17 days to go!! + thinspo to motivate me

So I start another 17 day cycle on my 17 day diet tomorrow. I have an end of term concert on the 22nd, so this gives me just enough days to finish the cycle and lose over ten lbs. I have been in the gym a lot and have noticed some improvements in my body, so if I actually start shedding weight at the same time I think the results will be even better. I want to be ubber hot for my solo. On top of losing weight, I need to find a white dress to wear since we are going with white dresses for the concert. More summery than our usual black dresses.

In order to not fall off the wagon before the 17 days is over, I have made a countdown chart starting at 17 days and going down to 1 day, in which I can rip off each day as they go by reminding me that I am on a mission. I am also deciding to write down everything that I eat. I think that will make an enormous difference.

Wish me luck! Enjoy the thinspo.

One week count down!

SO I've got a new diet plan and exercise routine. It's much different than I was doing for the last few weeks. I have been working out really hard and doing this strength training class three days a week on top of cardio. I haven't been noticing much difference in terms of strength and I think it's because I get so little protein in my diet.

I have just under two months to drop 20lbs and gain strong muscular thighs (in order to get rid of the cellulite I have accumulated). SO I need to increase my exercise and protein and keep my calories fairly low. This is what I've come up with:

Diet:
Pre-workout breakfast - half/whole orange
Post-workout Breakfast - Protein powder and milk/water
Lunch - protein powder, milk and half a banana (259 cals)
Dinner - protein powder, milk, half of banana (259cals)
Snack - any veggies, as much as I want
Totals: ~900cals

Exercise (the plan until I have a job):
Strength training class 3X wk (MWF)
Dance Aerobics class 4X wk (MTTHSAT)
Kick-boxing class 2X wk (WF)
Different Dance Aerobics (optional) on Sunday.

I am hoping this new plan will help me reach my goals. Also, lately I have been LOVING the gym. I can't get enough. I want to be there all the time! This is a little scary because I used to be obsessed with exercise to the point I would exercise upwards of 4 hrs a day in highschool. I don't think it's out of control at this point...but if I get injured I don't know if I would stop...apparently that's a sign that there is a problem. Well fingers crossed I don't get injured.

The one week countdown is for my birthday! I turn 24 on May 20th...I am still in the processing of planning what we are going to do, but I think it might be a wild nite out cause I haven't had one of those in a while. A looong while. Just need to find something to wear and decide on something for my hair and makeup. I like to go all out, and I wasn't able to celebrate last year so I am going to make up for it this year. Hells yes!
