Hey y'all!

Long time no post, sorry about that!

Life just became a tad hectic for a moment with school ending, work picking up, and family things to do.

Anyhoo, I am back and ready to speak to you guys about some new information.

Since my last post I have lost a few more pounds.   I am now 126 lbs.  So clearly its slow but steady wins the race, in my case :p

I've been doing a lot of standing and walking around with my new job so I believe this has had a pretty good impact on my fitness level.  As well, I have taken the time to actually go to the gym more often. 

I do not know about you guys but I absolutely HATE to run...not sure why...I guess I am not one of those people who finds it fun or relaxing..BLAHH.  I've actually gotten into the bike thing.  I just put on some pumped up music and then go!  I do not do hard cycling because I want to achieve a cardio/fat loss effect vs. building bulk.

Cycling is pretty good too because it activates all your lower body muscles as well as some core and arms.  I remember one particular session I burned 350 calories...so I was impressed!  It didn't bore me to death nor overly tire me out.

I haven't been doing that 7-day diet I had spoken about earlier.  I couldnt even handle day 1 so I knew day 2-7 was a no go.  Instead, I have focused on reducing carbs.  I have successfully cut out pasta, cookies, cakes, and muffin type things.  I have also reduced my intake level.  The next big thing I for sure want to do is NOT SNACK AT NIGHT!  

URGHH...this is probably the main reason why I cannot shed the pounds.  Because after I have snacked I lay down..and then the food just sits around to amass on my a**.

I also tried the gluten free and dairy free thing for a few days.  There are some really great options out there that actually taste very good so I recommend trying it out.  Even if your not fully eating gluten free, any bit counts..right?



Ok ladies and gents, here is what I'd like us all to be responsible for:

1. No more late night snacks
2. reduce carbs
3. increase activity
4. more fruit...yummy yummy...


So, its late and I need to sleep....please comment below with any great pumped up music suggestions that you guys love for the gym!  Here is one I've recently fell in love with...Finale by Madeon.  Cheers.
