Forgive my ranting

I know I haven't posted in forever, it is not because I am doing a awesome or am where I want to be. Actually quite the opposite.
Since last summer I have really struggled this may be Tmi but after my last keto run in May my horomones got out of wack, my dr said my body had never horomonaly adjusted  back to normal after having tioni and because I was on low dose birth control. I started having basically a non stop period, he put me on 3 months on high estrogen bc to hopefully help. Immediately my boobs grew and I started struggling more,  I also had insomnia and I was only sleeping 4 hours a night. After the 3 months I was up about 15 lbs.
My hormones have regulated but I am nervous to get back on any bc because of my past issues. After that round of hormones I figured the weight would just come off and when it didn't I started to feel unhappy with myself and started to put more weight on in November.
I am up to around 180lbs and not proud of it. On a positive note in January when I went to get my body fat checked I was pleasantly suprised to be at 18.7% BF lean mass at 146lbs to compare for you November 4th I was 156lbs and 16.2% lean mass 131.5lbs. So my body fat was much better than I was expecting since I put on muscle like I did.
I am so frustrated with myself for putting weight on, I have really emotionally been struggling with it and had 2 people at the gym today say things to me about it. So I guess it is time to change my attitude so now on to my real ranting.
It is so frustrating to let other people's opinions govern how we feel. By this I mean being told you should be ______ weight to be healthy for me that weight is 110 to 130lbs according to bmi (i know it is a flawed system but out is what our society uses) meaning I am penalized when getting life insurance because I am obese right now don't Ya know. But because that flawed number tells me I am obese I feel obese.
My next thing to rant about I guess it is embarrassing but people for some reason think I am pregnant on a monthly basis. Maybe it's because my daughter is almost 2 so it means I should be right? J/k. Just last week someone says oh I didn't know you were pregnant...... Wow neither did i...... Awkward silence the horrible part of that one was it was someone who knows I workout, do I really look pregnant? Don't they know to never ask that question? It just shocks me how much it happens, even this summer when I was the leanest I have ever been.
I was told this morning I need to talk nice to myself it is just so hard to do when people don't talk nice to you. I guess I look at the changes I have made and know I need to get that fat girl out of my head forever or I will never be happy with myself.

My goals: these are what I want:
Get to the point that people can look at me and know I workout, not dink around the gym but really workout.
Not have people think I'm pregnant
Not have people describe me as the big girl.

What is wrong with those goals? I can't control other people I can't achieve those goals

This is what I should want.
Become happy with myself period

I will work on that

Keto run before and after results

I recently did a Keto run (basically no carbs, high fat, high protein diet)  I primarily did this to work on loosing the stomach fat. I had my body fat done on day 1 and day 6 I was down .5%. I will have it checked later in the week after my body re adjusts to adding carbs back. Here are the before and after pics.I took the full body ones where it is a little harder to see the differences, but also the close up pics. (sorry for the butt shot!) I wanted to really document the places that needed it. and I really tried to make the poses and positioning the same, I took close up stomach pictures every day to see the small changes I was flexing in all the close up stomach shots since that is what I was trying to improve, Ab definition! for 13 days not too bad!

On a second note I had been having my body fat done every few weeks, because of my fitness level change we decided it was time to change to the 4 point check which is usually considered the most accurate, instead of an illiac pinch it does a stomach pinch right next to the belly button and includes a thigh pinch. I figured this would make my body fat jump up (it was at 21% the way we normally test and have tested for the past few years) but instead it dropped. With a 4 point pinch I was at 16.35%, However.... I know I am not 16% Body fat, but with excess skin and my build we figure a pretty good estimate of what I am is half way between the 2, which would land me 18 to 19%. Body Fat measuring is really about consistency, Which is why I always have Chance do it. We are going to be switching over to the 4 point so I will be saying those numbers and the others just so everyone knows!

Gold's gym 12 week Challenge results

So 2 weeks ago I found out I had won the 12 week challenge at the gym in the employee division! So excited here are the official pics from that! I was trying to look bad in my 1st pics, since the competition is judged completely on the pictures. Here they are! Change was -24lbs and a little over 5% body fat

Amazing to look back and see the changes!

2002

 A very watered down version of my story.

2004

2003

I have been looking back at where I have been recently. As Arlen and I look at pictures it is really amazing to think I was ever that fat. I knew I was fat but I had so many excuses to why I wasn't that fat. I "wanted" to loose weight but I wasn't willing or ready to put in the time and effort until a few years ago.

