i was getting really frustrated because i was doing amazingly well on everything and gained 3 pounds so this morning i was like- whatever- this is my last hope and got out my tape measurer and i guess ive been gaining muscle and still burning some fat off because i dropped some inches! my waist went from 31' to 29 1/2', my lower abs went from 38-40 to 36', my hips went from 41' to 38', and i don't think my thighs have changes much in the inches part but theyre a lot more firm. exersizing felt soooo good this morning that i did a taebo 1 hr. advanced tape and 20 minutes of sit-ups(really slow and muscle working), pushups, the plank position, crunches, reverse crunches(really good for the lower abs- where you lift your butt off the ground instead of shoulders) and twist- situps and a few belly dance moves. what i ate today is spinach( 5 grams fiber, 40 cal.), 1 boiled egg (70 cal. 6 grams protien)and some light miracle whip(30 cal). i feel so good right now! i am going back to upward bound this summer(it's an academic program where you live on a campus for 6 weeks each summer and learn more classes, sports ect.) and i want to look amazing for the people who haven't seen me all school year. and when i'm at upward bound i'm going to really crack down and look absolutely amazing and perfect for when i get back to school. *sigh* it's hard effprt but it's such a great feeling just to get up and do it and stop feeling bad for myself. GET UP AND CHANGE TO WHAT YOU WANT TO BE!!! this morning when i was doing taebo- billy blanks said in the video "you only got one bady, not 50 so treat it right" and i thought 'yeah- i do only have one body don't i? well then i'm going to change this one body into the body i want!'. i love it- billy's so motivating. taebo is the best workout ever. sorry for the long post- just wanted to share...
