A whole new start!

Especially relevant during finals week

It has been a long time. I am not going to lie. I went off the bandwagon. I started at a new gym a couple months ago, and I have been going, but not as faithfully. Work has been stressful... moving into a new clinic this week, started my masters, trying to find a balance. Let us not forget the dreaded holidays! BUT that is no excuse. I have come to the conclusion that

A) I NEED to lose weight. It is necessary!
B) I MUST find a way to do it quickly to boost me up, then go back to counting calories and living that lifestyle.

The quote I picked for this post is so relevant to this mindset. So here is the plan!

LOW CARB!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is pretty easy to do... and I can eat anything. This is an adaption of the South Beach Diet. (Click here).

I am going to go on this simply because I can lose some weight to make me less discouraged. So I can see what may come. My parents are doing it and I feel like it is just easier. I used to say "I do not care" but now it is time to care...

Step 1: Lose weight
Step 2: Everything will fall into place
Step 3: Kick butt at life!

I will post more frequently and do weekly weigh ins. Just need to decide on a day. I might do Fridays or Tuesdays!

Catch you later!

The Ugly Truth

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

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

The Ups and Downs of the Weight Loss Rollar Coaster!

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
