Feeling good

Family photo! Big Brother Shane,
 Elizabeth, Ava, Eva, me

So last night I saw my big brother and sister in law, it was great! I am always in good mood when I see my brother. We went out for dinner at Seven Bridges, I'll confess now, I had a burger, fries and 1 beer. Cheat day. But I was very good all day and accomplished some walking as well. I'm working on figuring out a schedule for work, babysitting, exercise and play.

I think finding a healthy balance will do me a world of good. My day planner is about become my new best friend. Its good because its Fruits Basket themed and my best friend gave it to me. I'm finding that this journey I've started is multifaceted, it makes me look at my life see what I  want to change. I'm not a robot, but  a stronger, healthier me is awesome. I'm all ready seeing the change.

Obviously I was not happy with my status quo. Its a change for the better. I also love and hate weight lifting. I'm going to look into learning Braille. After all it most likely benefit me greatly in the long run. Also I'm trying to finish letters to my friends and sending out some handmade goodies.Well that's all for yesterday!

Being Productive

Today I was super productive, I conquered all my laundry, organized art supplies and picked up my room. I got my 20 minutes in of exercise. NO snacking today[on crap foods]!!!!

Felt good today, really good. Productive days are the best. Its good stay on the up when its there, I'm going to try and have great day tomorrow. I'm looking at learning archery.

I recently found some new resolve, it mostly involves my eyesight. But it is inspiring tome none the less. "I'm tired of people of telling me what I can't do, I'm going to whatever I want." That means archery,

The only person who can stop me is me.......! Light Bulb!  So to all nay sayers and negative nancies! BITE ME! :P

Catch up!

So I've been avoiding this some, why because I've been sleeping, resting and analyzing myself to a fine point. I have a serious fault its procrastination sometimes, Why do I let myself get in the way of myself. If I want to change I need to engage it wholeheartedly. I'm not a quitter, that's simply to easy.

So a plan of attack and follow through is what I am working on. I found my day planner and I'm going to sit down with put in exactly what I need to do each day. Check the items off for awhile. I need follow through on this its something I really want.

When you want something YOU WORK FOR IT........So here's to me working for it. I'm not even going to talk all the bad calories I consumed in Atlanta....Anyways back on track , back in saddle and let's go!

Day 3

Today was tough, I wasn't as pepped for my run. I really felt my kettle bell squats today. I had a great day played with my niece all day finished a new instructable. Today felt more like a battle with my treadmill. I was so frustrated but I finished it.

I kept picturing my self walking closer to a goal.  I upped my speed too so I burned out faster. But It felt amazing to finish I wanted it much more. There's a Glory in finishing something you set out to do. I shut up and just got ti done with it.

Alot for just 1.5 miles. But sometimes you tell yourself to just do something, Effort is very important to me, so I'm putting the effort in to get what I want. I did light snaking today but nothing heavy my niece and had crisis changing he bandage , me and blood are not friends. Dinner I made chicken tacos yummy!

Day 2

Day 2 was awesome I added in strength training. I started with 12 minutes in middle of the day, 50 reverse crunches, 30 push ups on the wall, 20 squats, 20 lunges, 20 jack knives,standing crunches and move called the Afro [Thank you Shaun T.]. Just to get some in middle of the day.The est of my day was spent playing with the baby which made up some active moves to keep the flow going.

I did my best not to snack. I had some cheese, then decided a bowl oatmeal would better suit my purposes. Came home and broke out my kettle bell.

I watched about 10 minutes of YouTube Videos on beginning Kettle bell exercises. After that I did about 15 more minutes of strength training with it. I felt a large amount of difference as I worked each one of techniques I had chosen .It was a lot fun. I tackled my 1.5 miles with Dory in my head singing "Just keep swimming." Dinner I made beef lo mien with whole wheat pasta. It was delicious.

IMPORTANT! Drink water....Drink Water.....Drink Water....!

I think its really important to enjoy working out. Also to want it. Like I said I want to put this behind me and leave it there. Time to stop hiding behind a mask even if it is a pretty one.

Day 1

First off today was a little slow to get started I was really sleepy most of day. but I cam home after babysitting and got my rear in gear. I completed 1.5 miles in 35 minutes at an incline of 4. All while watching cartoons and singing the theme song to the Bananasplits! I've been drinking my water all day too.

The one place I stumbled was candy today I had some M&M's and Starburst gummies.....But, after talking to my friend and coach she told me to put those calories into my workout and burn them off. I'm going to try and get some sleep tonight go to bed earlier so that tomorrow I can do some Rockin Body abs or start getting back into my HITT.

Also for dinner tried new recipe, I used Quinoa in my Jambalaya instead of rice. I used my first Poblano pepper. Very tasty!

Bye!

Turning Point

Today mark's the 5th anniversary of my Father's Death. Yesterday I had an epiphany at my brother's wedding while talking to his mom. I want to lose my weight for myself and put it behind me. I am not happy anymore with what and where I am.

This not going to be easy, nor will always be fun I'm human. I'm marking this day as my turning point. From here out I am going to work as hard as I can.

I would like in years time to be at my goal. If I can do some many amazing things, then I can do this.

Here's to shooting for an amazing year.

This week's goal:

1.5 miles jog/walk everyday and 3 days of Strength training.
