Accio Abs!

Good morning!!! Happy Friday 😃! I am demonstrating my proof of being magical (cause I'm a wizard 😋). Hogwarts Acceptance Letter and Master of Wizardry Degree  See?!?! I graduated from Hogwarts 💝 Master wizard right here 😏  (Sorry about the glare)   Anyways, today I bring you three progress photos. The first one is really bad....it's terrible...feel free to make fun of it. I really do not know how you could not 😆. I can't believe I'm sharing it, but hey, that's what this blog is for. Just prepare yourselves 😂. Weight measurements between progress photos 2 and 3: Feb 19, 2017: 157.5 lbs Progress Photo 3 Progress Photo 3 taken March 8, 2017 weighing it at 156.5 lbs. I remember taking this photo. I do not know why I didn't retake it 😂. I had just woken up to use the bathroom, and when I looked in the mirror, it was the first time I had seen progress in myself. Yes, the number on the scale was going down, but I hadn't noticed a ch...

Good morning all you wizards, witches, and muggles out there! I am totally a wizard. I have documentation to prove it 😏 I hope everyone is doing magically :) Okay, I'll calm down with all of the Harry Potter stuff....well I'll try to! 😋  My next progress photo was not taken until February 11, 2017. I am not entirely sure why that is the case, but I would assume because I wanted to wait until I lost a certain amount of weight, kept forgetting to take one, or just was not happy with how slow it was gong in the beginning. It was probably a combination of all three. I was still weighing myself consistently for the most part. I want to include those measurements in my posts because it wasn't all consistently me losing weight each week or at each measurement. There were bad weeks where it would go up as well as good weeks where it would still go up or stay the same. Without further ado, I present to you the time in between progress photo 1 and progress photo 2: Dec 10,...

Hello again dear readers!  Progress Photo 1 My first progress photo on December 4, 2016. As you can see, I am not happy at all (I mean probably not just cause of my weight although that is the main reason, but I was not happy with my hair either 😆 lol good times). This also is not my starting weight. I did not want to take a progress photo immediately because I was ashamed and embarrassed, which I regret. I should have taken it at my starting weight and not after I lost 4lbs. Everyone starts somewhere! Embrace where you're starting. Let it motivate you. Allow it to give you reason to push yourself. I started slow with my exercise routine and began with using myfitnesspal, which I've always used to track my calories when I begin trying to lose weight. I love the app! It has helped me so much. You enter your information, goals, and activity level. It then provides you with a calorie goal. You log your meals and exercises daily. I try to overestimate my food and ...

Hello and welcome to my blog! I wanted to give you a short introduction of myself and what I am hoping for with this blog. My name is Arianna, but most know me as Ari. I am 25 years old. If you haven't guessed it from my blog and domain titles as well as the title of this post, I absolutely love Harry Potter! I also love video games, reading, anime, and so much more! Life offers a lot to love, wouldn't you say?! :) I am starting this blog to talk about/share my weight loss journey and the trek towards obtaining those abs! Sadly, Accio does not work on its own. I'll start at the beginning and will try to be as detailed as possible, but we'll see how my recounting of it goes! When we catch up to where I'm at now, I want to talk about the struggles that still exist and how there are still goals I've yet to reach. I am also hoping to get feedback from any readers (if I have any) on what they would like me to talk about and if they have tips and advice they'd l...
