Well friends, when I started this blog I said it was going to be for weight loss and Costa Rica adventures. Funny thing about life is it's always changing.
Weight loss is happening!! I've lost 10 pounds to date. WHOO! Some weeks I'd only lose 1 pound and I would be really upset thinking that for as much as I'm working my butt off I should be dropping like they do on Biggest Loser. But then I've recently took into consideration this:
&& It's true. People don't lose 20, 40, 80 lbs etc all in a whack. So I have really taken that to heart. I feel very proud of those 10 pounds gone. I will post pictures eventually, because I find those very inspiring. Pictures like the one above really keep me in check, and I find those at Pinterest. http://pinterest.com/baileywheeler/
As far as some of the things I have been doing to shed the weight has been : walk/run, elliptical with high incline and medium resistance <3, jump roping, KICKBOXING which I love ( I HIGHLY encourage people to take advantage of classes, it's a great change up and don't feel nervous about being in there. No one really cares if you can do all the moves or only half), some Zumba, etc. Shoutout: Ramona Wilkins Peters is a boss instructor, for anybody in the Arkadelphia area. I think she also does bootcamps in Delight and Prescott as well, which are amazing. I really try to keep it busy and changed up so I know my body isn't getting too used to anything.
The eating has not been too difficult. I do the new Weight Watchers and the fruit is 0 points so its caused me to change my snacking habits completely. I live in a dorm so I always made the excuse that I couldn't eat healthy because I couldn't cook healthy. Lies/excuses. There are plenty of beans, meats, veggies, fruits, and things that you can buy. I've also taken a liking to dipping strawberries in low fat pudding for a sweet treat.
Now Costa Rica.... not happening. At least not this summer, we've pushed it to December. Luckily, it's really been a blessing because the previous dates would have conflicted with our new plans which are: SEEING DAVE MATTHEWS BAND AND RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS IN GULF SHORES DURING MY BIRTHDAY!!!
Oh yes, and Jack White, Cage the Elephant and some other people will be there too. I have been so excited since my mom called me at 9:30 am to wake me up and let me know she bought the tickets lol. So I am VERY thankful things worked out the way they did!
