Under construction

**This Blog is about me working towards achieving a healthier and better body.** I have recently taken up a vegetarian life style (started May 27!!) I have also restarted my every year insanity journey(July 7) I am currently 140 pounds and hope to reach my goal of 125. 15 pounds!!! I have never been this weight before EVER. The closest I have ever gotten to it was 127 and thats when I was losing weight by not eating much. I was about 17... Im 21 years old and really want to get slim in a HEALTHY way. No more of the skipping meals to get thin. On here I want to post my progress as well as some Vegetarian recipes. I also want to post thoughts on the way i view myself and life in general. As a child I was bullied and although i have gotten over a lot of it there are still open wounds that i have not been able to heal. So every now and then ill write about those in hopes that it will help me get over that. The reason i named my blog "under construction" is because i consider myself "under construction" Like when you walk past a construction site and see that they are constructing a new building. Thats what I'm doing. I am building a new me, someone physically, mentally, and emotionally stronger. As a start i want to post my body measurements on here and by the end of insanity i want to see how i change! Weight:140 Height: 5.4 Waist: 29 & 1/2 inch Hips: 37 & 1/2 inch Thigh: 23 &1/2 inch Chest: 35 inch Biceps: 11 inch Shoulders: 37 Butt: 40 inch Some info about me!! I am a singer, a dancer, and a vegetarian. I try my hardest to be a good person and to achieve everything I set my mind on doing. I dream very big and although a lot of people doubt me i keep going. My dreams are to become a professional in the entertainment industry and with that to some how make a positive change in the world.

I really with I was like this. But the truth is the mirror I look at only shows the disapointment of me gaining weight. I havnt lost anything at all. Ive been excersising and eating low calories no more that 1400 a day. I usually eat 1200 but mothing, I hope it happens soon because im getting discouraged :(

2 days of INSANITY in 1

I messed up pretty bad yesterday. I REALLY over did it on the junkfood. there was a carnival where they were giving out free food and I literally pigged out, I ate a hamburger without meat, some nachos, a cupcake, fruit,vegetables,macaroni salad, gummybears,pop corn, a lot that I SHOULDNT have eaten. I felt so bad that I went home and did pure cardio and cardio power and resistance. It was really tough and to be honest all that junkfood wasnt worth it. For the last week I have been eating mainly veggies and low fat foods. I felt the difference. 

no more junk food.

One of my non meat lunches

As I posted in my description I have taken up the vegetarian life style. Its been difficult because in my house there are not many meals cooked that dont have meat. So what ive been doing is making my own recipes and they have come out really good! Thisi is my vegetable and grilled onion rice bowl <3 healthy and sooo tasty!

I remember I used to stress about my ex boyfriend or anyone picking me up.The one time that he did he grunted and made a lot of effort to do it. It made me feel horrible it was at the beach and my family was there and they noticed. I felt so embarassed! so if im able to get to my goal weight i hope not to have to worry about that. Unless my next boyfriend is really wimpy.
