Saturday Morning Weigh-In

Did not go to the gym once this week.

Hiking Runyon Canyon with Emily on Sunday

I Gave Up

This process has been really hard. Getting in shape is lonely and hard and exhausting and the rewards have been minimal. Last night laying in bed I realized I killed myself for almost 3 months for only 5 pounds, and I gave up. It was a bad week, I started slipping up at the office - a muffin here, a bagel there, a few bites of chocolate candy, sleeping instead of morning cardio, and last night I gave up.
BUT, Mr. Boyfriend give me a stern talking too, he was disappointed in me and knew I could do better. This morning he (literally) picked me up out of bed and forced me to weigh myself and then walk the dog. At Starbucks in line today I was all set to order a Pumpkin Latte, but I got a plain Green Tea instead. I am back bitches!
Thank you boyfriend. Sometimes you really can't do it all alone.

Hut, Hut, Hike! 

9 FAT-FIGHTING SUPPLEMENT COMBOS

9 FAT-FIGHTING SUPPLEMENT COMBOS | Muscle & Fitness

I recently came across this article and found it interesting. I don't know how comfortable I feel with taking pure caffeine, I a really perky person to begin with, but some of these other supplement regiments sound interesting. Especially the amino acid combinations.
Of course there is no quick fix to weight loss, and no pill that will magically melt fat away, but it would be nice if in addition to diet and exercise I was getting a metabolic "boost".

Saturday Morning Weigh-In

Wew! Lost the weight I gained last week. Now the key is to keep going down. Enough with this yo-yoing.

Down 2 pounds this week

Here is a picture of my dog in bed. You're Welcome.

Pilates

This is why I love Aaron Porter so much. He sent me a note at 9:30pm last night reminding me of my Pilates homework!
He is always helping me become a better fitter version of myself!

Saturday Morning Weight

So, I gained weight this week. Here are some excuses:
1: it was really hot this week and since we don't have air conditioning I didn't sleep well at all
2: I got all excited last weekend about losing weight that I over rewarded myself by eating a bunch of sugar
3: Since it was hot as hell I didn't take Lily out for our usual morning cardio sessions

Weekend vacation

Everyone brings their scale with them when they travel right? Gotta have the essentials!
