SO I will be turning 20 in August and I had honestly thought that I would be at my goal weight by then...yeah sadly not going to happen. However I am back on the band wagon ladies. I am going to my second physical therapy appointment on Friday and I am pumped. I love my PT lady and she was so sweet. Number 1 thing she stressed the most about keeping my back pain free was to lose the weight. So with the friendly advice I am ready to get it together.
For the past 3-4 weeks I have been very proud of myself. Although my eating habits have been atrocious I have been stretching every night. I was doing yoga for two weeks straight and my back started to hurt so I slowed down and started to just stretch. SO far so good! You know when they say that in regards to exercise repetition once you pass the three week mark it will usually become a habit. That's what I'm hoping for! That is my way of strength training and building strong lean muscles. I just need to work on my cardio and eating habits. What else is new? haha So I am back to walking the park and walking at home with those videos. My goal is to just do 30 minutes a day of activity or just be active as much as possible. Keep you fingers crossed for me ladies. There is no way that when I reach my 21st birthday I will be unhappy with my body. Unacceptable! haha We have all been so close to our goal and for some unknown reason we give up when it's just beyond our reach. Not anymore!!! We can and need to do this!
I currently fit into a size 16 dress and swim suit! Yup not okay! Hopefully by the end of summer I can get back to a 12. I wish I could just wake up in the morning and be skinny but that is not going to happen, and I know that it's going to be a struggle! I will literally be fighting for my life but it will get easier in time. Plus it's worth it :). So here's to summer...may it bring new hope and sexy new bodies!
Goal's for the end of June: 4 pounds lost, membership to gym, constant motion, and stretches every night/day.
I've missed you guys!
SAMMY!!!!!! I am so glad to hear from you...you have no idea how I have missed you. HAPPY upcoming BIRTHDAY!
ReplyDeleteI am proud of you for getting back on the banwagon. Way to go. I haven't been going to the Y for a while, because it is so nice out I have been walk/jogging on the beach. So far July has been good for activity not good for eating. Please god no more bbq's with their good fattening foods.
July Goal: workout three times a week and watch what I shovel into my mouth!!
Thanks Molly! I totally agree about the BBQ's talk about a tough 4th of July haha. I'm being more active finally and my eating has calmed down but man is it hard! Im swimming again and so far so good. We can do this!! I'm excited for July :)
ReplyDeleteMe too! Oh and I know that date of my reunion now it is August 27th. I am excited and nervous. I had to have blood work done yesterday because I found a small lump in my neck. waiting for results. I think it may just be a swollen lymphnode. OMG I went jogging on the beach Tuesday and lost track of time and space...an hour and a half later I finally got back to my car and guess what?? I wasn't even sore the next day!! But my lung capacity is definatley down.
ReplyDeleteYes Sammy we CAN do this!!