168lbs 31% BF

 I started really trying to change in December of 2009, I lost about 30lbs, and that June found out we were expecting. I tried to have a healthy pregnancy and did really good at not gaining weight back. However we had some complications and in September lost our baby.  it took awhile to get re motivated again and was really hard because I didn't have some of the connections and friendships I have now.
 October 2010 starting at Golds Gym I was around 210 lbs. I did mostly cardio but started to learn how to do some weights and resistance training. I decided to start the Gold's Gym Body Transformation Challenge in 2011 Starting January 7th I weighed 197lbs and had a body fat of 39%. By the end of the 12 weeks I weighed 180 and had a body fat of 32%. I did a lot of weight lifting and cardio and counted my calories every day. July of 2011 I was 168Lbs and about 31% Body fat.


August 2011- we found out I was pregnant, I worked out 5 days a week my whole pregnancy. My water actually broke while I was walking on a treadmill at Golds. Even though I really tried to be healthy and not gain too much weight I still found myself at 210lbs and 36.7% Body fat (body fat is not considered accurate when breast feeding but I wanted it tested anyway)

May 30th

After we had Tioni I waited 10 days before I worked out again, I wasn't capable of much just walking but I didn't want to loose the habits I had made. It was really hard with a new baby to get up and get to the gym if she was up all night and since I was nursing her I had to either feed her or pump before I left in the morning which means getting up extra early to be home before Arlen had to leave for school. I worked through it

November 25th 187.5lbs 30.1% Body fat

however tried to not make excuses even if they were valid and just be there. November is when it really kicked up I did a challenge with a friend and had just stopped nursing. This is when I feel the real changes started to happened.

April 15th 154.4lbs 22% Body Fat

Currently I am at 154 lbs and 22% body fat(2 weeks ago). I am working towards loosing the last 20lbs to reach my goal!

How did I do it?

 Hard work and dedication! I work out a lot! I work really hard at sticking to a healthy diet plan. I try to avoid excess sugars and white carbs except on my free days which normally happen once a week. Eat right and work out. It is what has to be done, and it sounds so simple which it is, however doing it consistently is not simple. It takes a lot of motivation and self control. I have had to learn to say no even when something may sound good, I have to think of the overall perspective. I am not perfect, I still crave bad food, but I have consistently made good healthy choices and turned them into habits.

Me, Arlen and Tioni

 I think the most important part of my success is my support group! I have lots of people who support me but here are a few. My husband Arlen, puts up with what I eat and that I don't always cook for him if he is not eating what I am eating. He puts up with me crawling out of bed between 4 and 5 am to go to the gym every morning, which means a lot of the time he has to wake up and feed the baby while I am gone. He puts up with my Gym friends and the amount of time I am gone working out, and most of all he supports my goals and that I have chosen this as a life style. My workout buddy and diet writer Todd, has put up with a lot over the 3 years we have been friends. Has taught me a lot about lifting weights which I had never done before. Makes me do things I don't want to do (like run) and keeps me on track with my diet. And sets up crazy mean HIIT circuits that secretly I think are meant to kill me! He also holds me accountable for what I do or don't do. My Family and friends who are active parts of my life help motivate me to do and be better. They also help take any excess "cheat day" food I don't want hanging around my house which I know is SUCH a burden!

Overall without having someone to do things with and to hold you accountable and support you through the rough times I think it would be almost impossible to make the changes I have made. I am so thankful for the people in my life!

This is not over, I am not done with what I know I can accomplish. I have bad days we all do, but I know that with dedication and consistency I can do anything!

I am not and probably will never be the skinniest sibling but I can probably safely say I am the strongest! We wont get another pic all together until Sheldon (in blue) is home from his mission in May/June of 2014!

My Family May 2012

This took 11 months I don't have good comparison pictures from before last year, I avoided the camera for obvious reasons in the past. these pics were taken 8 weeks after Tioni was born!
Weight change:  -56lbs
Body Fat Change: -14.7%
Inches lost:
Thigh -5.25 inches
Hips: -8 inches

May 30th 2012 to April 25th 2013

11 Months!

                 

 One of my new years resolutions was: My Selfish Goal: Look good in a bikini!
                   I am not one that has ever really wanted to wear one and I really feel a lot of women who wear them don't really rock them, But I want to rock it! (I already have a few of the raw materials others lack..) One of the things I always said is I really want one really good picture of my abs, so I want to feel comfortable enough with my self and my body to feel sexy in a bikini IN PUBLIC. (it is easy to feel that way in a dressing room but how many of us can feel that way in public, well I think that's a good goal that will really make me learn to love my body!)

