Texas Fit Chicks Bootcamp – Recap

by SkinnyCupcake Posted on May 21, 2013

I miss it!

I have to admit that I never thought I’ll say that… I MISS WORKING OUT!? That is kind  of awesome!! However, I haven’t been working out with them since last Wednesday. :-( I feel bad for not going, is like I let myself down. 

The starting period is a very crucial moment for me in terms of creating and staying (sticking) with a workout routine, and for that reason I feel bad and mad at myself for not going to workout. I’m trying really hard not to fall into the thinking well I missed 3 classes, what does it matter now. I might as well stop going all together. That is my mind laying the ground for me to feel “comfortable” to quit. 

BUT I WON’T!

Quitting would be something that the Old Me would do, and I’m working with the New Me to get rid off all the habits that drove me to gain most of my the weight back and I must stop it.

I’m looking forward to go this Wednesday and get back into the routine. I need to make the most of it and enjoy while it last. (Classes bought by Groupon, are about to end :-( ) The last two classes I went too I had a blast. At one point we made up to 100 burpees! 100 BURPEES!!! That’s a lot… It was a really fun and active class. I’m looking forward to have more classes like that… ♪♪♪ Sweat baby, sweat! ♪♪♪

Did I mention that I’m looking forward to my next day with the Texas Fit Chicks? LOL Let’s hope the weather cooperates (lately has been crazy here in Texas!!) and I’ll be there bright and early. See you there ladies! 

Follow my journey with the Texas Fit Chicks.

Scale Confessions – 5/19/13

by SkinnyCupcake Posted on May 19, 2013

Loosing little by little…

I can say that I had a successful weigh-in, but I didn’t celebrate it. Not because of the amount lost but because I’m scared that I’ll get comfortable and gain again. 

The truth is that I went a little extra this past week. I walked from my home to my work and back (2 miles) twice and last Sunday went for a long walk. On top of that I went to workout with the Texas Fit Chicks (although I only did it once this week :-( )  

so here is this week’s weigh-in:

◦ starting weight watchers weight: 228.6
◦ starting weekly weigh-in: 231
◦ previous weight: 232.4
◦ current weight: 229.4
◦ weight loss/gain: +.8

Scale Confessions Week 6

Confession

As I mentioned above, I lost some weight but I’m too afraid to celebrate. I don’t want to go next week and see the scale go up. But I guess that if I do what I did last week I know I’ll be OK. Let’s see how it goes this week!

How did it go for you this weigh-in??

Talk to you soon!

Eat less, Move More, Pretty Simple Right?

by SkinnyCupcake Posted on May 15, 2013

NOT…

If it were that simple there would be less overweight people. It is also true that once you get into the habit to do so, eat less, move more, it becomes second nature. But how do you get there? When does this happen? How does it happen?

Well the answer is different for everyone. Some people one day wake up and decide “that’s it. I’m tired of being fat. I’m losing weight”. For others is a picture what does the trick. For me, back in 2006, was the fact that I couldn’t fit into the airplane sit and a picture, it was embarrassing. 

That resonated in me. Then the Weight Watchers program was the tool for me to get into a healthier place. Back then the program clicked. I was determined to not be overweight anymore. I ate less and move more, way more. I worked out 5 to 6 times a week even when I didn’t feel like it, there I was at the gym working out. Then life happened, or more realistically I LET IT HAPPENED one heartbreak at a time. Friends, boys…

Fast forward seven years and I’m trying to find my way back to the “Eat less, move more Ave.” I’ve missed that exit so many times. I’ve gone in that “car” drove there and then, puff I’m lost and back to my couch. Then again, I get up and go back to try to find that place. I’ve tried so many times and I always end up at the same place… my couch. 

BUT, I’M NOT GIVING UP

The road to weight loss it is full of twists and turns. Stay focused and you'll reach the destination.
The road to weight loss it is full of twists and turns. Stay focused and you’ll reach the destination.

Because that means that I’ve gave up on myself and I’m not going to do that. Once again I’m trying to find that place, but this time I’m equipped. I have a GPS and the only route that it is programmed is from “Today Me” to “Eat less, move more Ave.”

It will take time to get there – you know I’m not as young as I used to be :-P -, but I know that once I’m there I’m going to work hard to stay there. This time there will be NO friends, boys or heartbreak that stops me. Things happen and I know that those things might delay my arrival, but as long as I don’t give up or stop my journey, I WILL accomplish my goals to…

be healthy, happy and an inspiration to others.
