Weight Loss | Week 3 & 4

Hey loves, just stopping by with this super quick update. In the last 2 weeks I`ve only been able to go to the gym twice. We have had some ridiculously cold weather lately. We even had the weather go down to -29 Celsius. Even though the weather was completely garbage I was able to drop 2lbs! I think that`s so fabulous, especially since I have fallen in love with the Starbucks Egg Nog Latte. I`m really hoping the weather warms up a bit. So I can make it to the gym next week. But in the mean time I will work in doing some at home workouts and hopefully I will get some results from it.

Weightloss | Week 1 & 2

Hey loves, this update is long over due. But I still wanted to tell you how everything is going. So my first week back at the gym I was able to loose a solid 2lbs; which is great. I only had a chance to go twice because of work. But when I did go I was able to put in a solid two hours of cardio. With me going back, I`m just starting with cardio until I get use to being back at the gym regularly. 

For my second week back at the gym I was only able to go once. I was a little disappointed because I wanted to stick with it. But the weather was horrible that week with snow storm warnings. Even though I wasn`t able to work out like I wanted to I was able to maintain the weight I loss and didn`t gain anything.

I`m super happy that I didn`t gain anything and with me being able to go back this week like I want to. I should be able to loose something this week as well. It doesn`t look like I will be adding yoga and Pilates to my routine yet. But I`m going to add some at home workouts and hopefully that will help me stay on track with my goals. Definitely will be back with another update very soon and tell you about my progress.

 

Weight Lose | Update

Hey loves, just wanted to pop in and share with you a quick update on my weight loss journey. When I first started I was doing great I has lost between 10-12lbs. But with work becoming busy and my other job needing me to work more shifts I`ve been slacking on a serious note. I honestly haven`t been to the gym in about 5 weeks I think now; and durning that time I`ve gained back about 8lbs. I`m not super happy about that but it`s a journey I`m trying to commit to.

With that being all said and done; today was my first day back to the gym and it was amazing. I just started off with cardio and I`m planning to do that only for the next couple of weeks. Once I get back into going to the gym regularly I`m going to we adding weights to my routine. 

Along with that I will be adding yoga and Zumba once a week to the mix. This time around I know exactly what days I will be going and it will always be the same from here on out as well. And I`m super pumped about it. Along with this set schedule, I have given myself a 3 month goal. By February I want to loose 25-30lbs; I`m going on my first vacation in about 4years. I`m currently weighing in at 158.3lbs and I think my goal is achievable. That means I have about 3 months to drop this extra weight I`m carrying around and it gives me a monthly goal I want to reach.

In addition to me starting over. I`m going to be updating you guys about every two weeks with my progress and let you know what`s helpings stay on track and what tools I`m using to help me get fit and toned as well. I would love to hear back from you guys if you have any awesome tips for me to try. As well if you`re a green smoothie drinker, I would love to her what you put in your smoothie.

I’m Fat...

...So what? Honestly, I’m not here trying to get or have people to tell me I’m skinny or anything. It’s just a little rant. I’m completely tired of people, well family members, coming at me with “don’t you see you look like a whale,” “damn girl, did you notice you have 4 chins,” etc. That shit be getting on my nerves, like I know I ain’t skinny like I was back in high school but I’m alright with my size. Yeah before I was like oh I need to loose weight and everything but I finally embraced that I’m a bigger person. Like I won’t get back to 110lbs, if I do, I would be cool same with if I don’t that’s alright as well. Like I’m 157lbs right now, and I’m alright with it, so why can’t everyone else be happy?

Do people nag you about your weight gain, if so how do you handle it?

Weight Loss: Update

Hey ladies, I haven't posted a weight loss update in almost 2 months now. Well it's about a week or so before 2 months. I haven't really updated because I haven't lost or gained anything since my last weigh  in. I'm currently at 158.4 still. Maybe that's due to the fact that I'm pigging out alot and stressing about moving. I've gone back to eating alot of junk food and drinking alot of pop. I haven't done alot of excersizing at all. Just been walking alot: the park, 30mins - 3 hrs a day. Usually I just go to the mall and walk around in the amazing a/c like a nerd. But hopefully I can get out of this funk. And start dropping some pounds again soon.

See you in another update soon, I hope.

Weight Loss: Week 1

Hey ladies, so I’m back with another update. Yup I’m starting over again. Seeing I’ve lost so much since I got to Toronto and I missed so many weeks between , it seems fit to start again. So this past week, I was eating a lot of junk food but at the same time if I decided I wanted fast food I would only get half of what I really wanted. As well I’ve been eating a lot more fruits and vegetables and tons of walking. Still haven’t gone to the gym or anything like that. But I think if I keep up the walking daily it will be enough until I find out. When I got here my thighs would rub when I walk but now they don’t anymore, super excited about that as well. My tummy is getting a little flatter as well. I never use to be able to by jeans at Forever21 but now I can. That’s a highlight to all this weight I’m losing. Hopefully by my birthday, which is August 7, I will be down to 140. I’m currently weighing 158.4. I plan on trying to cut back on all the soda I drink as well and try to drink more water, honestly I think it tastes so awful, same with flavored water. So if you have any suggestions on how to make water taste better. Leave it in a comment below.

