Working Hard to be Healthy

Hello there (: This blog was made to show that I am going to change my lifestyle, and lose the weight I want to lose in a healthy way! My caloric intake each day will be 1290 calories. I work out, so my intake usually goes up. I try to eat 200 calories under my intake, but there are always there if I get hungry. It's a slow process, and with this intake, I'll only lose one and a half pounds per week. Recently, I've gained because of muscle. I'm always up for some feedback! If you have any suggestions about work outs and recipes, feel free to drop by my ask box! Just a little FYI. I post some of my own ideas and things here, and I'd really appreciate it if you didn't change the source or take credit for it! HW: 156.5 CW: N/A Goal Weight 1: 152.0 Goal Weight 2: 148.0 Goal Weight 3: 144.0 Goal Weight 4: 140.0 Goal Weight 5: 136.0 Goal Weight 6: 132.0 Goal Weight 7: 125.0 Under Goal Weight: 122

Well, I have to turn in my computer, today.

I'll get it back in a week or so.

I'll miss you all! Don't think I'm not getting online because I don't want to; it's because I won't have any way to do it!

Stay strong, beauties. <3

I know it's really strange, but I'm about to just wear a corset everywhere I go.

I would NEVER binge and I would eat just enough of the healthy foods all the time. (While ruining my organs, but you know).

I'll gladly take any questions!

Whether they're about weightloss or if you're just curious about the face behind this blog.

I need to get my mind off of this binge. :c

Don’t let one slip-up ruin your day or stop you from achieving your goals!

One of the biggest mistakes people make, is simply giving up! So what if you had some pizza or some chocolate? It happens! I have had my fair share of pizza and chocolate (especially over the holidays)! THAT DOESN’T MEAN I CAN’T FIX IT.. THAT DOESN’T MEAN I CAN’T CHANGE MY BODY (IN A HEALTHY WAY)!!! If I had given up each time I messed up and ate something I shouldn’t have, I would not be anywhere NEAR where I am today.

My tips for “fixing” eating slip-ups:

Do not keep eating whatever it is you “cheated” with just because you cheated! Saying “well I messed up my diet, I might as well finish off this bag of Cheetoh’s” is like saying “well I’ve got one flat tire, I might as well slash the rest.” It makes no sense! Do not continue to binge!

FIX the mistake at your very next meal! Have something light like a spinach salad with a little bit of fat free feta and some vinegar. DO NOT skip the rest of your meals for the day, it will only add to the problem.. Why wait for the NEXT DAY when you can fix it THE SAME DAY!?

Do not beat yourself up about it!! Everyone makes mistakes. That doesn’t mean you are “worthless”, a “pig” or a “failure”. I often see girls posting things like this and it makes me so sad! It isn’t true! Think positive. YOU ARE ONLY A FAILURE IF YOU QUIT!!!

Do not use exercise to punish yourself for what you ate. This could cause you to begin resenting your workouts. Do not spend hours at the gym to work it off. Do your normal routine, and just add a few extra sets to your weight lifting or a few extra minutes to your cardio! 

Think about how far you have come, rather than how far you have to go. Realize that each little bit of progress is HUGE! Some people never even BEGIN to try! But you did! Remember that!

Smile. Remain positive. You will get there!

I have a gymboss interval timer but you can also get an interval timer app but i’m sure you could also find one on the computer if need be.

If you’re unsure about anything please send me a message.

8 Benefits of Spinach

1. Loaded with Vitamins: like A, K, D, and E and a host of trace minerals.

2. Good Source of Omega 3 Fatty Acids: the kind most of us need in North America.

3. Anti-Cancer and Anti-Inflammatory Antioxidants: Researchers have identified more than a dozen different flavonoid compounds in spinach that function as anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer agents. In a recent study on the relationship between risk of prostate cancer and vegetable intake (including such healthy vegetables as broccoli, cabbage, and brussel sprouts) only spinach showed evidence of significant protection against the occurrence of aggressive prostate cancer.

4. Alkalizes the Body: All those minerals helps to balance off the highly acid diet which most of us subject our bodies to and which drains our energy, increases obesity and a creates host of other health problems.

5. Nourishes the Eyes: The carotenoids found in spinach protect against eye diseases such as cataracts and macular degeneration.

6. Strengthens the Bones: One cup of fresh spinach (or 1/6 cup of cooked spinach) contains TWICE your daily vitamin K needs. This along with the calcium and magnesium in spinach is essential to maintain healthy bones.

7. Perfect for Green Smoothies and Salads: Organic pre-washed spinach is now readily available in most grocery stores. If you haven’t yet tried a green smoothie yet and think they might taste yucky then try one with the main ingredient as spinach. Spinach is so sweet, we guarantee you will be impressed.

8. Spinach is FRESH! Studies have shown that even the artificial light in the grocery store shining on those plastic tubs of spinach can actually help keep the leaves from spoiling. This indicates the spinach is still metabolically active and fresh. (x)

Legs and arms in a half hour, and then cycling for an hour after that. :)

BE POSITIVE! Keep pushing yourself forward and never let the things that matter least get in the way of the things that matter most.
