Butt Bustin' Babes

I've been doing much better, I have exercised almost every day. I have been eating great, and even better drinking a lot more water. I have lost 5 lbs. which is nice. I haven't been meditating as much as I should but I'm still working on it.

So I did better, stuck to everything. Drank my water, read my scriptures, all those things. I worked out as soon as I got home, ran a mile outside (my lungs are not use to running outside anymore haha. The burn), did shoulder and arms, stretched... then ate crap. So close to a perfect day haha. But the nationals won the second game of the world series!! whoo!! xoxo

Guys, this is getting ridiculous haha. I did whatever I wanted for day 52. I did go to work and read my scriptures, and a talk... but that's about it. But I have recommitted for real this time and I'm not going to falter. We have 38 days left and I have to be disciplined. So it's back to no candy, going to bed early, drinking all my water, hours of food prep, and working out for me. xoxo

Today was not as bad. I was able to eat pretty healthy. I did have a piece of candy, but that was it. I read my scriptures, prayed, and read a conference talk. I drank my water and exercised. I did food prep as well. So overall, day 50 was more successful. The weigh-in was not pleasant... I knew it wasn't going to be necessarily. I had eaten so much the night before, but I'm just going to work harder this week. Day 1-170.4 Day 8- 169 Day 15- 167.8 Day 22- 165.8 Day 29- 165.4 Day 37- 165.4 Day 43- 164.6 Day 50 - 166.6 Not happy with that, but it's okay! xoxo

Sorry, its been too long. But I haven't been doing to well on my goals, I have been working out not running though. I CAN'T stand running, but I am working on it. I have been meditating though. But I have been eating sooo bad, we always have ice cream here so its bad difficult.

I always mean to get on here and write, but it doesn't actually happen often. I have been having a hard time lately with my anxiety though I think it is under control now. It was getting so bad that I would have random spells everyday that would throw me into a more severe depression. I think we have figured out some things that are working for me. I have continued trying to wake up at the same time (Aaron is a very consistent alarm) and I am still trying to eat a 0 simple carb, high protein breakfast. The breakfast is actually the hardest because Aaron is up and really wants attention. I have also added an omega-3 to my prenatal vitamins(prenatals because I am still nursing. I am not pregnant). I am also trying to get as much sun as possible for vitamin D. All of that plus taking care of whatever is in my ability as far as what is giving me anxiety(cleaning something, making moving plans, etc). I have held firm on my no sugar, but I am really bad still at stretching and exercisin...

Definitely still not on track. But I did have a good day with Steven and we made some good food together. Monday starts the strict stuff again. I'm going to make my goals! xoxo

Alright, this has gone on too long. Still not hitting goals and not working hard. I just 2anna watch TV and sleep when I get home. I'm not getting in bed in time. That's part of it. But I'm gonna buckle down this week. Xoxo

STILL not doing well. I had a cheat meal and it made me very sick. So I was unsuccessful in getting to the gym or other things. I got to sleep extra during the day, but it's still not going well. I had candy too. Goodness. xoxo

Another fail. Xoxo

Half way. I'm gonna say, it's been hard the last couple weeks. If you've been reading these, you know that. I'm not sure how to get back on track. I'm really tired lately and not motivated to workout or eat good at the end of the day. I haven't cleaned out my kitchen, food prepped, or worked out in 3 days. I've had candy and sugar every day and haven't been having breakfast. Any suggestions? xoxo

So I didn't really succeed today either. I did well at work and then got home and lost it. I had a pazookie and eggs for dinner, didn't workout, didn't food prep, didn't clean, and didn't get to bed on time. When I got home, Steven wanted to hang out. I sat with him and watched TV while he did homework. Then Nationals baseball game came on... and I had to watch. That was the game we qualified for the work series! This is the first time it's happened for the Nationals ever in their history. So this is important! But I'm sad that I didn't try harder. xoxo

