Hi guys long time since I have last posted but their has been progress since, now it isn't a big change but change is still change no matter how big or small! It’s still a victory even though ive only lost 1.6 lbs even after having Canadian Thanksgiving! I’ve taken a screen shot of myfitnesspals weight chart that I have saved in the app to show you how much of a struggle its been for me since I started this journey. Many many ups and down’s but you have to keep your head up and positive to reach your goals!

Major Update!~

Hey guys, its been almost a month since I have posted anything at all, due to lots happening in my life. Though life has been filled with chaos, temptation and excuses, I am no longer in the 3′s!! As of Today I am 298.3lbs now I know it isn't much of a change and it isn't a BIG NUMBER like we all hope and want but its definitely improvement of some sort and I am super proud of myself for sticking with it! I’ve even seen a friend who has mentioned that they notice my loss so far!

This week's loss 2.1Lbs

Now some of you may look at this number and brush it off but to me this is an accomplishment. Even the smallest amounts will lead me to my greater amount all steps matter on my journey!

The struggle is real,guys..

So as some may have noticed I haven't been posting anything recently and i am sure I could come up with any excuse under the sun as to why but here is the truth.

I’ve been busy planning and attending my brother's wedding! He got married a couple of days ago and well.... I definitely fell off the wagon and gained a few pounds whether it's due to stress or just not paying attention to what I put in my mouth I'm still conscious of that fact I am guilty as charged.. So I have been getting back on track with being accountable for my food and working out again so that I can continue my journey to where i want to be.

I have been thinking about setting small achievable goals for myself in the upcoming months, the first main goal is I want to try and achieve a weight loss of 20-30lbs by my birthday which is in December. Now I know that anything greater than those numbers would be out of my league knowing my own body and my strengths so that is a big goal for me but for now I have set a small goal of 5lbs. If I am able to achieve that than I will be off to a good start towards losing my goal amount.

Okay so it took me forever to finally upload some shots of what i'm dealing with.. so basically this is me.. As we can all pinpoint my midsection is my area of focus as my thighs are my other area of focus.. Ignore the unmade bed and the poor quality of the photo, I wasn’t going to go all out for these snaps. 

Currently I feel less motivated to go to the gym and work out, I’ve been feeling more like a home body so I have been going out for walks at a fast pace and tomorrow I will be forcing myself to go to the gym and get in a real good work out to see if that will boost up my moral.

Accountability

Today, I am holding myself accountable for everything that I have consumed.. If we want to be exact it is only 3pm and I have already consumed  1 548 calories... More than my daily intake which is supposed to be 1 200 (general mark that I aim for.).. I binged ate and I feel disgusting, I do not know how I let this happen.. I am left with a huge ache in my gut, and mental anguish due to my ever so poor choices today.. I can’t blame anyone but myself for this, being out of whack due to menstruation and stress at work.. I definitely could have handled this better than I did.. Today is already in the past I can do nothing more than look forward towards the future..

Will be taking photos and proper measurements this week and will post them within the next few days. 

Just need to work up the courage to do so..

Thing I was never told about weight loss.

 Here is a list that I have composed about things I was never told about weight loss that I think I should have known before..

1- People.. People will always stare at you, no matter how big, how small or where you are. Examples: Groceries stores, clothing stores and even the gym. People have a tendency to stare at you no matter what you are doing, even if it has nothing to do with them. So Get used to it and block it out.

2- Struggle.. You will struggle mentally, possibly maybe more than you will struggle physically. It’s a change and with change it takes time to become accustomed to it all. Keep it up 

3- Food.. Food will scare you at first, it may even taunt you but you will realize that food will also be your best friend. You just need to make the right choices and proper changes to your diet to achieve your goals. 

4- Awkward.. sometimes if not most of the time your body will make working out awkward. Yes you will sweat in weird places, places you’ve probably never sweat before. If you have a big belly/muffin top it will get in the way sometimes and of course you will jiggle all over without even trying. So brush it off and power through!

5- Motivation.. Motivation will come and go. Some days you may be super motivated to get up and get moving and other days you could very well want to lay in bed all day and be a couch potato.. Remind yourself of why you started this journey, how far you have come since that day and how much better you feel. You can do it!

6- Cravings...If you have cravings and i am sure you will one day, don’t wait till the urge is overpowering and you binge eat whatever you get your hands on. Instead go out buy what you are craving eat it but be moderate and do not feel poorly about giving yourself that needed bit of satisfaction. 

7- Realization... Realize the weight that you are trying to loose will not come off overnight because it did not magically appear overnight either.. Stepping onto a scale everyday will not do you any good mentally, limit yourself and realize this is a big change.
