Staying motivated

Desire88 — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 09:55:53 +0000

Staying motivated has been a problem for me in the past. I am now looking for ways to stay motivated and keeping moving to reach my goals. One of the things I have recently tried is getting early to work out. It has been truely amazing. I feel that I can focus alot better, which is important to building muscle.

Next week my work routine will be changing. I like to change it every 4 weeks to keep my body guessing. I also decided tonight that I will be adding in afternoon cardio. I believe this will help me to reach my goals. I believe the cardio I do in the morning is good but not enough. Making all these changes helps keep me on my toes and going. I will not be taking any steps back this time. I am putting myself 1st.

Knowledge is Power

I have been reading up on how to eat and what work outs work best to get me that lean womenly body I would like to have. It’s very hard for me to do both at the same time. I need to find my balance and I haven’t found it yet. I know it will come in the main time i will enjoy my great reads. I still do not have a scale to really update my weight. Not sure if i really want to know anyway. Lol, let me keep positive and keep moving forward.

Starting New

Desire88 — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 09:49:29 +0000

hello it’s been a while since i have been on here. i have been busy working and moving out on my own for the 1st time. sad to say during that time i have let my exercise and eatting habits slip. everyday is a new day right. i started back today. now that i do not have access to a home gym i am going to have to get creative. i like running so i may be doing that but my running shoes need to be shipped to my new place. ok i’m rambling now. lol

i am not mad about the weight gain because i did this to myself. i am ready to take control and do something about it. time to build some muscle and burn some fat, well alot of fat. thanks for reading.

update

Desire88 — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 05:31:50 +0000

everything has been going well. now that have one new job i feel a little better. i still need one more job just to make paying the bills and saving money and money for school easier.( something tells me it doesn’t get easier though) but i will remain in being positive. my mind make over in going great so far. i have stopped biting my nails and i am now working on forgiving myself and people who are no longer in my life. holding on is causing me stress and i didn’t even know it. now i am ready to move on.

as far as my workouts i have been keeping up with my five days a week and healthy eating. my clothes are getting a little loose on me and that feels good. my arms re more defined than they have every been. so i now working on my legs and abs oh and my back. i would like to have a nice lean back. i want my body to be evenly toned all over. i am also working on cooking my own meals again to keep me from eating foods that are not good for me. i have also started reading books on health and healthy eating. i have to say i am going in the right direction and hope to continue down that road.

Progress Pixs

Desire88 — Sun, 11 May 2008 23:43:08 +0000

i had to write this to better explain my downfall in my progress pixs. i was working at a job where i had to work 52 hours a week. not only that they treated us to lunch like like once a week. of course it was nothing healthy at all and it was free. anywho the job left me tried and with not time to do anything. by time i got home i just wanted some me time in my bed. that was it. i let that job go because i felt like it was taking away who i was as a person. i was not free to be me and the pay was not even worth it.

now i am on the hunt for a job that will make me happy and i am trying to get my body back in tip top shape.( i was there once upon a time) i have realized my body constantly needs to have new exercises. i don’t get bored with them but my body does. it’s hard for me to find new things to do far as working out since i do it a home. i will do my best to make it work, so far as inches i have been doing great but as weight i suck. i almost fell like the scale has gone up 5 pounds every month, it’s getting crazy. so what i have been doing is i put myself on a 1200 calorie diet, eating healthy food while continuing to work out and weight train. i have also added in this ab ball. i hope everything comes together in two months. i at least want to be bikini ready.

new program

Desire88 — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 05:20:14 +0000

i added a new machine to my work out. i am doing chest presses now something else. lol i don’t know what it is called but it works my arms and back. i’s sore already and it isn’t even the next day yet. i am hoping along with everything else it will help shape my body. would be nice it if gets rid of the upper back fat. something tells me i am not that lucky. all i can do is keep trying.

i was sick.

Desire88 — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 06:43:59 +0000

for the pass week and a half i have been sick. before that i was so sore i couldn’t work out. i am so upset because i feel like i lost most of the muscles in my abs i worked hard to get. i’m all bloated now. just to make sure i am better i will start working out this up coming monday. i’m looking forward to feeling strong again.

i haven’t been hat sick in a long time. i missed two days of work and everything. they still wanted me to come to work which i did but made things worse. i decided i ha to take two days off to get well. other than that i don’t think i would have ever gotten better. wish me luck as i will soon be looking good again. i’ll be posting pixs soon.

Doing Great!

i love the changes i have made so far in my health. i don’t feel so depressed right now and i do have more energy to work out and do anything esle that needs to be done. i have done well with not drinking soda it has been a month. i am still working on lowering the sugar amount i have which isn’t that bad to begin with. next i will start working on salt.

the work outs have been going great. so far it has been two weeks and i have made my five work outs a week. i’m very proud of myself and i am starting to see the results with my clean eatting and exercise and it’s nice to know i can have the body i want. don’t get me wrong it is very hard to keep my cheat meals to one meal a week. that i still need to work on. wish me luck!

180 pounds

Desire88 — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 09:10:27 +0000

it’s amazing how those number on the scale can just run your life. i tried not to be like that but when i saw that 180 on the scale. i got so mad. i have never been that big nore did i want to. i did my usual working out and trying to get back to my clean eatting. when you taste junk food sometimes it taste so good. so i need to retrain my mind and body. remind myself why i am doing this in the 1st place.

i want and stood in the mirror naked and looked at myself. i loved the way i looked. i love my big butt, thighs, and boobs. so i want to work on my mid section and my arms. i do work on my legs as well so i do not look uneven. but when i am done which my work will never be done. i’m gonna be a killer babe. i decided not to read into the scale as much. i can’t let it run my life. i need to focus on the important. like good health and a long life.

Cardio

Desire88 — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 04:24:14 +0000

i had read a article about how you only need 3 hours of cardio a week. i’ve been testing that for the past two weeks. i am seeing results on top of my healthy eatting. i am considering trying some more supplements. oh and i need to start taking more protein again. it’s like i start but then i stop because of running out of milk in the house. but i am going to get it together and stay that way.
