--> currently 5'10 and approx. 150lbs
--> 35.5 - 27 - 37
--> gluten free diet since April 2012!
--> working out every day when possible!

I’m not trying to be negative but I just wish I could have more days where I was happy with myself :/

Between getting sick (more than once) and the weather change, and varying schedules of work and (his) classes, my boyfriend and I haven’t been able to exercise as much as we have been. We had been lifting about three times a week and getting in cardio by taking Titan on walks or going biking. Our trail riding got put on hold while I recovered from the fall back at the end of August. I’m slowly getting better at it but it takes time. Too bad the season for that is almost over.
I’m not angry but I am disappointed in myself.
Last month we both lost 1-2 pounds which doesn’t sound like a lot but considering that we haven’t been at our best, it is nice. Except next week is Thanksgiving so I wouldn’t be surprised if we gained that back.
What a simple idea, but I’ve never seen it before. I like it a lot.

I battled an eating disorder for as long as I can remember. My weight was ALWAYS up and down and up and down. My highest weight was 210lbs. This past year I’ve been trying my best to lose weight and lose it the right way! No more killing myself. I’ve been eating healthy and going to the gym and getting really fit. When I started to gain weight I was FREAKING out and almost went back to my old ways. I took this picture today and even though there isn’t that much of a difference (and maybe you can’t even see it) I know that I see progress. This is the first time in my life that I’m okay with gaining weight and that I’m excited to continue my journey in being HEALTHY and to hopefully living a long and beautiful life!! We got this, ladies! We are worth it! <3

I started focusing on exercising and eating healthy right around the same time you did and I can understand the surprise from gaining weight because I did/have too! I was shocked and freaking out at first but then I started paying more attention to how I was starting to look and I could see an increase in muscle mass in some places. I get obsessive when I weigh myself but when I don’t, I tend to be okay with how I’m doing progress-wise. It’s been almost two weeks since the last time I weighed myself and I’m proud of that.
Also, a good way to keep track of muscle gain is by taking pictures of specific areas while flexing instead of just one body shot. You’ll definitely be able to see more of a difference that way!
You’re doing great so far though, keep it up!

In the past week, I was able to add five pounds to the weighs I use. So proud! I’m finally getting muscle in my arms and it isn’t taking that much effort at all!
Still not really seeing any fat loss… I guess I need to switch to a stricter diet that focuses mainly on lean meats and vegetables. I need to cut down on the fruits too probably, I eat more of them than I do vegetables… They’re just easier to take with me when we go out. I guess I’ll get something figured out.
Still mostly happy with myself. Some progress is better than no progress!
On a side note, I bought a bike the other week when we were at Target. It’s just a little purple and white Schwinn but I like it! However, it (and hills) kick my butt. A twenty minute ride wears my legs out more than an hour in the gym does. That’s a good thing though! I’m going to try and ride for at least half an hour every day. I need to get out of the house more for one thing but it will also definitely help up my endurance! I’mma have some sexy legs soon! :D
I posted this in response to an ask, but I think this needs to make the reblog rounds, so I’m posting it as a photo.
This is why weight and bmi alone are not good measures of physical fitness and body size/shape/composition.
Weight only tells you how many pounds you’re carrying around. Those pounds could be made of jelly or steel. (Or some sexy concoction of both).
BMI only tells you how many pounds you’re carrying around in relation to your height — again, it says nothing about what your body looks like or is physically capable of doing.
So before you take someone’s height and weight and make assumptions about their size/their shape/their fitness levels/their strength/their body fat percentage — check yourself.
Else you are in serious danger of wrecking yourself.
Fitblr, out.
I really don’t give a fuck about the information… reblogging for the “fitblr, out” Pauly D gif. Lshmsfoaidmt! (Laughing so hard my sombrero falls off and I drop my taco)

It’s been ridiculously hot this past week and even hotter these past few days (the highs are 100+) so I haven’t been walking outside at all. It makes me feel lazy and then I end up feeling worse since I haven’t been able to take my puppy on walks. He tends to be more destructive when we don’t but he’s all black so even being outside for a few minutes has him panting.. Hopefully the heat will go away soon.
Between work and other activities, I haven’t been able to work out since Wednesday which is a major no bueno! However, we went to a concert/rave Friday night and were standing for four-five hours and dancing for the last two of those so I guess I got something done.
June has had its ups and downs but today starts a new month and that means I can do even better! I started building muscle in June and I plan to continue that this month plus hopefully lose more of this fat! :)
reblog this if you are trying to lose weight… whatever height, size etc.. i just need more motivation and a faster dashboard.
