I don't blame you for not coming to motivate me in my last journal, as I haven't been doing anything to stay on track these past months. I am more eager than before!

Glad you're back! You'll do great! Stick with it!

Sorry I'm so short... running out to work in a few. Wanted to stop by and say hello, rather than take forever!

I'll be back later tonight with something a little more eloquent!

Good luck!

Hi everyone,

My name is Diana. You might not recognize who I am at first, but I had a journal here in around August/September wanting to lose fat and gain muscle. Well, since then it hasn't been really good as I haven't been going to the gym or eating clean for that matter. I am determined more than ever right now because I am aiming to obtain my Personal Fitness Trainer Cerification...so who would go to see a Trainer who doesn't look fit, huh? Anyway, I got all caught up with my job at the hotel and didn't pay attention to what I was actually doing to myself. I went from 123 lbs. to a current 150 lbs. , my self-confidence has gone down the drain ,which is not something you would want. I was very active in the past, training at least 3-4 times/week. I got into great shape before so my goals is to get back to 123 lbs., but more lean with a lower bf%.

Here are my stats:

Female
Age: 18
Height: 5'3
Weight: 150 lbs.
BF %: Unknown - around 28% probably
Waist: will post later
Chest:
Bicep:
Thigh:
Hips:
Calves:

I am free to accepting any suggestions regarding my diet or workout. By the way, welcome to my journal to success...

How's your day today? I'm a little sore and tired. Today my therapist really worked my shoulder hard and it's sore.
Anyway, just passing by to say hi, so (I am not very original as you can see...)

Anyways , I know it's not easy to get back on track sometimes , but from what I've seen in your journal since you restarted your healthy way of life , it seems very good . Take it from me , I've been there just keep it up , and you'll be so very proud of yourself Keeping in mind that all the Im members will be proud of you !

Good luck , once again

BTW, what is your name?

When I'm in class , I just bring a crap load of food and I eat during my classes. Sure half the class looks at me but heck , I'm satisfied with my eating

Anyways , good luck with eating more frequently and keep up what you're doing so far , you seem to be doing very well

Have a nice day at work diana
