#losing weight
I thought that having an eating disorder meant that you would lose weight. I am literally going insane over a plateaued weight.
I can’t remember the last time I felt this alone
I’m getting bad again. And unlike every other time, when I’ve sought out help,
This time I’m just letting it infest me.
I want to lose weight. No matter what. I want to feel numb, because I have been stuck in a rut of feeling too much for too long.
Getting lost in myself has never hurt so much.
It is the NEW YEAR and for many people continuing or starting on body goals has commenced.
I took a break this festive from the fitness and had fatigued my body from the travel so I decided to start mid January.
I had to learn some lessons along the way on what I need to carry in my gym kit and general rules when gyming to get the most of my 45min to 1 hour training session.
Whether you choose a local community running club, Zumba, a gym or a personal coach or trainer there are some non negotiable entitities you need to carry. As well what you MUST do as well.
MUST DO
1. A gym towel and water bottle are needed to be carried at all times. And also a tracksuit Jacket in case of weather changes.
2. Cellphone should always be untouched or on silent in a gym session. Do not get tempted to read messages or overshare your gym time by yourself. Get with it. Make sure it is safe from water or any damage.
3. Never ever carry junk food with you to the gym. People hate that ish.
MUST CARRY
1. Outdoor is a face cream and SPF sunscreen for the outdoors. A cap, visor helps stop sunburn.
2. Gym gloves, because weight training is better that way.
3. Deodrant. I choose mens deo because of the strong sweat smell. Fitness Planet gym insists one ato use their gym they need perfume and deodrant.
4. Your bathing equipment towels lotion and slippers to take a shower at the gym before you head out. Best to always wash off the grime and sweat. Carry easy change of clothes.
FINAL TIP
Arrange your items in easy order before you sleep or head out to make sure you do not forget to wear all items.
Wash gym clothes soon after usage so they do not pile into a stinky mess and leave your clothes with a sweaty stench.
Show up and Pump it up at the gym
Happy Exercise

After a rough month of sickness, chronic illness, and the death of our business owner and boss I had a 5 pound weight gain. It kills me to have to write it down especially after a plateau last month. I had to add this sticker to my journal to remind myself that weight loss is a journey and I will make it to my goal!
Went to see a baseball game this weekend and someone snapped this photo and I was dreading looking at it. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I am slimming down! Nothing can get in my way

CrossFit
Do any of you heavier (280ish pounds plus) people do CrossFit? One of my friends invited me to go to CrossFit with them this week but I’m scared that I am still too heavy and out of shape. They are super supportive but I’m still hesitant. Help??
Went out with some friends tonight and everyone was saying how much slimmer my face is. It’s hard to look at the pictures from less than a year ago.

Yep that’s my flabby ass arm. Do you know it’s smaller than it used to be? 6 inches smaller. Did you know I’m embarrassed of them? Did you know they are my least favorite? Did you know that I hate them and can’t wait for the day I can lose the fat and have skin removal surgery? Did you know that I just got a comment on a photo that I shared feeling confident and sexy that said “Those arms “ Don’t be hateful. Just because I share a picture doesn’t mean I’m proud of how I look or that I think I’m beautiful. It means I accept my flaws and that I am a work in progress. 65 pounds down from my top weight and working hard everyday to get better. Stop hating on other people. Love them through their trials. And commenter, I’m going to love you too- because people who leave hateful comments often leave them because of your own insecurities.

My swimsuit from last year would not stay up- so I branched out and bought a two piece. I’m choosing to ignore all the things I hate and focus on my butt- because while fat, my ass has always been flat- but squats are working!

Caught myself in the mirror this weekend and I was surprised. I’m not looking as lumpy and dumpy as I used to. This month has been a huge struggle and I have yet to lose a pound but my body is changing- so I guess it’s still a win.

I’m 40% of the way to my goal and I have less than 100 pounds to go!!!!! I honestly wasn’t sure I’d ever get here. Officially 65 pounds down and I could not be happier!

Trying not to be disappointed. I missed my goal by half a pound for the month. Down 9.3 pounds in May.
When I first started this endeavor in January I was wearing a size 26 (honestly sometimes a 28). I needed a pair of khaki shorts and my mom offered to run out and get me some. When she came by my house to drop them off, I looked at the tag and thought she had lost her damn mind. She bought me a size 20. No freaking way they would fit. But you know what? They fit. They went on. They buttoned. I can sit. They are tighter than I want to wear them but holy shit they fit.
