So as I said, I've been doing the Blogilates Beginner's Calender, and I am currently on Day 17. This is the longest that I've ever committed to a workout routine, and I am working out 6 days a week. If you aren't familiar with Blogilates, it's a workout/healthy living blog written by Cassey Ho who is a licensed Pilates instructor and she started the POP Pilates routines. I am currently in love with Pilates, and Cassey posts videos every week on YouTube with fresh workouts. I've been doing all the routines on her beginner's calender every day (approximately 25 minutes a day) and then I add extra workouts from her catalogue so I'm doing about 45 minutes to an hour of exercise. I would highly recommend these workouts for anyone trying to get in shape! I haven't lost any weight, but I am shrinking. It's totally weird that my scale says I haven't lost any weight, because I am seriously smaller than when I started this routine. I guess I'm just gaining a lot of muscle. I'm guessing that when I start eating better the pounds will start dropping like what.
And as far as the dieting bit goes, I'm not jumping on board with another fad diet. I'm done with that crap. There is nothing more obnoxious for me than some one, or something, dictating how often and what I will eat. It just restricts and frustrates in the end. And I'm not going to just go around counting all my calories either, it's a total pain in the arse when I'm trying to make a meal for my entire family. I love cooking, I love eating, and I'm not going to restrict myself anymore. I am going to start making healthier choices, and I'm going to start rewriting my favorite recipes to incorporate more healthy foods and less pre-processed crap. And to make this all a bit more fun, I've worked out a way to help motivate me in my eating healthy. I'm going to work on a cook book. I'll try to make at least 1 original, healthy recipe a week and then I'll record it in my cook book and I'll post it here. Probably be posting it on my other blog as well, but we'll see.
I am going to be changing this blog around a little. I'm going to kind of transform it into a fitness/beauty/lifestyle blog instead of just focusing on weight loss. I would ideally like to merge this blog with my other blog as I honestly just don't have that much to say about just makeup stuffs. I'm going to continue my weigh ins, but instead of doing them every week, I'll do them on the first of the month. And instead of just a weigh in, it will be a weigh in with measurements and a picture. And yeah, I'll be posting healthy recipes, workouts, and pretty well whatever else meets my fancy.
I'll do my weigh in and measurements later tonight or tomorrow, and then on the first of the month. Hope you're all having a nice evening!
