30 Day Shred..Round2 Day1

I decided to start the 30 day shred over...I figured I had great results last time I might as well give it another go! But i am taking Sundays off this round to give myself a day of rest per week.

I have to say starting this time was easier than last time.. but still not Easy. I still have to modify a few moves but for the most part I feel like I did great.  Best of all I felt great after.. and I plan on rocking the next 30 days of this!  Let's do it!

RoadTrip

Family road trip..yay! with a toddler.oh.. Lol I know I know i'm in for it. We made this same drive last year for thanksgiving and i'm glad we did since this time unfortunately, we are going down to San Diego, Ca for My fiance's grandfathers funeral. I'm hoping to still stick to eating well or at least small portions.. and maybe we will take jaycen to the zoo.. that will give me some walking and a good time for him.  I'm also thinking of bringing my weights since I will be the passenger so might as well do some curls lol I really don't want to gain over this trip so I hope I can stick to it! 

Water Enhancers

Unless it's a really hot day...I don't really like water all that much. But drinking water is a big part of keeping your body healthy. Which is the ultimate goal in losing weight I would think. 

In order to get my water for the day without having to force myself to chug glasses of water I have been using water enhancers! Oh my gosh they are good. And also really convenient...

All you do is squirt some into your water shake.. and taste. Add more if needed.
Plus it looks cool don't ya think? 

Right now this flavor is my favorite.. its it Albertsons brand "Essential everyday"
Energy Cherry Limeade... Yum! 

ZUMBA!!

A friend invited me to go with her to a zumba class last night and I must say.. It is a blast!! The class was 60 minuets long and I really didn't know what to expect but by the end of it i felt great! Definitely tired, sweaty, heart pumping great! I loved it and I also liked that there was a variety of people there.. not just thin fit chicks (there were some of those of course) but also medium fitness level and also some others with a lower fitness level.. I definitely felt welcome and the instructors were great! I'm definitely thinking i have to go back and take another one soon.

Face difference

Sometimes the pictures say it all! 

I don't have the money or time for a gym membership.

I've heard this one a lot! Right now..I personally do not have a gym membership and I also haven't been in one at any point since I've started my journey. 

For me.. it's not because we can't afford one. I do have the time.. and I could give a rats ass what the skinny bitches are thinking when my chunky butt gets on the machine next to them.. I'm working on it bitch! lol 

The reason I haven't bothered to get one is.. I'm not working out enough for me to justify spending the money. well let me rephrase.. I'm not working out LONG enough.. i am working out often enough for one. I feel like once i am in a place where i can workout for 1-2 hours at a time then i will get a membership just so i can use the equipment and take the classes! 

Until then I'm using the good ol Internet.. You're looking at my blog on it right now.. so when your done reading go check out where you can get FREE workouts to do at home with no equipment.

Here are only a few examples of places to get free workouts videos to do at home..

Youtube.com 

Yes! YouTube! I found the 30Day shred on there

along with about a million others! Some are not the best but who cares? stop that one and start another!

Pinterest.com

Yup.. there too. either checking the "health and fitness" tab or just searching for workouts. There are TONS.. free! :)

FitSugar.com 

Great website with lots of workouts to choose from!

bodyrock.tv

Great workouts! 

Also if you come across a workout that you need hand weights for... if you don't have them just use full water bottles or soup cans! it will add a few lbs at least. you do not have to have money to be fit!

Getting back on track

Years of bad habits don't just go away. You're going to have bad days.. or in my case bad weeks. After getting my tattoo i sat around for 4 days with no exercise and then only did a few occasional short ones for the next few days.. I found myself craving fast food.. and giving in!! I even argued with myself in my head the other night over driving to taco bell at 8:30 at night. Guess what this fat chick did? I went and got it!  The next day I felt shitty about myself.  I have only gained 2lbs since my last weigh in but even so i still didn't feel that happy glow I had when i was losing instead of gaining...So today I woke up with the attitude of getting back on track! Even though I still shouldn't wear shoes I did a full low impact workout like I was doing before. Now I feel great about myself.. I'm telling myself yes you slipped up.. ok move on!  Everyday is a new beginning.  Back on track! :)
