Get Fit & Tone That Bum!

Hey, I'm Elyse and I'm a 20 year old junior in college. I love working out, a dose healthy competition and yummy fresh food. I'm a very positive person, and try at all costs to ignore negative thoughts (especially about body image!) and help others stay positive. Come along for the ride, folks. It'll be a good one, for sure.

I don't weight myself, mainly because I don't have a scale in my apartment. I don't care, I'm not looking to lose weight. I just want to get back into shape! But for those who want to know, I'm 5'8 and ~160 lbs. So there you go!

This is me!

Progress Pics Week 3.

I’ve been eating pretty well (save for a trip to the fair this past weekend, but that was a treat!) and have been hitting the gym regularly. I feel better and stronger. And I love love love going to the gym in the morning. It makes me fantastically happy all day.

And pardon the sweat… I just rolled in from the gym. Ha!

DinDin tonight! Alright, alright. I didn’t plate it very nicely. And the rice looks awkwardly huge because of the angle, but it was soooo good! I made…. balsamic chicken, roasted zucchini and tomatoes, and wild rice. I love cooking my own food (until I get sick of it and want my mom to cook for me when I go home…)

Breakfast: Whole wheat toast with PB & a clementine

Lunch: Spinach salad with avocado, mushrooms and tofu w/ a light sesame dressing

Now time to study study study then hit the GYM. I don’t like my gym at school. It’s always so packed with people, you end up having to wait for equipment all the time. No good. Gotta do it anyway. I guess that’s what happens when there are only 2 full gyms for 40,000+ people.

Started a new lifting routine. I can’t extend my arms without my biceps hurting like a mofo. I’m digging it.

Goal Time!

I have 2 new goals!

  1. Run 12+ miles a week (at least 3 miles, 4 days/week)
  2. Do at least 4 consecutive pull-ups.