I may not look to shabby, but I am not where I want to be yet, but give me a month or two and I am going  to rock it! Right now I wouldn't feel comfortable in public but I feel so much better about myself than I ever have. I will get my ab picture and it will be amazing!!!

April 16th

Today went pretty good, I have been craving sweets alot this week, I did fairly well today.

Diet: I did really well, and really tried to consume more water. I drank about 7 bottles (118 oz). I should have had more protein.

Workouts: 30 min cardio and 60 min weights in AM, Spin class in PM (only about 45 min today due to technical difficulties)

Total calories consumed: 1450
Total Calories burned: 1300

April 15th

I am going to try to do a daily log again about my day. It will be brief but will make me evaluate my day.

Today went really good, Workout wise did a total of 75 min Cardio, and 75 min of weights/abs. I did pretty good sticking to my diet. Should have had more water.

Total calories in: 1500
Total calories burned: 1100+

12 week Challenge results and new goals

Saturday was the end of the 12 Week Challenge at the gym. It really went fairly well and I feel really good about my results: I lost 24lbs, 7.7% Body fat and about 8 inches through my waist, Hips and thighs. My current weight on my home scale was 155lbs. A few awesome accomplishments in the last few weeks:
 #1: Pullups. I have been working on pullups using the assisted pull up machine. I am getting much stronger and this week decided to try to do 1 yes just 1 pullup un-assisted. I DID IT! I was so proud of myself! Now just to get stronger so I can do more.
#2: Running, I hate it my body wasn't designed to do it (I like to think) the past 2 weeks we have been doing HIIT training on the treadmill. Which includes running and walking intervals. In the past I cannot remember a time where I have run more than 3.5min straight on the treadmill. Our first day doing HIIT Todd said we would run 3 min, I was like ok I can do that, I have been doing lots of other difficult cardio I should not have a problem, Well 3 min turned into 8 min. I was dying but I did it. I know that it is my mind that is more weak than my body when it comes to this but I have a hard time doing that by myself. However I can now say since then, I have run a mile without stopping. I have run for over 12 min straight which for me is amazing and I know that my max speed for sprints is currently 9.5 which I don't think is too shabby.


Today I am setting new goals for the next 6 weeks so here goes:
By May 20th- weigh 145lbs, currently 155 so loose 10lbs
Body fat: 21% Currently between 22-23%

This years Progress

My Precious Tioni!

It has been a long time. I just haven't spent as much time on the computer as I did before and I haven't taken the time to blog. I am still working out hard and eating great. This week is the last week in our 12 week Challenge. I have actually done really well. So for those who have asked me here are my progress pictures. Since this week is also exactly a year since I had Tioni I have compiled pics that show this whole years progress. Also pics from my lowest weight/BF before my pregnancy compared to now. Wow for change!

July 2011 170lbs (about 31% Body fat)

April 2013 157.4 lbs

I have been terrible at posting this month, It has been really busy at work and I have been trying to get our house unpacked and organized. I will start blogging again on Monday and try to be more diligent. I have been doing great at working out and pretty good at eating healthy. I am currently at 166.8lbs and down to 25.8% body fat.

1/30

Today went great. I lifted legs and Shoulders this am and did a HIIT Training circuit in the afternoon. I did fairly well with my diet but should have eaten more consistently throughout the day. I also did not drink near enough water.

Total calories burned: 1000
Total Calories Consumed:1460

Results for last 12 weeks!

 12 Weeks ago I started a 12 week Challenge with some friends, It was a way for us to motivate each other to work hard through the holidays. My goals were to loose minimum of 20lbs and 5% body fat! Here are the final results!

                       Starting Stats           Ending stats                  Total Changed
 Body fat:             31.1%                   26.1%                              -5%
Fat Mass:             60.7 lbs                 45.1                                 -15.6                        
Lean Mass:          134lbs                    125.3                               -8.7
Weight:                194.8                     170.4                                -24.4 lbs
Hips:                    48.75                     44.5                                 -4.25
Waist (ABS):        42.25                     37.5                                 -4.75
Neck:                   13.25                     12.75                               -0.5


I was a little disappointed to loose 8lbs lean mass, but there is a possibility that my body fat was a little off today due to dehydration or other things that can cause inaccurate results. However I did reach both of my goals.

