3 week update

It's been about 3 weeks since I completely changed my diet and exercise.  My diet has been much better and easier than I thought.  However, I still struggle when I go to Chris's house because all he wants to eat is pizza and his mom makes cake every other day.  At least my will power is getting stronger!

As far as exercise, I have been making it to the gym every day and running each morning.  I'm going to purchase a spin bike in the near future because running every morning is hard on my legs.  I'm currently fighting shin splints so low impact cardio would be much better!

 This is the bike I'm going to get.  I love that it has Google maps and I can ride anywhere I want!

I also discovered that I hate the taste of protein powder mixed with milk or water.  I decided to try About Time's pumpkin spice protein, so we will see how that goes.  I love that it has no carbs and is all natural.  I've been struggling to find a protein powder that I actually like.  Most make me sick to my stomach.

Here's an update picture from when I started to now.  Not much of a change quite yet but I feel much better!  I've been wearing my Zensah compression sleeves for my shin splints.  They help so much.

On Wednesday I took my board exam for physical therapy.  Super hard and I had a migraine during the test.  But at least it's over.  I have to wait until next week to find out how I did.  My friend and I decided to celebrate after by getting coffee and Mrs Field's.  But now I'm back on track and ready to lose more weight!

Fell off the Fitness Wagon

So I fell of the wagon. Who hasn't?
The holidays were great, but horrible for my diet. 

Now my brother's wedding is about 11 weeks away and I'm the heaviest I've ever weighed.
Time to buckle down. I have a brand new diet/workout plan that I've been sticking to since I started on Sunday.  

I'm more sore than I ever have been in my life haha. But I'm sticking to it. 
I won't be the biggest bridesmaid. I just won't. I can't.

So join me in my transformation. I'm also doing the Advocare 24 day challenge and offering prizes!!!! to anyone who joins! Email me for details about the challenge -->ahuebner06@gmail.com

I'm hoping to lose 20 pounds by the wedding April 4. 
I started Sunday and so far I've lost 4 pounds. 

I am NOT allowed to get discouraged! I must give myself at least 6 weeks before I really start to see/feel a difference. 

Today I woke up feeling extremely unmotivated. I didn't even want to walk down the stairs to my treadmill.
But I put on my fun Nike Pros and exercised anyway. 

Because that's when it's most important.

I can't wait until this is my "before" photo
