Struggle

The definition of struggle is to make forceful or violent efforts to get free of restraint or constriction. I chose struggle because I really struggle with getting getting and keeping weight off. Even though I have been eating well and working out two days a week for the past month, I still seemed to get a week of fast food that is bad for me and no exercise except walking. The efforts to get free of restraint from bad habits is very difficult. 

My vitamin regiment needs to be more consistent. As for my water intake, I am getting better but there can be more improvement. From the beginning, I wanted to keep bread out of my diet and that has obviously failed. I am going to try to minimize my bread intake and also make more wise choices. 

I had personal training today and we did arms. I am still benching 95lbs which I am very proud of. We also did kick backs with weights of 8lbs-25lbs which was very difficult to do the 30 reps of each set of dumbbells. I am researching some workouts to try at home for the days I am not going to personal training. 

My struggle is real and I am constantly in battle with it. I know some of you are struggling too. Let's struggle together. Follow me and see how my struggles can help you with yours. After all, this is My Weight and Your Gain!!!!!

Day 16

                           

Yesterday was Day 16. I Weighed myself and I have lost weight and inches so I am very excited. Compared to Day 1, I was 192.4 lbs and my measurements were: waist 45", hips 45", bust 44", arms 13", and thighs 24.5". Now today (as you can see above) I am down 3.5" in my waist, 2" in my hips, and .5" in my bust. However, I gained inches in my legs and arms, but I assume its because I am lifting during my personal training so I am gaining muscle. I am very happy with my 2 week results and I can't wait to see what the next 2 weeks will bring. 

Breakfast at work was an Herbalife shake. Then we were really busy at work and I had a late lunch but I went to the Kabob Grill and had a chicken kabob with rice and a salad. For Dinner I had gotten a pre-made chicken for $5 and put shredded pieces on a salad with avocado with a little of Italian dressing. I feel that my eating is doing well and I am seeing results I wanted. Maybe this is going to be easier than I thought. 

As for my exercise, I found time in the morning to go walking to the park with my family for 30 minutes before work. I also got to wear my new workout shirts I found at Ross. I didn't have any workout shirts and these shirts are also motivation for me! I am ready for the next 2 weeks. Bring on the hard workouts and meal prep because this mama is on a roll. Until tomorrow Ladies and Gentlemen.
