This blog is to document my journey to lose weight and become the Fit Girl that's been trapped under all these layers.

A Week In
I have had my gym membership for a week. I have started working out with a train. She's fantastic. So far I have had 4 sessions with her and its been nice. I only missed 2 days out of the 7 and those were Sat and Sun. I weighed in at 199 at the gym as my starting weight on Tuesday and yesterday I was 197!!! woot! So 11lbs so far! And it was at my usual weigh ins on Weds. So excited. Also been wanting to go to Walmart to try on size 12 in my favorite jeans to see what is going on! :) Hope all is going well.

Do you guys out in Internet land have goals for this new season?
One Month In
Hey y'all. I am one month in using the ReFirm. I have lost 7lbs. I have lost inches too. 1.5" from my hips, 2" from my waist, 2" from each of my thighs, .5" from each bicep, and .5" from my bust!
I got sick last week when I tried the Jillian Michaels bloat flush stuff off Pinterest. I got 1.5 days in and was messed up all week. Will never do that again! So my weight loss isn't great but 7lbs in a month for me is AWESOME!!! I am below 200. So mini goal met! I have lost 10lbs since starting this weight loss journey in Jan. So I got my 1st bead from Hallmark. Thinking I should have gone more expensive with beads but I also think I can spend the extra savings on new clothes since I will need some more. My next mini goal will be 193! which is 5lbs away.
I went to Kohl's on Sat and tried on a size 12 Bermuda shorts and they buttoned! Awesome right! I also tried on some other shorts at Old Navy. Not knocking Old Navy but I won't shop there until I am much smaller. Their size 14 didn't fit and the 14s i bought from Walmart at getting too loose. :P at them! I got a different brand of pants at JCP to turn into capris or shorts for $4 but I rethought that idea when I put them on and OMGosh!! <3 them! So wish I would have gotten then in a 10 for this winter coming up. :) Maybe I can alter them to fit... We will see. I got rid of my FAT girl clothes!!! Well actually they are sitting in a garbage bag waiting to be taken to the Good Will.
Oh I am the proud owner of a gym membership!!! I got Hubby one too and the girls can do their KID FIT classes too! Awesome! I went today and it was nice to get some cardio in on top of the strength training. I bought another outfit to workout in. The pants are a 12/14 Wahoo!!! I went from XXL (20) to L (12/14) in 3 months! I did get a large shirt though so I have room to move in. Its the first day of Spring but here in NWA it is a bit chilly (45*) with a chance of snow this weekend! I am ready for warmer weather.
I also have been slathering on some tanning lotion. My little pasty white calves are darkening up pretty nice. I am using the Hemp lotion I bought at Walmart. Love the smell and no streaks that I can see. I do have the tanning with my membership but I am not using it for the cancer issues that come with that. To each their own when it comes to fake bakin'! :)
I get to meet the personal trainer tomorrow and maybe sign up for a month or so of training so that I can get an idea of how to correctly get my fitness on! I am also revamping my rewards for weight lost! I am thinking I want to get some of those cute shirts with the fitness related saying on them or at least make my own!
My body is changing and I like that. I have 2 weeks or so til my BIG 30 birthday and I am hoping for another 10lbs lost! which would put me close to my goal of 25lbs lost by then.

Needing Inspiration
Needing some serious inspiration. I am at a plateau and I am depressed about it. But looking a this side by side I am getting smaller. The white shirt was at 208 or so lbs and I was wearing a size 16 jeans and xxl shirt. The orangish shirt I am at 199 and wearing a size 14 jean and xl shirt (juniors) (Medium in women's). I just liked this shirt and went with it. :) I think ive lost some boobage. LOL thats makes me happy. I am firming up and gaining mass so I am thinking I probably need to check bf% lol

Bad weekend
This past weekend was one of eating badly. I did get a bunch of walking in but I didn't eat clean to take advantage of the exercise. I put on 4lb of water weight from the salt intake being a tad bit high. I have lost all but 1lb of it which should happen today. :) I need to ramp up my exercising. I am loving this warmer weather which will get me outside more now. I bought a kettle bell (10lbs), a weighted ball (8lbs), and a pair of 8lb dumbbells because 10lbs is a bit too heavy and 5lbs is too light. I am also using a pair of thigh slimmers and the waist slimmer to help wittle those areas.
I just restocked my daily lean packets as well as the Tone pills since it was the sale the first part of the month and I had some coupons. I told the guy that worked there my results and he said 5lbs were awesome results for a week. :) I'm hoping that it continues to falls off like that. :) I bought a size 8 swimsuit and I can get it on but I have to cram myself into it but I know that I probably could wear a 10. :) My size 16 jeans are officially fat girl jeans and my size 17 khakis are along with those. I had to get another pair of 14s to get me through the rest of the winter. Looking forward to getting size 12 shorts here soon. My shirt size is a medium now. i bought a bunch of med shirts for next winter and they fit now so I am thinking that I should have bought some Small ones. Exciting!!!!
