Monday Weigh In- Week 5 completed

Holy Shit I have been busting my little toosh this week (well big toosh). This new program of mine is 10 times more amazing than I could have imagined! It is called JNL Fusion, and let me tell you I have never felt so motivated in my life! Even more than bootcamp! Let me just break down my Monday shoulder shredder workout that I did:

Circuit 1: Overhead Shoulder Press & Speed Rope
Circuit 2: Side Lateral Raises & Snatch and Grabs
Circuit 3: Front Laterals & Plyo Plies
Circuit 4: Bentover Rear Delts & Fusion Power Jacks
Circuit 5: Standing French Press & Hot coals
Circuit 6: Tricep Kickbacks & Titanium Tucks
Circuit 7: Floor Dips & Fusion Glides

So you do 30 second strength (First exercise in circuit) and 30 second cardio (second exercise in circuit) 3 times before moving on to the next circuit and you finish in 30 min! That is just day one! Everyday focuses on a different part of the body. Something new was sore each day that is for sure! So after this week here are my stats:

Week 4:                         Week 5:
Weight= 204lbs            Weight= 202lbs
Chest= 42.5"                Chest= 41.5"
R Arm= 13.5"                R Arm= 13"
L Arm = 13.5"                L Arm= 13"
Waist= 44.5"                 Waist= 42.5"
Hips= 44"                      Hips= 43.5"
R Thigh= 27 3/4"           R Thigh= 26.5"
L Thigh= 27"                  L Thigh= 26.5"

A total of 6.25" lost this week! Holla! I notice a big difference in my legs most of all right now, then my chest. I also notice that when I workout I sweat a lot more. That has to do with the amount of water I drink in the day and also when you get more fit you sweat more! I have been wearing my heart rate monitor every workout and notice a huge difference in my recovery time also. Did you know the quicker you recover the more athletic you are? Yeah crazy shit for sure! 

I am loving the new me and loving my attitude towards life. I wrote something earlier in the week about how life throws you curve balls, well no matter what life throws at me I know I can achieve  it now and push through it! I was tested hard this week emotionally and physically, but I still tracked my diet and exercised everyday. Once you start you don't want to give up and let me tell you I didn't! It feels so good to know that I am on my period and not once craved a candy bar or ice-cream (Sorry boys but all of us girls have it so deal with it)  and anyone who knows me knows how much I LOVED my ice-cream! Remember bad carbs and sugar make cravings happen. As soon as you can minimize those two things you will be fine! So this week reach for whole wheat verses white, or turkey instead of beef and you will feel so much better when you do!

Before & Afters... Amazeballs

So my weigh in this week is still the same at 172. I did lose 1/2 in in each leg, but that's about it this week. I would like to think that my muscle mass is what's taking over, but I really don't know. I feel thinner each week, and really that's all that matters! Not to mention I finally reached my size 10 jeans! Which brings me to this blog... I know once a month you get to see my body transform, but I wanted to see how different my body looked in some of my old clothes. OH EM GEE this was so much fun! December 2011:   Dress size 14/16 You can't even tell in this after photo, but all that fabric in the stomach has about 2 inches from it to my belly. It also make me look like I have NO BOOBS at all! August 2012:  Dress size 12 I look like a sausage stuffed in that dress! GAH! Look how much longer it is on me now. (Way more appropriate) I even have to take this in just a tad in the chest. I love this dress so much more now than looking back! Wedding Day 2012:  Dress...

9 Week Update

It really is amazing what you can achieve when you put your mind to it. The last 9 weeks I have changed my eating habits, portion sizes, and added more time to work out in my schedule. I made it a priority and this is what has come of it so far...                                                       Week 1                                              Week 9 Weight=      -19 lbs                   207                                                   188 Waist=        -4.5"              ...

You do you, and I'll do me

I read a post the other day that triggered anger in me. It could have been because I read it right after I posted my last entry about all the wonderful things I am doing to get happy, healthy, and fit again...It could have been because I didn't completely agree with everything this person said, I don't know. Let me clarify, it was not about me. It was strictly an opinion of someones. You can ask anyone of my friends and family, I really value people's opinions and most of the time if I don't agree I usually am answering with a simple, "OK" along with a half smile and change of subject. (Now you know my secret, Ha!) I hate confrontation or arguing opinions because those are someones true beliefs and when you truly believe something why go round and round with them to get nowhere! I don't have time for that. I'll let you say your peace and I will say mine, if we don't agree, we move on. It's simple. But here is my peace... Four years ago ...
