Remembrall Needed, Mine's Busted!

-
Good evening everyone! I hope you are enjoying the holiday weekend! Sorry for the delay in this post and also for a lack of measurement updates 😞. I forgot to take some this morning before I ate and worked out. I definitely will next week for sure! I started a new job this past week and things have definitely been slipping my mind. I need a Remembrall or at least one that works. Maybe Neville will lend me his? I could definitely use it! 

Moving on, I did not do the Bikini Body Program this week. I just felt like it would have been wasted. My trainer also told me we could do whatever I want (even though he also suggested giving it another week). I sat down with him and showed him my ideas for a workout schedule and he gave his suggestions and this is what my routine looked like this week:

Monday: Legs and 30 minutes of cardio
Cardio-Arctrainer
Hack Squat-Wide
Leg Extensions
Seated Leg Curls
Abductors
Hack Squat-Narrow
Abs

Tuesday: Calves/Glutes and 45 minutes of cardio
Cardio-Stairclimber
Standing Calf Raises-straight, out, in
Side Leg Raises
Donkey Kick (I don't know if that's what they're called lol)

Wednesday: Chest/Back and 30 minutes of cardio
Cardio-Elliptical
Incline Chest Press
Pull-Up Assist Machine: Chin-Up, Dip, Neutral Grip
Abs

Thursday: Arms/Shoulders and 45 minutes of cardio
Cardio-Stairclimber
Shoulder Press
Bicep Curls
Front Raises
Lateral Raises
Tricep Extensions

Friday: Rest

Saturday: 30 minutes stairclimber and Cardio Kickboxing

Sunday: Da Vinci Body Board

Da Vinci Body Board is "a patented, baltic birch platform with anchored resistance bands."  It is super fun! I did cardio before kickboxing because I ate so bad Friday night. Fridays will be Powerlifting days, but this past Friday I went to Zozobra! I also got my blood drawn Saturday morning and it was cool. I forgot to write down the weights used and number of reps 😞. I'm telling you, I really need that Remembrall. I feel like I'm just forgetting so many things lately. Even though I changed my workout routine, I kept the Macros the same as they were for the program and changes my calories to 1340. Although, I have been doing really bad lately with meeting my calories and macros. I think a part of it is, I've let myself slack a bit. Even though I'm sure my numbers wouldn't have been great, it's been nice to give myself more leeway. However, I'm going to get back on track. Accio Abs right? I really want to reach a certain body fat percentage (among other things), and I have to earn it. No more slacking starting this week. I have work to do. I also don't want to start myself on a pattern like all the times I've tried to lose weight before. I don't want to gain it back. I mean I won't stress about treat meals here and there, but I've just been having a little too many. On the plus side, I haven't had McDonald's in over a month! That's such an improvement for me! Before January, it was 3 to 4 times a week. Since my New Year's Resolution it's been once maybe twice a week tops. Guess New Year's Resolutions do work sometimes! 

"If I quit now, I will soon be back to where I started. And when I started, I was desperately wishing to be where I am now." -unknown

Enjoy the holiday everybody!

Much Love,

Nearly Headless Hunt: Progress Photo 6

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...

Marathon Training Week 25: Taper Phase and Race Day!!! I did it! :)

Good evening you magical humans! I meant to post yesterday, but I was exhausted. Sorry for being a little delayed! Last week when I got my bib number, I felt a little sick. I was just so nervous for the marathon. The distance is so daunting. I felt was so nervous, excited, and terrified. Our minds can be our greatest friends or biggest enemies. I started to doubt whether or not I could actually run it. I knew I could ruin my run before it even started so I took a step back and deep breath and let it all go. Let go of all of my doubts and worries. Let go of worrying about time (well tried to). Signing up for this and even doing it whether it takes me over 4 hours, whether I walk or not, just participating is a huge milestone and accomplishment in itself. It is something to be proud of. I held onto that all week. My co-workers got me a card and made me this to wear on race day out of shrinkable paper! I was so touched! My twin sister bought me this key chain. I ran with them b...
