1 month update: Operation HAB

Okay, okay, okay! 

I haven't been as good as I should have been. :(

But starting this week I have been doing better with working out. I have jog/walked 2.49 miles 4 days out of 7 so far! Even with as hot as hell as it's been lately. :) {115 on Saturday and Sunday} 

Ive been doing so-so on the diet part! I can be a lot better. I NEED to be a lot better. So that means no more cookies for breakfast?!? :( 

Seeing these measurements and seeing that they haven't budged at all in a month is depressing. So hopefully that'll be the push I need to be more strict this next month. :) 

In addition to all the weight loss adventures, I have also taken on another full time "adventure". I started school again full time this passed Monday and couldn't be more excited. :) 

Yay!

That's all for now.

*Operation Hot Ass Bride*

So I don't know how many times I've said "okay I'm getting strict this time" haha but this is the real deal people! :) started my Operation Hot Ass Bride today!! :) as of this morning I am weighing in at 161.7lbs. My goal is 146 lbs by my wedding day, 2/21/14. And this WILL happen. I'm not so much worried about the number, as I am at wanting to be more toned. My flappy teacher arms, mama hips, and not so delightful thighs WILL all my more tight and toned by the time I put on my wedding dress. :)

Day #2 of a healthier life <3

Okay!! So today is just about over (for me anyways *yawn*) it was not nearly as hard as I thought it would be! Didn't cheat! Yay! And even better news... I weighed in at 158.8 lbs this am! :) so let's just say I'm excited to go to bed just so I can wake up and weigh in again. Haha

Anyways..

Day 2:

Breakfast- 1 egg, 1 thin bagel, 1/2 banana
Lunch- 1 egg, 5 saltine crackers, 1 c cottage cheese
Dinner- 3 oz grilled chicken, 1 c steamed broccoli, 1/2 banana, 1/2 c ice cream

And I failed at the no iced tea today, but shoot its unsweetened, no harm right?!?

But I did however complete a second date with Jillian Michaels, and man o man am I feeling it now. My bootay and legs are sore.. And I'm LOVING it! :)

That's all for now.

Toodles! <3

Back at it for a NEW New Years Resolution :D

Okay! For those of you who have been following me for a year now when I first started this healthier lifestyle journey.. Thank you! Your kind words and support have been amazing! :)

So some updates! I am still addicted to MyFitnessPal app. I still weigh myself daily (I feel it helps me keep making better decisions when it comes to eating and exercising!)

Today, along with my daily routine, I have decided to attempt the "Military diet" or "3 day diet" as seen all over the world wide web and Pinterest. :) You can do it as a quick weight loss before a special occasion (mine is my bfs surprise bday party this Saturday!!) or you can continue doing it 3 days on and 4 days off.

Day 1: Had consisted of:

Breakfast- 1/2 medium grapefruit, 1 slice of toast, 2 tbs of creamy peanut butter.

Lunch- 1 slice of whole wheat bread, 1/2 cup of plain canned tuna.

Dinner- 3oz of 95/5 ground beef, 1 cup plain canned green beans, 1/2 medium banana. (I skipped the cup of vanilla ice cream, just couldn't down it.)

Day 1 in all was not as bad as I thought. And surprisingly neither in plain tuna. Haha

The only thing I MIGHT have to change is the [iced tea] only on Day 1 rule. I'm a QT mango tea addict! I confess. Haha. But I am going to TRY my hardest!! :)

And then on top of the "diet" change , I have gone completely off the board and started Jillian Michaels 30 day shred workout. And let me tell you, she kicked my booootay! Haha.

I'll update you all tomorrow on how {sore} I am in the morning! :)

Weight: 164.6 (down 38.6 lbs)
