Breaking up with the scale

Its FRIDAY heyyyyyyyy!!!!!! Today is weigh in measurmet day for me I move it to this day because I know the weekend is coming and I would like to indulge a little. I was stocked for this one because I upped my workouts had no cheats not even a little. Slap in the face came in the form of the scale telling me I had gained 2LBS since last week. I was appaled really wanted to throw the damn thing out the window. I measure myself as well so that I can keep track of how my body is changing in which this week I had a win I lost .75 in the waist and .5 in the neck. I do see progress coming my thighs are gaining little by little do to my running/walking that I do not mad at all. The second win came when I wanted to wear my new green cargo pants from Nordstrom I had bought them awhile ago in a juniors size 13. I was slightly nervous thinking I may need to wear a fat sucker so I dont have muffin top spillage to my surprise I had to wear a belt with them because they were loose. So screw you scale progress is coming but on my terms. I usually woul have binged on a venti coffee and cookies not today. So to all you in the struggle dont measure wins just by the scale and dont bound yourself to it. I used to look everyday but now I am once a week. I will keep my same routine and try to get advice as to why I am not winning in the numbers dept. 

On another note its Happy Hour Friday!!! Cant wait to see the girls later for margaritas, habanero guacomole, and chicken taquitos. Hope everyone has a fab weekend!!!

Day 8 inspiration

I am on day 8 of the #bodybyvichallenge and it seems to be going well. I have taken a set of photos to compare once I reach day 90. Peirodically I have been taking photos to document how far I have come because pictures say it all the scale is only their to help out. So again I do two shakes and one meal along with two snacks through out the day. I also only drink water and add unsweetend almond milk to my shakes. I also work out 5-6 days a week for one hour. This past week I have been working out twice a day once in the AM (5AM to be exact) and now I have started in the evening (7PM). Back in January I began walking as a way to excercise on a dime didnt want to commit to a gym. It also was a stress reliever because I walk with one of my cousins and we would give daily advice on everything to eachother. As I am approaching 30 in a little over a month I needed to step up my workouts at the gym so I had cut out the morning walk and extended time at the gym. Since I love my cousin so much she told me walking by herself sucked so I said when do you walk and she said at night so I had a light bulb go off lets add another workout in. So on Monday I purchased http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=18046766 to add in time with the kids and a walk. I have to say the jogging stroller is amazin very easy to maneuver best part the fold down just pull up on the middle of the seat and its folded. I could do it with one hand if I tried.

I take daily pictures of myself, something I am eating, random things to remind me what day I am on and to motivate. I try to find little inspirations in everything so that I know their is a purpose in trying hard. I am what you would call a quick person if I dont see results right away I stop doing it. This is a push to myself to follow through stick with the program. So I hope I gave you a good idea of things. My last word is if you are looking for cool or fun workout routines #pinterest is the way to go I found a good one and it made the gym visit feel rather short.

Day 7

I have now been on the #bodybyvichallenge for seven days. It has been pretty straight forward with two shakes a day and one meal along with two snacks. I have the shakes for breakfast and dinner they are really tasty the batter smells/tastes like confettin cake mix. I plan to do the whole 90 to lose the last 13# which have hung on since my first son. I am down 2.4lbs since I started weighins are on Fridays right before the weekend. I take a daily photo so that I have accountability of where my journey is going.
