Finally reached my temporary goal weight.

I hit my first goal weight:  170lbs.  I am so excited to have hit my first milestone, and am planning on starting on my next 10lbs immediately.  I'm staying at 1200 calories a day, of course, but my workouts are going to be more intense I'm hoping, and I'm planning on starting some serious yoga and working on my flexibility and arm toning as well.  I have been doing a lot of strength training with weights and been sticking to my diet 100%.  I feel like I have come so far, and in the past three and a half weeks have worked so hard.  (:  In three and a half weeks, I have lost 18lbs! 

I didn't expect to get here so soon, but now that I have, I have hope that if I can stick with it I will be to my final goal within a matter of a few months.  c:

Another day, another pound lost!

I have had 3 16 oz glasses of water today and did my FitnessBlender work out at around noon.  c:  I have had breakfast and lunch, combined calorie intake at around 500 calories total.  I am going to try and keep my dinner light too, and have a small snack around 2:30pm.  I feel a lot better, physically, I even can feel that I have lost weight and am getting fitter.  It is really nice and I already feel a lot better about myself than I was feeling. 

So I found a great site for workouts...

It is called FitnessBlender and is mainly made up of High Intensity Workouts.  They are actually fun.  c:  I have been doing 2 of the FitnessBlender HIITs a day, one at morning and one at night.   I have lost one pound so far!  And I have still been counting calories, of course.  What can I say?  Stick with it long term and it works!  :D  I didn't reach my mini goal of reaching 170 by Sunday due to my period coming on and me having to fight the bloating for a few days, because water retention is a REALLY big problem for me during that time of the month, BUT, it is over now and I'm back on track with my weight loss right where I'm supposed to be.  So hopefully I will reach my mini goal by Thursday. 

Problem Areas

I am really hoping to work on problem areas...  I want to work on toning up my arms, my thighs, calves, and stomach.  I also want to work on my flexibility and endurance, because I am working on getting my fitness level up to the point that I can do the FitnessBlender 1000 calorie burn work out.  I really want to be able to do that, but there are things I need to work on first, before I can start doing that. 

Went grocery shopping a little bit...

c:  Got me some veggies and healthy stuffs, didn't get much though because we didn't have much money...  Hoping to get some more tonight since he got paid today and is getting off work pretty early.  I'm wanting to get some protein bars.  :D  I'm also hoping to tone up my arms some more today, after I get the house work done.
