Pushing on

Well Nina has been wanting me to blog for a while. I'm not gonna lie I've been struggling.  By the time I get off work after my 9 hour shift every day I am beat tired and I want to just go home and relax.  Some days i'm excited to go to the gym and have been looking forward to it, other times I am dreading it and will do anything to get out of it, but Nina has kept me going. I'm so grateful for that, I can say for sure I would have quit a long time ago if it wasn't for her.  

My weight has been so weird since we've started. I've fluctuated but haven't lost more than 5 pounds total since the first of the year. It gets really discouraging because Nina loses so much, but I know i'm gaining muscle and she has more fat to lose.. not in a mean way. Its true and we both know it, so I can say that :) Haha! I gained last week then I lost .2 this week putting me at 199.7... not that great. BUT I am excited to measure myself on the first of March. I'm doing it monthly but am thinking we're going to lose weight totally different. I'm going to lose inches first but not weight, and Nina's going to lose weight first then inches. We will see...

When I was clothes shopping for Christmas I found these jeans, I got the biggest size they had in the store (Vigoss Brand Size 32) and I couldn't get them zipped up or buttoned.  I bought them anyways as motivation, I tried them on the other day and they were still tight but I could get them buttoned and zipped! Proud :) 

I bought another size down from what I am right now and they are hanging on my bedroom door so I see them every day! 

More random laughter going on at the gym :) 

We ordered some more amino. It's the best stuff ever invented. For real people. It's got no sugar, like 2 carbs, and I think 10 calories for 2 scoops. I've now tried every flavor but orange, I think my favorite is the fruit punch, then grape, then watermelon, I've yet to try the blue raspberry.. Nina's slacking on giving me some to try ;) hahaha! 

Now for some random goodness :)
