What am I going to do.

So if you read the post before this you know i'm doing the Tone It Up bikni challenge again but this time through with my mom. The lovely K&K have made it easy by adding the whole bikini challenge to one blog so everything is all in one spot. I highly recommend it because it's life changing, you can go to the bikini challenge by clicking here. To start off today was no better than yesterday except for the fact that I had my weigh in and i'm at my lowest weight ever that I can remember seeing which is exciting. The eating was all pretty good because I usually eat healthy but again there was slacking on my workouts. It's really frustrating when you want something and you've been working hard but things get in the way of your goals. I think i'm just lacking some motivation at the moment so I really need to do something that will help me to continue on the right path. I taped a little note in my fridge saying "STOP before you grab it, will it help your body?" so i'm hoping that it will help me. Well tomorrow is a new day, a fresh start and an opportunity to Tone It Up!

Day 2 of the Bikni Challenge, round two.

Hey guys, hope you all had a fantastic weekend. I know I had a pretty good weekend myself. Yesterday was the first day of my bikini challenge, round two. The second time through is going to be very different for me because this time my moms going to do it with me, which is a struggle on it's own, and I have way more time now that i'm off for summer vacation the next two months. The bikni challenge will take me right to the middle of August which will leave me with 3 or 4 weeks until I have to go back to school. This works out perfect for me because I always go fall shopping the last week of August. Anyways, today I went out and bought a cute new journal to use to record my food and workouts, I also bought one for my mom so she could do the same. This bikni challenge is starting out way slower then I could have imagined it would've. It's the second day and we still haven't even worked out once. The eating's been going great but every time I want to workout my mom makes up excuses. I'm a little worried because it's hard to get the results you want when you don't do the work. I broke my toe yesterday so it is a little hard for me to do most things without paining it or risking injuring it further so i'm taking it a little slow but there really are no excuses at all. I hope that tomorrow is going to be a better day and I can get my mom up to go for a swim, if not I don't know what i'm going to do. Well here's to a better day tomorrow and a great work out. Good night lovelies, have an awesome day tomorrow. (:

Big news and Workout/Food Journals!

Hey everyone (: Hope you all had a fantastic weekend and happy fathers day to all the dads out there! As for every body who was doing the Tone it Up bikni challenge, the grand prize was a trip to california and yesterday K & K posted a video announcing the 5 finalist! You can check out the video on their youtube page or on their blog. They want everyone to vote on who should win the final prize, so don't forget to check out their videos on youtube and vote! I love all of the ladies and  I wish they could all go because they all deserve it! So good luck to all of you ladies!

Anyways the main thing I wanted to discus today is workout and food journals. Most people when they start a weightloss/fitness program don't keep food and workout journals but they are very helpful and offer many benefits. When you keep a workout and food journal you can keep track of what your eating and you can see how often your working out. If your not having success in your weight loss journey these tools can help you to see areas which you may improve on. If you are having sucess with your weight loss journey then these tools can help you to see what is working for you. Keeping a journal can also help organization skills and will encourage you to eat right and workout. You don't want to see a bunch of junk food in your food journal and you don't want your workout journal to be empty so filling it with healthy foods and excellent workouts is great motivation! (or so i think anyways) So if your truly dedicated to eating right and working out then a workout and food journal is a great tool to help you get started on the right track, of course once you get into a routine you can slowly cut it out. Besdies a food and weightloss journal I also have a note book with my measurements and weight in it so i can keep track and visually see my progress.*
So if you haven't already started one start now! Don't forget your booty call in the morning too! Happy eating&exercising (:

*some people also use photos along the way to track their progress this is also a great tool I use!

I'm back!

Hey all you fabulous ladies and gents. I know it seems like I've dropped off the face of the earth lately but i'm back and better than ever! I've honestly just been extremely busy the last few weeks completeing final projects and studying for my exams. I'm finally done now though and I have the whole entire summer to blog and workout and keep in touch with all of you! Although I was too busy to blog and tweet often I did workout and eat right each day. Sometimes I didn't have enough time to do a huge workout so I would squeeze in the beach bum or itty bitty bikini workouts here and there but for the most part i've been able to go for a swim almost every day this last week and i've enjoyed it so much. I can't wait to get my new bike so I can bike to the pool each morning for a lane swim, also managed to get a really close friend to come with me! She's awesome. Anyways I'm so looking forward to blogging again and hearing from everyone :)
Hope you all enjoy your weekened and don't forget to workout and eat clean, cheating on weekends is like cheating for half the month! love you xx
