stomach virus? no big deal!

So I've been having an issue with a weak stomach/ stomach virus since last week. I haven't been able to exercise properly since then and it has a bit frustrating.  I have, how ever been able to eat good.

I slipped back into eating not as healthy but staying within my calorie limit.  I switched back to eating clean and smaller portions. I feel better, and hopefully soon I will be well enough to get back into working out. I miss running and lifting.

But I am super close to my first private goal and my first over all goal!

And here's some food porn:

3 month arm progress. (photos)

I've always kicked myself in the ass for not recording progress of my arms in the past. I have always had insecurities about my arms, and really never cared about wearing tank tops in public. But I've been working really hard and I am extremely proud of my progress so far. I know I have posted some pics but I am uploading them again and today's picture for comparison.

lazy is not an excuse!

I feel really awful that I haven’t updated in so long. But life happens, and you lose track of your hard work. I am sad to say that I had to stop going to the gym due to the health problems of my husband.  I don’t like to make excuses when it comes to working out. After all the stress that came with the hub’s health problems, I’ve just grown lazy and did a lot of emotional eating.

The lowest weight that I got down to was 190, and as of today I am back to 198. I have been going through problems with severe food allergies. I wonder if it’s because I went back to eating some bad foods. My goal for now is to start eating as healthy as I can and to hopefully lose the weight I gained back by the end of September.

The first things to get rid of this time around? Red meat and m&ms. Ohhhh how I’ll miss those m&ms. lol

Another photo update.

A reader suggested that I document my progress from the gym more often that what I planned. Here it goes, here are some photos I took today. The lighting kinda sucks.

And here is a before picture just for comparison.

a little bit of nothing

so, i am trying to get online as much as i possibly can. and right now it's not that often. bummer. but things have been looking up even though at times it can be stressful. still haven't gotten around to getting that 20 dollar gym membership. my husband thinks it's more important to find jobs than work out. boo. 

 things will get better, things will be great. time to stay optimistic. if i can be patient to lose weight i can be patient for anything. i have a better outlook in life now. i am grateful for everything in my life.

p.s i have been taking alot of pictures of birds lately. got a great camera for xmas.
