Weight update #5

It's been a while since I checked my weight, being busy and sick and having the procedure, I really didn't watch what I ate or bothered with walking anywhere. 

I was really dreading the idea of weighting my self and I avoided the scale like a scary disease LOL 

But the other day I got all my courage together and went for it, so here it goes. 

And this wasn't a measure that I took in the early morning after starving the whole night like usual, but I went for it in the middle of the day and still, 1 pound less from my latest update. 

 I'm honestly proud. 

I think my job plays a good part on it, as I walk up and down the cafeteria for 3 hours straight every day, 5 days per week. 

So, I'm doing something I like and gain a nice figure in the meanwhile....what else I could ask? 

Although is ONLY one pound and sometime I wish I was doing better, I have this picture to remind me that I'm on the right path! 

This is 1 pound of FAT! When you think that you ONLY lost 1 POUND, remind yourself of this picture because it's a great accomplishment!

I wouldn't want THAT up there still being on me!

Excercises for the thighs

I know it's time for a weight update, but truth to be told, I don't wanna stress myself checking my weight every week and such like a chore, but I promise to keep an eye on it and to share. 

Another area of my body that it's really bothering me is my thighs.....the fat and cellulite on it it's a massive quantity and I think it's also of my pear-shaped body type. I say this, because even when I was thinner, my legs are always been HUGE and I'm always been very self-conscious about them. After kids, even more so. 

 So, from all this, off I went in my quest for the best exercises for this part of my body when I stumbled upon this

  

I'm embarrassed to say that I've never hear of a inner thigh gap before and after a little bit of digging for info I realized with great mortification that it's because I NEVER had one. I should have known! My legs weren't only huge and fat, but they were different from all the other women's out there! Seriously, I wasn't never able to enjoy a skirt or a nice pair of shorts because the skin between my thighs would create friction and HURT.LIKE.HELL! 

 I know, I know. TMI. But if you're out there and have been plagued with my same problem, trust me my dear, you're not alone! 

Let's conquer that inner thighs gap together, shall we?? 

I know I have a looooooooooooong way to go, so only one set of exercises won't do it. So yesterday I entertained my thighs with the circuit above plus these: 

  

And these 

 

 and these

  

And when I was all done I tried this  

 Of course I couldn't finish it all and now I cry every time I have to go to the bathroom. 

But you get my point....I will conquer my inner thighs gap!!!! I WILL!!!!!!!!!

My weight

Some of my followers might remember that I while ago I started a journey about losing some of my weight as a New year resolution. 

For those that don't remember, here is that very first post, where I was complaining about being 140 lb. 

After seven week, I was able to report a slow process that helped me loose 2 lb, read it HERE. 

Then it happened that I had to move to another house, I started working and lots of other changes and suddenly my weight wasn't a priority anymore. I figured that I was being active and that I would get healthier and I stopped keeping track of my intake. 

So, 1 year and half later, I'm 148 lb. 

Nope, I'm no kidding. 

See for yourself. 

I feel very ashamed and also angry about it. I walked my kids to school every day and added another hour of walking, taken tap dance classes, introduced my self to running, swimming and weight lifting and drank all the water I could during the day.

But nonetheless, something went wrong somewhere.

I think the emotional roller coaster of Gabriel school situation played a role in my emotional eating, but I'm no kidding my self, this is not excuse.

Yes, I did put on some muscles on arms and legs, but the middle part of my body it's another story and it comes only and purely from eating.

Here you go, I present you my belly rolls and my fat ass

I took and posted these pictures just as a motivation for an "after" better looking ones

(But I also wanted to show off my totally cool purple sport bra lol)

It's time for some crunches and I'd love to post daily a list of exercise that I'm taking in the hope that someone out there is willing to share the burdens and joy of this journey with me while I reach my goal of 130 lb (BMI=24.6)
