It’s been awhile, I know. 

I’ve started up weight-loss again after a massive gain last semester. I started a new blog, and you can find me over here:

I felt like the ‘bikini time’ chapter of my life has come to a close. I’m no longer working towards those goals anymore. I wanted to be thin and hott in a bathing suit, but I wanted to do it the healthy way. 

Now I have no “end date” in sight. I want to make a permanent change to my lifestyle, so I started a new blog and I post a bit of different things. I’m not as active over there as I was here, but that’s because I’m working ~50 hours a week. 

So if you’re interested in following me again, you can find me there! And I will officially say goodbye to this blog! Thank you for all the support you gave me last year, it really meant a lot, and my goals would have been a LOT harder to achieve had I not had this wonderful community supporting me.

Please, someone, correct me if I am wrong… But there isn’t any amount of exercise that you can do to change the general SHAPE of your waist. If you were born with an hourglass figure, your waist will naturally be that way when you lose weight, right? Your breasts and hips will be wider than your waist… Right? I’m not stupid for thinking this, right? (Let me say RIGHT like 15 more times.) 

If you were born with short legs, a short waist, and broad shoulders… You aren’t going to look like the girl in that photo, no matter how long you arch your back and suck in for… RIGHT? 

I just want to pull my hair out when dealing with some of the stupid, misinformed shit people post on pinterest. 

But I hate listening to one of my best friends talk about her weight-loss. She just sounds so smart and smug about it, but she’s hardly done any research and just listens to ONE person about what she should be doing as far as losing weight… When she took zero advice from me when I lost a lot of weight over the last 6 months, and whenever I try to negate anything she says she gets super bitchy about it and treats me like I don’t know what I’m talking about.

So for now I mostly just say “yeah.” in response to everything she has to say, since my opinion obviously doesn’t matter. 

Everything came back A-Ok! I’m so happy. It was a build up of extra cells/tissue that caused the lump in my breast. I can’t tell you how nervous I was. I actually cried a few times to myself while I was there because I was so nervous/scared, plus I was there for like 3 hours by myself. 

But now I just know that I need to lower my caffeine intake and supplement some vitamin E and everything should go well from there! Thanks for your support, guys. You da best!

words of encouragement are greatly appreciated. i’m definitely re-thinking telling my mom she should stay home for this. i wish she were here to go with me, now i have to go alone. ugh. 

I am not as sore as I thought I would be today from that class last night. Next week I’m going to try for heavier weights and see if that doesn’t help me a bit. 

What hurts worst is my poor butt, from the seat, hahaha, which I was warned about, and then my legs from the spinning itself and the leg workout we did afterwards. I want to feel sore in my abs, in my arms and shoulders… So when I start my workout full-time, that’s where it’ll be at. Fo. Sho.

Not of the same epic proportions I had last semester. I love my roommates! They are 3 gorgeous, fun and generally happy girls (granted we’ve only lived together about a month, so we’ll see how it goes, but I’m trying to be optimistic here!). We have a pretty good time together, although I’ve been spending way more time with my boyfriend than with them because… Well, I’m in love with him and we don’t really know where our relationship is gonna go when I move, so we’re enjoying the time we have together now, but that’s besides the point.

They eat like shit.

Constantly.

And it’s difficult on me.

One of my roommates has had a series of boy troubles, and her solution is baking. Usually she’ll bake something super-bad, we’ll all partake in one or two portions and then she gives the rest to our neighbors (boys we know from high school, who gladly take the sweets off our hands). But they also go out to eat or get fast food often, and snack on candy while watching tv every night. 

They all told me last semester, back when my progress was this:

That they couldn’t wait to live with me because I would inspire them to work out and eat healthy… And I do eat healthy and work out, but it isn’t doing anything to inspire them to do the same, and then they just parade their junk food all over the place. Weiwhaoeihwaoihe.

I know that stuff isn’t good for me, but I spent my summer weening myself back onto it. I just need to get back to the place I was at when eating that stuff made me feel like shit. 

The class I went to was called “Spin and Sculpt” … It was 30 minutes of spin in one studio, and then we took a short break and moved to another for a 30 minute body sculpting session. 

My entire body is jelly. I had serious issues getting up the 3 flights of stairs to my apartment, hahahaha.

As expected, it kicked my ass, but I can’t wait to go again next week! 

Kinda nervous! We’ll see how it goes. I have a feeling it’s gonna go something along the lines of “Kicking Kim’s ass.”

I’m also going to take new “before” shots, because I’ve gained quite a bit of weight back/lost a lot of toning… I keep saying I’m going to re-start and this time I’m actually going to DO it. aopwjepawjeaw
