Things are turning around!

Okay so thing are looking up! As I write this my body is soooooo sore! Mostly my legs I feel like I can't walk, it's great!  Last Thursday and yesterday I went to the gym twice in the same day! Awesome!  I have gotten back into spinning at 6am (I'm so not a morning person either) and yesterday I went back to the physique class at my gym as well. The class is so tough and now it is offered at 6am which is great for me because it is before class and work. I have no excuse! So off I went yesterday waking up at 5am and got back into it. I was nervous but it felt so good.

Although the scale hasn't moved at at I see different glimpses of me in the mirror as I pass by. I think things are toning up and looking good. I am still having a tough time with sweet things though, even as I have been typing this up I have snacked on a couple chocolate chips, but I'm not stressed.

My plan for the next little while until the end of March is to....
- spinning
- physique
- hot yoga
- sit ups and push ups ( I think there is something to be said about the classics)

April
- physique
- hot yoga
- skipping outside
- sit ups and push ups

May
- running/jogging
- physique
- skipping outside
- hot yoga
- sit ups and push ups

yay!!

Not So Great Start...

Okay, so there it was.... my first blog post, my best of intentions and a brand new year to back me up. However, here we are now, a month later, no more blog postings and still in the same physical shape (still the promise of a new year and fresh start on my mind).  


Let's get this ball rolling.  I'm sitting here with my green tea that I am trying to love. I know how good it is for you so I am trying to make it my 'go to' drink in these cold winter months, but honestly I just love a good latte! It's like a warm hug, soooooo good! I know green tea is far better for weight loss so I am trying to make a new habit.  It's not that I am saying no more lattes, just switch them around. New plan, drink lots of tea and still have lattes for treats!


Enough with the green tea chatter!  So my goals are still as follows, go from 195lbs to 145lbs.  I am flexible with the number, I just want to feel good, feel strong and loo good. I'm 5'7 so really when you add muscle into the equation that number for me could be anywhere from 130-150 lbs, who knows! But the point is that I find out! So I'm going to do this!!

Abs

These are the abs that I am going for, this is my ideal! Not too skinny with muscle, nice tan too...

Happy New Year!

So it is the first day of the New Year, I'm pretty excited.  It's 2012 and it is time for something new! Although I have been trying to get healthy for awhile now, I thought today for the first time that a blog might be a great way to get me motivated.  I love reading other healthy living/weight loss blogs, especially the before and after photos, so I thought what better way to get my self motivated than to put my own results out there! 

A bit of my background....  I am 27 years old and I live in Canada. This will sound stuck up but I've always thought I was really pretty and that I had a great figure and bone structure, just a little squidgy around the edges! (a little bit fore so lately!)  I am about 50 lbs. heavier than I want to be right now and I am sick of feeling heavy and weighed down.  I'm tired of not feeling good in my clothes and in my own skin.  I've had enough.  There is no more time left to waste.  This is it, enough is enough and this is the year.  This is the blog that will help keep me accountable and share my progress.

Cheers to the 'after' photos already!!

Thanks for reading!
