Before After

Wonderful Cookbook

I went to the book store today to find a good cookbook with low calorie items, and I found the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook for weight loss. It is awesome. Everything looks amazing. I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and cook myself breakfast. Will let you know how everything goes.

Weight loss and Football!!!

Today was an amazing day. My Dolphins won and we are going to the playoffs. I am so happy that I am loving the fact that I will be giving up smoking as of tomorrow and will be in the gym and on a 1200 calorie diet. The way I see it......If the Dolphins can go from a 1-15 season to an 11-5 season and make it to the playoffs then I can get my butt moving and shaking and get rid of the weight that I have gained.

Can't wait to go grocery shopping tonight for all the wonderful things I will be eating this week. And definately can't wait to get in the gym tomorrow.

Til next time,

GOING FOR THE GOLD!!!!

So today I am getting a little anxious. I am splurging like crazy because I know that Monday is the day that I will be in the gym working my butt off again with a limited food menu. I feel bad for eating those 6 pieces of pizza today because I know that I could have just as easily ordered a salad for delivery. No time to sweat it now.

I am getting really excited for Monday. I am excited because now I have a support system. This site is great. I have already found many people that share my struggle and I can't wait to be able to post a blog titled.....MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!

Until next time.....

Day two of motivation period!!!

So today is the second day of trying to motivate myself. I have determined that the best thing for me to do at this point is to set a start date and run with it. I will be starting on Monday the 30th which I understand is New Year's Eve, but what better day right?

I am currently 168 lbs and I really want to get back to my old figure before meeting my boyfriend (125lbs.) but I would definately be happy if I just get somewhere in the 130's.

Here's the plan................

Eat a 1200 calorie a day diet

Workout 4 days per week

Quit smoking

Stop drinking alcohol and soda

I also think that buying something fancy that I love in a smaller size might motivate me even more to lose weight so that I can fit into it. Let me know what you think.

Until next time

And so it begins.........

 So today was Christmas and as I sit here bloated to all hell from all the crap that was shoved in my face today, I feel sad. Sad for the fact that I seem to never finish anything that I have started. Sad that I still must call myself a smoker. Sad that the really cute clothes that everyone purchased for me must be exchanged for bigger sizes. Sad that I am exactly where I was this time last year.

It has finally clicked in my head that there needs to be a change. I no longer want to have to do the fresh jeans out of the dryer dance so that my belly fat doesn't hang over the side. I am tired of feeling as if everyone if looking at me saying "well isn't that sad". I don't want that anymore. I am tired of trying to hide my figure. I am done. And I can't wait for new year's for another broken promise to myself that I will lose weight this year.

I started back in August strong and lost 10 lbs within a months time. Then for whatever reason I stoped going to the gym, stoped eating healthy and stoped being proud of myself for my accomplishment. And now I sit here with those 10 lbs plus hanging off my figure wondering if this time will be different. I want it to be different, but at this point with so many failed attempts under my bulging belt, I just don't know. I am hopeful that using this website for support, I will stay on the right track.

As of now my plan is to eat 1200 calories a day. 5 days in the gym each week with lots of cardio. That's it for now. Keep it simple.

Until next time.

xoxo,  Angela
