April Weigh In

Well it has been a pretty good month.  I decided that since I have lost inches that i was not going to do any diet pills.  It has been a very stressful month too.  I officially became a single parent and separated from my husband.  This week alone has been even more stressful since It really hit me this week.  I felt for the first time that I did not have any control over anything in my life.  But I put all of focus into my work outs since that is something that I know that I can control.  I love going to my gym.  I have been going to Elite Fitness on Mansfield road for 6 months now and I love every minute of it. Since going to Elite in October I have lost 47.5 inches and 34 lbs.  2.9% Body Fat, and my BMI has gone down 5.28 points!!!!!

In a Rut

Well I have been still having problems losing weight and it is really killing me.  Earlier this month I tried something different and I literally dropped 10 lbs.  But I have yet to lose any more.  What is up with that???  I work out every day Mon-Fri and even started on the floor working out on the machines.  I just can't get it.  I know that I am probably building muscle but come on???  This really sucks.  I know that one of my problems is that I don't eat right.  I have been having these horrible cravings for sweets and breads.  But I work out enough to burn majoritiy of it so what gives???


I started thinking about doing something that I feel as those I am going against what I believe in but I have to do something .  I started doing alot of research on weight loss pills.  I know how can I go against what I believe.  Well I have alot of reasons.  The main one is the fact that I am going through a divorce and the stress from that is not helping at all and I need that little extra boost to help me get by.  Now I know that not everyone gets the same results but I have got to do something to help me get passed all of this.  I am very skeptical of them working and I am researching everything that I can before I make a decision.  So please everyone don't look down on me cause I am doing this.  I am beating myself up enough as it is.  I just need my support system behind me right now.


Love ya'll.

Trying new things

OK so I decided to try and step up my weight loss.  I am always ready to try new things to help me lose weight.  As I have said before I do not believe in pills or gimmicks for losing weight.  I believe that I did this all to myself and now I have to fix it.

Well I go to a really great gym.  What I like about it is that there is always someone there to help you, they are always more than willing to show you how to use the machines properly so that you do not hurt your self.  They offer personal trainers (at a cost of course) but as I watch them with their trainees I actually see what I can do to change my life as well.  What I love even more is the trainers are all SUPER DUPER  CRAZILY NICE AND ALWAYS ENCOURAGING.

Here are some of new machines that I am working on. 

ARMS

Tricep Extensions

 

Bicep Curls

ABS

Abdominal Crunch
