thumperbear123 asked: hey congrats on your progress! :) do you find tracy andersons exercises effective? I did one of her arm workouts that was on youtube and my arms kaned lol what do u think contributes the most to your results - diet or exercise? You are so committed! How long have you been doing this (exercising to tone up/lose weight) for? Sorry thats about 10000 questions haha its obviously working congrats again! x
Thank you! I do find Tracy Anderson exercises effective, although I am currently only doing her cardio because I know I need something quick and effective - once I lose more weight I’m gonna add in the toning exercises!
As far as what contributes most to my results, I hate to say it but it’s really a combination of diet AND exercises! I think what helps is tracking, and I’ve been tracking all my exercising, weight, body fat %, and what i’m eating every day for about 2 weeks now and that makes me aware of what I’m putting in to my body, and it’s great motivation to exercise so that I don’t leave that space blank in my spreadsheet!
I’ve been exercising on and off since April, but only really been consistent with it recently!
Hope that helps! <3
iwanttobecomeskinny asked: Omggggggggggggggggg i am soooooo jealous of your progress!! i wish my body was like that! :( do you think p90x will work?
Awww thank you!! haha I’ve heard really good things about p90x, so I bet it would work! I just haven’t tried it myself. I think the main key is just to be consistent. :) Good luck!! x
Yay!
My body fat is the lowest I’ve seen it since I got that scale! Today I am 121lbs exactly, and 18.8% body fat. I remember being above 20% when i started all of this…and now I’ve dropped! Woo!
I’ve been working out every single day since I started tracking on a spreadsheet that my ex helped me make, and even though it’s only been 7 days, I’m still impressed with myself for managing to workout every day. LoL I only remember one day where I REALLY didn’t feel like doing it, but my sister wanted to so I did it too, luckily. And I’m slowly working my way up to doing 40 minutes of cardio - yesterday was my first day doing half an hour, (and of course I really only step-touched it for the last 10 mins, but still. Better than sitting on my butt.) and I was just GLOWING with sweat after. LoL (Gross, I know, but it’s weird because in a way I think it’s kinda sexy when there’s a slight sheen from the sweat I’ve worked up. Maybe one day I’ll find a guy who thinks so too. LoL!)
Anyway, I’m still doing Tracy Anderson’s 30-Day Method cardio. Cardio was always more of a struggle for me than doing any sort of strength exercises, so I’m just focusing on that for now. When I’ve lost a few more pounds I’ll start toning as well so I’ll look…tight. If you know what I mean.
Yay!
Bad news (for my weight) is I’m off to Atlanta for labor day weekend, so I don’t know how much exercise I’ll be able to fit in, and I’ll really have to be careful about my portions for what I eat! I really don’t wanna gain everything back that I’ve worked this hard to lose! There’ll be a pool though, where I’m staying, so I’m gonna be a nerd and bring my goggles so that I can at least do some laps and work up my heart rate that way, in between sunbathing of course! :D
