Dead. So dead
So today was my first day of P90X. Ive done it before, but never made it to a month. The main problem as been I am either too exhausted to finish the exercises, or Im falling all over the place trying to do them - its like Im totally wasted or something. But regardless, I always feel sore, and it definitely makes me realize the gym isn’t doing as much for me as I think it is.
So I think Im...
Oh, hi there...
So I havent been on here in, geez, a month or so? I guess I’ve been feeling ashamed. Basically, I began to get frustrated with my lack of results. I felt like I tried my hardest for 2 months and lost literally nothing. I went and had my doctors appointment, and my doctor wasn’t very helpful. However, for some reason she literally doubled my dose of metformin. I haven’t noticed...

A Change!
So, according to my scale I have dropped another pound - YAY! Im forcing myself to be happy instead of wishing I had lost more haha.
Ive said this before but now that Ive gotten use to all the other changes Ive made, I think Im actually ready to start documenting what Im eating. I think Im gonna focus on that and making sure Im REALLY on top of my eating, and then start recording my work outs...
Baby Win
Today was my first attempt at HIIT style cardio. I decided to do that instead of legs. Now, I dont have the best knees in the world, and because of my extra weight, that just makes it worse. So I decided to attempt the same concept on a stationary bike. Heres what I did:
Warm up: 2 minutes
45 seconds medium pace, 15 all out - total of 10 minutes
25 minutes of medium to low pace
1 minute...
YAYYYs
So, the past 2 weeks or so, my lovely scale and that of the gym thats been telling me I gained 2 pounds. I wasnt sure why, but considering I have been working out for almost a month, I was MEGA discouraged. Like, seriously. But here were some things that kept me going:
1. I took my measurements and compared them to the ones I took around January, almost Febuarary. In Febuary I was around 208, so...

1.5 Weeks
So, I weighed myself today and it seems Im up 2 pounds. I dont feel it, but I havent been eating as perfect as I would like. But I also have noticed I feel a lot toner and stronger, so Im gonna assume some of that is muscle gain?
Now that I am not stressing over school (last final was yesterday - woo!) I feel like I can truly focusing on getting this new life style down. Soon it will become to...
Personal victories
So looking at the scale, not a lot has happened. Or rather not as much as I’d want. But four small things happened that have majorly encouraged me, and I know they are silly, but they made me happy:
1. My best friend who I havent seen since December came home for a few days. In December, my weight was around 207, maybe 208. So very close to right now, so to her, it probably looked like...
Vent session.
So, this is gonna sound absolutely retarded, but I am on the verge of tears.
Thanks to my lovely PCOS Im having a really intense shark week, and of course its right before my last final. This weekend was me and my boyfriends anniversary, so I told myself I wouldnt study and just enjoy my time with him, and Id study monday and tuesday for my final on wednesday. However here it is, 8:30 on monday...

Better
So, so far this week I have gone to the gym monday, tuesday and wednesday. Might not seem like much but it meant I broke my streek from last week. Im feeling really good about it. I know I havent lost a ton of weight, but Im feel more confident about my body in a weird way. I guess when I feel myself sore, I feel…. Proud.
According to my scale I lost another 2 pounds. Not sure how accurate...
Easter
So last week, yet again, because of family and easter and what not, I only went to the gym twice. Not acceptable. At. All. Im still slowly losing, which is good. Im worried though because this metformin definitely surpresses my appetite. Like, I never want to eat, ever. Nothing sounds good - yet my body is still addicted to sugar I think, sooo I somehow still crave that. Which makes this whole...
I hate shopping.
I wish somehow I could just wear PJ pants until I lose all the weight.
It is so discouraging.

I dream about it all the time, what I will look like once I get down to a healthy weight. It’s always on my mind, the possibilities of what my body will look like, my face.
Time and again, people have asked me to give out reasons for going on this journey, and to be honest, I always say the same…
I know exactly what you mean. This is one of my biggest motivating...

DAMN I AM A RENAISSANCE PAINTING.
My self-perception has just drastically changed.
LOLS I am a fan of this mentality.
LOLZ love this.
Loooove this <3
Yay!
So Im not sure if this is a scale glitch, but I believe I just lost another pound. Again, this could be wrong, because a few days ago the scale said I was back up to 210. Im hoping this was because of the time I weighed myself however, and not because of lack of progress. I was really discouraged the other night, and my mom walked in and was like “Youre looking really good! I can tell...
Ruined my eating day yet again. Dont even know why. At night for some reason I have no self control. I need to just go to bed or something when this happens. My brother made a gluten free cake and bought a bunch of glutten free treats, annnnd I totally eat far too much. I feel digusting now. Never again. (Or thats the plan anyways)
Off to sleep - tons of school to do tomorrow. Rawr.
BlahBlahBlahhhh
So today it was almost 90 degrees out. Considering it was like 40 a few days ago, it came as a bit of a shock. For breakfast I had half a grape fruit and a bowl of nonfat yogurt with black berries. Then I headed to class, had an apple, cheese stick and some nuts for snacks. Headed home and thought I’d go to the gym, but honestly, I just dont have the energy. I think my body needs to adjust...
Metformin
So yesterday I had to take a saliva test, in order to look at how my body handles insulin. For this test, I had to eat bread. This of course let me into eating poorly for most of the day. And of course, I didnt go to the gym. As for today, I started the metformin finally. Im actually really excited about it - however I immediately saw some of the negative side effects my doctor mentioned. Im not...
So after my little pity party last night, I woke up feeling pretty lame. Its been extremely dark and gloomy here, with major thunder storms and insane amounts of rain - this of course made me feel like it was still night and slept far too long lol But I eventually got up and hit the gym. Im glad I did, as usual. It felt great and I really am pushing myself more and more, yet I dont feel like its...

So I didnt work out yesterday or today, and I feel like total crap about it. TOTAL crap.
Me and my sister went to the mall (she had to buy some things for a trip) and so I tried on a few things… WAY more discouraged. WAY more. I seriously dont understand how I even have a boyfriend. It blows my mind daily.
I guess the point is Im extremely discouraged. I know Im just starting, but I feel...
Day 7
So today is the official 1 week mark of me getting healthy, although I took Sunday off and little to no physical activity. Monday I didnt hit the gym but I tried to walk a good amount. I definitely didn’t break a sweat doing it, but it was better than nothing. I weighed myself today at the gym since it’s way better than my scale at home, and apparently I lost 2 pounds. Like I said...
Day 6...ish
So once again I dont have a ton of time, and I should probably be studying. But I wanted to do a quick post. This morning I woke up feeling pretty terrible but I decided to go to the gym anyways, even if I could only go for around 45 minutes. But it was still really good I think.
I weighed myself, even though it hasnt even been a week, and it appears I lost around a pound lol. I realize that...
Here we go again
So I had a personal tumblr, but I wanted to make this one soley to keep track of my process of getting healthy. I feel like if I put pictures, or my weight up on my other tumblr, I would get far too much criticism from personal friends. This way is just easier. Just me, the internet, and a whole tumblr full of inspiration. I will make sure I write a full post asap on how I ended up where I am...
