Welcome to week 7. I was a little disappointed last week because I gained weight, but I loss in inches and body fat percentages. I am down to 33% body fat, compared to Week 6. My weight is 156.2 lbs. I don't like gaining, but it could be muscle gain versus fat gain, especially since my body fat percentage changed from 33.43 during week 6 and 33% during week 7. I may increase my weights for next month to 10. Currently, I have 2, 2 lb weights and 2, 5 lb weights. I also may invest in a kettle ball finally. 

I noticed since starting this Revolt Journey, a few other people in my family have decided to try out new things to lose weight. I do wonder if they are safe or not. My mother takes supplements, but does not exercise, unless she does some heavy lifting at work. My niece wrapped saran wrap around her belly, thinking it will sweat away the poundage, but her diet and fitness also has not changed. 

I never taken to any strange diets and exercises before. When I went from 160 something to 130 something a few years ago, I was walking more. I walked to work, over an hour, when I missed the bus. I walked over an hour to a train station if I was bored. I stopped eating a lot of fried foods. I reduced my portion size of foods. I don't like to count calories or weigh food. I also don't have rhythm so Tae bo (Billy Blanks) and Anything with Shaun T. is completely out. That brazilian butt lift commercial looks fun until I saw them doing some combination of latin dances lol. 

Anyway, Let's go week 8. 

Revolt Fitness Week 4

Welcome to Week 4.

I gained a pound, but that was expected. Ate a few no no foods. I thought I missed a day of exercise, but there was no videos for Wednesday. Definitely been a challenging week physically and mentally. My new hated exercise: anything with planks, pikes, and push-ups. My body been in a lot of pain this week. Not sure why, but the workouts been harder. Dealing with a headache all day today, but still pushed through the exercises. I also got new workout gear from Ellie (I am an ambassador. that post is coming next. pictures will be the same).

I am also ready to invest in a new yoga mat. The one I have is good, but it lacks traction. Keeps trying to roll up.

This was one of the longest posts to do because i got a new phone and could not figure how to send pics. kept getting an error

Revolt Fitness Week 3

Revolt Fitness Week 3

Welcome to Week 3 of Revolt Fitness. I been watching my diet this week. I did not do the detox again this week because I have not been to the store yet. I had to make do with food, which was here. 

I also have learned that buying healthier options do not stop other people from using them. For example, I bought two bottles of I can't believe it's not butter so I won't have to use butter. My sister has been using it when she cooks, instead of grabbing a stick or a tub of butter. 

The exercises have not been easy this week. Still tough to do at times. My new evil workout is that pike to plank. OUCH. I finally got my new exercise ball in the mail. I cancelled the old order, got my money back, and then ordered a new one for a few dollars more. I did part of Tuesday's workout yesterday, since week 3 friday was not up yet. I also did part of week 3 friday once the video was posted

Another highlight was my size 13 jeans finally feel comfortable again. The jeans had gotten a little tighter and I could not wear them. I tried them on today and they felt good. Not too loose and not too tight. I also noticed a pair of my old size 10's.  I will fit into them one day. I know it. I keep envisioning myself with a toned butt, thighs, and smaller belly. 

My weight is 155.8. I was 157 in week 2 and 163 in week three. I loss 1.2 pounds from week 2 to 3, with a total of 7.2 pounds.

Revolt Fitness Week 2

This is my second week of Revolt Fitness. This was detox week. I got my containers this week for food prep, along with my yoga mat. The containers really helped. I can go for the containers, instead of for something else, like ice cream. The yoga mat also helped because my floor is so freaking hard. I am still waiting for my exercise ball to arrive. Amazon is out of stock right now, even though it was in stock when I ordered one.

I did modify the detox diet some. One of the recipes called for chicken marinated in italian dressing. I left my chicken out to defrost, but the next morning, someone had knocked it over and it got a leak. The meat had to be tossed out and I lost 10 bucks on the breasts. I used fish marinated in italian dressing. It was good. I also ate smaller portions of food. I know we are not supposed to substitute but all I bought was chicken, fish, and shrimp. One bag each. I may do detox again next week as well. I also did not eat the eggs since we didn't have any. I ate oatmeal in the mornings.

I also learned to workout at night. The kids are sleep and it's more peaceful. I can concentrate more on the screen and less on screaming kids. The wireless headphones are doing a great job.

I ate a lot of sweet potatoes this week. I used the rice cooker to prep them. I did love the strawberry and ricotta mixture. I also ate a lot of salad. My mother's ex tried to offer temptation. He bought two big buckets of ice cream, which I love, for the whole household. Every time I went downstairs, this man was mentioning fixing ice cream for the kids and I still reached for my fruit bar, until today.

