50 Pound Project

Life is just really crazy right about now.

Well, I’m stuck in the 180’s. Right around 185 to be exact. But I’m working on it. 
I’ve started swapping a meal a day out for a salad. It’s been helping a lot and I’m feeling a lot better than I was before. Only problem being that I’m having some pretty nasty stomach problems. I feel like I should get that checked out. But right now I’m having other health issues, too, so I want to wait until that clears up before I get my stomach checked out.

Working out has been a lot harder of late than usual. Work has kept me almost completely occupied. But, with it being summer now, and that meaning that I can use the school playground behind my house whenever I want, I should be able to get back into the swing of things just as soon as I can find some free time. 

Boyfriend has a goal of doing 1000 pull ups in the month of June. I think I’m going to go for 1000 crunches. Yeah, that sounds like an attainable goal. :) And also, I’m going to try to lose 8 pounds during the month of June. That would put me down to 179 or 178. Which would be a whole 20 pounds down from where I started. :) 

Maybe I should set a calendar of goals for June? That could be fun…

Getting into parkour. And lazy vaults are a lot of work. But I’m working on my stamina and endurance. And my vaults. Lol

I know it isn’t the best method for losing weight, but I’ve been stuck at 187.6 for about a month. I need to do something different so I’m counting calories and I’m going to have to start working out more.

This week has been really suckish. I haven’t been able to stay on track for anything. After slitting my finger open on Sunday all I’ve wanted to do is indulge and take comfort in sweets and junk. My meals have still been pretty healthy and I’m trying not to over indulge, but a cookie here, and a chocolate Easter egg there kind of add up. Not to mention its shark week, so that isn’t helping at all.
And work has been rough. I can’t use my left hand as well because of my stitches. I can’t bend my left index finger. So I’m having to relearn how to do a lot of things. And waking up at 6am and working till 4 and 5 every day makes you want to not work out. Thank god my new position at the store is going to be much more of a physical job. Working frozen foods is a lot more cardio and lifting. So I’ll probably still be hitting a good amount of physical activity per day.
I just want to do yoga do badly!!!! But I can’t do anything that involves using my hand!!!

I feel like I’ve done really well this past week, and I feel like I’ll do even better this week. I’m always scared when weigh in day comes around, but I’m fairly certain that it’ll be okay now that I’m back on track. I feel good about losing weight again and I want it so bad. I just can’t wait to get to 178. That’s my next goal. I’m working toward it, very diligently. I know that I got off track for a while but I’m back now and I don’t want to lose momentum again.

I love this workout. I have got to finish it.
