So, it’s been a little over two weeks since I posted about starting Operation Sexy Bitch in my quest to well… I guess that’s a little obvious. It falls well in sync with my 30 before 30 that I started the beginning of August, a few weeks before my 29th birthday. The goal is to get as close to being in as good of shape as I was when I was in undergraduate school. This doesn’t necessarily mean dropping weight, but this will more than likely be a natural (and welcome) side affect of becoming more active and  making myself pay better attention to my endurance and activity level.

I’m excited to share that I’m really starting to notice that my endurance is much better than it used to be, and that I’m starting to really learn how to use weights properly to help tone and strengthen my body as well. I’ve been doing a little crossfit and mainly cardio while I’ve been here up until a few days ago. I’ve recently started a workout regimen with a couple other women here that is similar to crossfit but slightly different.

This in combination with walking a lot of places here and finding a good balance with my diet has put me in a good place. I’m not starving myself, nor denying myself things I occasionally crave, such as the goodies everyone is sending me or the occasional need for mountain dew to help me through working a late night. This gives me hope that in the end, when I’m back in my “typical” routine, that I will be able to maintain this. So long as I stay within a long driving distance of Sweet Republic that is. In addition, I plan on spending a little bit on a bike when I get back, determined to use it for my smaller errands not so far from the home. If you know of an awesome hot pink bike (with a basket) to ride around town in… let me know

I know the picture is blurry, but I thought I’d add an update showing where I’m at as of now. Next time I’ll show myself bench pressing a million and one pounds Also, now that I see it, I am pretty happy with my progress.

Hopefully any of you that are working on Operation Sexy Bitch at home are doing as well. Let me know about your progress!!
