Well, I've moved back into my dorm and it looks great! I Now I'm back in the realm of unlimited dining hall access. And gym access. I'm trying to establish how to start my challenge and admittedly, I went extremely overzealous yesterday with eating. This is a learning experience; trial and error. But I will figure it out and I will keep you updated. My challenge starts Monday, which I'm super excited about. I determined and confident I shall win. I hope. Nay, I KNOW. But for now, let's take a look-see at my room, shall we?
Well guys, it's that time again. Time to join another weight loss challenge hosted by good ol' Bodybuilding.com. Same concept as the previous one. 6 weeks to make yourself look amazing. And this time? I'm gonna win, dammit. Between school, (hopefully) having a job, and rugby, it won't be easy but I will make this happen. I'm too close to burn out now. Below are my "before" pictures. The challenge starts on August 25th. Let's make awesome things happen.
Well guys, I finally went to the beach! It was amazing and I actually wore my bikini. Initially, I was insecure and nervous. However, as the day went on, I became more comfortable and began to accept that I look okay and I should enjoy myself so I did! Below are the pictures my friend took of me.
In my almost 20 years of life, I've never worn a bikini. I was always "too big." My mom even told me to cover up and a put on a tankini (not hating because those things are cute) but today I decided to muster up the courage and try on a bikini top. One that covers my fat but accentuates my now forming waist. Not only did I try it on, but I bought it. On sale, I might add. I'm not where I wanna be but I'm damn sure on my way there.
So it's time for the monthly update and I'm pretty content. My body fat dropped from 36% down to 33.7%, though my weight is going up, most likely due to salt and water retention from weight lifting. But below are this months measurements and progress pictures. **Not: There is no side comparison and these pictures are 2 weeks apart so there is a subtle change**
