Before After

update for the day

Ok so it's 1:30 am and I can't sleep! ugh! Today was great though. Started out kind of rocky but it ended well. My eating was great. i worked out for an hour and a half and I have finally quit weighing myself everyday. I realized that it's just not a good idea because you fluxuate so much. So I am only weighing every Sunday. I am getting married next Tues. in jamaica and I am sooo ready! woot woot! So excited. I am not at the weight I want to be to be in a bikini or to wear a wedding dress but that's ok. I am at the perfect time in my life, a great age, a great man!!! a good job..so all is right with the world. Well I hope everyone else is doing well!

 

My weightloss challenge

 So Hey guys! I just wanted to post this video of me. Over the weekend I climbed pinnacle mountain here. It was tons of fun and JP edited it. I hope you guys enjoy it!!



just bought skinny bitch!

 I do love this book! However it does make you want to go vegan. I don't think I can do that just yet but I have decided to take one thing at a time from the book and apply it to my life. I would def suggest reading it!

Not normally a britney fan!

 

But I thought this song was good for me right now...and not because of relationships..just because I feel stronger emotionally and mentally these days...
 
oh hey,yeah yeah 




Hush, just stop
There’s nothing you can do or say, baby
I’ve had enough
I’m not your property as from today, baby
You might think that I won't make it on my own
But now I’m

Chorus
Stronger than yesterday
Now it’s nothing but my way
My loneliness ain’t killing me no more
I Am stronger

Than I ever thought that I could be, baby
I used to go with the flow
Didn’t really care ‘bout me
You might think that I can’t take it, but you’re wrong
'Cause now I’m

Chorus
Stronger than yesterday
Now it’s nothing but my way
My loneliness ain’t killing me no more
I Am stronger

Oh Come on, now
Oh, yeah

Here I go, on my own
I don’t need nobody, better off alone
Here I go, on my own now
I don’t need nobody, not anybody
Here I go(fade), allright, here I go(fade to loud)

Chorus
Stronger than yesterday
it’s nothing but my way
My loneliness ain’t killing me no more
I Am . . .

Stronger . . .(than yesterday
now)that it’s nothing but my way
(My loneliness ain’t killing me no more)me no more


Now i'm Stronger than yesterday
Now it’s nothing but my way
My loneliness ain’t killing me no more(me no more)
I am stronger

THE FOOD PYRAMID!!

 

So i just went on to Mypyramid.com and I did my assessment. So this is what they said. I should have 3.5 ounces of whole grains per day.
Per week I need 3 cups of dark green veggies, 2 cups of orange veggies, 3 cups of dry beans and peas, 6 cups!! of starchy veggies, and 7 cups of other veggies. Oh and I am only allowed 6 teaspoons of oils a day. So so far that's what i ahve found out. Mypryamid really is a good resource. I need to come to the realization that this weight is not going to come off over night. IT"S OK TO LOSE ONLY 0.5 a week! It will come off eventually. I just need to be patient and EAT BETTER! Oh and also I've heard that calorie counter.com is a great site!

Happy Monday!!!

So I started my new job today. It was orientation and that continues through tomorrow. It wasn't too bad and my benefits are really really good! Yay!!! So I've been doing great with the working out but crappy with the eating. However, after watching many youtube videos last night I have decided to go shopping at the healthfood store tomorrow after work. I really want to try organic, non processed, veggies, fruits, and good things!!! I also need to learn to control my portions. That means whatever the package says is a servings size is what i can have. NOT THE WHOLE THING!!! I'm sure some of you know what I mean haha =] Welp tonight it's cardio X. I will try and post a video about that afterwards! So, talk to you guys soon. Also if you want to see my videos they are on youtube under thunderthighs43. I've been having trouble posting them on here for some reason??  

Need Advice!!!

 

Hey everyone! Hope everyone is doing great! I have been doing awesome with my working out. I've been staying on plan for that! However... i have bad news. My eating has been horrible!!!! It's like one day I will be all healthy and the next I'll do horrible ! So, I've decided that in the next couple of weeks after I come back from jamaica I am going to try and find a program to control the eating. I can't decide though. I know many of you guys have probably tried these programs..so just wondering if any of them have been successful for you? Any advice would be great. Thanks!
