#bbg progress

Just when I was starting to lose hope, progress pictures come in for the win. Not a drastic amount of difference, but I certainly see it. I've actually been laying off BBG workouts for about two months now and focusing on spin with added weights & medicine ball work. Goal is to keep on slimming down so I can begin to work on tone in the coming months. Let's do this 💪🏼

I promised myself I wouldn't go to Red Robin this week. I'm so, so close to onederland and I want to get there so bad! But, shit happens. I went to happy hour last night with my friend and we split nachos and drank a glass of wine. Ok, I had two glasses of wine. Then when I got home, I was still hungry, so I whipped up a box of Annie's mac and cheese for me and my boo. Not my finest day. I went to bed feeling bloated, a little gross, and slightly disappointed in myself. Before I fell asleep, I was looking through some old photos and found this one (left). My jaw dropped. Damn y'all! Look how far I've come! The photo on the left was taken on my 23rd birthday, May 2015. The right is today. I love these side-by-side because they remind me that bad days are just a drop in the bucket compared to my journey overall. I have come SO FAR, not only with the numbers on the scale but with my relationship to food and exercise and my confidence in myself and my body. Feels so good 💪🏻 So even though today I'm having a bad hair day, even though my skin is breaking out like crazy, even though I had a cheat day yesterday, I feel super motivated to power through! And so good about myself and my progress! Today my coworker asked if I was "still trying to lose weight" because I look "so skinny" - of course I said yes. I don't talk about my weight loss at work that much because 1- everyone does and it's kind of annoying, and 2- this has always been a hard thing for me to deal with. So when someone notices and says something, I know I really must be working hard. I'm on track with my points today, got a free salad for lunch 🙌🏻, and am mentally prepared to have my ass handed to me at the gym tonight. Dinner is zoodles and ground turkey. I've got breakfast and lunch prepped for the last two days of this week. Nothing can stop me, y'all! Hope everyone is having a good hump day and a positive week. Remember: the scale is only a small fraction of your journey. There are so many things to celebrate along the way. 🤗

My 9 week transformation using @kaylaitsines BBG guide 1! I am not at my goal yet but so proud of what I have done- onto week 10 tomorrow Message me if you want to start this today or have any questions @fitforthesummer

BBG Week 8 legs killed me today. Like literally had to take a break every 10 jump lunges because my legs were burning like fiiiiirreeee. But then I thought about my legs while wearing a bikini at the beach this summer and I was like ehhh fine dis is fine 😂

I guess all I can do is keep on keepin’ on. Keep going to the gym, keep running, keep drinking water, keep making lunch at home, only drink (in moderation) on the weekends. Make sacrifices. Progress will come.

Wow, I really wasn't expecting this today! After a week of being more or less stuck inside, plus my monthly visitor (🙄), I wasn't expecting to lose much weight this week. Even though I was home every day, I was soooo good about sticking to my points and getting my workout in. 206.6 today and I can't believe it. This is the lightest I've been since... junior of senior year of college? And the lightest since I started on my weight loss journey a year ago. I feel like a million bucks! I credit this loss to sticking to my points, staying hydrated, and getting plenty of sleep. I've had barely any work stress going on this week and I think that's helped too! The snow here should start melting tomorrow. As much as I'll miss our pretty blanket of white, I'll be glad to get back into my walking routine and be able to safely run errands on foot!

i’m going into my third week of BBG 2.0 workouts (did week 15 legs today), and i’m already starting to see results. feeling them? not necessarily, because i still feel like i’m dying after nearly every workout. but my legs are starting to look leaner, my waist is already starting to trim down just the slightest bit. using every bit of inspiration i can to keep going! despite the fact that i feel exhausted just thinking about one of those workouts. my birthday is just under a month away, so here’s to ringing in 27 feeling and looking healthy AF.
