measurements.

I think that it is extremely hard to find accurate information while you are trying to de research about body types, diets, weight and all sorts of other diet and nutrition information.  For this reason I want to be as honest as I can with this:

as of today i am 140 pounds (with cloths and running shoes on) and 5 feet 8 inches.

Waist: 27.5
Hips: 35
Thigh: 23 3/4 (woof)

I carry all of my weigh in my thighs and butt.

I also know I am at the point in dieting and exercising that I will never loose anything else until I get some muscle and start getting strong.  But since I one day hope to be a Roller Derby girl, I should probably get strong.

I have just about 6 weeks to get physically buff before I enter the mission field.  Then I can get all spiritually buff.  Then I can come home that much closer to my Personal 10.

Last Chance Work Out

I have just over a month to get these last ten pounds off and get into fighting shape for my mission.  Today I got up early and ran four miles with Alicia and Cody and went to wal mart to buy some equipment.  I am kind of learning as I go, but I am going to try to do some sort of cardio and strength each day and this killer ab/jump rope combo and Alicia and I have done a bunch every other day.  Here is my progress, my thoughts, my journal, and my desires.

This is my weekly plan:

Monday:
Run 4-5 miles
NTC get lean

Tuesday:
Run 4-5 miles
Jump/Abs

Wednesday:
Run 4-5 miles
NTC get lean

Thursday:
Run 4-5 miles
Jump/Abs

Friday:
Run 4-5 miles
NTC get lean

Saturday:
Long Run
Jump/Abs

Sunday:
OFF ALL

and of course eat 1200 cs a day.

Dream Big.

Tomorrow I start my journey to grow my wings back.  Tonight as a last supper before I kick it back into fitness mode, I made waffles.
I love breakfast food.

Starting early tomorrow morning (which means I've got to get up early) I am running three miles each day as well as doing the Jillian Michaels 30 day shread.  In addition I am going to go nack on the slim fast diet until I have completed the DVD.

In about 6 weeks I should be fit and strong.

I posted my 'starting pics' this weekend and will probably just do updates each friday.

EMPTY THE PACK AND WATCH YOUR WINGS GROW BACK.

Last Summer:

The Past three are from today.


Me and Jonathan went for a LONG bike ride this morning.... then I ran three miles with Frank and walked 7 with Cooper.....

Starting monday I'm doing 30DS and slim fast with saturdays as cheat diet days and EXTRA work out days.


we'll see where I am at next weekend.

The Final Push

I am pretty sure there is no way I can get these last ten pounds off without doing some form of strength training--running is going great!  I can easily do 3 miles a day, and getting better at going closer to 5 comfortably a couple days a week.  Ideally I would like to get to where I can run 10 - 12 miles a day, but all in time.

For the next month I am going to keep running and biking for x-training and in addition to this, do the Jillian Michaels 30 day shread monday-friday each week and her 6 week 6 pack every saturday.

For good measure and to make it easier to sort through everything and stay on track I am going to go back on the Slim Fast diet for this month as well.

Yesterday was day 1, tonight when I get home from work I will get my starting pictures and information.  I think I will update each friday with new pictures and progress and just use this blog to track my feelings and goals.

I need to shake off my demons, put the poison on the shelf, and learn to listen to my body instead of my head.

007.

I came home from the cabin with a sore lower back from wakeboarding, a sore neck from tubing whiplash, sore upper body from holding on for dear life, and sore skin from being burnt.

006.

As of today I officially have 2 months to get things together and blast off these last 8 pounds and reach my goal.  It's fast approaching, but I am determined to succeed--espically after everyone made fun of me for buying a shake weight.  They might have probably cause, but I will prove them.

Tomorrow is July 1st and officially the start of my training period.  I have drafted this as a rough workout plan:

For breakfasts during this 28 day period I think I will wake up, grab a fiber one bar a couple days a week and a glass of milk on the rest.  Then I will go on my run with frank, do ABS and have a slim fast before I get ready for work.  This should all take about 90 minutes so I should be good if I get up at 5 each day.

Monday: STRENGTH:
-morning run with frank
-total body tone up WH
Tuesday: CARDIO:
-morning run with frank
-20 minute tredmil circuit with weights
Wednesday: STRENGTH:
-morning run with frank
-total body tone up WH
Thursday: CARDIO:
-morning run with frank
-20 minute tredmil circuit with weights
Friday: STRENGTH:
-morning run with frank
-total body tone up WH
Saturday: CARDIO (Play Day):
-GYM: Hip Hop and Pilates
-Bike Ride
-Disc
-BE ACTIVE
Sunday: REST

After this, all I need to do is stick to my diet, and remember that I AM A GOOD THING FOR ME TO INVEST TIME ADN EFFORT INTO.
