Weight Loss Journey #3

So it's been a few weeks since I've updated this portion of my blog. I started volleyball this week and I'm nowhere near where I wanted to be. I have been starting to workout regularly now though and I like to kind of change up my routine. I get bored easily so I find it easier to motivate myself this way. 

I'm starting to kind of work out some sort of schedule so here's what it is now.

Monday: arms and abs

Tuesday: burlesque workout DVD

Wednesday: legs and butt 

Thursday: Jillian michaels workout DVD  

Friday: pyramid workout 

Saturday: gym (treadmill and weights)

Sunday: light abs

I purchased this burlesque workout DVD at a thrift store for only $1.50 and it's actually been a lot of fun to use. It's some fun little dancing and a great way to really get your heartrate going and to lose some calories. I wouldn't recommend it as a daily workout routine though because it doesn't really help with the fast track to weight loss and abs. I use it as more of a fun day in my workout routine. 

I've also started a shake diet. Today is Day 1 and I'm doing the cleanse. Which means, no actual food for me today. I'm really nervous about getting too hungry but I feel as though I'll survive. I'm drinking 4 oz. of the cleanse drink for breakfast, lunch, mid-afternoon, and also dinner but today I might only go til mid afternoon because my mom is cooking this big healthy dinner tonight and I don't want to miss out.    Tomorrow though, I will start the shake portion of the diet. It's a shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch, and then an 800 calorie meal for dinner. I WILL SURVIVE. I'm hoping this brings my 190 to a 180 by September 3rd which is when SENIOR PICTURES ARE HERE. AHHHH. 

The past two years have been moving past so quickly and I can't believe I'm a senior in high school. Next year at this exact time I will be starting college. This blows my mind.

But, back to the diet, I will be doing this everyday for the next three weeks and hopefully will be at my weight loss goal of 175.  I will still be doing workouts, especially since volleyball started, and will be working mostly towards a flatter stomach and toned arms. 

Til next time,

Weekly Update 8/3/14

So I was reading through some of my old posts on here and I noticed that my first one talked about my depression two years ago and how I was feeling the same when I made that post.

Looking back on it, I can't believe that I was ever like that. I just can't believe I thought there was no hope.

Now when I look at myself now, not much has changed in my life. I still have a very limited amount of friends and I don't fit in here at my school. Everything I do, I feel left out of, but I guess the only different thing is is that I learned to love with it. 

Obviously, I still get upset and I still get angry. I'm human. But, I've found myself to be a much more happier person now. Even when my best friend stopped talking to me, when I got left out of everything, I found myself not caring. I have 11 months left here and then I'm gone. So what's even the point of worrying? 

People always ask me where I'm going to college and what I want to do with my life and my answer is always "I don't know, I'm just getting out of here."

On a happier note,  I might be going to a One Direction/ 5 Seconds of Summer concert on the 30th in Chicago. It's not official yet but I really hope the plans go through. I had to miss Warped Tour this year so this would definitely make up for it.

I also had a great time yesterday. I picked up 27 extra hours at Subway and yesterday was the only day I had off so I went to the lake with a few friends and Joseph. We went tubing and we actually did end up breaking the boat but we won't talk about that too much. It was altogether a great day and I ended up sleeping like a baby last night due to being so exhausted.

Also, I just filmed a July Favorites video and am in the process of uploading it now! So check it out :) 

Until next time,
Kennedy
