I feel like all I do on here is TALK about all the things I want to do, but I swear I’m working at it lol. Just not as hard as I was a month ago. But now, it’s Do It December. November is gone and done. Not too bad of a month, but not good either. Well, it’s more like the last week and a half has been bad. But the first part of the month was good. I know weigh ins tomorrow are...

NSV!
I’m such a happy camper right now. Put on a bunch of old clothes that don’t fit anymore or never fit because I bought them as incentive to lose weight. THEY FIT NOW. Well a lot of it does. I’m so excited to wear my “new” clothes. (:
Plans for the next few days...
Tomorrow I am going to TRY to fit a run in. No promises though, I’m going to the Ravens game so it depends on what time we leave. I won’t be able to run Monday because I am going to see Ozzy Osbourne in concert right after school. Tuesday is going to be my chill day right before I start “Do It December”. I’m gonna try to not slack tomorrow and Monday but it’s...
I keep doing this thing where I’ll be REALLY good with my food and exercise for a few days and slowly start to let it slip…and then I’ll catch myself and get back into it, just to start slipping again a few days later. I really just need to make it through a good solid MONTH. Which is hard with all the holidays and things going on but I just need a solid chunk of time so I can...
Officially back on track tomorrow.
Things I Am Thankful For...
1. All the people in my life. Every single one of them. The ones I love, the ones I don’t, the ones I only knew for moments, friends, family, acquaintances. Every single person I have ever met has made such a difference in my life. I wouldn’t change a thing.
2. My house. I live in a house in a neighborhood near all my friends. My house has heating and air conditioning and I am always...
So, I had a really interesting night. And I really need to run right now. I need to think things out. Clear my head. I wish it wasn’t so late…
And not a single calorie was counted that day...
Up and at em bright an early. Gonna go to the gym before Thanksgiving festivities start. (: I really love Thanksgiving. Later, there will be a post about all that I’m thankful for. Prepare yourself, it’s a long list. (: Have a great day everyone! Don’t break your good habits too badly.
Thinking about the past is so bittersweet. On one...
I love NSVs. They're so great. Sometimes, better...
Debate:
Should I continue weighing myself the 1st and 15th of the month oooor should I hop on the weigh in Wednesday bandwagon?
I wish everyone the best of luck tomorrow.
Stay strong, you can make it! Make sure you workout before you eat. (:

