What I have been up too...

Its been a while, but things are good. I am still exercising, eating right, and feeling good. I have been spending a lot of time and energy reading different theories on nutrition and the human body. Some fascinating findings, I will up date my blog tonight with my reading list.

Slow and steady I am reshaping my body. I am going to start making some adjustments to my food intake and see what happens from there.

Good times.

SPRING BREAK!

I have the week off! (kind of, I have to work tomorrow, but the rest of the week is mine!)

things are going well. I feel good, I'm liking the way I am looking, and I like the direction things are going.

good times!

Howdy

I don't have much to report today. I am now almost half way through the semester, crunch time, when everything happens at once. Because I have retrained my mind and my body, I am not falling into my old habits. I still get up in the morning, exercise, eat a healthy breakfast, and plan for my day.

I am eating normal meals throughout the day, instead of skipping meals and then shoveling too much food in late at night, post show.

I feel good.
I am handling the stress level better...
Oh and did I mention, my blood pressure and resting heart rate have gone down, I am being better to my ticker! GOOD TIMES!

Loving the body I am in...

I feel like I have finished the first chapter in working toward a new me. I have made some quality improvements in my health and lifestyle habits. I am teaching myself how to look at myself. I know that sounds cheesy, but really its true, we are our own worst enemies.

I am learning, when we focus on all the negative and the things we hate, it only sends us down a bad path, "oh well, I am fat anyway, I will eat this, or fuck getting on the treadmill, it won't help"

Embracing what is good about me and my body, is making it easier to work on the things that need work. Each day I feel better inside and out. It is magic. Its magic that I am creating myself.

This working on me, if making me get back to doing the things I want to do in my life. I went to an audition this week (My first real audition in OVER TWO YEARS) I held my own, I had fun, and I survived the dance call. I am getting ready for others.

Each new day brings me closer to where I want to be, and who I want to be.

Body is shifting.

Starting Nov. 30th 226lbs Today March 1st 210lbs
Chest messurement 46" today 44"
Waist 45" today 40"
Hips 42" Today 42"

Quads 22" today 23"

All my size 36 pants and shorts are in a bag for good will, I can pull them on and off totally buttoned up

I am comfortably fitting into all my 34" (and I can fit into my "Loose fit" 32" jeans!

I have lost 7" of "fat" zone size and built up another inch to my quads (leg muscles) and a good thing, I had such skinny embarrassing legs (I am being sarcastic)

I do a minimum of one hour of cardio six days a week and burn about 1,000 calories in each session.

I am starting to see my abdominal muscles peaking out from the tub of lard!

I feel great.

Good times!
