progress!
Pretty sure I’ve lost a pound or two - not weighing in at 146 anymore - usually more like 144 or so. Also pretty sure I’ve gained some muscle, especially in my legs. jump squats for the win! I just really want to be healthy and fit, so as long as I’m eating wholesome awesome food and giving my body the exercise it wants, I’m happy!
I’ve made a conscious decision to push HARD at the gym, and I can’t wait to see how this will affect me in a few weeks!

even though I was exhausted all day, took a nap from 6-8:30 PM, and didn’t get to the gym until 9 PM….
I still hit it hard at the gym.
kept it simple (HA!) today with some floor work - weighted burpees, jump squats, planks, mountain climbers, & pushups. warmed up with a 1.5 mile run.

Homemade Chinese Chicken Salad - CLEAN STYLE!
Used shirataki noodles instead of regular ones, and added some toasted crumbled seaweed on top for the crunch that the wontons would usually provide.
Success all the way around!
YUM!
Ingredients:
bok choy, chopped
romaine lettuce, chopped
cabbage, chopped (this was not in mine because I didn’t have any…)
shredded baked chicken
shirataki noodles
sesame-rice vinegar dressing (seasoned rice vinegar, sesame seed oil, olive oil, honey, organic soy sauce, ground pepper, salt)

The new fitness kicks. Nike Dual Fusion in royal blue/hot pink
Took them for a spin this afternoon. They’re like running on clouds!
I’ve never owned nice running shoes, and now I can see I’ve seriously been missing out!

healthy eating isn’t that expensive if you’re smart and willing to put in the time to cook!
it cost my husband and I $55 to buy everything in that cart PLUS not pictured - about 5 bags of frozen fruit and some other vegetables that i couldn’t fit in the picture. we bought ZERO ‘processed foods’ with odd ingredients!
tons of fruit, vegetables…yay! clean eating!
time to get cooking!

that’s IT.
Husband and I just bought a new (ACCURATE) scale along with calipers so we can figure out our actual body fat percentage.
and it’s not good my friends. it’s not good.
So this is me saying that starting RIGHT NOW, Operation GET FIT is commencing!!
STATS:
Height: 5’6”
Weight: 143 lbs.
Body Fat Percentage: 34-35%
THE GOAL:
To get that percentage down to a healthy range! 20-25%!
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
