Hot damn, ya’ll. It’s been too long! Have you missed my Southern charm?
I took a hiatus for the winter…and like any good Chicago winter, we skipped Spring and went right into construction season.
I reckon I’ll get you caught up. Since I have mostly been working out and watching hockey, I was apprehensive to write much. I promised you a blog about a Southern girl living in the big city not another fitness/weightloss blog, but then I realized part of my story is about trying to get healthy in Chicago.
Don’t worry, though. It hasn’t been all lifting weights and eating canned tuna. I have plenty of exciting things to share with you, too.
Let’s start with a getting healthy update. Overall, I have seen progress since starting at Meatheads five months ago; I have lost 8 lbs, dropped 5.4% body fat and lost nearly 2 inches on my hips, thighs and waist. There’s definition in my arms and the faint outline of something ab-like. My weightloss has pretty much stopped, but I still get on the scale daily and feel let down—I am my own worst critic.
