Almost time for progress pics. I think there will be a difference, albeit small.

I’m down to working out 3 days a week, my class is getting intense and I am in the process of transitioning between jobs. It will get better though, as soon as I start this new job I’ll have hours more condusive to my workout schedule.

Better than nothing though. I don’t want all my hard work to be for nothing.

50 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes arms and abs.

If I can manage to display a little self control and eat better, I think I’ll be seeing results faster. However, despite the fact that I’m eating like crap I still haven’t budged from 142lb because I’m working out so much.

I’ll get better!

I had to take 4 days off of the gym because of school and possibly a new career venture….

Anyways, yesterday was 50 min cardio and 20 minutes arms and abs. Today was only 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of legs and abs.

I’m finally noticing a difference in my body. Slow but sure. It’s stronger, more toned, and all around better looking I think.

I’m trying to find a new bathing suit for my next progress pictures! However, finding a two piece with some underwire support for top-heavy girls is a job in itself.

60 minutes of cardio and 40 minutes of arms and abs.

I’ve also found a killer sunless tanner, it’s called Ocean Potion Ever Glow, and it’s probably the most natural looking one I’ve used yet. I’ve tried coppertone, jergens, neutragena, and banana boat, and all of them make me look too orangy because my skin is so fair.

And it’s so cheap! I got a 20oz bottle for under $5 at walmart.

Woot.

I hour and 10 minutes cardio today. I also did 50 crunches. I am beginning to appreciate the cruel mistress that is the stair climber. I’m incorporating more minutes of it into my cardio routine.

I’m taking a rest day today. I have three days off as of tomorrow (for class) so I’ll rule the gym the rest of the week. My husband says I’ve lost weight, I’m not noticing it as much, but I feel really good and that’s good enough for me.

Just 40 minutes of cardio. That’s all I had time for.

I am proud to say, after weeks of being afraid of the stair climber, I decided to try it out. I did 15 minutes after my 30 minutes on the eliptical, and I don’t think I’ve ever sweated so much in my life.

I am now determined to be able to do the stair climber for 20 minutes in a few weeks.

I also did 20 minutes of arms and abs.

That’s it for today!

45 minutes cardio and 40 minutes legs and abs. I’m getting a whole lot stronger, I was able to keep the resistance on level 6 on the eliptical through the whole workout. Something that wasn’t possible three weeks ago.

I was weighed at the doctors today. Three weeks ago I was 150lbs, today I’m 142lbs. In a couple weeks I’m going to take new progress pics, I feel a little firmer and maybe a teeny bit smaller. Most importantly I feel really good.

I finally caved, I’m now incorporating seafood and fish into my diet. The vegan police can go ahead and get mad, but my body craves it, and I’m going to start listening to my body. I feel horrible, and I know it’s cheesy but I respectfully thank the fish for it’s sacrifice.

My gym has decided to stop carrying soy protien powder and will only supply whey….noooooooo! So I must find a cheap supplier for soy protien isolate.

50 minutes of cardio and 20 minutes weights, arms and abs. I usually don’t eat animal products but I had a piece of cajun smoked salmon with my post-workout shake for lunch and it was absolutely divine. I’ve been craving fish like something fierce, so I had it.

I’m in my second week of spring quarter, and I figure, that if I keep up the good work for the whole quarter I will reach my fitness goals by finals. So I can’t quit! I’m doing so good!

Another milestone; it’s my 4th month straight not purging. That’s really a huge step for me, after years and years of sabotaging my body this is the longest I’ve gone without giving in to my poison devil.

Thank you again for all of your messages and comments. Part of my sucess is because you all are so supportive!