See you next week with another update!

Have an amazing weekend!

Weight Loss: Update

Hey ladies, I haven’t posted a weight loss update in over a month, maybe even 2 months now. Well after I moved out of my moms, I went up to 175lbs, pretty sure that’s the heaviest I have ever been. I hadn't been eating good or working out. Just a lot of stress with my plans for moving. When I left Calgary on June 2, 2011, I weighed 175.8. I've been in Toronto for almost 2 weeks now and as of today I’m down to 161.2lbs. So that basically means I lost 15lbs,  which I’m so happy with. Hopefully I can keep this up now.

I haven’t done much working out, but I’ve been walking a lot. Roughly 2 hours a day minimum. That’s due to me exploring the city and everything. As well, I haven’t been eating out a lot, or much junk food either. Been eating smaller portions and trying not to eat after 8pm, which is going pretty well.

I will be back soon, with another update.

Weight Loss: Week 8

Hey ladies, it’s been another rough week. I haven’t exercised at all these week. Except for the few items I walked to Shopper’s Drug Mart and Walmart. I guess you can count that as working out, seeing it takes about 30 minutes each way. I’ve stopped snacking on fast food, well not stopped but completely cut back. I’m up to 158 now but I’m alright with that, as long as I stay below 160 I will be alright. Tonight I’m getting back into walking on the treadmill, I finally put music on my Blackberry so now I can walk to my favourite soca and dancehall songs. I’m hoping to work pm the treadmill for atleast 45 minutes twice a day. Once when I wake up in the morning and before I go to sleep at night. And hopefully 3 times a week minimum. Hopefully I can get back into the flow of things.

Will be back next week with another update.

Getting Fit: Kinect Sports

Hey ladies, here is another game for 360 that I’m using to get fit. Yet again I personally don’t own this, my cousin does. But honestly I love this game. There are different games to play...from bowling to track and field. I honestly don’t like the track and field game not because it sucks but honestly it drains me so fast. I think I have to work up to that game, I’ve played it atleast once or twice when I’m using the xbox but I have to quit after that or I just wanna pass out lol. But my favourite game on there is bowling, I love playing online against other xboxers. I can’t wait to purchase a copy of my own once I move.

Have you played Kinect Sports? What’s your favourite game to play?

Weight Loss: Week 6 & 7

Hey ladies, so I have completely fallen off my routine. It’s not because I’m lazy or don’t want to, but I’m so drained from work. I went back to my old job because I haven’t heard anything from anyone else and I’m tired of not being able to do things I want and I’m trying to move. So I haven’t weighed myself since the last weigh in and I honestly don’t have the energy to do it now. I’ve been trying not to eat so much fast food, but it’s hard. So easy just to go to MacDonalds, Wendys etc. But I’m trying. Hopefully in these past 2 weeks I don’t gain some ridiculous amount of weight. Hopefully next week I will be able to work out and get back into eating healthy. I have the full week off :)

Be back soon with another update!

Getting Fit: Dance Central

Hey ladies, so I been posting about my weight loss, which I’m kind of behind on right now. But I will be updating very soon. So my brother got the limited edition 360 that came out for Halo, I believe, yeah don’t kill me I just don’t know lol. So he got it for his birthday but seeing he’s so many he lets everyone use it. Anyways for Christmas my folks picked up the Kinect for it. Love that thing, to make a long story short. I’ve been using it to help get fit. Dance Central is one of the games I really love to play. I personally don’t own it, but my cousin does and he brings it over every other day it seems and I’m always playing it. It’s so much fun, even though it truly pisses me off cause I can never seem to get a 4 start rating on the chanllenges. But that’s alright, there are so many different songs to use from. I honestly can play this for a hour straight with realizing that the time is going buy. Which makes it funnier for me to get fit. I would recommend this game if you want a way to work out without actually working out.

What’s your favourite Kinect game?

Weight Loss: Week 5

Hey ladies, so this past week I started working again, which means I been eating alot of fast food again. Which kind of killed me for this week’s weigh in. So this week I got back into working out, I’m not doing the traditional work out anymore for the moment. My brother has an xbox 360, so I been playing Kinect Games. It’s so much fun I’m not even going to lie. But for this week I weight 154.8, that means I only gained 1.8lbs from last week. But I think with me playing the Kinect 4 times a week, I should be able to lose more over the next couple of weeks and get below 150.

I will keep you posted on how it goes. Have an amazing day!

