When I Started:
Aug, 2009
How I Started:
When I was in high school, I would sit and do crunches on the floor while watching the tube. I mostly started out of fear because much of my family on my mother's side are obese and have health complications as a result. But I've always been a bit of a tomboy and very active.
Why I Love It:
I like to feel the sweat and the pleasurable pain that comes from working out. It tells me that work is being done and my body loves it! I love the energy boost and result that follow :o)
How I Stay Motivated:
That's a hard one. It's always been a mental tug for me. As part of my new regimen, I really think about the other goals that I have and how they're dependent on my physique. I've made a promise to myself, which I state every time I feel myself wavering:
I promise myself to be strong so that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.
I look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.
I think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best.
I have forgotten the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
I give so much time to the improvement of myself that I have no time to criticize others.
I live in the faith that the whole world is on my side so long as I am true to the best that is in me!
Realizing and knowing that God is on my side also keeps me motivated!
Currently 22.23% Bodyfat. Want to see that number drop to 18% by my birthday which is on August 26th!
Goal (Long):
Currently I don't feel comfortable with my weight because I know that it's not where I'm meant to be. I've struggled to stick with a consistent program in the past, and following my college graduation I spent 2 months in Maui just working out and learning about my body. I really enjoyed the transformation, although I felt a bit too muscular. But I then decided to give up a job that I was due to start, and instead moved to NYC where I was met with extreme financial and health-related hardships, and due to my lack of finances I resulted to the cheapest foods---Mc Donalds, Harlem Fried Chicken, amongst others. As a result, the progress that I had made in Maui regressed, and I was back to feeling like somewhat of a blob.
Just recently I experienced the lowest vitality I will ever allow myself to feel again. I have several goals that are intertwined and dependent on my physique, so if I am to live the life I envision, I must lose the unnecessary weight.
I want a sleek athletic physique: 145lbs, about 14% body fat. I currently have a 10-week transformation program that I'm coaching myself through, but I want to be 145lbs by November 1st.
I can do this!!!!
