I hope i can motivate all of you as much as you motivate me
Most of the pictures I post myself on here are my original photography/motivational words. I Hope they inspire you.
I post workouts every Monday and Wednesday that I do in my circuit training class, they are very effective if you want to give them a try
feel free to ask me anything
Age: 21
Height: 5' 1" (I'm pretty short)
Starting weight: 153 (Aug 2011)
Current weight: 133 (Today)
Goal weight: 115
20 pounds down, 18 more to go! one.day.at.a.time
I just finished working out (lifting weights/cardio) and I feel so refreshed and awake now
Working out is my #1 pick-me-up :)
I feel great!
I’m really starting to lift heavy with my arms because I’m determined to get this muscle definition
I love Eva Longoria by the way!
Also, last night we went to this local vegan restaurant where on Tuesdays you pay a flat rate of $12 and you can have all you can eat vegan pizza and salad - they keep bringing you different types of pizza to your table for you to try. It was sooo good. I was a little weary of the “all you can eat” part but each slice they came around with was only like this big:
so you can try a lot of different kinds of flavors without getting too full :)
My favorite was one with mushrooms, zucchinis, and carrots (carrots are surprisingly yummy on pizza!)
I will definitly be going back again.
Forgot to post yesterday’s workout - so here it is - abs are so sore today from doing 1500 flutter kicks - totally worth it though!
In case you didn’t know:
Here is an elbow pushup example
Here is a flutter kick example
Breakfast:
1 piece of toast
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 cup vanilla almond milk
Snack (only if I’ve lifted weights):
1 cup chocolate milk
Lunch:
salad (spinach or romaine)
1 can of tuna (or chicken breast)
1/2 avadado
2 tbsp honey mustard dressing
Snack:
1 string cheese
1 small palmful of pistachios
Dinner (usually anything just a small portion) BUT an ideal dinner is:
grilled chicken or fish with roasted sweet potatoes, carrots, and parsnips.
All of this is usually ~1500 calories
definitly think I can do it
biggest pet peeve on here
I still have clothes from back in the day from when I was smaller that I’m slowly size by size fitting into. Makes me so happy to see my progress this way
can’t wait to get down to my UGW/size and buy a whole new wardrobe (I’ve saved so much money not buying clothes every time I visit the mall for the past 6 months) I’ve seemed to have broken that addiction
This circuit, is fast, yet very effective - it will get your heart rate up as well as work your muscles
Thrusters example - make sure when you squat down, you squat bellow your knees/parallel
You can find it here - this is a great high intensity full body workout circuit that very clearly details each move that you need to do.
Now I just need to muster up the energy to start!
Today’s circuit - do it fast - sweat a lot - feel great afterwards.
Yes, you may think it’s disgusting that I love this [holiday?] so much, but I really do!
I have a clear list of things I need to do today:
On a more fitness related note, my entire core (front, back, sides) is so sore from yesterday’s workout - going to try it again in a couple of days to see if I can improve my time.
Here is today’s workout, same as a while ago except instead of 3 sets we did 5 sets.
Full sit ups - touch the floor behind your head and then sit all the way up and touch your toes (with bent knees)
This took me ~20 minutes to complete
Choose healthy options and avoid the guilt
I used to be SO unhealthy - for once in my life, I am healthy, I am strong, I am fit. I may not be as skinny as I have ever been, but I am in the best shape I’ve ever been in my life. I don’t feed my body garbage anymore. I actually crave the GYM. I crave healthy food. This isn’t a struggle for me anymore this is truly a lifestyle
