Hey Chakalina's Journal, 31 July 2014

Feeling good, keeping it together. I've lost 19 pounds since coming back to FS. I have 19 more to go. Halfway there! I've never been this close to my ultimate weight loss goal. I think 150 will be small enough for a bikini. It sounds a bit shallow- small enough for a bikini- but I'm 37 and have always worn more of a bathing outfit.

I didn't push too hard during my workout, my muscles are sore and legs are so tight. Jumping jacks really hurt the back of my legs, almost felt like something would snap back there. I added some extra stretching at the end and I'll try to soften that tightness with more stretching today. I want to start a butt challenge. I was watching online tutorials by these incredibly strong women whose butts were truly amazing. I think I have enough mass back there but it really needs to be reshaped.

We had a movie on the lawn last night. All the neighborhood kids came over with a bunch of movie snacks. I had a few marshmallows and plain popcorn instead of chocolate and sour patch kids. It was a fun night and I had a lot of willpower.

My salad-challenge is going well. Love love love the meditation part.

Hope you all have a great day! Stay strong!

Good job, keep it up. I hit rock bottom, and just got back on FS. I need to lose 15-20lbs. Ed

Good job on the weight loss and willpower! Are you warming up before stretching and jumping jacks? I always start workouts with a brisk 5 minute walk on the treadmill, then I stretch. This should help loosen you up, as stretching cold muscles isn't a good idea. Trust me when I say you don't want a pulled hamstring... youch!

Thanks Ed. I'm afraid "they" say the last bit is hard to lose. I hope it just melts away for you. Kdawg, I am doing the Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. It begins with some light stretching and jumping jacks to get warmed up. I'm not sure it's enough? Maybe I can do a quick jog around the house before pressing play on the dvd...
