The Meltdown - My Weight Loss Journey

I knew I weighed more than I wanted to and was a little overweight. But then I went to the doctors where I received a receipt with a warning about my BMI and the fact that I was overweight. It suggested I should start losing weight and even offered some tips. I was shocked and embarrassed. Even worse, I'm pretty positive that my fiance, then boyfriend, had definitely read it before me, because I hadn't looked at it right away. I can feel the blood rushing to my face now just thinking about it. I knew then that I had to do something, but did I? No of course not, like the procrastinator I am I pushed it off. Then I got engaged... this is serious now, I must lose weight. 

This bitch needs to move! 

Currently I weigh 138 pounds. My goal is to lose 25 to 30 pounds by February 1, 2020 and then to maintain that weight until my wedding day on March 28, 2020. 

I joined Crunch Fitness, and have already taken a few classes. I've also began to eat better. Since I've joined the gym I've lost about 2 pounds which makes me feel great about myself, but I still have a long way to go. Crunch offers an array of classes, which is why I wanted join this gym. Honestly, I'm so confused about what to do with the workout equipment within the gym and don't know what exercises to do without looking at my phone that I feel like an idiot. That's why I love taking classes, they provide you the instruction and it's super easy to follow along. Sure I look like a hot pink oompa loompa while doing them, but there will come a time when I don't! 

I signed up for the Peak membership at Crunch, which gives me access to all 22 classes they offer and live video workouts through their app. I plan on trying all of the classes they offer and then creating a schedule that works for me of the classes I like best. I also love that they have live workout videos on their app, so if I can't make it to the gym I can always get in a quick workout. 

I'm also focusing on eating healthier. I'm not calling it a diet, because I don't want to limit myself to what I can and cannot eat. If I want something sweet, I want to be able to have it without someone judging me and mentioning my diet. I'm trying to go for an overall lifestyle change, not just a temporary one.

 I'm probably one of the most unhealthy and pickiest eaters most of my friends know. This is the girl who wouldn't eat anything green until she was like 21.... it's a serious issue people! So my biggest challenge is going to be overcoming my pickiness. I'm hoping to expand my palate while trimming my waist!

Getting to the gym early.... Setting myself up for success

When I joined the gym, I knew I wanted to take classes in the morning before work. I alternate going in to work at 7:30 or 8:30 every week, so on days when I'm due in at 8:30 I thought it would be more productive to to the gym before work. I attempted this once or twice, but I failed. Well it's my 8:30 - 5 week, so I decided to give it another try. I'm naturally a morning person, but I definitely need my 8 hours of sleep. (I'm the type of person that sets one alarm and jumps out of bed as soon as it goes off.) Despite this, I was unable to get up for the gym at 5:30 when I first tried so I gave up. This weekend I was going over the class schedule and I decided I wanted to give it another go. The spin class I wanted to take was at 6, so I decided to set my alarm for 5:30. My plan was to be out of the house by 5:40, so that I could get to the gym with time to spare to put my stuff in a locker and go to the bathroom (once or twice; you'll come to realize I have th...

Orange Banana, Kale Smoothie Recipe

I've gotten back into the routine of starting my morning off right with a smoothie. My favorite breakfast smoothie is Orange Banana and Kale. It tastes delicious and gives me a good boost of energy for the day. Making smoothies also enables me to get more servings of fruits and veggies in, something that I struggle with. If you've never tried making a smoothie, or are afraid of the green like I once was; this one is a good place to start! I prefer smoothies over juicing because you get more fiber and it's more enjoyable to drink. I use my NutriBullet to make all my smoothies - I love it!  If you don't have a NutriBullet, you can use a blender to make your smoothie. Ingredients: 1 Orange  2 to 3 stalks of Kale. I don't include the full stem, just the top portion and leafy parts.  1 Banana - I wait for my bananas to get really ripe, then I slice them into 4's and place them in sandwich baggies in the freezer. You can always use a unfrozen bananas which I ...
