New Year New Beginnings

Ok so in December I finally had gotten in a routine and was really workin my arms and stuff out. I was doing really good! I had my cardio and I was eating well, but then I went to St. George and when I came back I went snowboarding with Josh. I fell getting off the lift and heard it snap crackle and pop and hyperextended my right arm. We think I might've dislocated it, or over-stretched the tendons because I couldn't move it for 2 days. But then I flung it out and I heard a bunch of snaps and I could finally flex and extend it. But it still kinda hurt, so I rotated it and heard a HUGE snap and a quick sharp pain, but I could move it again!! Doing my hair and bearing weight still hurts, but it's getting better. Sadly, this incident screwed up my progress. I couldn't exercise at all and I was eating bad because I was stressed. Not to mention I had three cycles last months. Ya that ReaLLy threw me off too. But it's a new year and I'm ready for a new start! Not to mention, I've gotta get in shape for my wedding and my engagement pictures are gonna be in like 3-5 weeks. So I have to get serious now. But I can do it. I know I can. This is going to be intense, but I have to do it no matter what. I have to go try dresses on for the first time tonight and I'm dreading it because they're not going to fit. :( I'm trying my friend(Chelsea Nickell)'s Figure Building Plan... well my version of it anyways. She's in great shape and I'm very jealous. I've gotta change it for me because she's already skinny so hear diet plan is to maintain weight. I have to make mine a deficit. But here are my measurements:

January 4 2010
weight: 132.80 lbs
neck: 13 inches
bust (across nipples): 36
bicep (90*, no flex): 10.5
forearm (across bend line): 9.5
wrist: 6
above belly button: 32.5
at belly button: 34
below belly button: 35
smallest waist: 30
underwear line: 36
widest hips: 39
thigh: 23.75
calf: 14

I hoping to really change these numbers. And I want to be lean. I want to shed my jiggle. The jugs can change and I'd be very happy ;) but the pooch has gotta go! I don't want to bulk up, but I want to be toned. I'm going to create a deficit of 500 calories minimum each day. And I'm only going to consume foods on the Master List. Five days a week I'm going to do 30 min cardio and 30 strength training at the minimum. I'm going to try to hit the classes up at the gym as well. Oh and not to mention, I'm going to really work on my flexibility! I've gotta get it back. I'm so excited! The results are going to be so worth it. This is just the basics of the plan, but I have to get ready for class, so I'll post the Plan later on tonight. ToodLes!

Dec 18 2009

Ok so yesterday didn't go as well as planned. Well, maybe yesterday did, but not yesternight... I got home from the DATC and ate a bunch. And then after Josh went home I ate a bunch of Special K cereal. bLah. Oh well. I'm doing much much better today! Yesterday I ate about 1900 calories. I burned 367 cals by running 4 miles in about 45 minutes. I also played about 10 min on Wii Fit and 30 min on Wii Sports. My right shoulder is super sore. lol. Bowling... but hey i got pro! lol.
Today I'm doing marvelous!! I ran on the treadmill and then I went and did a lot of strength training. Hoorah! This was my routine:
Treadmill: 30 min - 6.0 - 300 cals
5 min - cooldown
20 min - 6.2 - 200 cals
5 min - cooldown

1:30 pm: I feel really good! I'm getting nice and sore and I have plenty of blisters. YaY! ok well maybe not for the blisters but for the soreness. Oh and one other bad thing.. I think I saw Justin working out... ugh. I wish he wasn't so bullheaded so we could talk. And I looked like crap today, but in a couple of months he'll be eating his foot. My eating has been great so far so I hope I can keep it up! And I'm gonna try and drink my water today. So far I've had about 30 oz. That's really really good for me. I'm also gonna try and stick to the no food after 7pm rule. Oh ya I almost forgot the Doc wants to try BC on me and says I might gain weight. Aaggh! No I will not! I'll make sure I don't. He froze off the bump on my elbow ( it kills!) and on Tuesday they're going to operate on my hemangioma.

Gettin' Started ... again

I just started the CNA program at the DATC on monday. I met a girl that is just the best. She is the girl that I've had in my mind as what I want to be. She's sicilian, 117 lbs, dark brown hair, and is getting ready to compete in figure building this coming April. She's following a similar diet plan to the one I kept trying to start. She works out at the gym for 2 hours five times a week. She is looking amazing. You can actually see the tonage in her arms. She says that her motivation is her fabulous abs. She has the willpower I need. She carries a milkjug full of water around with her all day and drinks one of them every day! Holy cow! It's absolutely amazing. I've actually been trying to at least get 64 oz a day and it's so hard. Lucky for her she has a boyfriend that's a bodybuilder and so they do it together. That would be so nice, but Josh spends his whole day working out at his job, and so he is exhausted when he gets home. And all that kid eats is chips, sugar and soda! But he still has a great shape and lots of muscle. It's so not fair!
But because of Chelsea and the fact that me and Josh got a Wii for Christmas I'm determined to lose weight again. I'm doing good. I've been eating healthier and I'm exercising more!!! I've lost about 1lb. This morning I went on a 4.5 mile run and did it in 45 minutes. For the past two days I've also done a few things on Wii Fit. It's not much but I really am gonna try and weight train a little because I miss my muscles. I really really want to lose weight so I have to do this! I've gotta stay motivated and I can't let myself cheat.
