Too far gone time to come back!

Getting back on track

Sorry I haven't blogged :( between school work and working out, its been tough! I must also admit that I got off track from working out and eating right for 2 weeks, now I am back on and ready to go! I plan on losing another 20-25 by June 15th and 50 by Sept 15th. Then I shall reassess my goals.  I am cutting wheat out of my diet to see how that will work! Any suggestions let me know :) that's all for tonight,

Support!

I know it has been a few days, :/, between school, work and working out I've been super busy! I am so happy with my self I am so motivated to keep going!!! I'm almost half way to my goal for June :)!!! I'm soooo excited! One thing that has kept me going is my Faith and Trust in God! Another is all the support I have from everyone! But I must say my parents have been the biggest! I am loving life at this moment I've lowered my body fat % almost 5% in the past month! I know this weight is going to come off, and I also know that it is going to take time! It's always going to be easy, but it is getting easier for the main part (eating right and working out)! I'm just better all around and I am proud of myself :)!!

Wow yesterday was a good day! Im still trying to figure out what is up with my tailbone, good thing is that I can walk/swim and do arm and ab workouts and stretching is great! Unfortunately it hurts like heck to sit down :( hopefully I will have this figured out by the end of the week! I am not letting it stop me from obtaining my goals!!! I took my dog for a nice walk yesterday evening, I was going to just do a short walk (20min) but when I am out there, I just keep pushing through, ended up doing 2.5 miles and burned 709 cals! I am very blessed and thankful that I live in such a beautiful state and can walk outside without freezing in Feb, I know I need to take advantage of this! One thing I have done, is thank God everyday for giving me the strength to get up everyday and succeed at what I need/want to do. I have said in the past "Oh I'm going to lose this weight" or "I'm going to change". But I never truly thanked God for giving me the strength to do such. Now I try my hardest to not forget to thank Him, (I have Faith and I believe he is the reason I am succeeding the way I am.) Yes my Family and friends are helping also, but I know it is the reason why before I was not able to surpass that 10lbs and then fall off or change my life. So I do believe that he is giving me this power and strength and opening my eyes to see how I am going to do this and that I CAN do this.  It has been 1 month and 2 weeks that I have actually stayed on track/continued with this change, I have overcome the hard weeks and know that it is going to get harder, but also easier from this point on! Since I have hit my first 20lbs, my next short term goal is to lose 10lbs by March 10th aka Spring Break! I would also like to fit into a pair of shorts that I have never been able to fit, today I tried them on and measured how many inches I need to lose which is 5inches! So each week I plan on changing my diet and exercises to shock my metabolism! One conflict I have hit is balancing school and my weight loss...I must stay motivated in both!!!! So I am also starting another goal, which is to get my my papers done ahead of time and to stayed focused and obtain a 3.0-4.0 GPA semester. This is not only about weightloss or getting healthy its is about a Lifestyle change, which means academically, health, financially and work. I have always struggled academically until last semester, I obtained a 3.0 GPA! that was HUGE for me, so If I maintain a 3.0 or higher and make my 50lb goal by the end of the semester, I will be on cloud9! SO If you see me slipping, please please please give me that kick... I know my mom will,  as she does everydayyy! lol and also my Dad. I am off to bed now, lol it's too late and I am waking up early! Goodnight all and I hope everyone is still on Track!

Keep Pushing!!!

20lbs

Woo Hoo!!!! 20lbs down!!!! Yay!!! So happy!!!!!!! I am so motivated to lose the rest! :)! We can all do it!

Ordering to go!

We ordered to go tonight, I ordered a turkey/veggie burger, w/mustard cheese, an avocado, tomato and onion (they forgot my avocado) as ordering i asked if they cooked their burgers in grease/butter and if they did, to hold off on it for my burger. They asked if i wanted fries, I said no and was offered a side salad instead, dressing on the side, no toppings. When I returned home with dinner, I topped my salad with a handful of feta cheese,craisins,almonds and light raspberry hazelnut vinaigrette dressing. Simply changes help make for a healthier meal :)! Also the person who took my order was very nice and patient! So dont be afraid to ask!!!

Rest day

Good Morning! I did not get a chance to blog yesterday because i sleep in on Fridays and work all night! I was going to post while at work but it just got extremely busy!!! What a night! Before I went to work I made my dinner which was asparagus, onions, and turkey meatballs, it was pretty good! One thing I have been struggling with is eating green veggies :/! At work I drank a cup of yummy tea (no sweeteners) had a cheese stick a protein bar and I had roman noodles for a mid snack, they made me sick though. I believe the roman made me sick because of the high amount of sodium, which I have not been consuming and the simple carbs (white noodles). I love that my body is rejecting foods that are not good for me, this makes the journey all that much easier! I'm going to be honest, I had a craving for Krispy Kreme donuts this morning on my way home. I got some, because you CAN allow yourself these items (just in moderation and not too often), again I am not depriving myself. I ate a few, but again the simple sugar has me not feeling so well currently :(. So do not deprive yourself, or else you will be miserable, get what you want, just cut it in half or make sure you are not eating it too often! Again MODERATION is key! I am off to sleep for now, I need to rest my tailbone and eyes. I will post later whe. I wake up :)! Today's Tip: moderation :) don't deprive yourself, If you want it, have it just half the amount and do an extra 30min of exercise! Keep Changing for Better Cristian :)
