Day 1: October 3, 2010

(If this is your first time reading my blog please read "First things first" this will all make sense if you do. Thank you)

         Hi everyone,

         Well the first day started off bumpy; as it should be though it is not going to be easy at first. I just kinda forgot how hard it was going to be. I did not exactly boom, I am not a strict diet. I more like okay I am going to less. As of right now I'm pretty darn hungry still and it is 11 in the evening right now but I am fighting it.
          What I ate today was not exactly the best way to start but it is start. First I started off with a bowl of kellogs cereal and 2 spoons of sugar ( that's breakfast and I found it that I can have a big meal to start off the day) Sure it was not the best biggest meal in the world but it is better than what I did before meaning; I never really ate breakfast because I was not hungry and by the time I was hungry it was around the afternoon, where I would eat a lot, not good at all of course but unfortunately it has become habit of mine which I am trying to break.
           The next thing I had around noon was a corndog with ketchup & mustard just one and drank a lot of water after that to keep me from being hungry. Because usually when I think I am hungry I am probably just thirsty but mistake it for hunger. Hmm.. Maybe I am thirsty right now. Alright next thing I had a slice of cake terrible I know but it could have been worse I could have gorged myself in chips I had in my pantry or gone out to eat somewhere and oh boy did I want to go out to eat. I had cravings for yorgurtland and then my mother wanted chinese food yumm. All of sudden, this is totally my fault because I should not have been watching it; Man V. Food because they showed this really yummy burrito that had all sorts of food which had my tummy grumbling! However I fought the hunger. After that I went out shopping for Halloween decorations and I bought chocolates my weakness. However not for me but for Halloween night. I thought of it as a test for myself to keep away from them and try not to open them. I did pretty well on not opening them so a pat on  my back for me. After I got home, my mother had made dinner, now I strongly believe that home made food is good for me because it is all about eating smaller proportions when it comes to losing weight, which I did just that and I felt darn proud of that as well. Finally I went to school. Strange it went by real quick. I got home and my sister was eating popcorn. Now instead of grabbing myself my own bag like I normally would, I took two small handfuls from her another improvement for me.
          What about excercise you ask. Well today unfortunately I did not get to it. However I will tomorrow. I am not going to make excuses because it was my fault for not working out. I had it all planned out to go to hit the gym after english class however I freaked out and decided not to go. Tomorrow I will go though! That is a fact because I want to look good for December!
           Well this about sums up what I did today and the little subtle changes that I did with my eating habits it may not be dramatic but it is a start.

         I hope you find some motivation in all this.
         Have a good evening or good morning or even a good afternoon.

First Things First

         Hi everyone, I've been trying to get into a better shape than I am now, I've tried everything from ridiculous diets to exercising at home. None of it worked.

         A couple of days ago I was laying down on my bed, just day dreaming and what not and all of a sudden this brilliant idea popped out of my head! Why not share my workouts and things that I've done to improve my health; if that makes any sense. What I'm trying to say is all I needed was a little bit motivation from others and their feedback and what better place than a blogging site. I feel that this will be my ticket to my rockin' body!!
      
        I'm your average girl who wants to lose weight. First off I'm pretty tall (5"10ish) I'm big boned and have curves. So obviously I will not be able to get myself down to 120 pounds but I'm okay with that. I want a flat tummy, toned arms and legs and strengthen my stamina and more importantly my health. I want it to be done by December or at least improvements visually. I want to shed a few pounds. I am not going to say how many because it will not work out that way. I'll be killing myself and I don't want that; just knowing I lost a pound is good for me because it is an improvement. That is my goal. Obviously there are going to be some issues what with it being October, Halloween and the candy; oh boy I just can't get enough of the candy! Halloween is my weakness and the pies.... Yummy! I can't necessarily say I'm going to not eat this because I will but not as much as I would. Then there is November; turkey, turkey, turkey and all the other delicious foods it's going to be difficult to stay away or just have a small plate but not impossible. Lastly December; Oh my sweet December also so many great foods and desserts I mean who can resist? I know I can't but it doesn't mean I do not have control because I do and I will not over indulge myself like I normally would. These are the months that will make a difference for me. In the end of all this you and I will know how much I've lost or if anything has improved.

        There is another thing, I don't want this to be just about me, I want it to be about anyone who is going through the same thing as I am. We can help each other out! I know I am not alone, there are others like me who just want to look better or if you already look better maybe beyond that.

       I believe sharing what we did to improve our health will help us a lot, because we will have the encouragement that we don't have at home or anywhere else. The motivation that no one is giving us here!

•        Is this crazy?

       Maybe it is... But it's worth a shot and I BELIEVE that it will work. Think what ever you want to think. I want to help others and myself. This is what a blog site is; to write about any damn thing we want and that's what I am doing. I am writing what I damn want. Excuse my curse but it's the truth.

•      How is it going to work?

     Well I think it's going to work by writing down my progress on here and what I've done and ate and if I lost any weight or got toner and even done my first push up. Yes I've never in my life have done a push up but I want to! I would like to share that joyous moment for me with all of you! And if I haven't progressed then I'll let you know too. I know it will not be easy. Nothing is easy you have to work at it to get what you want. We will work hard however it will all be worth it in the end.

Wish me luck, I know I'll need it but I'm sure with others motivation I will make it.
We can do this if we set our mind to it anything is possible for us. In the end we shall celebrate our hard work and appraise each other for it.....

      Can't wait!!!
