I’m Back!!!

Hello,

I am sorry I am not good at posting especially when I feel like no one is really paying any attention to me. But now I am back to keep a journal of my progress. Even if no one is reading this, I am doing this for me to keep me somewhat accountable. So here I go with my first day in awhile. I had an acai bowl at home which I accidentally put too much peanut butter. I need to work on portion size. I had 32 oz of water so far. I am trying to drink 3 32 oz bottles of water a day lets see how that goes. One step at a time right?

Thoughts

I have been doing a lot of research on eating vegan and I want to make the big leap but something always pulls me back. I believe the labeling is what kills me. Therefore, I won’t consider it becoming vegan. I will consider it eating a healthy lifestyle. I will be eating meat, but I will be eating it less as much. My goal is to become healthy. I have hypothyroid which makes me tired and even though I am taking the pills I do not see a difference. I might add I haven’t been taking the pills consistently which I should to actually see a difference. I also think it has to be the way I am eating as well. I don’t enough veggies and fruits so that is why I am trying to change my eating habits. Just some thoughts I wanted to share. If you have any advice please share!

Update

Hello for anyone who is reading this, just wanted to give an update. If you read my last post I obviously failed on my part. I had a rough semester and I kind of gave up. I shouldn't be making excuses up and I'm sorry. Since I have a month off of school I want to dedicate my time on taking care of my self. Which means I will be going to the gym at least 5- 7 times a week. I will be attempting to eat more greens and fruits by eating vegan most of my meals. I am slowly transitioning to vegetarian/vegan, I am taking my time though. I am also studying for the cbest and cset exams. I will keep you guys updated weekly and I will post as much as I can. I'm not even sure if anyone is reading this but it is helping me. Adios amigos 😙

The Challenge

So my friend asked if I wanted to do the 21 day fix with her. I decided to take the challenge. Starting tomorrow I will be eating better and doing a workout video a day! We will send pics of our meals and our work outs to stay accountable. Another idea is that I will post at least once a week about my progress. Looking for an outcome!

Stressed out

My brain is fried, literally. I have no motivation to do my homework and with the recent headaches I have finally given up on pushing forward. The struggle is real. This semester has sucked in so many ways. I feel like a fool. A stupid one at best. I may have given up for this semester, but I won’t allow that to happen again. I can’t allow it because in the summer I will be doing a serious program that I will have to take a loan out for, but it is worth it. I will have about $20,000 to pay off and I do not want to add to it unless I decide to get a masters degree. At the end of it all I will be done with school sooner and I will be at the university I have always dreamed of going to. If all goes well I could be a teacher by the end of 2018!!!

The struggle

I am so overwhelmed by life right now. It is time to focus and to do the best that I can. Do not give up! Good news is I will be signing up to this gym and commit to doing the boot camp. That means I have to wake up at 5! I think the lack of exercise is why I am always tired and the lack of proper sleep and not eating the proper foods. One step at a time!

Days like this...

It's days like this where I feel hopeless It's days like this where I feel lost Where I feel lost in my mind Where I feel like I can't move forward Where I feel like I can't fix what I have done to myself It's days like this where need support It's days like this where I need motivation Where I need to stay focus Where I need to see the future Where I need to achieve my goals It's days like this where I need to ignore that voice in my head Ignore the sense of laziness that creeps up on me daily

Say what???

So I have been eating pretty recently the past 3.5 days and let me just say I feel a huge difference! I weight myself last Thursday and I was so disappointed because I gained all the weight back that I had lost 6 months ago. After eating decently for 3 and a half days I have lost 2 pounds! It's not a lot but diet does play a huge role!

My Goals 2016-2017

My main goal is to lose 30 pounds and get strong! My current weight is 172 and I am 5′3′’. Ideally, I want to get down to 140 but I haven’t been that weight in years. However, I am not giving up!!! I will be working extra hard to get to my goals, but I won’t be speeding up the process by no means. I will be eating better and going to the gym as much as I can even if its just 30 minutes! I will be posting pictures of the foods I eat and my goal is to eat at home more and making delicious vegetarian meals and desserts (even though I do not consider myself vegetarian) I hope you all can join me in the journey that I am heading towards because the support is very much appreciated. I will tell you all now that I know I will fail many times, but it’s getting right back up that counts! Talk to you all soon! :)

What has been happening???

well not literally...I have just been doing life and realized something is missing and something isn’t improving. My health has been a roller coaster and I am finally fed up with it. I am starting at this moment in life to really take care of me. I will be documenting what foods I ate and the workouts I have been doing. I feel like people on here are very motivating and encouraging in a huge way. I will be posting some selfies here and there, but it will be mostly writing. I bought a new camera so I am looking forward to using it. My life will be changing in a blink of an eye and I am so happy that I can share it with you guys!!!

Update!

Hello everyone, Its been awhile since I have posted anything. Well I have recently decided to join my college's cross country team! I am so excited to be in a team again and I know I will get back into shape in no time! I will be taking a class in the summer to prepare myself so I will basically get into shape by the end of the summer! This is a new experience since I haven't done cross country before so I'm really stoked about it! If you have any tips please share!

Questions???

Hello, I was talking to my mom and she was telling me that in order to get a lean women body I shouldn't be doing any heavy lifting. Is that true? But she belived that we can do weights just light weights. Also, I have bad joints- weak wrists, hands, knees, and ankles. Is doing heavy weights bad for my weak wrists?