Again, not a great day. I keep losing my determination when I get home. I just wanna sleep, eat, or hang out. I'm just not as committed. So tonight, I'm recommitting. Right now. Committing to my goals so I can get closer to what I want at the end of my 90 days. It's not over then, it's just a bench mark. So.... this is what I want for physical goals that I'm gonna focus on right now. -Workout 5 days a week-plan workouts ahead of time -May only have 1 cheat meal and 1 cheat treat a week if needed -Maintain caloric deficit -Eat whole foods and continue healthy macros -Drink 100oz of water daily -Stretch daily -Plank 5 minutes at 90 days (at 2:15) -Get 7 hours of sleep at night I'm going to focus on these for the next month. So weight check Day 1-170.4 Day 8- 169 Day 15- 167.8 Day 22- 165.8 Day 29- 165.4 Day 37- 165.4 Day 43- 164.6 So I've lost 5.8 lbs. Progress, but not as much as I'd like. I know I can do more. And I will get better....

We mostly slept in today and cleaned. I food prepped and that's about it. I'm really frustrated with myself. I'm gonna get back on track. Xoxo

Really not a successful day. I've been struggling to get back on track for awhile. I'm hoping I can plan accordingly today and get back in a good space. I did work out, but didn't finish since we have to drive a couple hours to meet friends at a pumpkin patch. I only had a tuna sandwich for lunch and didn't have dinner or breakfast. I haven't been hungry. But I definitely ate some Halloween candy. Xoxo

I can't believe it's been 40 days already. Time I'd going so fast and it makes me a little bit sad/anxious. Sad because I'm enjoying be so committed to things I want to do, and anxious because my progress and resolve aren't as good as day 1. But I'm working on it! Xoxo

I had a pretty successful day for the most part. I didn't work out because I got home from work too late and I don't like going by myself that late. Steven decided to try his hand at Japanese curry, and I didn't want to pull him away from his stuff. So I laid down on the cough and watched Bones :) It was a nice change of pace, but I didn't really get ready for the next day. I'm hoping for some good workouts this weekend though! xoxo

Today was pretty good. I'm starting to feel a little bit better. Still have the blisters and my face is still crazy haha. I got up at 530, did my hair and makeup, got everything together, and went to work. Then I went shopping and went home. I warmed up, did legs, and then abs. About an hour workout. I did food prep. I listened to a talk this morning and read my scriptures on lunch break. I ate like... 7 mini chocolate chip cookies, and banana bread when I got home. I'm gonna get ahold of this. Xoxo

Alright, today was a tiny bit bbetter. I don't really have enough time in the day all the time for what I want to accomplish. But I sure give it a try. I prayed, read my scriptures, meditated, ate my food, meal prepped for tomorrow, worked out (and pulled my hamstring in the process. STRETCH ladies), had over 100oz of water, cleaned, and worked an extra half hour today. I also got my 7 hours of sleep. I'm still sick though, it won't go away! The back of my throat is covered in blisters and my face broke out in that itchy rash again. Not sure what is going on, but I'm just gonna ignore it all. I ate sugar, but I'm hoping to be sugar free tomorrow. This weight check has been one I'm dreading. I haven't been as consistent, and it showed. Day 1-170.4 Day 8- 169 Day 15- 167.8 Day 22- 165.8 Day 29- 165.4 Day 37- 165.4. YEP. So I stayed the same. Could have been worse, I could've gained. But I'm not giving up! Ready for tomorrow! Xoxo

Sorry I've not posted in a little while.  I've completely put my goal tracking on hold except for the food thing.  My weight last week was 174.8 and on Monday it was 172.6.  So about two pounds and I've felt so much better, really haven't had to run to the bathroom and I've had a bit more energy.  Though I did get a cold/sore throat about three days in.  I'm was told it was likely to happen because when you lose weight you are also releasing the toxins that were stored in your cells.  So all good things but I just watched conference, amazing by the way!  From that I've felt prompted to shift my focus to the more important spiritual health.  I still want to eat well and so does Mom, so that should help keep good food coming but I'm simplifying it for me and I'll come back and laser focus it later.  I have a couple spiritual things that I need to get in order and they need to actually be most important right now.  Actually the diet plan I'...

