It’s Thanksgiving, and I thought I should record my weight loss before I gain a few pounds this afternoon.

I only lost 4 pounds since October 1st, but I’ve made some very significant gains in muscle mass and strength!!  So it goes both ways with getting healthier.  Just because I don’t lose weight doesn’t necessarily mean I am not getting healthier.

Now I’m able to bench 205 lbs and I’m able to squat 275.  I used to not be able to bench more than 150 lbs and I was able to barely squat my former body weight before the semester.

So while I am not losing weight, I can tell I’m losing fat because it came to my attention recently that my cheeks look thinner on my face!  So I can tell I’ve lost weight just by smiling now, and that is pretty awesome.

Well, I think I’m going to go gain about 2 or 3 pounds in a few hours.  I swear my new tennis shoes (my goal for when I get down to 215 lbs) will never come.  lol  But I know they will sooner than I think.

For everyone else about to have a happy thanksgiving, don’t let the festivities get you down.  Be thankful that you still have the ability to work it all off! 

Peace out, and stay on that Journey to Fitness!  :)

I am down 10 pounds in the last 2 months.  :D  So I’ve gone from 230 to 220.  I think I deserve some apple slices and caramel.  Normally I’d say I deserve Chinese food, but I don’t want to gain 10 pounds back.  lol

Glad to share my progress.  I partially blame myself for having the flu for a little while.  I swear that took off a few pounds just by being ill.  But it also helps that I cut out soda from my diet, so now I only drink diet Sierra Mist, if any soda at all.

I’ve also been eating lots of apples.  Those guys are filling!

Love you all, and keep up with the health and fitness, my few followers.

I’ve been doing moderately well.  I’ve lost 4 pounds since the beginning of the semester and I’m certain I’ve gained muscle as well!!

I am in a Strength Training and Fitness class, so I do lots of heavy lifting twice a week now.

I raised my new Bench max to 185 pounds! I’ve NEVER been able to push that much doing bench press, but I’ve been getting a lot of support from my classmates and friends Devon and Austin, who always tell me “add 5 more pounds” or “do 2 more reps” while working out.

I have also learned about a wonderful, WONDERFUL, abdomen exercise known as the Cat Vomit!  I should have learned about this years ago.  If you haven’t heard of this, look it up and give it a try!!

I would like to follow more blogs that update frequently and are closer to my age. :)

Eighteen and three-fourths and doing it the healthiest way possible! :)

I’ll be 26 next month.  I can’t wait to be as thin and lean as I was back in high school!  :)  My blog is my journal on how I get there.
