Gorilla Heart Health Study - Cincinnati Zoo

I’m on a journey to my dream body

some women would kill to have that “Victoria Secret Body”

well that is my goal, and I’m going to use this blog to track my workouts and progress

I’m also going to post inspiration photos (only VS angels)

motivation quotes and workout tips

my goal is not only physical perfection but the understanding

that you can do anything you put your mind to

I believe I can accomplish this and so I will

follow me on my journey xoxo Cyn

I slept in today, which is unusual for me. I feel really good - partially from working out hard yesterday! I’m going to the gym today, but I’m not sure what I should do… any ideas? I already ran some laps today. :)

How’s everyone’s day going so far? What is everyone doing to be fit today?

I’m planning on starting a Progress Blog where I’ll post pictures and some reviews on my work outs and things I eat and some ongoing measurements and whatnot now that I’m almost ready to start my P90X training.

It’s going to be password protected so my“”half-naked”“ self won’t be at too much of a public-display.

[I will also be posting a link in a few minutes to my new fitness blog]

But it is a FITSPO-type blog, so if you’re interested in getting healthy or toned[like I’m gunning for] or just wanna show me some support [which I will GREATLY appreciate] just send me a message in my ask box and I’ll inbox you the password :)

I start p90x as soon as I can get a pair of resistance bands, just so you know. Which could be as soon as this weekend.

Here’s a link to my ask:http://andtheworldwaswell.tumblr.com/ask

and if you know of anyone that is a fitness blog or that likes following fitness blogs let them know about me, or let me know about them.

Thanks you guys, I love you all :)

He's Been Fighting AIDS from the Start :

“In San Diego, a physician named Douglas Richman knew something odd was happening even before the first report in 1981. He found himself treating sick gay men but couldn’t figure out what was wrong with them.”

Hint for my next post/FIRST NICK RECIPE! We, we, we so excited. We so excited

Gorilla Heart Health Study - Cincinnati Zoo

The Cincinnati Zoo and The Christ Hospital work with Toshiba to better understand the hearts of gorillas.

Good day so far!

Breakfast: small peice of toast (GF) with a tablespoon of peanut butter, coffee

Lunch: 1/2 cup of yogurt with strawberries, blueberries and a banana, Tazo Passion Herbal Tea

Snack: Rice crackers with a bit of gouda cheese and 1/8 cup of pine nuts, coffee

Total: about 600 calories ( Allowing 250 for dinner)

I didn’t do my full 20min of cardio again… it’s literally 100 degress in New Jersey and I can barely breathe as it is. Although I did have time to read a book, which is exercise for the mind… ha. 

Started my Tuesday workout, but I don’t have hand weights :/

Does anyone know a good homemade substitute? 

Tomorrow is the start of a new lifestyle. Yes its a bit exciting and stressful. But I think I can work it out. I don’t want to be peppy for two weeks and then just give up. Today my family got most our healthy food and tomorrow we get the rest. We have greek yogurt, lean meats, fruit, low fat cheese, nuts, and honey. We are going to get mushrooms, veggies, and herbs tomorrow. I’ve been swimming a lot. Me and my mom think will go swimming everyday after din dins. It’s also chore day so I’ll wake up and eat,shower,chores,workout. Afterwords I’ll do what I want up until dinner and then swim go to bed. I’ve been getting out of my ocd more and more. My room is actually a mess! Not like a tiny mess. No theres a pile of random shiz on the floor bedding, clothes, hangers. Theres makeup still out on my vanity, and my bed is unmade. My house is an absolute mess as well! My nail polish is chipped and my face is broken out and you know what!? For once I don’t care as much! So I’ll clean tomorrow not in my remotes all lined up perfectly, the world disgusts me way in a normal person way! OVER EXCITED BUT ITS SOME PROGRESS!

I have lost 16 pounds

I have lost a total of 16 pounds since January :O, that is such an achievement. Yes, you might wonder why such a low amount in so many months well to put it lightly around March i stopped exercising and eating healthy because i was stressed out about school. Hopefully i will lose 15 more to reach the 200 and never getting back to 231 again :D

Best thing is i have maintained it and haven’t gain~!

Eat Healthy, Be Happy!