Here are the before and after pictures that I took!

I plan on keeping up with the intensity of our workouts! I will be getting my Body Fat done later today, I will add it to this post later.

Here are some pics from Jeans I have had for the past few years, the Capris I haven't worn for a while but I used to wear them all the time about 3 years ago. The jeans were jeans I was wearing this summer after I had Tioni.


Starting weight: 175 (gained 1lb last week possibly just from moving stress)

1/23

Today went really good. I did really well on my diet! Workouts were great this morning I did Legs, Arms and abs and tried to really push the weight and reps. This afternoon we did a circuit called "the gauntlet" It was a HIIT type workout that included, jump rope, lateral jumps, Mountain climbers and a few other things. Each one 30-45 seconds and then a 30-45 second break. We went through that 5 times and then we did Ladders and sprints on the basketball court. It was really intense but definitely worth it!

Wow it has been awhile, we moved from our apartment into a house on Saturday, last week I was busy doing that, I worked out really hard, but needed to be better on my diet. I am not sure if it was stress related but I was up about a pound up from where I was last week. This week I am going to kill it.

Yesterday 1/21 I lifted legs and arms in the morning with 30 min Cardio, and 45 min HIIT Cardio in the evening. I was super busy during the day over at our apartment trying to clean, I didn't really eat until in the evening and only had about 1000 calories.

Today- I did Chest, back and shoulders today. I intended to go to spin this evening at 5:30, but conflicts with work and babysitting made me unable to go. I should have gone in this evening, but I have so much to do and I really feel that I accomplished a lot including making some of the meals for the week.

Total calories burned: 475

This week went pretty good! Workouts were awesome and much more intense then they had been in the past. I have started doing some jump rope circuits with Todd which really kick my butt!!!  Diet wise I also feel I did really good this week. I was under my calories everyday this week except my free day. I know I can always improve but I feel good about what I accomplished this week. 2 weeks left for the Challenge with Taysha!. Here is a rundown of this week:


Monday: Total Calories burned: 1250

This week I want to keep the workouts the same intensity. I will follow my diet even though we are moving and things will be crazy!

Starting weight: 177.6
Ending weight: 174.6  
Total weight loss:-3 lbs!!!

Honestly this week has been a little rough on the emotional level. I had someone ask me how I felt about myself and what I had accomplished. I know I have accomplished a lot and I have totally physically changed from the person I was. However I realized I need to work more at feeling better about myself. I don't know if that makes sense but it is really different when you change from being a fat person to a fit person. Sometimes I still feel like I am that fat person I used to be, I am not where I want to be and number wise I still am considered obese but I have changed my life. I have changed so many habits to make me a healthy person. I guess I just came to realize this week that weight loss is both a physical and emotional change. I have done really well with the physical aspects but I have yet to really tap into the emotional aspects of my weight and weight loss. One thing I do know is I don't want to feel like the fat kid the rest of my life. 

So for those of you who don't know me or haven't known me very long here are some of my change pictures over the last few years (I don't have a lot of pictures of me for obvious reasons so these are what I have). Or you can read more about me by clicking here A little history.

New Years Resolutions!

A NEW YEAR AND A NEW ME!

So currently my weight is: 180.4
           I have a hard time saying I want to be a specific weight, so this is something I am going to take month by month. By Feb 1st I want to be 170!

Currently Body Fat is 28.4%
          Goal Achieve 15% to 18%!

My Selfish Goal: Look good in a bikini!
                   I am not one that has ever really wanted to wear one and I really feel a lot of women who wear them don't really rock them, But I want to rock it! (I already have a few of the raw materials others lack..) One of the things I always said is I really want one really good picture of my abs, so I want to feel comfortable enough with my self and my body to feel sexy in a bikini IN PUBLIC. (it is easy to feel that way in a dressing room but how many of us can feel that way in public, well I think that's a good goal that will really make me learn to love my body!)

Pull ups: I have yet to actually really do a pull up, But I will work on that this year! By the end of the year I want to be able to do Pull ups! (we will see how this goes)

I am going to commit now to work out 6 days a week and follow my weekly diet!

I really wanted to set up a few more goals so if you have any ideas let me know! It is great to have things I can document or track!