The exercises were a little easier this week, but those upper body sculpts for Friday were painful. I been sore since Last night.

Mistakes made:
I decided to cook some brown rice, reached for the box, threw it on the stove, without thinking. It was white rice. By the time, I looked over to check the pot, it was done. I was prepping food for the next few days at the time. I also added some sugar to some food because I didn't want to run upstairs for the Stevia; ate a slice of cheese, and a small, portion of ice cream. 2 biscuits, and a cinnamon roll. I guess today was my free day. Tomorrow, I am sticking to detox, depending on how much food I have left. I have to go back to the grocery store for additional food. Some chicken breasts, sweet potatoes, bananas, ricotta, strawberries etc. I am also looking for some cheap protein shakes or powder.

Revolt Fitness Week 1

I signed up as a blogger for Revolt Fitness  a while back and was selected for the July Uprising. The Uprising was supposed to start on the 1st. I ordered my scale and calipers on Sunday Night and they did not arrive until Tuesday. I also had to wait on my new internet wireless card, which arrived Tuesday as well.

Social Media:
Twitter:
Youtube:

I spent Tuesday reviewing the Uprising guide and materials. I also took (or attempted) to take my measurements and before pictures. I wrote down the foods I liked on the approved list. I think Detox starts next week. I have to go shopping on the 6th.  Wednesday and Thursday, Aunt Flo showed up, so I was not sure whether or not to do the exercises. I started the exercises early Friday morning with the upper body sculpt. OUCHIE. My body is achy. hot. tired. This is what I get for not regularly exercising. I did the warm-up and 10 minutes the upper body sculpt before needing a break.  Finished the rest out hour or two later. It was definitely easier after taking the break. Definitely grateful for buying wireless headphones because I could listen without having to watch the computer for directions. I also ordered an exercise mat today. My floor is too hard.  If I want to get back to a size 10 or 8, I have to put in the work, like before.

YOUR RESULTS

• BODY FAT PERCENTAGE:
• LBS/KGS OF BODY FAT:
• LEAN BODY WEIGHT:

Body Fat in pounds (weight multiplied by body fat percentage) 163*.2051= 33.43 body mass number (fat mass)
Weight minus fat mass weight: 163 - 33.43=129. 57 lean mass

Ideal Weight:
Female
163 lbs. 5'2''
Current body fat: 20.51%
Current fat mass: 33.43

Current weight minus goal weight: 163 -130=33 lbs. If I lose 2 lbs of fat per week, it will take me 16 weeks or 4 months. 

BEFORE PICTURES:
I don't own a bikini or a swim suit. This is me in shorts and shirt.

Happy Wednesday

This is my week so far:

Highlights:

1. Package not arriving from Amazon. Ordered some wireless headphones using my amazon payments account. Package was suppose to arrive Saturday. Went downstairs after getting the package delivered text. No package. Called Fedex. Said they will call back in 24 hours. no phone call. Called Sunday. Was told the driver division was closed until Tuesday. Called Amazon. They refunded my money back to payments and sent me a new set for free. The driver came today. We talked. He said he delivered the package. We still don't know where the first package is. 
2. Unauthorized charge on Amazon. Checked my debit card account last nite. Saw an unauthorized charge for 85 dollars for Amazon Prime. I already have a prime account and it does not re-charge me until January. Called Amazon. Somehow, someway, a friend of mine got prime with my money. I don't share my amazon information because too much is tied into it (book sales, payments, kindle, create space, kdp select, mturk, etc). I don't share my debit card information. I have a budget and keep a close eye on all my debit card accounts. Plus,  I am cheap lol. My two highest expenses each month are my tithes and Wal-Mart. Not paying for two prime accounts. 
3. Ultimate Blog Challenge- I signed up for the ultimate blog challenge, which means I have to blog daily and read blogs daily. I am on day 3 and just started today. Internet connection was down part of Sunday, Monday, and yesterday. 
4. Revolt Challenge. I also signed up for the revolt challenge to lose weight. Still waiting on my scale (I don't know how much I weigh) and calipers to arrive. Package gets here tomorrow. 
5. Lost internet connection. Sunday. went to church. got home from church. took a nap after church. woke up. went to the pc. internet not working. checked the wireless program. it's working fine. checked the adapter. lights not on. took it out the pc and it had a broken wire. My wonderful two year old broke it while I was sleep. This is not the first one he broke. Called my ISP. Told them the problem. The new one would be here in one to two days, but i have to pay a 10 dollar fee for the new one. No problem. Had a 7 dollar credit on the account. asked them if they can charge the rest to the bill, due Monday. That was a no. Glad I had money on one of the debit card accounts.
