Im getting back into exercise for the first time in about 2 months, seriously its a bit longer than that, I have done the odd DVD here and there but I still didn't have the best eating habits so now its the 'next go round!'
I have been stuck at 11stone 12Ibs since I went to London in August, it was my goal to be a mid 11 stone for that (big shopping trip, new clothes etc) and I think my not quite achieving that made me spiral down into a bit of a lazy 2 month period.
I dont mind that though, I mean, I feel now that my body has had a chance to get used to the new shape & size I have become and my muscles have caught up and what not... It was probably a good thing, a break for a bit.
Now though its definitely round 2, Im going to put everything into loosing a bit more weight and getting my worst areas in shape and then maybe in the new year I will be who I want to be and look like!
I only want to loose another stone or so, I always thought a mid to high 10stone would be good for my body type but it all depends at what I actually look like when I get there...
Realistically I only have 3 bad parts of my body now; my arms, my thighs and my belly / hip area. Im quite pleased with my waist, bum and overall shape but when it comes to sleeveless tops or a short skirt without black tights I just cant do it yet. I wish to particularly focus on my thighs and arms for the next few weeks to catch them up with my waist and such...
So I have set myself some new goals to try and achieve:
I want to look fab in my quite short and slutty Halloween Dress in 3 weeks
I would like to be able to wear a particular white cute dress with only leggings underneath that is a bit tight atm in the second week of November for my mates Bday...
I would like to wear a sleeveless dress or top for New Years Eve, not sure if I will achieve this or not.... It a real issue with me, having wobbly fat arms.
I would like to be 10stone something by January so that's 14Ibs ish in 11 and a bit weeks... a pound+ a week and that's possible but we shall see.
I would love to be DONE with my 'weight loss' by 2011 and then just be happy staying in shape and eating right to maintain who I want to and will be!
Im also getting a WII Fit thingy for Christmas and I cant wait, thats a brill thing to keep in shape and it keeps track of your weight and sets goals etc... I want one now!! Im impatient! :p
But yeh so this is 'ROUND 2' of Jess's Weight loss.
For the last 3 days I have done exercise every day whether it was a DVD or one of my gym classes as I know have another whole year of gym membership and even better my classes are back!
Friday I did the New Jillian Micheal's DVD that came out the other day and boy that was tricky, it doesnt help Im really out of shape fitness wise literally done nothing for a month and a half but work lol but yeh a great all round DVD for speeding up your metabolism and burning fat.
Saturday I did my FitnessTV saved show Legs, Bums and Tums (as Im focusing on my legs atm) and it feels like its starting to work already and I enjoy squats, leg lifts and crunches and thats kind of the main workout with some cardio thrown in...
Today (Sunday) I went along to my Aerobics class at the gym, it was fab, I love it... Im also pretty good at it and even though she was giving us a new routine I picked it up quickly and was at the front leading the way... lol *Toot Toot* Its really leggy this routine so thats great for me and my focus atm...
I really think I can do this last bit of my marathon and I have plenty of exercise to be doing:
Mondays is Kickboxing
Wednesday is Aerobics
Sundays is also Aerobics (if I haven't been out dancing all night before lol)
Every other day is a possible day for home exercise whether that is a DVD, general strength work (crunches and leg lifts etc) housework, sexy times :p or briskly walking too and from work.
I am also going to aim for the next 3 weeks to go to the gym twice a week to use the bikes, cross trainer and treadmill for an hour to really shape up my leggies.
I still have a few clothes that look a bit tight on me so trimming down a bit further will allow me to be the best I can be.
I am also taking another type of natural slim aid, similar to Adios which I took for a few months last year, this one is Zotrim, its more expensive but stronger I think full of caffine and other ingredients to make you feel full or something... I just think these things cant do any harm and if they can actually speed up weight loss then fab. But we shall see...
I am also gonna to get back on track with my eating, smaller portions, calorie counting, fruits and veggies and no more puddings for a while, a meal doesnt need a pudding every time its excessive! I have already prepared a new box of sucky sweets to stop my sweet cravings, having a werthas original or a lolly pop its still sugar but no where near like a slice of cake and thus better for weight loss... The same is to be said about a cup of light hot chocolate to stop those choccie cravings.
As I write my other blogs I have a starting paragraph about how my current weight loss is going, what weight I have lost and what exercise I have done and then go into the main blog for all the chapters of my book I still have to do :)
Im going to back track a little in my next blog and discuss University and where the weight came from and how I started to shift it slowly...
But for now it my Next Go Round and bring it on!
