Body Comp test

Bio Impedance test done yesterday in P.e.

i am 36% body fat, 11 of which is excess. goal weight is...no effing surprise...181, the same goal ive had forever :]

this class is cool. kickboxing and aerobics. its amazing.

its only one term but things could get real fun!

more later. i have things to do :]

week one is over.

week one of kickboxing step aerobics is over. and it hurt quite a bit. it feels good though, to get up earlier than i normally do, and go exercise. it feels wonderful. i feel powerful. and i notice that when im in class and i get tired, i dont stop. i keep moving. i think that is such a huge problem is that when i do it alone, i stop when i get tired or exhausted. this is 30 minutes, not bad at all. do i know if ive lost weight? i think i have but i dont know. i do not have a scale but will find out next week. about a wee ago i was 214.

my instructor, Sandy, says that she isnt a fan of trying to lose weight, so much as she tries to lose inches. and i am on board with her. i want to lose inches. i should no longer be looking at a # in lbs, rather a # in pants size and shirt size because in all honesty i would have no issues with 214 lbs if i were a size 10 to boot :]

so here we try. im going to be working out for the next 7 weeks 4x a week for 45 mins or more. it feels great!
im taking a test Monday ro tuesday to tell me my amount of healthy and excess fats.
itll be good to just be knowledgable. :]

im feeling good.

oh yes and in the past oh 7 weeks ive had maybe 3 cigarettes. im basically a nonsmoker :]

kickboxing.

so i am enrolled in a step aerobics slash cardio kickboxing class.

and today we did step aerobics. while we looked completely silly. i felt amazing after doing it.

ive been trying toeat better and today had a 6 inch sub for breakfast from subway. (odd i know but i needed protein). for lunch i had tuna and crackers, sin mayo.

i also had some fruit and asparagus to munch on when i got the munchies and then now zucchini and onions for dinners. trying to get in a lot more veggies and also more water in.

im feeling good. i have goals (which reminds me i have homework) an i'm going to work back on them.

i want to be healthy and energetic. im doing that

i want to have better stamina and be in shape: im doing that

i want to go to college: im doing that

i want to learn spanish more fluently: im doing that

i want to be the best version of me: im doign that.

is it also part of it that i am recently single and wanting to have a boost of confidence? YES.

i Love J. i Do. we were going to get married. but Love doesnt stop because a relationship does.

i havent told many people.

its no ones business.

i feel very positive and happy among things going on around me.

life is beautiful.

and so am i.

fruit.

today i am eating volumes of fruit.

a nice cleanse and feeling good right before classes start tomorrow.

im taking kickboxing class 50 minutes a day for 4 days a week.

looking forward to feeling invincible :]

learnign ways to allow me freedom to feel amazing.

getting ready for 2 hours while i dance around to a sexy song

getting dolled up

buying new makeup

going for a run

walking A LOT

putting on workout clothes (spandex CAN make you feel sexy :] even at a size 14)

singing at the top of my lungs...the good stuff.

its important to feel free and alive!

and thats what the journey is about, gettign more moments like those :]

good luck all. its a new day and im alive!

yes im single...

and lost 7 lbs this week.

im really not trying to do it wrong.

but ive had one interesting sabbatical.


school starts next week. added cardio kicboxing to avoid freshman 15. :]

y espanol.

but that doesnt help anything but fun :]

:]

devin was about 4...so this mustve been about 4 years ago?
this was me about 3 years ago :]
this was right after i had Julian, i had to throw this in to make me feel better for all the progress. lookit that face! :]
i miss this.
and this.
lol i even made an EEG look good.
this is the one i went to get. i didnt know how to be less awkward, luckily ive grown into my features :] unluckily ive grown into my features :(
:] not the best photo, but look at my definition! i miss this. and this is what i work for.

doesnt it feel good to sweat? yes, only when you are intending to :]

Jbug woke me at 530 this morning, and i decided to stay awake.

i went to a show last night, my friend Evan's band, Break as we Fall (amazing btw...go see them. www.myspace.com/breakaswefall) at a bar and grill and sipped on fruit juice and water and ate a fruit bowl. i wasnt hungry really, and didnt want to mow down on a huge burger or anything.

upon hearing a sexy rexy song, can you say Butterfly by Mr Jason Mraz? i got a kick in my pants.

i miss feeling sexy. i feel good almost all the time, pretty beautiful, adorable lovely.
but i havent felt sexy in awhile.

i also found a photo from years ago at a keane concert with my sister (another shameless band plug) and it made me miss THAT body.

im still me, and i still LOVE me, and i think anyone who wants to lose weight needs to love themselves first before they think a new body will help.
i love who i am, and i dont need to lose weight to love and be loved, but it helps me feel good.

im gonna show that photo...hold please bloggers:

okay they loaded above.

the sad thing, is when i was this small i didnt do it necessarily the right way. when i was in high school i had some horrible methods, and never again will i be THAT girl.

i deserve to EARN it.

and my son deserves his mom to be the BEST she can be. :]

i dont know why i hated running, or why sometimes i still dont just go do it. after the first 10 minutes run slash walking i feel phenomenal. :]

all right ass, get.in.gear. :]

im gonna be someones butterfly.

placed a bet.

with H.

for every lb lost, we pay each other a buck. lets see who comes out on top :]

goal now is to get to my actual license weight. it would be a trip to be the only person i know with the real weight :]
