1 pound @ a time

Back to basics

I’m on the road to losing weight and toning up. I finally feel comfortable with my work schedule and my personal life has finally settled to a calmer state.

So I’m putting my focus back on fitness, health and…me :)

Started p90x on Monday…so crazy sore…its ridiculous! But I love it!

Will keep you all posted, thank you for sticking with me and I’ll be sure to start sharing a lot more.

swim day

ositos-mausi — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:59:20 -0700

after my late lunch, headed to gym for a nice swim. Will feel good after being on my feet at work. Tomorrow I have a late shift, so hopefully all get up early enough to get a workout in.

Eating wise, doing pretty good :)

Hope you all are doing well!

quick and tiring workout

ositos-mausi — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 23:36:57 -0700

Got to gym at 9 they close at 10. Went in and warmed up for 3 min on stair machine thing ( scary machine). Then series of arm, chest, ab , and booty workouts for 30-35 min. From there took a dip in pool and swam a total of 14 laps (raced with husband lol) then quick rinse off and out the door 5 min after closing….whew! Felt great.

hi everyone!

I’m still here, creeping around on tumblr. My goal of getting to 130 is still in effect, I’ve been maintaining 143-145 for a while now. But I’m not discouraged ( most days ).

Still exercising ( though not as often as I did or should) my motivation is slowly picking up again. With the job and moving I wobbled on my path but I’m getting my balance again :)

I’m just glad I haven’t gained a lot. Sometimes I have that fear that I’ll wake up and all my hard work is gone because I’ve slowed down.

Food wise, not all great choices, but again gaining balance of it all. Thinking maybe keeping you all updated will keep me accountable for doing my routine and eating right.

So hello again, forgive the long hiatus. :) Now time to get ready to swim :D

know what's a great workout?

Moving…moving things from a house you and your parents lived in for 8 years…8 years f accumulated furniture, papers, figurines, etc. All being sorted, boxed, hauledto storage units or donated.

My arms are sore, back..sore, legs..sore.

This has been my wirkout for the past 2 weeks…

If all goes well I get a break when I go to work, whichnow seems much less exhausting. Also might sneak a hike in somewhere :D

Eating is hit or miss. Christmas was sweets and tamales…i can’t say no to tamales on Christmas. Anyway, all is well with me, hope you all are doing awesome…write me, respond, input, vent, whatever you desire :) I’m here.

I need to escape so bad, this place would be great!

Good morning :) I’ve been on tumble, just not active on here. I wish I could report that I have made amazing progress or something.

But truth is I haven’t weighed myself in over a month. My pant size is between 6 and 8. My shirts are between xs and s. I feel like there isn’t much to change. I would still like to lose the last the couple pounds, but I wouldn’t be depressed if I couldn’t.

The biggest issue now, loose skin. I hate it, but I live with it. Slowly it shrinks, but can take years before I’ll know what is staying and what will go away.

So for now I keep on with my exercise and eating healthy (on most days) :)

hope you all are doing well, feel free to ask questions.

Last day of work for this week :D

So excited to have time off and spend time with my family.

Last year was a success, I ate proper portions, drank my water. So, this year should be no different. Ah, stuffing…:)

Hope you all have a great day.

Yesterday was strength, my booty is sore…means it’s working! Today we have cardio, doing it after work…rain this morning :/

feel free to leave me messages/ questions

Thanksgiving is coming up :)

My mom asked me yesterday if I was going to take over cooking the turkey :O

So I will report how that turns out.

Went running this morning and will will be doing strength training after work.

Yesterday we helped my parents pack and move stuff. Husband did more of the lifting but I did some sorting, packing, wrapping and light lifting. So we counted it. Husband was a trooper :)

Eating wise, going good. Saturday we indulged a bit, pizza (pruscutto and arugala) and ice cream. The ice cream is a perk from work :D

Gotta get ready for work now. Hope you all have a great day!

Long day at work, glad it’s rest day. Tomorrow, strength day :D

Late night run was a success. Felt nice, was cold in the beginning but after the last round, was feeling flushed. Was exhausted after, so went to bed pretty early.

New day, day off. Today is another strength day, abs, chest, back, biceps, triceps. :)

Ready for a great workout!

managed to get myself up whoo!

ositos-mausi — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 09:34:51 -0800

Did strength workout last night. One hour of shoulder, chest, back, butt, thigh and abs :D

Then a few minutes of cardio to get that last bit of energy out…then a wonderful shower, followed by a warm bed.

Woke up later than expected so today’s run will be after work. Late night run, but I’m off the next day so don’t mind.

Eating wise, doing pretty good. Hot chocolate is the current weakness, tea is taking over though :)

I’m so ready for turkey, stuffing and pie….

Hope you all have an awesome day!

cold weather makes it so hard to get up...

ositos-mausi — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 17:14:41 -0800

I just want to snuggle, drink tea and hot chocolate…

Yesterday we did our run, was cold…but after I felt really good. Today is strength day. Haven’t started yet…I’m going to soon…

Trying to pump myself up. Hope you all are doing good :)

hey all!

ositos-mausi — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 13:16:37 -0800

So many new followers, thank you for coming by.

To my followers who have stuck by, even when I was MIA for awhile….thank you so much for your support!

Today we did an hour of strength. Chest, biceps, triceps and abs. Yesterday was run day same as tomorrow if weather and time permit.

yesterday was also movie night, watched cloud atlas…was a good movie, thinking of reading book..which in retrospect should have done first.

Feeling good, eating back on track…candy was so tempting in October. Now have to keep calm during Christmas..already seeing the huge tubs of popcorn…caramel popcorn Mmm…sorry

Anywho, hope you all are doing great! Message me anytime :)

Went rock climbing yesterday!

ositos-mausi — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 10:31:10 -0800

Was so much fun, I did better than last time (which was 8 months ago lol).

Oh and the guy grabbed me a small harness…a small. The last time I was there he handed me a large.

I still felt huge compared to the other women that were there but meh…I had a good time and this was only my second time trying it out. I completed some courses that were almost impossible for me last time. Just have to work on endurance, strength is there though :)

Today is run day! :D

Hope you all are having a great day!

So late in posting, but I finally got it! First pic was October 2010 two months before husband and I got married. Second pic was taken this year, two months before our 2 year anniversary. Lots of changes.

I would have never worn this costume, my confidence before was non existent when it came to clothing and dressing up in costumes. I rocked my costume this year and felt great!

125 lbs gone, 10 lbs to go for my goal. But if I don’t get there I’m pretty content with my image and confidence now :)

You’re so awesome! :D

a wonder woman indeed

Aww thank you lovelies!
