January down, the rest of 2012 to go...

Made it through January! My eating needs to improve, but I went to the gym almost every time I said I would. I think it was 11 times this month? Yeah, 11. That's right. Feelin' good! I can see a slight definition in my calves, and my lower back underneath my fat roll is getting pretty hard.

I'm not sure where to start because I have several things to write about. Hmmm, I guess we'll start with this:

^Jars I made as a somewhat fun way to see weight loss, without graphs, notes and pie charts and the like. Saw it on Pinterest, of course. Just something cute. I haven't been able to put any beads in the 'lost' jar, but I'm not getting discouraged. Pinterest is just the best ever. I narrowed the display to show only fitness things, and there have been so many great motivational things! My plan for my next craft night is to make a motivational collage, which I'm so excited about.

I took a topless pic. It's from the side, I'm holding my boobs, of course, and I have yoga pants on. I don't have the guts to post it yet. Once you can see a difference, I will. It's shameful as hell.

I started a project that oddly, I did NOT find on Pinterest.

I took a thick poster/foam board thing, glued on the days of the week, and attached an envelope with a binder clip. In each envelope, there is a gym goal. A different one for each day. For example:

I've hit my goal on the treadmill every day. But on Monday, I was exhausted and whatnot, and...did legs instead of arms. So I'm a little off, but IT'S NEW SO GET OFF MY BACK ALREADY. Weights are an extremely important part of my workout, so I try my damnedest to not skip them. That, unfortunately leaves me short on time in the morning, so every day this week, I have skipped the elliptical and tanning. Tanning I can live without, but I'd really like to get back up on my arch nemesis, Senor Elliptical. Also, almost all of those days were fucked up in regards to the food I wrote at the bottom. I suck at preparing food, and then I make a salad from the caf at work. Whatevs.

One of my favorite machines at the gym is the leg press.

Creepy that I take pics at the gym? lol

I can do 190lbs at 5 resistance and it makes me feel like such a badass. lol Most of the leg machines I can do a decent amount of weight on. Prolly because they've been carrying around this ass for so long. It's upper body that I hate so much. But my heybabies are literally out of control. It's ok though, I'm not going to beat myself up. It's been such a great month and it's becoming a habit, so I'm happy.

I feel like all I talk about is the gym anymore. Because I feel like I live there. Today is my 4th day in a row. Yikes bikes. My plan is to go every day this week and take a break on Sunday. We'll see. I might be so excited and pumped up by making it 7 days, that I go on Sunday and make it 8. :) I'm excited for Saturday. Dionna is coming to my PF so I can show her some of the machines. It's gonna be fun and I'm gonna get a hell of a workout in.

I guess that's it for now. I felt like I had a lot more to write. But I need to (of course) pack my gym bag, set some goals for the beginning of next week, and get my lady-balls in bed. Goodnight, internetz!
