Week One!




Don't let the weight loss meter at the right fool you, I am truly only down 2 pounds! I mean I put the wrong information in on the My Fitness Pal so I am only down 2 pounds, not seven! I wish though! Seven pounds would be nice! But I am golden with two pounds down this week.
It was really hard this week to say no to somethings but it was easy to remember my end goals in sight!

What Worked/Success
- Eating more fruits and veggies:
  -Every morning I drink a weight loss shake, then for lunches I would make something small like chicken salad, and crackers, a sugar free jello/pudding, celery, peanut butter, and I would bring an extra granola bar or some carrots for the mid afternoon munchies. Being at work all day can really bring you down!
-I cut down the soda intake.
-Started working out a little but more.
-Sticking to the My Fitness Pal app. When you log your exercise you are allotted more calories to eat! The goal is to eat all of your calories for the day. But not by eating crap. It is OK if you have 50-100 left at the end of the day!

Failures
-Giving in to temptation! This did not happen a whole lot, but every now and again there would be that treat (the non skinny cow ice cream, or the cake) and that was it for me. But we all make mistakes. That is what makes us human. It is the not repeating that we need to learn!
-Not exercising enough. Plain and simple.

Goals for this week:
-Exercise at least 3 times this week
-Cut down soda intake to only 1 a day (which I did but make it DIET!)

Until Next Week!

The Ugly Truth

Image
I am sure you have all read the numerous blogs about the life changing transformations that men and women go through. Well I have too. I read them, and I think "well I can do that!". It is not until you stand in front of your mirror one day, and are trying to look good in the biggest item of clothing you own, which you just bought... it puts a damper on a girls mood. So by some stroke of genius I decided that it was time to truly full heartily commit to weight loss. Now let me tell you my story, then I will continue on with this one: So it is safe to say that my weight issues started in seventh grade. I am not pointing fingers at anyone to say who's fault my weight gain was. I used to think it was my mom and dad for all the pressure of weight loss they put on me for a long time. But it was just my stubborn mentality that I was fine. In Seventh grade I started on the Atkins diet, because we thought it was a necessary measure. Then it literally began from there. I knew ...

The Ups and Downs of the Weight Loss Rollar Coaster!

Image
Weight Loss... it is a rollar coaster! One minute you are doing completely wonderful... then you are down 20 pounds, then one day everything changes, and your weight goes from plus 5 pounds down 5 pounds, so on an so forth. The last few months of 2013 were hard. Not only with the Holidays, but my lack of self control, self confidance, and my motivation. Well for 2014 I decided to get right back on my weight loss, and my gym time. I started back on January 2, 2014 (let's face it, the first day of the new year does not count, it is still a holiday). I feel energized and I feel motivated! I have been to the gym 3 times, doing vigorous activity like the Arc Trainer. I took a day off yesterday cause I was ill... and I MISSED the gym! Today it is snowing and the roads look terrible, so I am not sure if I am going to make it tonight either... so I researched some great apps and videos. I have Hulu+, Amazon Prime, and Netflix to cure my need for video as well. Here is an App I found that...

An Update on Keto (progress pics included)

Hey there! I am 8 weeks on Keto and everything is going really well! Here are some highlights for you: I am down 9 Pounds Clothes are getting looser Easier to bend  Easier to walk More Energy I am an official size 24 in these "jeggings" from Maurices I love.  Downsides: Certain pants still don't fit around my belly, this is to be expected because I am just starting to lose in my butt and legs.  Favorite Keto Snacks:  Cottage cheese and berries Sugar-Free Jello (the actual brand Jello, none of this snack pack business) Starbucks Keto Drink After much searching and trying, I found it!  Venti Coffee Frap - replace the milk with 1/2 water and 1/2 cream, add 2 shots of sugar-free vanilla syrup. Almonds I am not a "HARDCORE" kind of a keto gal, I don't make food with coconut flour; however, I do try to make a few things like Keto Cookie Dough (linked in my last post) and I also just try to make sure to have cheese and other p...
