Failed it! Next?

Hey guys, hey guys, remember that time where it was almost the end of December and I was like, "Hey, I'm totally going to start my diet a little BEFORE the new year and lose some weight so my 'starting weight' for the year is lower!" Do you remember that? Do ya do ya??

Ha. Haha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH no.

Guess I ended up making different life choices, because New Year's Day started with another 155 weigh in, and the day after New Year's Day was even a teensy bit higher.  But IT IS ALL OKAY because it's time for me to lose like 30 pounds again and heck, you gotta start somewhere.

Even though it's a new year, I've decided to do an old thing. Last February I spent a month being super committed to the Pinterest-discovered Guns Buns and Abs work out challenge. In that month I lost 6 pounds and multiple inches from all the places where I would like to lose multiple inches, so I have decided to do said challenge again.

It hurts, my friends. It hurts so, so mucho.

I’m on day 2 of the challenge, so 5 pushups, 55 squats, and 30 leg lifts. And I’m still adding in the crunches (starting at 50 a day) because of how flabby my belly looks in the mirror. Dang uncouth, no manners mirrors. Jerks, all of them, I assure you.

Along with this, I’ve had some bonus cardioone Start The Year Off Right run of about 7.4 miles, at a breakneck speed of 4.6 miles an hour which makes it technically… a brisk walk? A leisurely stroll? An annoying nap? Ah, forget you, Haters. Leave Fatty alone, SHE’S TRYING HERE.

This was the before picture.
There is no after picture, because about 1/4 mile from my house, both myself and my phone dropped down dead.

So that’s where I am now. Stomach muscles screaming in pain, with no weight loss yet to speak of.

But on the bright side, I'm so hungry I could eat my own shoe.
