Workout Plan: WEEK 5

This was my week where I said I was going to achieve my goal of 25" when I began this blog. I would like to say, sorry, I didn't reach this goal in time for the Christmas party, I failed...but still looked sexy!! I wasn't too upset because I had a combination of priorities this week such as school, job hunting, and work assignments so I could only exercise 3 times this week instead of 5 as I intended. I would love to be able to workout everyday of the week but my body doesn't like it and it can become time consuming. If I really wanted quick drastic changes then it would make sense workout every single day of the month but I'm more focused on toning now that I've changed my diet. My body is adjusting positively. This journey of achieving the 25" waist will continue, I have until the end of December to reach it. For now here is a picture of my current measurement and my schedule.

Ranging from 26-26.5"

Workout Plan: WEEK 4 - the birthday week....

We have now approached week 4. I can feel myself beginning to slack off. I try to consistently motivate myself by the thought of the fast approaching Christmas party. I tell myself, I want to be hot for this party and maintain a bikini body for when I travel next year. If I work hard now, it'll be a lot easier to maintain later. 

This is the week of my birthday and I know people will try to feed me all sorts of yummy foods and take me to all sorts of fun places. Whenever there's a big celebration is about to happen, you know that's just an event to set you back to square one. But I know I have the will power to stay on track. I'll make sure to do what it takes to get where I want to be.

Starting today, I've created an eating schedule for myself to follow in order to better regulate my metabolism and give myself a sense of organization on this program. I hope to reach my end goal of a 25" waistline by the end of next week.

Currently fluctuating between 26.5"-27"

As you can see, I've incorporate another Jillian Michaels' workout video. The 30 day shred is workout that I've practiced before and it has been extremely effective for shedding off the extra layers of unwanted fat. If you stick to Jillian's DVDs, you will definitely succeed.

Workout plan: WEEK 1

I was never someone that was overweight, I'm 5'2 and weigh between 115-120 lbs. Most people would look at me and say, "You're fine."  But let me tell you, I don't see it. Being short puts me at a disadvantage so whenever I gain a little bit of weight, I will look a lot tubbier than reality. When I see pictures of myself I think of someone who can do so much better. My goal is to return my waistline to 25". I hope to achieve this in one month in time for my boyfriend's Christmas party and wow the crowd. 

Below is my workout schedule for the week in which I will update as regularly as possible. Some of the workout plans have clickable links so you can try them out as well. My weight is not my concerned as it doesn't actually reflect the way I look. Here is a picture of my waistline now, I will provide weekly measurement updates:

All the best!
