I'm not completely sure if there is anything called a fat detox ... I just decided that's what I will name my little program =) I decided I really need to start trimming excess fat off my body because I have not been working out lately. I have gained 5lbs since Thanksgiving! NO BUENO!! Perhaps my addiction to Mallomars is getting to the point that I need MA (Mallomar's Anonymous). YES, it's that serious. I ate an ENTIRE box within 24 hours. That's some 120 calories per serving and there are say 9 servings per box. You do the math. WHOOPSIES. It's ok, I have not had them in years so I felt it was appropriate. If you dont know what Mallomar's are, please don't ask me, I may have a heart attack because I am astonished by how many people do not know about the chocolatey goodness Mallomar's possess. OK, enough about Mallomar's. My goal is to trim. It's not necessarily about the number because if I tell you how much I weigh you won't believe me ;) My arms and abs are my target points and I plan to do something each day whether it be walking, running, zumba or some other aerobic class. I should have taken a picture of my stomach but I was slightly embarassed =/ I am pretty happy with my body being that I do have two children under the age of 4 so I will give myself a round of applause, BUT I am determined to feel comfortable in my own skin. I don't know about you but if there are more rolls on my stomach when I sit down than I can count on one hand, there may be an issue. I figured trying to document my process by taking pictures every week or so will help keep me motivated. Since not much will change in a month and I will get discouraged by the lack of results, taking pictures may motivate me because I will see some type of minor result (or so I hope). So feel free to offer any type of advice for the areas I mentioned which are my arms and abs. I could stand to loose some boobage as well but that should come along with just working out in general. My lack of exercise has contributed to the size and they are getting out of CONTROL. I included some pictures, so you may not want to look!
12.13.10 @ 145lbs =X
Not bad from the front view (sorry about my bathroom, I know it's a mess)
AAHHH It looks like I'm PREGNANT! Funny thing is ... I'm NOT.
I. MUST. FLATTEN. THEM. OUT. No room for people second guessing whether I'm expecting or not ;)
Well I hope you enjoyed laughing at me lol. Offering any type of advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Love,
:) I am proud of you, you don't look bad but I understand the whole wanting to feel good in your own skin! I would recommend only water and staying away from sugars as much as possible. I know you don't want to do the Challenge but I could send you the food guidelines for it. Perhaps I also will put up pictures of July 2010 to 1st day of the Challenge..HMpH.
ReplyDeleteAlexis, I honestly COMPLETELY understand where you are coming from. I love my children more than anything, but hate what it's done to my body :( booooo. My problem area is my stomach, unfortunately I think that no matter what I do, nothing will fix it except a tummy tuck. Great. Just what I wanted. I wish the best for you!! I'm sure with the determination and mind set, you will accomplish what you want!!! Good Luck =)
ReplyDeleteAw I just love you twooo... Brittney and Alexis you are two of the sweetest people I've ever met! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Avery and Britt =) It's just annoying is all lol my problem area is my stomach and it's not even bad unless I sit. It's just stretched skin which I'm afraid the only thing that will fix it is a tummy tuck BUT I will try to loose it. I was fine with my son but after my daughter, she just stretched my tummy out! I will never see a size 2 again =( I've gotten back to a size 6 fairly quickly but I dont think I can go any further thanks to my childbearing hips ;) OH the joys of babies lol.
