    *RANT ALERT* I am glad that I found this amd glad someone tagged my name here. Even though it is the 10th I am definitely ready to begin. I have yo-yo'd with my weight for years. I've done really really good losing weight and working out and I've done really really bad being fat, lazy, and overeating and now I am tired. I feel the need to vent here today as I've done so on this platform before. I am telling whoever is reading this today that I am TIRED. My weight is becoming an issue for me and it's beginning to spill over into my relationships with people who love me and it's beginning to affect my self esteem. How I also know it's time to cut the *kitten* is that I just came back from my vacation with my family and even had a day when my blood pressure was slightly high and I've NEVER had blood pressure issues. My knee has been bothering me alot lately because I did some squats last week and didn't warm up properly and apparently my knee has been hating me for it because it's stiff and sore as ever. I just turned 30 and now it seems like things are trying to hit me all at once and I refuse to fall victim to being obesity and all the negative effects they bring. I am going to start today and I am NOT turning back this time.... I only need to lose about 20 pounds, but it's really hard to get motivated tbh but I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna start off with the Daily Workout Plan, I enjoy doing planks so I'm gonna combo that with the planks and for some inner self work I'm gonna jump in on the minimalism challenge as well. Sorry this is so long, I just had to get some things off of my chest lol. Good luck everyone!!!

    Felt like I could do a little something today. Fell off balance a few times & saw stars twice, but it felt sooo good!

    Monday 1/2 10WWP + Day 1 G&G + Day 1 Triceps + Day 1 Arms + Day 1 Plank. I've been joyfully purging clothes as necessary; I wish I knew how to sew, tailoring is expensive in Miami!

    YEAH!!!

    JULY 2017

    Did I say we could relax & enjoy our vacations . . . MY BAD! We're about to hit BEAST-MODE!

    Some of us (I'm at the top of the list), have been slacking. Well, it's time to get real. No more underestimating our calorie intake & overestimating our exercise calories. Enough! You may choose to take it easy . . . or, you may choose to do the work that is really going to sculpt the body you've been working for.

    The entire MFP Fit-Family is welcome. We DO NOT judge.

    Do one or all; tailor the challenges to suit your needs. Split it up into two sessions, split it up into three. Go as long & as hard as you can. We're here to cheer you on (and share your pain).


    Ready, set, GO!


    IF YOUR MIDDLE NAME IS BEAST-MODE, THIS IS FOR YOU.

    Something a little less intense, but still, no joke!

    We can never do too many of these!

    Bye, bye chicken wings . . .

    For our dear Fit-Family who may be looking for something more grounding . . .

    To join this dynamic group, simply touch/highlight the little star at the top right of the page.

    Come back & check-in daily. Share your struggles & successes. Don't forget to weigh, measure & take lots of "before" pictures on July 1st; share your stats if you like. (WE really like!) I guarantee you'll be proud of your progress come July 31st.

    You can do this.
    You will do this.
    You must do this . . . YOU DESERVE IT!


    GO GET YOUR GOALS!

    Be careful. If you're having real pain you may need to take a break for a day or two. We want you healthy for the duration!

    Progress, not perfection <3

    Wednesday 1/2+ 10WWP + Day 2 G&G + Day 2 Triceps + Day 2 Arms + Day 2 Plank. Off to clean my purse. Hopefully I have a winning lottery ticket in there somewhere ;)

    Went swimming yesterday. I think I'm going to hit the challenge every other day until my body fully recovers. Plus I have a serious case of DOMS. My thighs forgot there are muscles there :#

    YEAH!!!

    day 12: tricep dips✔ ggc ✔
    @MiamiSeoul I've had wrist problems for years. I used a different type bench today where my wrists were quite as bent so a little better. I do each day in sets so I rest in between and do something else to give them a break. thank you for your concern and motivation!!!
