Good times




So this week I decided to change the machines I use at the gym. I normally use the treadmill and the elliptical machine for 40minutes all together. This week I have been using the treadmill and a cross trainer. I know the cross trainer and elliptical machine are quite similar but I feel I can do more on the cross trainer. On top of this I have been experimenting with boxing. It is fun but the gloves they have in the gym...they smelled extra funky lol. I need to invest in my own gloves.  I have also gone and purchased some dumbbells. They are very cute and pink and weigh 3lbs each. I have been using them a lot when I am at home for my arms, shoulders strength training and boy have I discovered new muscles lol.

I have been hanging out with my friends at odd hours this week, going to bed at 7am.....loads of popcorn, pringles, alcohol, karaoke, films, lots of conversation...so I have not been helping my weight loss at all. But the good times were worth the junk! Good times helped me shift 3lb this week!

My song of the moment is Chipmunk ft Chris Brown - Champion.
Have a good week!

"sigh"

I am feeling quite frustrated to be quite honest. My scale has not moved this week. I have been eating healthy food, been to the gym 5times this week and no movement "sigh". I am considering doing a food diary again like I did in the beginning. I know the scale is not the ultimate measure of my health but its just making me feel a bit down.
But I will keep it moving
Have a good week!

I go H.A.M





So I have been basically to the gym everyday this week. 
 I had not been to the gym in a while, so I found doing my normal routine of 20minutes on the elliptical machine and my 20minutes inclined walk on the treadmill  quite hard at first, like seriously my body hurt like mad the next day but I never stop, I push myself....I know what I want and I am going to work my very best to try and achieve that. Besides that my week has really rather been blah! 

I am really looking forward to hitting the 60s now...I don't remember the last time I weighed anything in the 160s so you can imagine my happiness when I reach that. Lost a little over a pound this week...And my picture is someone who is inspiring me to lose weight right now and that is Jennifer Hudson..She looks amazing!

Have a great week!

Back at it



Well I am back from my holiday and indulge was the word I tell you. But it was x-mas and new year so what the heck. Anyway as with any indulgence of anything there is consequences and my scale happens to let me know that.  Do I feel guilty for this over indulgence? No because it was just for a short period of time , I was happy , had so much fun and now its time to get back to business. All work and no play makes Jake a dull boy. I have gained 2lbs. But I do no how to lose them. I am heading out to the gym as soon as I finish writing this and grocery shopping for some good healthy food. I have missed the gym so much and I'm sure it misses me too lol.

See you next Friday!
