Well hello you peeps!
I know “peeps” went out a long time ago…lol. So this is my first blog EVER. I am 22, female and reside all over the place.
I have decided that I don’t just want to loose weight, I want to be in the best damn shape I have ever been in. I know a lot of you might be trying to lose, and trust me, I know what its like to one day wake up and say… WTF? I have stretch marks! I gained quite a bit of weight in a very short amount of time… Like 4 months maybe? I noticed that my pants were becoming tight, then one day I was putting my hair up and OH, GOD. I had stretch marks on my underarms! Friiiiiig. I haven’t been like, unknown to them or something. I got them under the knees when I was like 15, and I have been embarrassed ever since.
I am going to make another topic on those….check it out if you have em too. ANYWHO, the whole weight thingy. I got to be a size 13/14. Ahhh… I am short too, so you can imagine I really look, ahem… more robust than normal. (P.S for people that are STILL reading- I’m not really sure what the limit is for talking-writing- but I’m sorry if I am extremely boring, I’m sure you can just skim…) So I kind of had a breaking point, and yes… I resorted to some pretty rash actions. Like pills… no not bennies or yellows or something… but Tyrosine pills (technically the kind I bought was called a “vitamin” with this stuff in it.) Trust me if ANY of you guys or gals is using this stuff… stop right now. This totally f*s with your system, and eventually does the opposite long term of what you want short term. Yucky stuff. So I was totally crying and shit and very unhappy. Talked to a good friend (best friend in fact) who knows a lot about the body and how it works, and nutrition etc. So, like everything under the sun. I made my own work out plan, which consists of an hour every day 5 days a week.
1. About 30 mins of a high pace but not racing walk.
2. I do biceps, triceps, and upper back (not as complicated as it sounds)
3. A series of floor exercises
4. Stretching/ yoga meditation… This part isn’t long, but it’s good to thank yourself and your body afterwards. Its actually really peaceful, because I do this part outside too, and I can face the sun with my eyes closed while I warm down. Ahhhh I loooove that part.
So I have been doing that since March 7 this year, but I only started the diet (which is actually just a new way of eating) last week, and in one week I lost 1/2 an inch off my waist. Crazy eh?
So you guys I am working hard to get to my goal, and hopefully I can be supportive, and maybe even helpful, because I did TOOOOONSSSSSSSSSS of research myself on workouts, high impact, low impact, cardio, yoga, pilates, strength training… etc. etc. etc. So if you have a question and I can help, or at least point you in the right direction, I will. :)
