Love is in the air!

Hello bloggies!

So, I've decided to not just make this blog about my fitness. I'll update about that, and just life. Since I'm getting a little better at this consistency thing why not, right?

So, I'm still LOVING turbofire. Love love love it. So amazing. It's hard, and I have had to push myself really hard, but I love it! I've decided to make myself do it in the morning, because I have a harder time making myself do it at night. I leave myself notes in the morning with consequences like no computer all day if I don't do it in the morning. It def is a motivator! My total weight loss for the first month was 6.2lbs. Can't wait to see what happens this month! :) Woop woop!

SO! This month love is def in the air! We're not too sure what we're doing for Valentine's day this year since we don't totally know the area. I told Bradley to just surprise me with whatever he wants to do! Last year on Valentine's day I was in a NyQuil coma with a 102 temp! :( It was sad! Hopefully this year I won't catch anything but the "love bug" (cheesy mc cheese pants over here.)
What's everyone else doing for Valentine's day?

I'm trying to figure out how to add another page to tell you a little bit about me & my fam, so keep an eye out! :)

Turbo Fire!

Goooood morning! :)

I got my TurboFire the other day! Woop woop!

Lemme just say, it is NO JOKE. I CRIED! Chalene Johnson shows no mercy, but man do I love it.

So, since my last update I've lost 1.6 lbs! A total of 5.8lbs :)

Ahh, does it feel good!

I love this feeling! It's a good feeling.

Yesterday was my break from TF, and I'm not gonna lie.. I'm nervous about doing it again tonight. It hurt me in places I didn't know I could hurt. 

Zumba was so not as hardcore as I thought. No wonder I wasn't seeing any results! 

I feel TF, and  I feel it BAD! I recommend it, haha.

I am so so ready, and I am so close to my first reward! :) Yay!

Thanks for all the support :)

Week 3 :)

So today marks week 3!
I am proud to say I've lost 4.2 lbs so far. Not as much as I hoped for, but that's at LEAST a lb a week, which is fine with me. It's 4.2 lbs that I will never see again, right? Right. :)

That ^^ amazes me. Not the picture, but the truth in the saying. When I started out, it was insane hard to do the things I can do now. Sometimes now, I don't even think about how hard it is. The way your body gets stronger is so cool! It's only been 3 weeks, and I am blown away by what my body can do, and I love it.

In a week from today I will have reached my four week mark, and I think then I will post the pictures I've taken along the way. So pray for some dramatic changes this week! :)

I just wanted to post a mini-update before my day today!

I hope everyone has a fantastic hump day!

Slacking thanks to Sickness!

Sorry I haven't been around much lately, I've been down for the count being SICK! Ughhhh.

I hate being sick. I had a massive cold, and was straight up knocked out.

It's been about 3 days since I was able to work out without feeling like I was going to pass out, so that sucks. :( Pffft. So I had to rely on my diet to help me stay on track and oddly enough, I LOST WEIGHT! Woop!

I am REALLY excited about getting mail this week because I ORDERED TURBOFIRE! Woo!

After hearing some advice from a friend, I did some research, and while Zumba is good for cardio and keeping active, it's not a reliable source for long term weight loss. So, instead of being down and out about not losing weight, I yet again switched schedules! I am determined to find what works for me! It makes me really happy to be this motivated and every time I get upset I see those little ounces fall off, and it reminds me how I am accomplishing my goal! Little by little, and maybe slower than I wanted,but I AM losing weight. I am reaching my goal. I am so thankful for my husband for being so supportive during all of this. He is SO amazing and thoughtful and encouraging. I love him :)

So, this week am I so impatiently waiting for  my TF to get here.

I can't wait. Sigh. I think I might change the name of the operation to Operation: Sex Kitten. Haha.

Oh well! I promise to update more, and maybe even not just about fitness! Woop Woop!

Day 13 & 14! TWO WEEKS!

YAY!! Today is has been TWO weeks since I started this journey, and honestly my daily routine is already SO different. I can't imagine not working out every day now!

So, total I have only lost 3 lbs, but hey, 3 lbs is 3lbs of NASTY FAT gone! :)

I didn't get to try my tomato & egg combo yesterday because I had no tomatoes :( But, I bought some today, so I will def. try it tomorrow! I am excited! I'm hoping for more LBs lost this week, so keep your fingers crossed and PRAY! 

I honestly can't believe how much easier I can do certain things now. I almost DIED the first night I did situps and leg drops, and tonight (only like a week and a half later) I did 50 situps no sweat and 25 leg drops with minimal error!

I feel AMAZING when I wake up in the morning and I can't WAIT to get my body rocking to Zumba.

I love it. I may get discouraged when I wake up and don't see the numbers drop, but at least they aren't going up right? ;)

I feel like tonight I want to light a few candles, and take a relaxing bath. Tomorrow is a new day, full of new possibilities!

I am thankful for those of you who are encouraging me along the way, and I am blessed to have you in my life. :)

xoxo,

Jordan

Day 12!

Hola!
Today was day 12! Woop woop!

Today was a fantastic day! I have created a DELICIOUS breakfast smoothie. It keeps me full until lunch and it makes me happy! 149 calories of Banana, Raspberries, Spinach, Kale (which I am experimenting with), Milk and a little creamer for flava. Mmm! I do love it!

For the past week or so I have had the same lunch, and I think I will stick to it. It's super filling, and really tasty. (Salad w/deli turkey, cheese & croutons.)

Tonight we started (dun dun dun) weights! AHHH! My arms are on FI-YAAA! But, it was totally worth it because I'm going to have jiggle free arms here in a couple months! Woop woop!

I increased my situps by 20 (40 tonight, ouch!) and did some more leg drops (increased to 20). I am feeling the burn all over. Let's hope my weigh in tomorrow morning is worth it!! :) Bradley has been measuring his waist so I will start doing that too! Woohoo! I am SO EXCITED.

This summer, I will be rocking my beach bod at VA beach, and Water Country USA. Yeah baby, yeah.

I am pumped.

Well, it's almost 10 here, and after this 4 day weekend (thanks MLK for all you did!!) B has to go back to work tomorrow so it's shower & sleep time.

Tomorrow morning I am going to try THIS for breakfast:

A tomato, with the top sliced off, gutted and an egg cracked inside. You bake it. Uh, delish.

Let ya know how it turns out ;)

Jordan

Day 10 & 11

Well, I'm honing in on two weeks and I am super excited!! Yay!

The past few days have been good since I corrected the issues I had last week. I've found way better ways to stay under my calorie goal, and different food substitutes. Also, I am OFFICIALLY coffee free. I've started substituting my coffee with Black Tea! Woohoo! So, I think I can handle 36 calories for a K cup and some creamer in the morning to get me going. :)

I got a HRM the other day which I was SO excited about, and it turns out I was burning MORE calories than what My Fitness Pal was telling me! So that is really exciting! I've been really focusing the last couple days on my stomach. I've done my Zumba Flat Abs, and situps and some exercise that I like to call leg drops. Haha, I dunno what they are really called, but my husband (as I'm laying flat on the floor with my legs extended) throws my legs to the ground and I have to stop them from hitting the floor. Talk about some pain! Ouch!

Tomorrow we're going to look into buying some weights cause I am a wuss! I can't even do ONE push up. Talk about NO upper body strength. Sigh. SO, let's pray that works out well! If anyone has some upper body exercises they would like to suggest to me that would be AMAZING!

Last night we stayed up late, and I am feeling it tonight. I'm TIRED! So, I'm hitting the hay.

Tomorrow is going to be AWESOME!

Thanks for all the support. :)

xoxo,

Jordan