and wonder what’s going on around here….
Here is a few challenges that have been handed out.
Two hundred squats challenge
Two hundred sit-ups challenge
One hundred push up challenge
One hundred day burpee challenge
Plank challenge
Want to start running but not sure where to…
Reblogging for future reference. :)
Hm. I think I want to try all of these.
1.5ish miles in 24ish minutes.
I would’ve done better except that it was cold and it messed up my breathing really badly. Running without my iPod wasn’t too bad. Actually, I would say it was enjoyable to be honest.
Does anyone else have this breathing problem? I didn’t even break a sweat or feel the burn in my legs but breathing was terrible. I assume it’s from the cold. How do I fix this? Or do I just...
Alright. Got up and weighed myself this morning. 230. That means I have 10 pounds to go before December 1st AND I have Thanksgiving. (Which I did not take into account when I originally made this goal.) I think I can get close. I hope. I really want to make it, but that means I have to work HARD for it. Which sucks since I’m currently missing my iPod. Blah blah blah. Today I’m gonna...
reblog if you want an anon's honest opinion about...
I just noticed, I do a LOT better keeping up with my eating habits and exercise when I drink a lot of water. Like, I used to carry a water bottle around school and now I don’t. I guess I should start that back up.
Also, NSV
Wearing some jeans that haven’t fit me in months. Oh yeah. (: And a friend told me he could tell I lost weight. (:
Blah. Don’t feel good. I hate to skip working out two days in a row but I think I hate puking slightly more. Blugh blugh blugh.
So I changed my normal breakfast (one egg, one slice of Canadian bacon, half a bagel with peanut butter, cup of milk) and it was not a good idea. Slice the peanut butter bagel and add an egg. I was just too lazy to make the bagel and now I’m still hungry. I forgot I did the bagel for fillingness and energy. Blah. Whoops!
I completely forgot to work out today. It just, didn’t even cross my mind. In other news, I had a really awesome weekend. (:
So today: Woke up latish so I skipped breakfast and went to the gym instead. After the gym I had Chipotle burrito bowl and then started babysitting. Dinner will be Subway and I’m going to hang with a friend I haven’t seen in years. (: As Ben would say, do life.
So, I started this blog as a Tumblr strictly dedicated to health and fitness. But I feel like it would also be appropriate to talk about improving myself in other aspects of my life. I’m still working on cleaning out my room. I want to read, write, play guitar, draw, and paint more. I want to expand my interests outside of school, gym, and work. So tonight? Tonight I will draw. Maybe paint....
I still need to fit my run in for tonight. I will not, and cannot skip two days in a row.
Sidenote: Harry Potter was the bombdiggity.
I’ll report back after my (most likely craptastic) run.
EDIT: Yeah I was right. Run sucked. I say 70% me being tired, 30% my bad attitude. But I have a bad attitude because of my tiredness so 100% tiredness? Whatever. 16 minute mile, as apposed to my 12...
I crave to run tonight. Too bad I can’t. The Trans-Siberian Orchestra was phenomenal. Tomorrow night I’ll be BACK in DC. This whole going to DC thing is messing up my working out. Looks like tomorrow I’ll be doing a late work out. Blahhh. Goodnight everyone.
I definitely forgot, I’m going to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Bad food and no gym. Grrr. Ah well, I’m excited!
NSV!
Today I am wearing a tshirt and jeans. Now, you may ask, why is this a non scale victory? Well, I am one of those girls that tries to hide how big she is. I think I’m relatively successful, but one of my tactics is no tshirts and jeans. First of all, tshirts never fit me right. They’re always too tight or look like I’m swimming in them. Also, I really dislike pants. For several...
So as this is a blog about health and fitness, I’m working on mind AND body fitness. So I’m debating:
clean my room
OR
read a book.
Maybe both?
Also, sad face, I’m only allowed to ask two questions a day?! Whatttttt the heck. Lame.
It doesn't get any easier. It just gets better.
BMI
I was just curious to look and check out my starting and current BMI.
Here’s how BMI breaks down:
<18.5 is underweight
18.5-24.9 is healthy
25-29.9 is overweight
30> is obese.
My starting BMI is 40, my current BMI (using 237) is 37.2. My goal weight BMI (130) is 20.4, right in the middle of healthy. That confirms it. My ultimate goal weight is 130. Does anyone know how good of a...
I can’t wait until it gets warm so I can take this running business off the treadmill and on to the great outdoors. I feel that it will be much more interesting looking at new stuff every second than the same gym for your entire run. Although, it is good that I’m starting on the treadmill, I wouldn’t push myself much otherwise.
Upcoming goals and plans and whatnot.
Well first of all, I weighed myself today. Unofficially of course. I do this often just to see what’s going on even though my “official” weigh days are the 1st and 15th of the months. Well I gained weight. I’m back up to around 237. I WILL NOT GO BACK INTO THE 240S. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN. I know that this gain is a result of the horrid weekend I had but still. I hate to see...
I had a really…good run. I guess that’s a good way to describe it. I pushed myself really hard and made it through, but I think I’m going to have to repeat a day of week 4. It’s pretty hard on me. Not bad eating, I forgot that I lowered my calorie intake. :/
So to track calories I’ve been using myfitnesspal.com and it’s telling me to lower my calorie count. 1500 calories a day. I saw someone on here (I don’t remember who…sorry!) post that they made a calendar and color coded their days based on how many calories they ate per day so they had a visual representation on weigh day and they can figure out problem areas. I think...
Last unhealth related post for a while.
I mean it’s sort of health related. But anyway, I feel like crap. These past two days have been really hard mentally. I’ve eaten crap for two days and I skipped working out today because I was so exhausted. I’ve had an ongoing headache for two days. I feel awful, mostly because of my poor eating habits. Back on track tomorrow. And this blog will go back to being all health and...
Wow. I inspired someone. It’s a really great feeling when someone says that you inspired them to get it together and eat right and exercise everyday. It’s a really good feeling. And it makes me feel bad that I ate so horribly the past two days and that I skipped working out today. I need to do better.

Actually, I'm making weigh day today.
Over the next two days I have a viewing and a funeral to go to, and I won’t really be worried about weighing myself. So, here goes.
233.
Yeah, you read right.
Down another 9 pounds. (: Yesss.
Goal for my December 1st weigh in? 222.
Let’s do this!
Good celebratory run. And I finished week 3 of C25K. I don’t want to talk about the food I consumed though…haha. Weigh day coming up. With the visible changes, and my cheater self weighing in earlier, I don’t think it’ll be as bad as expected. (: I really wanted to go on a bike ride but no one will go with me. Lame. Have a good night.
Hooray for the first visible signs of weight loss! Very subtle, and no one else besides me would see a difference, but it still feels good. And in celebration, I’m gonna go ahead and go on a run…later lol.
