Living Healthy

Ask me anything   About Me   progress photos   

This is a blog I've created to document my journey in an attempt to live healthier and reach a healthier weight, after gaining ~20 pounds after my mom died after a 10 year battle with Breast Cancer in February 2011.

Right now I'm doing Insanity and I'm loving it! I'm trying to really motivate myself to stay fit and be healthier, while continuing to enjoy life and not depriving myself of some of the things I love-- just moderating them :)

My starting weight is 149.5lbs. I'm 20 years old and 5'4.

My highest weight was around 160-5, right before and after my mom died, but it came off quickly and without trying when I stopped constantly eating a couple months after she died.

My goal weight is anywhere between 125-135, but ultimately I just want to be in great shape, toned, and lose the jiggly bits :)

I know this is really dark, sorry! But I went to the beach wearing a bikini today and felt pretty good in it! Definitely still have a fair amount of fat to lose, but I’m also definitely seeing a big difference in my body since starting insanity :)

Yay for progress!

Know what I like about Max Interval Plyo?

there are only 2 rounds of “repeat 3 times”, and the last round is only once through. every time, I forget and they end after the first round of the 3rd set of exercises, and I’m like “that’s it?? THANK GOD!!!” cause at that point you’re dying :P

crap, it’s 9:30… I am wanting to leave around 11:30

I haven’t gotten out of bed yet and I still have to eat breakfast, do Insanity (Max Interval Plyo - 55min), shower, and pack for the beach.

and then it’s a 2 hr drive if there’s no traffic (fingers crossed)

I don’t wannaaaa get up guys hahaha.

mostly I really don’t feel like doing Insanity and I want to veg. but I’m going to the BEACH for god’s sake… of COURSE I should do Insanity before I leave! :P

I feel like I’m getting here. My tummy’s a little flabbier, my arms are toned but not quite as small, and my legs look great except that it’s a little fatty/dimply between my upper thigh and butt on the side.
It can be discouraging when I see these things in the mirror, but I’m so close to this. My muscle is there and is only ever improving, it’s just that I have a layer of fat that I’m getting rid of. And then? I’ll be looking like this. And she looks great!

Reblog if you still haven’t given up on your fitness journey!

I don’t think I’ll ever give up on it! Once you’re in shape, it’s pretty enjoyable, and even if I hit a plateau, quitting would only be counter productive. At least where I’ll be is better than where I was, and I want to keep it that way! :)

I had Max Interval Circuit today.

I really didn’t want to do it. but I did, and I pushed myself hard. I feel good. I’m seeing results. I’m seeing my muscles in my arms and shoulders.

I just wish my tummy was losing fat again, but it seems to be stuck where it is… hopefully more fat burning will kick in soon.

regardless, I’m starting to accept that it might take a long time til I get to my ideal body, even though I only want to lose 15ish lbs from where I am now.  but I’m realizing that I can and I will, and all it takes is working at it every day. My mindset is so different. I don’t feel like I ever want to stop being really active. I plan to continue being as active as possible and hopefully on a regime for… forever, really.