Weight Loss: Week 4

Hey ladies, here is another later post. So for that week I was slacking again, not as bad as the first week. I’m not really stressed about losing my weight anymore. I basically realized that it’s not going to happen overnight. So for week 4 I was at 153. I think I went up, but I’m 2 lazy to check from my last post. For week 5, which I will be posting right away, I did much better. I finally found a way to get into exercising without really exercising and I’m loving it.

See you in the next post about with my weight loss journey.

Weight Loss: Week 3

Hey ladies, this is my third week into trying to drop some pounds. This week was another week that I didn’t work out. All I did was basically run around with my daughter. I didn’t snack on any junk food and I’ve still been eating healthy. As well I have been trying not to eat any food after 8pm. And if I do, it’s just some fruits or vegetables. This week I’m down to 151.0lbs, this is 1.2lbs down. I’m super excited about that. I can’t wait to see how much I lose next week and figure out how much I lost in a month.

See you guys in next week’s post =]

Weight Loss: Week 2

Hey ladies, so this past week, I didn’t do as good. I was still eating healthy but I only worked out once. And I ate alot of candy. Oops lol oh well though. I still lost weight though, so I’m happy about that. I’m at 152.2lbs, this means I only lost 0.8lbs. That’s better than I thought it would be. I honestly thought I would gain 5lbs. But hopefully this week goes better. I haven’t exercised at all yet, but I’m planning on working out tonight for a bit. So wish me luck for a better week. See you soon for another update.

Weight Loss: Week 1

Hey ladies this is such a late update. So my first week of getting fit was hard. I only had a chance to work out 1 day. But I did pretty good, worked out for 30 mins. So I was able to eat healthy the whole week without snacking on a lot of junk food. Something I’m super proud of. So I current weight 153.0Lbs. This means I lost 3.4Lbs. This is super exciting. Hopefully when I do my weight in on Monday, I either stay the same or lose a couple of more pounds. Be back on Monday to let you know how it’s going. Wish me luck!

Weight Loss: Unmotivated

Hey ladies, I haven’t updated on my weight loss in a couple of months now. Many reasons to that, first I have been completely unmotivated to get on the treadmill or to actually work out. Second, seeing I’m having a hard time to find a new job all I do is eat. I just weighed myself and I currently weigh 156.4. I haven’t gained more than 3lbs at in the last couple of months, but I haven’t lost any as well. Like I’m honestly staying between 154-160. I don’t know what to do. But tonight after this post, it’s 1am, I’m going to go run on the treadmill. Hopefully I can keep it up, and do it every day this week. But we will see.

Off to work out now!

Weight Loss Update

Hey ladies. I have really stopped trying to lose weight these past few months. I haven't been active at all. Expect when I'm shopping or taking my princess and niece to the park. I have gained back most of the weight that I lost after having surgery back in April. So I have decided that I'm going try and get fit. With that being said I have come with a simple game plan that I'm going to try to stick to till at least January.

1. Eating healthier. Eating less junk food and not eating after 9pm.
2. Drink more water. Right now I'm drinking between 1 - 3 glasses. Going to try to drink 3 - 6 glasses.
3. Walking/running on the treadmill 3 times a week for 30 minutes. Will most likely be on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
4. Working out on the Leg Magic 2 or 3 times out of the weeks. Most likely Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
5. Lifting weights 5 days of the week. Rotating between arms and legs. Doing 2 reps of 15.

I will be trying to post weekly to update everyone on how my progress is going.

Till next time!

Work Out

Hey guys I wanted to share with you what I am doing at the gym to achieve my weight loss goals. I usually just work out for just 1 hour. I don’t need anymore than that a day. I should be going 4 days a week. Usually Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday or Sunday.

This is what my workout consists of:

1. 15 minutes on the bike at 80 mph on level 8.

2. The lower back machine at 80lbs and I do 8 reps.

3. The leg extension machine at 40lns and I do 8 reps.

4. The leg curl machine at 45lns and I do 8 reps.

5. The seated row machine at 40lbs and I do 8 reps.

6. The chest press machine at 40lbs and I do 8 reps.

7. The shoulder lateral raise machine at 30lbs and I do 8 reps.

8. The bicep machine at 35lbs and I do 8 reps.

9. the tricep machine at 35lbs and I do 8 reps.

10. The abdominal machine at 50lbs and I do 8 reps.

11. Repeat 2 – 10.

12. 10 minutes on the bike at 80 mph on level 8.

Weight Loss Journey!!

Hey guys I haven’t updated about it in a long time. I started my weight loss officially at 158lbs. That was my weight when I started at the gym. I was doing really well, I went 2 days in row. But I haven’t been in over a week, since my little princess got sick. But she is finally better so I’m heading back to the gym tomorrow. In that time of not going to the gym I gained 2lbs. I’m not happy about that but I wasn’t doing anything to prevent it either. At this time I haven’t done what my inches are yet, but hopefully I will do them this weekend and update everyone about it.

Till next time!
