3 day cleanse results

If you have been following my weight loss journey. The past 4 months have been super rough. I only lost 4 pounds. It has been so frustrating. This month I started Shakeology and last week I did a 3 day cleanse and I lost 3 pounds. I was super lazy and didn't even exercise. 3 pounds is big for me!!!

I have 5 pounds to loose to be before baby weight. So exiting!

week 24: weight loss journey

Week 21: Only 1 hour walking
Week 22: 20 minutes running
Week 23: 1 hour running. I thought it would be hard but even thought I was slow it was not hard. I guess I am really getting fit.
Week 24: 1 hour kickboxing and then I got sick. After tending to sick kids for 3 weeks and being stuck in the house pretty much, I got sick. GRRRR
My working out this month has been no good. I really need to get back on working out more. I think I have gained a few pounds and my body doesn't feel as fit. My diet has been no bueno either. I need to eat more healthy.
I started to fit some clothes I haven't fit for years, on a good note while some are still too small. I think my clothes are way too old too. I still feel like I can't buy anything new because I still have those few pounds to loose. The other day I went to the store to look for flannel shirts because I like them a lot and I am wearing my husband's...Super big on me. None would fit at the chest. It was kind of frustrating. I am still on the hiding mode and reach for cardigans and sweaters. A lot is in my head too. 

Now I want to talk about the week during the month when you have your period. AWFUL. Trying to workout during that week is awful. The cramps are awful. The soreness worse. That week completely is a struggle and a failure. I am bloated and all I want to eat is junk food. My friend said that yoga is actually a good workout for that week. I'll try for sure.

Next month: Lots of greens, more workouts. Positive thinking
How was your month?

Week 20: Weight loss journey

Week 17: I did super good with 2 hours of boxing and 2 hours of kickboxing.
Week 18: I was so sore last week that I only did 2 hours of boxing.
Week 19: I was helping for a church activity and I had to cook a lot of treats and I was super busy, no work out and I ate way too many desserts. Not good.
Week 20: No working out and I really thought I would have gained a lot of weight after last week but no I haven't. I am pretty happy.

Weight loss tip: focus on the positive

I have been thinking about body image a lot since I started loosing weight. I really think we are our worst critics and seriously it doesn't help with our weight loss and getting back in shape. Look at this droopy butt, those love handles are hideous... Your stomach is a lost cause and too damaged etc...

 If you are telling yourself these kind of things. STOP

You need to focus on the positive as your body changes. Your body is made to change, to renew itself and adapt. Focus on what qualities it has. For me the first parts of my body I started focusing were my legs. They were the first to get muscles and become pretty. I would look at them and think...WOW You are really looking good!!

I want you to look at your body and each time a nasty thought comes through. Think about the parts you like and compliment it: Eyes, hair? Smile...And I want you to accentuate it. Wear eye makeup or lipstick. Do your hair...

I right away got running shorts and sunless tanner for my legs. It made me happy, proud and motivated me for more areas of my body to get pretty. 

Do not listen to the know it all friends or family...You can't loose weight like that. Girls with muscles are ugly etc...

There is so many negative people out there. Don't do it for their approval, do it for yourself. Listen to the positive people who want you to succeed and maybe have done it before or do it for a living.

 Instagram has great inspiration and motivation quotes. You can see real athletes' pictures and be inspired to see your body change like theirs did.

weight loss progress week 8

The scale can't lie. I weighed myself yesterday morning and I am now at a 13. 4 pounds loss. I am 5.3 at 134.6 pounds.

I exercised 4 to 5 hours a week theses past 4 weeks. The first 2 weeks I didn't go boxing because my baby was sick and husband was out of town. Then I just took some time to walk.
This week I went boxing for 2 hours. Run for 1 hour and did my first leg day with 20 pounds weights. This is new with my routine as I was only walking. I am obviously getting stronger. I want to start doing more weights and build more muscles.
I have been eating between 1200 to 1400 calories per day. Clean eating = Healthy
This time I lost less than the first 4 weeks but I am still happy about the results.
I can tell my body has changed a lot and my muscles are starting to show up. 
I was at the store yesterday and can now fit in Small size clothes. I used to be a Large. My feet are also smaller in my shoes.
I am liking my new fit life and get ornery on the days I can't go walk. I think I just changed my life and habits.

I have few more pounds to loose but not that much. I have 4 more weeks to go until I stabilize my calories intake but the working out will stay because I do not want to be skinny. I want to be FIT.

How is your fitness going? Do you go to the gym or stay home? run, walk? Let me know. I can learn from you.
