No longer dieting, but living!

Ok so here I am, a year and a half later everyone!!!...I had a baby since the last time I wrote in my blog and am a little over month into changing my lifestyle. I think it has taking me a long time to realize that this is not about dieting. No, it is much bigger than that.  This is about changing my life for the better.  I think for most people it takes that one picture, incident, or special words that makes them realize somethings gotta change.  I also think that that person needs to be in the right mind set and place to take actions.  Never would I be able to do this in a house full of temptations or the first day of vacation. That would personally just be setting myself up for failure. There is more to dieting than just changing what you eat.  It's also about loving yourself and finding out what you are, what you are capable of, accomplishing it and setting up more goals for yourself.

I had many people ask me to do this and I truly hope to help, even if that's just one person. What works for me, might not work for someone else. But am here to share what has worked for me, what I struggle with, give out motivation and hear from my viewers your struggles and words of inspiration too.

10 more til my first goal!

i am pretty excited that i am so close to my first official goal...the under 200 mark. if i can achieve this i know that they is no stopping me now.  i seen myself my change and so have my friends. At some times i even say to myself as long as people can notice thats when i know i am doing a good job. i feel so great. i was talking to a girlfriend the other day and we agreed that now that we are working out in the morning we now have a sense of being a schedule, making it easier to wake up in the morning and workout. that includes having breakfast as well. making a routine helps with making right choices. it's getting easier and easier to change my old habitats but still give me the flexibility to eat what i want and not punish myself when i do eat something unhealthy. i know i was suppose to take pics for you all soon but now.....im gonna wait til i see that 200 on the scale sorry!

food=mood

ok so for a few days ive been complaining about how im not reaching my calorie goal to exercise ratio. i then realize im thinking about it all wrong and that i am doing it right but yet i still felt like i should be reaching my calorie goal. so last week i even lowered my calorie intake from 1750-1450. i still wasnt making my mark. tho anyways today i figure u know what why dont i just try it out and eat all you want healthy or not and as long as i  dont go over my calories, carbs, fat, and protein i'll will be fine. WRONG. i should of just listened to myself.  i know feel full and yet gross.  im never pushing myself to eat again. i will go back to my limited foods and control it even if i dont make my marks.  after only a few hours left of my day i ended up feelin sluggish. i am glad to know that after one day, i can make those changes quick. my body is now changing and i can read the signs better and this is one sign im not ignoring!

20lbs lighter!!!

ok everyone! im back! and altho ive been gone, im still working on the weight! so before the holidays hit i decided to go ahead and start on losing weight before the new year. this way after the new year i will already be in the mind set of losing weight and eating healthy and the transition wont be as bad too. well it worked. since december 18th i really started working on the weight and inches. i joined websites and even included my friends to join together and motivate each other! im so glad i did! i feel so good about life right now cuz i know that i am working hard on a better life myself. i will post some pictures up in later days but for now i wanted to start blogging again and show my progress!  since december i have lost 20lbs!!! go me! and i cant believe i have come that far :-) cant wait to lose 20 more! and then 20 more after then, and then 20 more after that hahahaha!

Revamped version coming soon...

hey guys!

this has been a long and stressful week for me but it has now turned around, and the new week shall be a good one.  Ive been stressed with the absence of my husband who is away for military training for his deployment and its been rough.  im still proud of myself for continuing my diet but also still juggling everyday life. i had a few days where i just wanted to not care anymore but i just reminded myself of my goals and purpose, and kept trucking. so this week im gonna work a lil extra hard at working at my goals.  im also going to try go walking in the evenings to wrap up the day to get ready for the next day, and maybe release any stress or tension i had for that day. this one will be tricky since where i am by the evening time it is still like 90 but that is a new goal im trying to add. :-)

WW

So I used to attend Weight Watcher meetings but do not anymore, due to lack of money. I still do some of the things I was taught from WW meetings. One thing I still keep track of sometimes is points and calorie intake. Points is actually very easy once you get the hang of it and continue to eat the same things over and over again. There is a nice site you can go to that isnt WW related but it still tallies up the points for you which is nice.  WW isn't for everyone but it does teach you some good tips and advise.  I also liked the meetings and the support a lot.