Both Steven and I woke up at 6:30am, which is a problem because we both work at 7:00am. So I jumped up, threw my hair up (AHHHHH!!! Yes, it looks that bad), but some scrubs on, grabbed my food out of the fridge (this is why we meal prep the night before people), and ran. So, other than having a bad start to a Monday, why is this a problem?? I missed my weigh-in... so I'm gonna do it tomorrow. But Steven had to shower and I CAN NOT be late. I did get a little work out in after, I food prepped, drank my water + more, ate all my healthy food, and stayed late at work. I'm exhausted. But I did eat a bunch of banana bread when I got home. Better than the weekend, but not good enough.  Tomorrow I will weigh-in, but I'm not looking forward to see the weight gain from this week. It's part of the process I guess. I'm gonna be better tomorrow! Xoxo

I did it again. Gosh, I'm sick and on my period (not to make excuses) and it is GETTING me. I food prepped EVERYTHING for Monday and I made my menu and workout schedule for the week. I'm really gonna work for a better week for motivation and follow through. Also... tomorrow is weigh-in and I'm pretty confident I gained this week. From lack of movement and 3ating too much crap. So, back at it this week. But better! Xoxo

Guys, I'm failing. I did really well today. Ate well, worked out for the first time in a few days. I drank my water, cleaned, listened to conference, cleaned the house, went grocery shopping, did my hair, did my makeup.... and then I made another pazookie and ate it all. I'm so mad at myself! I'm really getting tired of it. So, tonight, I'm committing now to sticking with my rules and being consistent so I can keep progressing. Still working hard, just trying to be better. Xoxo

To be honest, this wasn't a good day for me. Hasn't been the best week. I'm sure I've gained weight. I haven't been as dedicated, partially because I'm sick and that's always hard. And partially because I haven't had a good plan or good resolve. I'm working on it. I don't have a lot of time left to reach some of these goals. Anyways, I didn't work out because I'm sick. And I made a homemade pizookie. And ate every bite last night. But I'm buckling down. I didn't read my scriptures, I ate lots of dark chocolate truffles at work, and I had at grilled cheese and tomato soup with cream for dinner last night, which was not on the menu. Today I'm gonna try and get a handle on that stuff. Don't give up! You can always recommit. No one said this had this be perfect. Xoxo

I stayed home from work today and will be going in on my day off. I've missed almost a whole week and that REALLY stresses me out. I ate pretty good and had my water. Mostly slept. Xoxo

Still sick, still trying not to working out. I ate pretty good and got all my water. Read my scriptures and listened to a talk. I mostly slept after work. I'm hoping to be better soon so I can make up hours and get back in the gym. I've been listening to podcasts a lot. They are really inspiring. I think today I'll write down some life goals. Keep going ladies! Xoxo

Unfortunately, I am still sick! I have missed a day and a half of work and that stresses me out a lot for sure. I did get in a small workout, some core work and back and chest weights. I got Steven to the gym too! We are trying to do this together, but we are so busy. Especially him working full time and doing online classes. But I did read my scriptures and eat fairly well... until the evening when I had some ice cream. It feels so good on my throat, but it's bad for me. So today was measurement day. Every 30 days. I'm really only going to put stock in the big measurements, as I'm not sure I measured accurately. Day 1 measurements: Neck- 14.25” Bust- 41” L Arm- 11.50’’ R Arm- 11.25’’ Waist- 32’’ Hips- 41’’ Butt- 44’’ L Thigh- 24.50’’ R Thigh- 24.50’’ L Calf- 14.50’’ R Calf- 15’’ Day 30 Neck- 14" Bust- 41" L arm- 11.25" R arm- 11" Waist- 31.75" Hips- 39" Butt- 43" L thigh- 23.75" R thigh- 23.5" L c...
