Accio Abs!

Good morning everyone! I hope you've had a great week and weekend! I sure did! On Monday, I started a new program. It's called 8 Weeks to a Bikini-Ready Body by Tawna Eubanks. You can find it online on the Kaged Muscle Website. I'm not following it exactly, but pretty close just based on my own preferences,so we will see how it goes. In weeks one and five you start new training programs. With those weeks you're really learning the moves and figuring out weights to use. The next weeks your supposed to work on increasing it and going heavy. There are daily videos you watch. In addition, meal plan examples and a list of supplements to use are provided. Here is week one: Monday: Day 1-Glutes and Delts Barbell Hip Thrusts: 4 sets- reps of 10, 5, 20 ,20 (I did 50 lb curl bar) Dumbbell Walking Lunge : 4 sets- reps of 10 steps/leg (15 lb dumbbells) Back Extension (focus on glutes): 2 sets-reps of 30 (no additional weight) Gluteator (well abduction machine) : 4 sets- r...

Good evening everyone! I got my Harry Potter Blender Bottle!!! Yayyy!! I'm so happy! Anyways, thanks for sticking it out for recounting my journey made possible with those time turners. Yes, I somehow managed to snag one that was not completely destroyed 😂. I hope it wasn't a complete bore to you. I also hope it has helped you in some way, whether it's been learning what not to do, something that might work for you, or even inspiring you a tad. My journey's not over, and I still have some goals in mind. I hope you stick with me through new ups, downs, and challenges I face! My Harry Potter Blender Bottle! Beginning last week (8/6/18 when I got home from my friends wedding), I changed my diet plan to focus on my macros. I had never paid much attention to them even though I know focusing on them really enhances progress you want to make. Macros are macronutrients consisting of the three nutrients we eat most and provide the most energy which are carbohydrates, ...

Good morning!!! 😁 I just learned about the Harry Potter Blender Bottles. I need one in my life 😍 I am definitely going to buy one. It is a must have for me. The trouble is deciding which one 😖! Probably the Gryffindor one! Fitness plus Harry Potter equals awesome!  Harry Potter Blender Bottles (Image by BlenderBottle) Aren't they beautiful 😍😍😍 Thanks for informing about this FabFitFun (subscription box)! I really need to get one. Then, I'll take that and wear my Harry Potter fitness attire to the gym 😏😀! A girl can never have too much Harry Potter merchandise...well at least this girl 😂. Okay, back to progress photos. In the last post, I reached my goal! Yayyy! With reaching that, came a new set of challenges.  Time between progress photo 11 & 12: Apr 29, 2018: 126.6 lbs May 15, 2018: 128 lbs May 27, 2018: 125 lbs Progress Photo 12 Progress photo 12 taken on June 21, 2018 weighing in at 124.6 lbs. One of the first things that hap...

Good morning! I know I'm getting this post out soon after the last one, but we are almost caught up to present time!! That got me excited and straight to writing this pretty quickly. Although, I'm much slower than those seekers, but in this post, I finally reach the golden snitch! Time in between progress photo 9 and 10: Jan 24, 2018: 138.5 lbs Feb 5, 2018: 139.1 lbs Feb 7, 2018: 137.2 lbs Feb 16, 2018: 135 lbs Progress Photo 10 Progress Photo 10 taken February 16, 2018 weighing in at 135 lbs! Second goal reached! Yay! I was so happy to reach this goal! Now, I wasn't lying on my driver's license! Yayyy! 😂😂😂 It felt like a really big accomplishment! Now that I think about it, 135 lbs was probably one of my goal weights because I really did want to weigh what I put on my driver's license 😂. Mission accomplished 😎😏. As I was getting closer to my ultimate goal, I definitely weighed myself more consistently. Around February, I started goin...

Good morning everyone! I hope you all had a great week and weekend! Mine was awesome! Spent a couple nights in Las Vegas and saw the Backstreet Boys 😍😍😍! Then, made it up to Lake Tahoe for my friend's wedding. It was beautiful 😍! Shall we get to the progress photos? Time in between progress photo 6 and 7: Oct 14, 2017: 147.1 lbs Progress Photo 7 Progress Photo 7 taken October 17, 2017 weighing in at 146.1 lbs. During this time until around December I was losing weight slowly, but it was not going back up so that made me happy! That is totally a Harry Potter phone case 😁! The Marauders Map! I look like mischief was managed in that photo 😂 (I also look incredibly tired, but let's ignore that 😂)! Time in between progress photo 7 and 8: Nov 15, 2017: 145.5 lbs Progress Photo 8 Progress photo 8 taken November 17, 2017 weighing in at 145 lbs! First goal weight reached! Yayyy!

Greetings :) I hope you all had a magnificent weekend! Happy Hump day! This will be my only post this week. I'm going to be out of town! There is a big time gap in between progress photo 5 and progress photo 6. As you will see in the measurements I recorded, I had a rough summer in terms of weight loss. Here they are: Jun 8, 2017: 151.2 lbs Jun 15, 2017: 149.5 lbs Jul 17, 2017: 154 lbs Jul 21, 2017: 151.6 lbs Aug, 18, 2017: 155.5 lbs Sep 14, 2017: 152 lbs Sep 24, 2017: 150 lbs Progress Photo 6 I have no idea why I am headless in this photo. I do believe I was getting ready and then realized I still needed to take a progress photo. Why I felt like I should crop off my head is beyond me. Maybe with this I can join Nearly Headless Nick on his petition to join the Headless Hunt. Anyways, progress photo 6 taken September 26, 2017 weighing in at 148.8 lbs. Remember when I told you I don't do well when I hit a plateau?.....I did not do well. For three months...
