Healthy Liz

Derp.

Hey guys!  So, I was at Macy’s today to buy heels for this event I have to go to and I decided to browse around for some new capris.  I found a pair I like and a pair of shorts I like.  

I should mention that I haven’t worn shorts since I was like, 10.  Trying them on made me realize two things: 1. I need a tan, 2.  I need to start doing squats.  Nothin’ like the harsh ugly lighting in a dressing room to point out all the dimples on your thighs.  

But I bought them anyway because they fit and because they’re cute.  And I’m determined to actually wear them out in public this summer.  

I’ve been getting pretty strong in Yoga this semester but I’m going to kick it up a notch and start working on really making my legs look good!  Now, I know you can’t just spot train and expect real results.  I need to up my cardio, as well.  So, that’s what I plan to do.  :)

This is from the other day because I look really terrible today.

Oh my god guys I’m sorry I’m just the worst at updating.    

Yoga has been going great!  I feel really strong and healthy.  I can almost do a real girl pushup! (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Like, and actually go down all the way and back up.  

However, I haven’t lost any weight.  This has been the busiest semester of my life.  I’m still floating around 260 lbs.  I had the stomach flu a few weeks ago and got down to 255 (which is actually really disgusting) but once I got my appetite back, I got the weight back.  C’est la vie.  

But, anyway, I wanted to say hi since it’s been so long.  I decided that even once I graduate, I’m going to stick with Yoga because I love it so much.  I’m going to look into taking classes at a studio.  

I miss you guys.  My main blog is here so if you want to follow me there you can.  Also, feel free to ask questions - might help me stay accountable for this blog :)

2013 Start Weight: 262.8 lbs

Current Weight: 260.2 lbs

Loss: 2.6 lbs!

Hooray!  I knew I was bloated last week.  And I feel so much stronger after only two weeks of yoga.  So, anyway, that’s where I am.  Time is moving faster than I’d like and it’s freaking me out.

I know, I know I look really tired.  It’s because I am.

2013 Start Weight: 262.8

Current Weight: 262.8

Loss: 0.0

Ok, so when I stepped on the scale this morning, the first time it said 262.0 and the second time it said 263.0.  I normally pick the weight that it gives me the first time but when I stepped on a third time it said 263.0.  So I don’t know.  I either lost 0.8 lbs or gained 0.2 this week.  So, for the sake of simplicity, I left it as I lost nothing.  So, that’s fine.  

Like, I said, I was on my period and classes started.  I have little time Monday-Thursday to hit the gym.  BUT, my yoga class started!  And I love love love it!  I’m incredibly sore but I loved every second of it.  It’s a 90 minute class and it goes so quick.  

Anyway, I hope you all are well!

This photo is a few days old, but I don’t look cute right now.  

I’m not ignoring you guys, just haven’t had much to say!  I started my Yoga class today!  I loved it.  Really, really loved it.  Granted, we only did like, basic stretches and moves today, but it was great.  I go again in two days.  And weigh in is on Friday.  Fair warning: I’ve been on my period this week so… we’ll see.  I don’t know what to expect.  

Hope you all are well, talk in a few days.

I was all ready to copy-paste my weight chart I had last year but.. I’m thinking since it’s 2013, I should start a new one!  

2013 Start Weight: 262.8

Current Weight: 262.8

Loss: n/a

Now for my goals:

I graduate from college in May.  That’s 4 months.  I’m really terrible with sticking to a number but I think I’ll aim to be out of the 250’s by May.  Sixteen weeks.  Thirteen pounds.  This is my current goal and I will re-group once I get there! 

Wow guys, I’m sorry I suck so much!  It’s been a while, no?  

I’ve been too scared to step back on the scale since I’ve been back.  But I feel like crap.  I re-inflated my swiss ball today and I’m gearing up to get back on it.  Like I mentioned, before, I’m taking a yoga class this semester.  It meets twice a week and while I’m nervous for it, I’m totally stoaked.  

My goal for tomorrow is to step on the scale!  I know I gained over break, but I’m hoping it wasn’t much.  I have a few errands to run tomorrow that I’ve been putting off since it’s been so cold here, and then I plan to hit the gym.  

Will update more tomorrow with my official 2013 plan.  (I know, January is already almost over.  Oh well.  I graduate in 4 months, need to get in shape!)
