New day.

Good Morning tumblers!!!

So today is a new day, and I feel good about starting my journey from scratch, I got on the scale this morning and turns out that I weighed 173.9 which I know thats just my “morning weight” and by the evening it will probably be more but thats still pretty impressive seeing as I stopped working out for so long. Today I start eating right and Im going to take my family on a walk at byrd park. There is this one mile trail and I want to walk it 4 times, its beautiful out and it would be a great day for a walk. Besides like I said I’m starting out slow! So wish me luck I’ll tune into you guys tomorrow! :)

I’m BACKKK!!!

HEY tumblr, man Ive missed you guys, ok so last time I was here it was January and its been about a month and a half, I COMPLETELY fell off my diet plan, there were personal reasons for it, but now I’m back! and ready to tackle this weight loss thing, I have been eating the WORST things, drinking the WORST things and to be completely honest , I don’t even know where to BEGIN to restart my weight loss journey, I guess I’ll start back eating right first, then working out because SURPRISINGLY, I have only gained about 3 pounds from where I was at the end of January, I just feel bigger because of all the bad things I’m eating, I don’t feel light anymore. Good news is, this happens to everyone, where they fall off and get back on, so I can do it, hell I did it before!! So clean eating from now on, I started everything at 185. I WAS 173, now I’m 175.9 so I gained about 3 pounds which isn’t bad but isn’t good, my goal is to be 168 by my birthday April 16th, that’s about 7 pounds and that’s a month away so hopefully I can do it, I really do miss the gym and working out it was becoming apart of me so I’m super excited about getting back to everything, one thing I am going to do differently is try not to think about it so much, I told my mom I was giving myself a year to lose 50 pounds, I am in no rush, I have no one to impress, this is merely me getting myself healthier and making small changes to change my life! so it is March 13,2012, I have roughly a month to meet my second first goal weight and I’m confident in myself!!! Good luck to all of you on your journeys!!

MORNING SUNSHINE’S!!! so everybody its been 30 days! 30 days on my healthy lifestyle change, I just got off the scale and it says (drum roll please)…..172.7!!!! I know tonight it will probably say 175.4 or something and I hate when that happens, but as of this moment as I sit here and write this post, I weigh 13 pounds less, 13 pounds in a month people. It was NOT easy, as you can see from my last post, I’m craving a sausage mcmuffin as we speak! Instead I’m drinking my strawberry banana bolthouse smoothie, trying not to think of the delicousness that is a sausage egg and cheese mcmuffin.. :( OK people good luck to all of you just starting on your journey and congrats to everyone who has made it this far WE DID IT month 1 down!

jan-25-2012!

HELLLOO WORLD!! OMG I’m so excited, I had a dream last night that I reached 174 and then I reached 168 and actually started crying (in my dream) That’s probably going to actually happen when I reach 168. Anyway I was curious so I got on the scale to see how much I weighed even though I promised I wouldn’t look until Sunday but I got on and it said 174.2!!!! I am almost at my first GW which is 173! that would be 12 pounds lost in the month of January alone! I am this much closer to my second goal weight. once I reach 173 ill only have 5 pounds till 168!! It has been such a hard month but I lost 11 pounds and I’m so proud of myself. If I can do this anyone can do it, I think when I get to the 160’s Ill do my first before and after pics. Also I’m still super sore from yesterdays workout but I have to go to my muay thai class because I have to do two a week. Have a good rest of the week everyone :)

Hello World! So this week has been fat week for me, NO not because I cheated on eating, but just because I have been FEELING fat for the past two days, so as you know on Sunday I did an hour of weight training. Yesterday I was sore. So I didn’t work out yesterday. I felt fat all day and I felt like a failure and I just wanted to go get a big mac but I DIDN’T I don’t know why I’m so hard on myself when I miss a day, I think I just feel lf I miss a day I’m going to stop completely but NOPE 24 days and going strong! 7 days from now it will be the last day of January and I can hopefully say I have been doing well on my diet for a whole MONTH I can’t wait to be able to say that :) Anyway I ran 3 miles today WHOOP WHOOP! So I feel better now, I don’t feel like a fat failure and even though I’m not seeing the results I want too, and I feel like I won’t see them for another 2 months, I’m not going to give up and neither should any of you. Have a good day everyone!

things I havent had in 23 days that I used to have on a regular basis.

