I’m currently ambitiously writing this before going to bed. As usual, I tell myself “you’ll start tomorrow.” But when the phone buzzes at 7 AM with the freezing AC holding me captive to my sheets, today becomes tommorow. But hopefully, this blog keeps me accountable, as well as keeping everyone else who struggles like me accountable as well. You thought you were alone?

Now to the real shit

My goals are to finally get closer to my dream body, the curvy slim thick hour glass shape that every girl with social media craves for. I’d even take stick thin skinny over being the fat potato I am (but I guess the grass is always greener on the other side).

I’ll start with my body type as well as measurements.

I’m on the slightly curvier end, with a nice bottom from the side, but if you get closer, you’ll realize there isn’t much on actual side of my bottom (gluteus minimus). I wouldn’t say I have hip dips, but those who tend to store fat on their lower body will find that their gluteus maximus looks quite alright, but that fat deposits don’t give you the actual round butt. I actually don’t know what my butt will look like, I really don’t know what it is, but I want to have control over what it can become. My waist has a little chub on it (a good amount on bloated days, I promise it’s not slim thick). I want to trim my waist down to get a flat stomach for the first time in my life. My upper body? That’s my problem. My arms have always been chubby along with a lot of fat around my back and neck, which doesn’t compliment my broad shoulders. It’s what makes my proportions look like actual shit. My chest size is a 34 DD, but with the way my fat proportions on my upper body is placed, nothing about my body looks flattered. The upper fat reserves continue to my chubby bloated face which I’ve always hated for years. I hate how fat my face is… It’s not in my head, it’s actually real. I’m too self conscious for pictures as well as people who know me discovering I have this problem, because who wants to be known as the girl who struggles to lose weight? It’s embarrassing. Admitting your body issues to another is a brave move, but admitting it to yourself is even harder. People knowing just makes it more painful. It’s why I tried to dress in large clothes. Not to hide it from others, but to hide it from myself.

Now for the body stats!

Height: 5’3

Age: Teen

Weight: 140 lbs

Body fat percentage: 34% – 36%

Waist: 29 – 31 – 35 inches (upper waist near under breast, arch of waist, lower abdominal waist)

Hips: 39 in (measured at hip dips)

Upper thigh: 25 in

Mid thigh: 20.5

Bicep: 12.5

Chest: 34 DD (borderline DDD) – It’s not cute, just makes me look fatter and top heavy

My Plan

7 AM – Black Coffee

7:30 AM – Sprint a mile in 1 minute increments with breaks in between (HIIT)

When I finish depends on if I stick exactly to schedule, or if I take a certain amount of rest between each set. When I’m done, I’ll leave the track after finishing my 1L of water with an electrolyte tablet.

Whenever I finish AM – weight training

I do full body and I vary up my exercise + a Chloe Ting ab workout, I’ll post the workouts after I get through the basic get-go

10 AM – Protein Shake + psyllium husk fiber with water

12 PM – high fat, high protein meal (low carbs) + a keto dessert (keto ice cream, keto milkshake, dates, etc) NO REFINED SUGAR IDIOTS

2 PM – Green Tea (no sugar, no honey, just hot good ol’ green tea)

4 PM – Fruits + lemon water and nuts

6 PM – boxing and another ab workout

Supplements before bed (women’s multi vitamin capsules, pantothenic acid (for my acne – it clears my face like nothing else), omega 3 algae tablets, Iron tablets, etc

In bed at 10:30 (sleep is important)

Be asleep around 11 (it’s okay if it’s not perfect) then wake up at 6:44 (or 9:44) to get a complete REM cycle. Your body is supposed to adjust naturally to fall asleep if you do it long enough

Goal + Explanation

By the end of September, I want to be under 130 lbs or near 130 lbs. I also want to be slimmer with toned muscles under this 8 week period.

My schedule has my metabolism spiked in closer intervals rather than far apart (green tea, coffee, protein shake, keto lunch, fruits). Black Coffee and Green Tea is said to be a fat burning god, so I’m switching off of acv (which barely worked) for something else. You’ll notice there’s no useless sugars in there, which will kill my happiness – but I’ve tried the meals and I’ve been full and sated. I don’t even crave sugar after. Also, if you get a good REM cycle and eat high protein, your cravings decrease.

I want to have an athletic body that doesn’t seem sluggish or fat. I don’t want to feel like a pound of jelly but rather feel like an athlete.

I opted for two workouts because of my sedentary day in quarantine + with school starting soon, I’ll be at my desk at home or sitting down most of the time – two workouts is key to spike your metabolism.

I hope to build muscle and boost my metabolism, so from after my birthday, I can enjoy a little more without conséquence. I won’t gorge, but enjoy a nice treat every few days.

The goal for eating high fat, high protein, and low carb is to starve your body of easy energy (carbs) and force it to metabolize fat reserves. However, you don’t want to deprive your muscles of all your glucose input because it’s what will give you your best performance during workout, so I took a good midway and added fruits such as oranges, bananas, plums, berries, etc which isn’t completely Keto.

Time to get snatched!
