Summer Start

Today I did 5 videos:

1. How To Get Flat Abs in 3 Minutes 
2. Extreme Muffin Top Crushing WO 
3. Extreme Abs WO 2 
4. Abs In A Flash! 
5. Swimsuit Slimdown - 8 Minutes 

My core is my ultimate enemy. I'm sure with many girls the core is the hardest part to train. Today I felt very beat down because I was already shaking through the first video. I can easily say I did not give it my all in these core videos. I did for the first two, but the Extreme Abs WO 2 was horrible. My legs wouldn't stay straight and I was just shaking all over. I honestly felt defeated. 

For the fourth video, it was short and sweet so I felt better and tried my best to do every move. I ended up feeling a bit guilty for not giving my all so I threw in the fifth video. I liked that last one because it worked out 4 different areas rather than concentrating on one. 

Tomorrow I'm planning on doing my normal treadmill workout at the gym then squats/lunges, throw in some burpees and i'll try to think of something else. 

Let's keep at it. 

Long Time, No Blog

Hello everyone!

The year is 2015 and ever since I was accepted into Nursing school, I have not been dedicated to a fit life. My last post was at the end of 2013 when I was very into my fitness journey and exercised quite regularly. The first semester of nursing school came along and I lost all of my progress and determination to live a fit life. That was one full year of eating unhealthy, rarely ever doing any exercising, and just giving myself excuse after excuse as to why I can't exercise that day.

I'm back and I am dedicated to living a fit life and continuing my fitness journey.

What changed? -- I started going to counseling because of the increased stress in my life. After realizing that the way I looked was constantly effecting the way I feel about myself, I needed to change this. I am still working on myself.

During my third semester of nursing school, I had my very good nursing friend exercise with me at the school gym. I feel very good at how often we went and began to see slight progress. It is now Summer time and I was to dedicate this summer to strengthening not only my body but also my mind. I need to know that I can do this. I need to push myself and prove to myself that I can do this. So many other people have Transformation Tuesdays to post on their Instagram pages. I need to post one of my own.

By the end of the summer I am hoping to lose 10 pounds. I have 3 months to lose 10 pounds. I am not quite sure if that is a realistic goal but I just know this is something I am striving for. I would like to begin by cooking for myself, if possible as well as exercising at least 3-5 times a week.

I will and I can do this.
Amen.
