Productive!

Hey Friends, 

So this week has been an extremely healthy week! I’ve been eating well… I haven’t been working out extremely hard. I’ve been trying to get into a routine though. So far things seem to be working. 

I’ve decided that I’m not going to hop on the scale or do measurements or anything like that more than once a week! I think its pointless. You won’t see a difference in one day or two. Even when you work hard you don’t see a difference right away within the week. Its usually within the next two weeks that you see a slight difference. So there isn’t a point in bogging down my mind and stressing about numbers. 

I’m measuring my achievement through the little things… like being able to run an extra km, or just getting up in the morning at 7am and feeling amazing! I’m measuring how I’m doing by the way I feel. Not what the numbers tell me. 

I’ve already started noticing a difference though. Theres a bounce in my step, and I have a lot more energy in the mornings! 

Hope everybody is keeping safe and healthy this summer!

Love,

J 

Oh no…

WTF? 

First time in ages that I log onto this blog via my computer and I discover that nothing I’ve blogged via my phone has been posted????? GAH. That was essentially every single blog post about my progress and my days, and cool tips I’ve discovered…. URGH. SO FREAKING FRUSTRATING. 

K. To sum it up a lot of my posts were about how I had started to just focus on maintaining my weight, being healthy, and not getting sick. School had started getting insanely busy, and stressful. So I didn’t have as much time as I would have liked to focus completely on overhauling my diet, and fitness regime. I’ve pretty much lost about 5 pounds…. Fluctuating a bit during exam time… aka gained it back during exam time. I think all those 4/5am snacks were what did it. :P

From now on, because it’s summer and I don’t have an extreme amount on my plate I have come up with an action plan.

I’ve been going for a run 5 days a week, as well as doing exercises and what not at home. Along with eating extremely healthy! I found a wonderful app for my iPhone called MyFitnessPal which will help me keep track of my weight, measurements, as well as what I eat. 

I’m also reading this really informative book called Eat to Live by Joel Fuhrman. Its a great book that talks about transforming your diet not just to lose weight but to BE HEALTHY! 

My official mission is to get down to about 130ish pounds and be able to run 10k in under an hour by July 6th which is when I leave for Europe. After that my mission is to not gain any weight and find a way to still get exercise in Europe! 

Anyways, time for me to go for a run on this lovely and beautiful day! 

Lots of Love,
