Got my new water bottle today! I love it, hopefully this helps me stay on track with my water intake!

So seeing as I am an 18 year old in high school with no job, I’m broke. Which means I can’t afford a gym membership, or to even just pay a drop in fee. My mom is looking for a treadmill to buy for the house but we haven’t found one in our price range yet.

However, we do have an elliptical. No, it’s not a fancy one. In fact it’s actually pretty cheap. But it does the job I suppose.

Basically what I want to know is this - I’m trying to get rid of this stupid pooch on my lower belly, and I need it gone fast for a job I’m trying to get (I have to wear a bikini top) I know the only way to get rid of that is cardio and clean eating. Will an elliptical help me achieve this? Or no since it’s not the same cardio as running would be?

Help? :/

I have a problem with not being able to eat as much during the school year. It wasn’t an issue last year because I did school at home, but now that I’m back at a public school, I feel like I’m never hungry. And because of that, I’m not eating as much as I need to. It just feels like my stomach gets full after about two minutes now.

What can I do to make sure I’m eating enough throughout the day and getting all the food and nutrients I need? I take a granola bar for snack and for lunch I usually take a pretty good sized turkey sandwich  some fruit and nuts, and a string cheese. But then I usually don’t eat till dinner because I just feel uncomfortable, and it’s really not that much food.

This might be a dumb question, I’m sorry.

So I was getting dressed this morning, and before I put my clothes on I looked in the mirror, and oh my GOD. My waist looks so good. It’s so defined and getting to that little hour glass shape. I would have taken a picture but I was in my underwear, and I don’t want that on the Internet haha. But I’m so happy right now, and I’m so happy with my progress I’m making :D

Abs day! I definitely won’t be able to move tomorrow haha. (MY PHONE CAMERA IS HORRIBLE I’M SORRY. I’M GETTING MY NEW IPHONE IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS!)

Oh my lawd.

Even though my stats have got higher than they were last measurement, I’m still so proud of my body right now. My stomach looks smaller. It’s still a bit too “soft” looking for my personal taste, but if I keep working at it I know I can get the nice, toned body I want.

I’m proud :)
