Another day... another workout...

So I have admittedly been a huge slacker ....I have been working out sporadically...but nothing serious. I did complete some long walks (8 miles) in preparation for Bay to Breakers (BTW...I still need donations for Breathe California!  Read about it and donate HERE!!)

But thats not the point... I am starting to wonder how many times someone can "start" and "fail" and keep on going without seeming ridiculous...I have been saying I am going to lose this weight for 8 years...I lost a good chunk of it back in 2006...got down to 200lbs...but then it came right back.


The only way I lose weight is working out every day...if I want to be thinner/smaller ... I have to realize that and make a commitment to it being a daily thing. 


Anyhoo...today I busted out my TransFIRMer and did the supercharged sculpting workout...which is a combo of cardio and weights and SUPER HIGH stepping. 


My legs feel like jello as I am sprawled across my bed writing this blog entry but that is a good thing. Tomorrow, if the weather is nice, I would like to get out and do a long walk at an easy pace and see how I do. Tonight when I get back from dinner with 21, I would like to bang out some yoga ... 


No job = all the time in the world... so I have no excuses...I just need to figure out how to get past my fears and insecurities and just do this.




Well, in this workout...well before it...I took my measurements and I am going to do that every 10 FIRM workouts (about 3 weeks) so I can track my progress. I am also going to weigh in at that time as well and post it in my blog update such as this one I am writing now. This way, I am more accountable.

These numbers are pre-workout in my workout clothing (meaning sports bra)




Name: Jessica 
Height: 5'5" (on a good day..haha)
Weight: 264lbs (Yikes)
Arms: 18"
Bust: 48" (50 in a regular bra)
Under Bust: 43"
Waist: 44" (smallest part of me)
Abs: 48" (1" above the belly button)
Hips: 51"
R Thigh: 32"
L Thigh: 31"


I dont give a shit about my calves at all...nor my forearms, neck or a lot of the other things they say you should measure...I just care about the above measurements.


So with Bay to Breakers like 12 weeks away...I am trying to set a reasonable goal for myself ... What do you think a reasonable goal would be for some sort of loss between now and then??




Yep..thats it...that is me...for now...


Each day, I am planning to hop on here just after I finish my workouts and post what I did for the day and my thoughts/feelings about it. Might be at the very end of the day, before I go to sleep so I can include yoga in the post (since I like to do that right before bed)

  1. 2 pounds per week is the healthy max, but i personally try not to shoot for more than 1.5 (12*1.5 = 18). so somewhere in the 15-20 pound range?
