I'm a scientist/DON'T JUDGE ME!!!

No really, I am! Aren't you a scientist if you make up & do random experiments? So, I'm a scientist.


I have been having a HARD time the last couple months. I have been at a plateau and getting discouraged. I know that at this point my weight loss is SUPPOSED to SLOW down, I WAS NOT prepared for it to STOP altogether!
Okay, not STOP, I have been losing 2-3 lbs here and there. And then gaining it back (I must've MISSED it, you see) only to lose it again a week or so later.


So here is the experiment. I am not going to do ANYTHING to assist my weight loss other than attend boot camp. I am not going to track my food (OHHHH), I'm not adding in any extra cardio (ooohhhh) and I'm not going to step on the scale (YIKES!). I am not going completely off the deep end. I still want to feel good and eating all the junk & "bad" food that got me where I was in the first place leaves me feeling like BARF.
I will live this way for the next 2 weeks.
On June 12th I will weigh, measure and refocus. I will PURGE every nasty, carb loaded, calorie packed food item in my house (at least the ones that are REALLY tempting, some of the stuff Mark & the kids like just doesn't turn my head anymore). I will take pictures of myself AND the scale to post here. I will be 100% up front with the results of this experiment.
For those who "want" to know, I've been hovering right around 180 lbs for about 2 months now. This morning I weighed 180.4 I am currently wearing a size 12 in jeans/pants/skirts. I have 2 pairs of size 14 shorts that are comfortably loose and one pair of size 12 shorts that fit SOOO perfectly.
That is where I am starting out. We'll see where I stand in 16 days!

I know you're all wondering...

Just how I got where I am today. Well if you've been reading I have mentioned boot camp & my trainer & sometimes I just say Jeff. So here's his website. It is truly the BEST workout EVER! I am so happy I found this website. It was a real answer to my prayers. I have never been this fit OR this excited about working out. Jeff designs the most amazing & challenging workouts. Even when I'm cursing him under my breath I'm SO glad I'm there, working out & getting healthy. So if you're in the Phoenix area & you're looking for a workout that will create the best YOU possible, check them out!

Five Hundred

So I haven't been feeling very "blog-worthy" lately. I'm still stuck in the SAME plateau I've been in for a couple months, I've been off & on with my healthy eating and with our recent move I've been missing workouts left & right. 

But today I feel AWESOME! Today I feel like I am the strongest woman in the world! Today I feel "blog-worthy"!

Today, we did 500's. Yes you read that right, FIVE hundreds. It was CRAZY, it was INTENSE, it was CHALLENGING and it was PERFECT!!! I feel like I can conquer any obstacle, achieve any goal. I feel healthy & fit and stronger than ever before!

So, yeah...I can do 500 squats, push-ups & sit-ups. 

How 'bout you?
