Day Seventeen

Day Seventeen - 157.8, 5'8''

Thinspo of the Day: Yacht girl II

6/24 Journal Entry: 

I gained 1/5th of a pound, which I'm not too upset about. Consistency is key, and weight loss isn't magic, so I know my weight will keep coming down if I don't give up.

I bought some new exercise clothes (VS sports bra, capris with neon stripes, neon tank top). I find that exercise clothes are great motivation, even if you just wear them while doing home workouts.

I'm trying to pick a gym to join, since my university's gym is under construction. I'm deciding between Anytime Fitness and LA Fitness. Anytime Fitness is cheaper, slightly closer, has better reviews, and is open 24 hrs. However, it requires you to come in and take a tour (you can't just purchase a membership online).

Now at over 2,500 squats, even though I accidentally stepped on a nail and destroyed my left foot.

How I seized the day:

• 100 squat challenge (x2)
• 100 Russian twists

Thinspo of the Day: Jungle girl

6/22 Journal Entry:

The new scale came! It measures every 2/5th pound, whereas my old scale only measured every half pound. It's really thin and beautiful. Now, I know my weight really came down to 158.4. I'm proud of myself. I've now reached over 1,900 squats, since I did 300 today.

How I seized the day:

• 100 squat challenge (x3)

Day Fourteen

Day Fourteen - 158 Pounds, 5'8''

Thinspo of the Day: Hiking girls

6/21 Journal Entry: 

I am more motivated than ever. I weighed myself this morning (multiple times to confirm the reality), and found that I lost a pound! A whole pound! I went out with my friends and bought a $15 Victoria's Secret sports bra, thanks to the semi-annual sale. 

Today is the fourteenth day of my squat challenge. I have completed over 1,600 squats since the start of the challenge (on two days, including this one, I did 200, and on some other days I did additional squats). I am planning to continue for 100 days, or until I move into my apartment and my roommates deem it weird.

How I seized the day:

• 100 squat challenge (x2) - 10 reps with 10 pound weight

Day Thirteen

Day Thirteen - 159 Pounds, 5'8''

6/20 Journal Entry:

Happy summer solstice (first day of summer) everyone! I got my squats done early so I can do more exercises later on.

How I seized the day:

• 100 squat challenge - 20 reps with ten pound weight; 10 reps of jump squats
• Repeated the challenge without weight

Thinspo of the Day: Vanessa Hudgens

6/19 Journal Entry:

I had a really long day at work, and my legs really hurt by the end of it, but I still made time to exercise. I'm super excited to have lost 1/2 of a pound.

How I seized the day:

• 100 rep squat challenge - 30 reps with 10 pound weight

Day Eleven

Day Eleven - Weight unknown, 5'8''

Thinspo of the Day: Burning Man girl

6/18 Journal Entry: 

Still waiting for my scale. My measurements haven't changed. I guess I'll talk a bit about the thinspo. Burning Man is an iconic example of self-expression and being who you truly are. In order to express myself fully, I need to be in a smaller body. It's a mental thing. My current state isn't who I am. It's who I am after surrendering to indulgences, my depression, and the like.

How I seized the day:

• 1.4 mile walk around a lake
• 70 curl-ups
• 100 rep squat challenge - 30 reps with 10 pound weight
