"Thinspiration"


Source: http://yumfitspox.tumblr.com/page/20
Dang that's inspiration.

Today:

20 min on bicycle = 100 calories
50 llbs for upper strength training 10 reps together, 10 reps each arm
40 crunches
50 llbs for lower strength training 10 rep together, 10 reps each arm
40 crunches

OMG I am never having another munchkin. I just looked up glazed munchkin because I wasn't sure on the calorie in take. 200 per munchkin! I had four =( cause I didn't have lunch. 800 cal easy. That's worse than the coffee roll I ate yesterday, 400 cal. How can *that* be? Smallest calorie food item is apple pie and a bagel. I guess I should have a bagel. Or try that almond flour bagel recipe this weekend. -nod-

I guess I should be okay, though cause I just guesstimated my total calorie in take to be around 1180 today. That's not including dinner. So its fine. But OMG 200 calories in a food item that's the size of a ping pong ball? Dang Dunkin Donuts. I need to find something else to sooth my sweet tooth. Caramel latte is just barely cutting it.

I weighed myself today and It looked like I was a half pound down. hm.

Weight Complain

Since college I've stopped focusing my energy and thoughts on my body and weight. I went to a preppy high school where all the girls were barbie thin. I wasn't that overweight, but it made me feel obese. It made me care WAY too much about my weight. I starved myself a little bit (not having lunch etc) because it made me think I was thinner. But I realized it made me eat even more. I just kind of gave up trying to be thin because I felt if I was thin, I may fit in more. But I gave up. I haven't bothered to exercise much in college because I did/do not have the energy. I just watched what I ate. Sure I gained some pounds but who hasn't gained weight in college? I blame the state of the food, really.

My current weight doesn't even reflect how I currently look.

Since I'm almost done with college (hopefully) I began to focus more on my weight. I joined Work Out World (yes I read the reviews, but they had a non-commitment deal and I only needed it for four months).

Although I've been dying to get into fashion as a visual expression and the only way I would make that route easier on myself is if I lost a lot of weight. I'm currently around 44" - 47" all around and ideally I'd like to cut that in half. Yes, that is the long term goal, and it will be a long road. But I think I have enough determination now to get there. We'll see if I make any progress this summer.

My current routine is:

Fat Burn on Bike for 15 min ends up usually burning 70-90 calories depending on how intense I work out
Upper Arm strength training at 50 llbs (10 reps together, then 10 reps each side)
40 Crunches
Lower body strength training at 50-100 llbs (depending on the machine) (10 reps together, then 10 reps each side)
30-40 crunches to finish up


Currently surfing pinterest for exercise inspiration... totally gonna try and switch to almond flour breads and maybe almond milk.
