searching for skinny

I only recently stumbled upon the interesting world of 'thinspo' and 'fitspo' on tumblr, and it's been so motivating for me in staying on track with diet and exercise! So I thought I'd make my own blog to chart the weight loss that will hopefully happen during the next few months - I'm going to update frequently with thinspo and fitspo and my progress. If you're a HEALTHY weight-loss blog, please follow along! More about my weight loss journey in my first post - http://122in2012.tumblr.com/post/13551002559/my-weight-loss-journey.

Lazy Lady Workout

I always say 20 minutes is better than zero, and half-assed is better than no-assed. When it comes to fitness, you’ll ALWAYS have good days and not so good days. There’s no such thing as ‘perfect’.

When I’m feeling ‘blah’, this is a routine I do to try to get my ass in gear. If it works, I’m all warmed up for a nice workout. If not, at least I’ve gotten SOMETHING in for the day. All the exercises can be done from the floor or using a chair/couch & work your booty, core & upper body.
