It’s hard work; yes, mister! Since my life consists of work and working out, you all might notice a certain trend in my blogs. I’ve been putting off really starting to bust my ass (however, that is one place I don’t have to worry about working out as much), because of school and work. But, at the beginning of May, I got a gym membership and tried really hard to go as much as possible. At the beginning of June, I started work, which made working out regularly difficult. Within a week or two, my boyfriend opted to go and get his own gym membership.
What help! Instead of relaxing, or going out for coffee (or a beer), we could go to the gym together. And let me tell you, it’s been working.
Last week, the day of my twenty-first birthday, I said, “That’s it! Today is the day, the diet and fitness will head into full force.” And it begun. I weighed myself, and took my measurements. There was no turning back.
Well, it’s been tough. A week and a half of this. I try to obtain a calorie deficit of no less than five hundred, by eating well throughout the day (my current calorie intake is no more that 1700, but seems to be averaging around 1400), paired up with taking my vitamins and trying to work out every day. Thus far - since I’ve begun this - the only day I didn’t work out was Sunday.
I’ve had one weigh in so far; I do them every Monday after work. I’ve lost five pounds, and a total of seven inches! (Not around my waist/hips alone, of course.) This was a good day to say the least.
I’m hoping my next weigh in will provide me with as good results as I’m hoping for. If I end of gaining (I’ll try my best to avoid the beers this weekend), it’s all muscle, people! You’ve got to build muscle in order to burn fat, of course!
Anyways, half of you probably don’t give two shits about my diet and fitness (although, I didn’t really touch much base on what they consist of), but hey. It’s my blog, so shut it! Maybe I’ll go into more detail about my diet and fitness in later blogs. Maybe include some healthy recipes that I’ll try when I head back to school. Who knows.
Ew. School is a month and a week away. It’s a good thing my gym membership is transferable. #GoodLife

P.S. Expect a Walmart Haul soon. Oh yes, people. Walmart Haul.

What the hell is a walmart haul?
ReplyDeleteI applaud your actual attempts at losing weight! I do believe we've spent the first (of many years) of our friendship talking about this "weight loss, lets be gorgeous models" goal of ours but neither actually did anything about it. It's nice to see you taking active steps to go about it. Maybe I'll finally be inspired to drop that last 20 I wanted to shed (Or I'll just continue to be a lard and read about you doing it, while sitting here, doing nothing.)
Whats your weight loss goal?
