routine a little bit, take some lifting videos with my new selfie phone case, and then I had a long to-do … Continue reading I FUCKED UP
Well, I didn't mean to go almost a month without posting here! Life got pretty crazy. We're almost done moving. Just need to organize the office and empty a few more boxes in the living room, and we're getting internet and cable tomorrow (finally!!). So...I BROKE MY PLATEAU! And I have been bombing through the … Continue reading LIFE / LIFTING / WEIGHT UPDATE
I think my biggest problem with being so overweight for so long is my complete inability to see myself as a regular sized person now. I have lost 79 pounds from my highest weight. I'm only about 5 pounds over the recommended healthy weight for my height. But I still see myself as being so … Continue reading SHIFTING FOCUS
Leg day is my favorite day. I haven't quite graduated to focusing different gym days on different muscle groups aside from just alternating between arms / upper body and legs / lower body. I'm sure switching it up is good, but I've been really enjoying my leg day routine. 15 -20 minute warmup on the … Continue reading CURRENT LEG DAY ROUTINE
Yesterday I woke up earlier than normal for my workout. I was pretty sleepy, and I don't like to eat that early in the morning because I only eat 1,200 calories a day. My boyfriend bought a container of pre-workout powder a few days ago so I decided to mix in a scoop with my … Continue reading NOBODY WARNED ME ABOUT PRE-WORKOUT
As I'm coming up on a milestone I'm really excited about - the 130's - I've been thinking about how my body looks nothing like I thought it would at this weight. I guess in my daydreams I didn't factor in loose skin and my body holding all my fat in my hips and stomach area. … Continue reading PROGRESS PICTURES ARE IMPORTANT AF
