Gorilla Heart Health Study - Cincinnati Zoo

I’m on a journey to my dream body

some women would kill to have that “Victoria Secret Body”

well that is my goal, and I’m going to use this blog to track my workouts and progress

I’m also going to post inspiration photos (only VS angels)

motivation quotes and workout tips

my goal is not only physical perfection but the understanding

that you can do anything you put your mind to

I believe I can accomplish this and so I will

follow me on my journey xoxo Cyn

I slept in today, which is unusual for me. I feel really good - partially from working out hard yesterday! I’m going to the gym today, but I’m not sure what I should do… any ideas? I already ran some laps today. :)

How’s everyone’s day going so far? What is everyone doing to be fit today?

I’m planning on starting a Progress Blog where I’ll post pictures and some reviews on my work outs and things I eat and some ongoing measurements and whatnot now that I’m almost ready to start my P90X training.

It’s going to be password protected so my“”half-naked”“ self won’t be at too much of a public-display.

[I will also be posting a link in a few minutes to my new fitness blog]

But it is a FITSPO-type blog, so if you’re interested in getting healthy or toned[like I’m gunning for] or just wanna show me some support [which I will GREATLY appreciate] just send me a message in my ask box and I’ll inbox you the password :)

I start p90x as soon as I can get a pair of resistance bands, just so you know. Which could be as soon as this weekend.

Here’s a link to my ask:http://andtheworldwaswell.tumblr.com/ask

and if you know of anyone that is a fitness blog or that likes following fitness blogs let them know about me, or let me know about them.

Thanks you guys, I love you all :)

“In San Diego, a physician named Douglas Richman knew something odd was happening even before the first report in 1981. He found himself treating sick gay men but couldn’t figure out what was wrong with them.”

Progress

June 16, 2011

So I haven’t posted in a couple of days because I have been very busy working two jobs, and also feeling pretty sick. Thus, almost no working out. I have, however, been eating right and weighing myself; also, I’ve been doing crunches, too. I’ll update that.

Because I’ve been feeling sick I haven’t been eating much beyond oatmeal and this stew that my fiance and I make, so when I weighed myself this morning I was at 158.5 lbs. I refuse to count that, because I know it’s going to go back up before Friday. But it definitely felt good to see such a low number. That means I’d lose 4 lbs in as many days. I’d feel worse about that if I had done it on purpose and had I not been drinking tons of water and green tea. So I know it wasn’t water weight. It was just a combo of me working a lot and eating not much [although healthily]. So there.

Anyway, looking forward to tomorrow. No work, just a birthday party and I’m making dinner for my mom. Other than that, I’m going to basically exercise all day. Got to make up for the days off.

FUCKING YES!!!!!!! ^-^ My weight is now down to 95 pounds (with my jean shorts and tank top and jewelry and a full stomach lol)

for the past few days my weight has been switching between 96 to 97 to 98 back to 96.5 to 97 and so on (depending on what I was wearing as well). Never hitting 95. Now I’m “fully” clothed (fully’s in “”s cuz I don’t consider a tank top and shorts fully clothed lol).

But yeah I’m happy I an now 95 pounds :))))))

….But I still look fucking huge when I turn sideways in the mirror. I look like a hippo. And my cousin was saying how skinny I’ve gotten. I guess I have from how I used to look but she was saying how super skinny I am now. I went in the bathroom and I looked HUGEEEEEEEEE, I look bigger than before. WTF T_T

gah stomach, will like half of you just fall off or something. :/

concerns about a progress blog

1. Being judged - The reason why I have all these issues with my body in the first place are because I’m constantly judging myself. There’s always something wrong when I look in the mirror. But weight loss is the first step towards changing what I can. Call me crazy, but losing weight has/is making a dramatic impact on my self esteem, even if it is driving me nuts in the process. My concern is that there will always be someone to judge me. Maybe I shouldn’t care, but uh, well, I do. I believe in the support of the Tumblr community, that’s why I started this blog in the first place, but there will always be an inkling of fear in the back of my head that I will be judged. And for a number of reasons. 

2. Being found - If someone managed to recognize who I was, well I’m not entirely sure what I would do. One of the best things about this blog is that I’m able to maintain anonymity and still express myself AND be supported, get feedback, etc. I mean, I guess there’s a reason why I started this and choose to remain anonymous, it’s not like I can talk to my friends about this. If anyone found out, I would be devastated. 

So maybe a prog-blog isn’t for the best :/ 

yay

Weighed-in at 153. But nothing’s official yet, I only track my weight on Fridays.

day 12: 6/10/11

i feel like i’m doing this entirely the wrong way.

i’ll stop myself from eating granola bars, but feel like i’m doing just fine when i down dinner rolls. what is wrong with me?

no breakfast today. lunch at chipotle. i swore i’d split it into two meals, then i didn’t. i was so close to trying to purge, which i’ve only done successfully once (it took an hour). but, i didn’t. we ate dinner out too, at a steakhouse. i had salmon which had a surprisingly low calorie count, just about 200. 

still too high though. 

i keep saying i’m going to start fasting again, but i don’t see how i will this weekend. 

i will fast monday. you guys have to MAKE ME FAST on monday. send me messages. text me. call me. email me. ANYTHING. i need it. i’m headed downhill and i just keep gaining and i’m scared to step on the scale.

Good day so far!

Breakfast: small peice of toast (GF) with a tablespoon of peanut butter, coffee

Lunch: 1/2 cup of yogurt with strawberries, blueberries and a banana, Tazo Passion Herbal Tea

Snack: Rice crackers with a bit of gouda cheese and 1/8 cup of pine nuts, coffee

Total: about 600 calories ( Allowing 250 for dinner)

I didn’t do my full 20min of cardio again… it’s literally 100 degress in New Jersey and I can barely breathe as it is. Although I did have time to read a book, which is exercise for the mind… ha. 

Started my Tuesday workout, but I don’t have hand weights :/

Does anyone know a good homemade substitute?
