Beauty Revealed…

I feel so different this time. I can’t believe I’m sticking to this nutrition plan I was given. The weight training killed me again today but it’s killing the fat me so I’m glad about it. I used a heart rate monitor for the first time today for my cardio. Yeah I know I’m a little behind on the techs. But, now that I have a trainer I am learning so much. Well Here goes to week 2!

Well,

Bad news first. I was using calipers to record my bodyfat percentage and I thought I was doing pretty good. Well I bought a bodyfat scale and it says that my body fat is 38 percent. WOW, the calipers said 29. I was hoping that the calipers where right but after looking at some other people’s numbers I think my bodyfat scale is right. Anyway, I’m not discouraged because I have been making slow but steady progress.

 Which leads to the good news. I lot another 2lbs of fat. Yes! I have started being more discplined in my eating. I still have my days where I eat unclean but now it’s 1 or 2 days out of the week….2 if I got stuff on my mind. before I was eating 1 or 2 days clean and the rest unclean so I am making progress. I’ve been working out like crazy but I think because I still have those 2 unclean days it slows down my weightloss. I bet if I was eating right 7 days a week I would lose alot more fat.

Which also brings me to another subject. July I am eating clean everyday except Sunday where I eat what I want but stay at the same calorie range. I’m at around 1400 which I know I should  be lower to lose more fat. I’m getting there it’s been more of a mental challenge than anything. Of course I didn’t meet my first goal and I’m 6lbs away from my second short-term goal. Tuesda is my deadline but I think if I stay focused this week I can drop a good 3lbs of fat.

I’ve started focusing on fatloss than weightloss overall. It’s when I actually lose fat that makes a difference not water and not muscle.  To be continued…

I know that’s not alot but as much as I have been slacking before I feel good about my few pounds lost. I’m really getting into this now. Much more focused and determined. The supplements that I started taking as helped me a lot. I really can see myself in a beautiful low cut sexy dress with the arms and back out in a 4 weeks on my anniversary. I won’t be the weight I wanted to be but I won’t be as big as I was before either.

This journey has been up and down emotionally for me. I’ve never had to fight so hard to stay focused! I Think it’s the combination of the midnight shift, having a child now and other stress that makes it much more difficult than before. But that makes me feel 3 times better when I do get through a week because I know that I accomplished something. So I have 11 lbs to go for my goal. Let’s see what I can do. Hopefully I will be able to give myself a big push these coming weeks…

If any of my bodyspace friends are curious as to why I changed my profile page it’s because I wanted something to go with my transformation. I wanted to use a name consistantly that would keep me in the mind of my goals.

GOGETTER! Well, I my choice came from a R&B song I heard that had a catchy chorus with this phrase. Even though the song was about gettin’ girls. It was clear that the point was that what ever you had to do to get what you want you did it…no questions asked! So that’s how I feel now about my fatloss goal. No matter what my personal situations are that seem to have derailed me over and over previously since last week I have stayed consistant in workouts and nutrition. I mean don’t get me wrong I’ve had a "No,No" here and there, but not at all how I was the first part of this journey.

I hope to continue to receive support from bodyspace…I think it’s great to have men and women who have disciplined themselves to be right there to show you how to do it too.
