I weighed in today and did my measurements again as I am starting the 21 Day Fix program again. Honestly, I have not completed the complete program yet, but hope to soon. I was looking back over this blog and it is sad for me to say that I am was about a month or so ago back at 150 pounds. I am currently at 147.4 pounds.
Here are my stats:
147.4 lbs
36.0 body fat %
4.8 bone density
46.7 water %
26.1 BMI
Measurements:
R Thigh: 22"
L Thigh : 22"
R Arm: 10.25"
L Arm: 10.15"
Chest: 32.5"
Waist: 29" (not sure if this is accurate or not. I have a hard time measuring this part myself)
Naval (belly button): 37.5" to 38" (I did it a couple of times and got both numbers so not sure which is more accurate but thought it was best to record them both)
Hips: 44" to 44.5" (same thing with the hips as with the naval ha ha)
total inches: 208 inches/ 208" ( I did the maximum for both naval and hips)
I remember the last time I was 150 and I told myself when I got down to the weight I wanted that I would not go back up and yet here I am again. I know the choices I have made have made me gain the weight again. I am not happy with myself, but I want to try again. This time I am going to do the 21 day fix nutrition/portions and I would like to do cardio as well and see how that goes. I am not interested in doing the workouts with the 21 day fix at this time. I would like to get down to under 140 pounds if I can and then go from there.
I know where I went wrong. In the past, when I would eat badly for a meal or for a day I would not get back on the healthy wagon I would think to myself that I screwed up and it couldn't be fixed. But I have since learned that is not the case. I have learned that if you have a meal that you eat horribly or you happen to eat bad for a whole day that tomorrow is a new day and that you can start all over again. You don't have to let that one or two or three bad decisions ruin or take over your life. You just need to make better choices the next meal you have. I have learned from many people on the 21 day fix that everyone has bad days and everyone cheats but it is getting back on that healthy track and making your next meal a better, healthier choice that makes all the difference. We are human and we all make mistakes. We are not going to lose 20 pounds over night. Or even ten pounds for that matter. It took us years to gain the weight and it will take time to lose it again. But we have to believe in ourselves. I have to believe in myself. I have to believe that I will get down to a healthier weight and that the next time I eat badly I will make the next meal a healthier one.
People always talk about their "WHY" The reason that want to lose weight. The reason that they do not want to go back to being that chubby girl. I always have a hard time with this mostly because I was never fat or heavy as a kid. I did not gain this weight until I was in my late 30s and early 40s so it was after I had my kid for many years, so I can't blame it on that right? lol
But, I have a hard time. For me, I see my legs are fatter than they have ever been when sitting down with shorts on or just looking at them in the mirror or something like that. I just look at my stretch marks or I will see myself in the mirror and notice the love handles that were not there 5 years ago and just want to cringe at the sight of them. But if I don't stop and take a moment to see how I look and tell myself that I don't want to me this way anymore then how will ever get there without telling myself that I don't want to look like this anymore you know.
Also, I have some pain and strain and discomfort in my right leg and not sure where that is coming from. So, I think or hope with more exercise and eating better that I hope that will go away.
And lastly, I have joined a Squats Challenge hosted by my beach body coach, Lorie Landry. It started on August 1, 2015 and we started with 50 squats on that day and then it goes up by 5 each day but today is a rest day. So, I think every 4 days there is a rest day so that is good.
Also, I want to get back into doing some type of cardio. I am afraid that if I do the 21 days fix workouts and the nutrition that I will gain muscle and not get down to the weight that I want to be at.
I am hoping that in one week which will be Tuesday August 11, 2015 that I will be (Dwayne's birthday) that I will either be down to 146.4 lbs or less. I will be getting my
period either on Friday August 7th of this week or around there so I will be bloated, but I hope that when the period/pms is gone and the bloatedness is gone as well that I will be down to 146lbs or even less is what I am hoping for.
Also, I plan to do the 3 day refresh (beachbody product) associated with the 21 day fix or with shakeology. I need to do it on a day that or on three days that I am not at work and will be able to focus on the shakes and such. So, that will be interesting.
But my goal for now is to get back into posting on this blog on either a weekly or daily or in between those two...I just want to get back into it again.
Wish me luck!
