I'm back and I have loads to say:) My recent struggle is still having an appetite for what is right instead of opting for what use to be my favorite foods (i.e. cheeseburgers, fries, chili dogs). I recently came across an AWESOME article in Shape.com that I had to share which has helped me stay focused. I love Shape.com because there is such a wealth of knowledge on the site that cater specifically to women. Check it out:
12 BEST POWER FOODS FOR WOMEN
So with my "new wealth of knowledge"I have been making sure to incorporate something from the list in every meal. I have been favoring red bell peppers lately. I simply chop a whole one and stir-fry that delicious sucker! That with brown rice and grilled chicken and I am good to go! It has literally became my go-to meal when I haven't got much creativity at that time. Hope you enjoy this article as much as I did:)

Weigh-in was a SUCCESS!!!
Let's get down to the nitty gritty. My stats:
July Breakdown
Starting Weight: 234 lbs
Body Fat Lost: 17.656 lbs
Inches lost: 9.25
Ending Weight: 225 lbs
I've said in my first post that my first goal is to get down to my high school weight. I weighed about 180 lbs and was active in soccer and just simply moved around more. Thanks to my trainer I am becoming much more stronger! Now it's time to take it up a notch. I will meet with my trainer for my usual 4x a week but will also add in an hour of cardio everyday. This means that I HAVE to create a schedule and I MUST stick to it. I need to create a bedtime that allows me to get my 8 hours of sleep. I will need to wake up earlier so that I have time to go to the gym here at my apartment community. Now that I know that I can commit to something that will have results I am mentally prepped for amping up for 110%!!
The greatest part of my weigh-in date I found out my results that day before my cousin's engagement party! The idea that I actually reached a positive point in my weight loss gave me so much confidence at the party. It truly was a fantastic event! I had the matrix backbend going on the whole time trying to squeeze people into pictures lol!! The abdominals were definately utilized. I can't wait to continue this journer and gain the results that I've wanted. Good luck to all those who are prepping for another week of committing to yourself!