* sweet tea

* king size bag of peanut m&m’s

* marble loaf

* birthday cake pop

* mcdonalds

*whopper

*snickers

*mountain dew

*chocolate chip cookies

*tacos

*chips

*cheese

* did I mention peanut m&m’s I love those things!

And surprisingly I don’t have the urge to eat any of these things, I guess that whole 21 day thing is true because non of these things are on my mind. :)

Good morning!! Were in week 4! I am SO sore today. I did an hour of weight training with my dad at the gym yesterday and of course I’m feeling the after effects of it today. Its all good though that means its working. I figured I would do three days of strength along with 3 days of cardio this week and see what happens, I can’t do strength today though because I’m sore and I don’t want to tear anything so I’m going to try and run a couple miles today. I was a little discouraged today because I didn’t lose any weight last week so I feel like I have hit my plateau already , but I have to remember that it takes time and I have lost 10 pounds already so that’s better than nothing. Since I don’t think I’ll hit my goal of 173 by February, I’m just going to try to be at least 168 by the end of February. that’s like 7 pounds in a month and hopefully I can do it. The easy thing about it is, is even though I’m not at at least 174 I still don’t want to eat bad things or give up. I understand I have to wait, and its already almost been a month so I know I can do it, I just have to keep it up. I WILL NOT GIVE UP.Well good luck today everyone. :)

jan-21-2012 continued…..

Ok first can I start by saying this sushi I’m eating is SOOO SPICY my mouth is on FIRE!!! anyway Ok so this morning I woke up and I decided Im going to go the gym… So I went to the gym did a little bit of working out, I ran a mile and did some weights then left, then an hour later I went to my HOUR AND A HALF muay thai class!! on an EMPTY STOMACH! worst decision EVER like its almost 2 o clock and this is the first time Im eating something today….not good, I kept wanting to leave the class but My body wouldnt let me and I stuck through it, Im glad I did though so I have worked out for almost 2 hours today YAY me! Now Im in Starbucks eating sushi, attempting to study but I can’t find an outlet so I can plug in my computer so its gonna die in like 5 secs lol. Ok everyone have a good day!!

Jan 21-2012!!!

I can’t believe I just typed that, I can’t believe its been 21 days since my healthy habits started and it has been a rough road. Even though I know I have a LONG way to go I am proud of myself for coming this far, I have lost 10 pounds!! I have not had any candy, any fast food (besides subway) any soda, any sweet tea, NO fried foods whatsoever, NOTHING bad since I have started! Its all getting easier too. I don’t crave any of the bad things anymore, yesterday was my cheat day and I was asking myself do I want to go get a small fry from McDonalds? I didn’t want too. Its just the small victories that make it all worth it. A couple weeks ago at a restaurant I would have been preparing myself to eat as much as I want, but through the month of January Ive been to red lobster and Golden Corral,and I’ve opted for healthier choices and always drank about 4 glasses of water during my meal! Its EASY to change your life, sticking to it is the hard thing, but when it becomes a habit you just do it. I have 1 week and 5 days to get down to my goal weight of 173! I’m really excited 2 pounds to go! good luck on everything everyone :)

20 days!!

I realized today that I have been doing the healthy thing for 20 days!!! No candy for 20 days no soda, no tea, no butter, no sugar!! I’m so proud of myself can’t wait till I can say its been a month! I do feel bad for not working out for the past two days but I’ll make that up at my muay Thai class tomorrow morning! Keep up the good work everyone!
