hanging on till the end.
weighed in 217.
day one nonsmoker (will we ever get past 6 days?)
Morning everyone. I had a crazy week. I had a training course at work so I wasnt around much to post any new articles. Then this weekend I moved in with my aunt. So I finished this week at 217. One pound up from last week. Im ok with that though. I wasnt trying very hard during traing and moving. I chose to take the better alternative when it arose. I.E: salad instead of big greasy burger. or cheesy patato soup but no bread. Fish and beans but no tortillas. So I did much better then what I could have. I started my day today with a bowl of cereal. Haha and now Im rembering that as of tomorrow Nov. 1st I am officially vegan for a month. so what to do for breakfast. Rice milk time. : ) Im back on plan for today though. : )
The end justifies the means. As many of you know I have been having a tough time hanging on. It has as of today been 6 months since I started this lifetime journey. I have lost 38lbs. It is a huge accoplishment for me. : ) But im finding it tough to stick to plan. especially around all these holidays. (NOvember is birthday month in my family at least 10bdays) While losing 38lbs is a huge accomplishment I still have 77 to go. How do I find the will to keep going? How do I hold on?
- Visualize- One of the greatest things I have ever read was about visualizing the end result. What is it that you are striving to succeed. Visualize why it means so much to you. Why do you want it so badly and what do you think it will change? What will be different for you? What will you be able to do that you wouldnt have been able to do? What will you accomplish?
- Make a list of goals and your visualizations- Everyone knows Im obsessed with list making. Why? I am obsessed with lists because no matter how much you imagine and visualize. Those dreams never seem real till we make them concrete. My favorite way to make them concrete is through a list. Your dreams seem more real and attainable when your able to touch them and look at them.
- Check off your list.- Whats the point of visualizing and making goals if you never record when they are met? By looking and seeing the mini goals you have accomplished it will keep you inspired for the next round of a mini plateu or a small let down. You will be able to see the big picture. : )
Here are my examples.
My Why's and Visualizations for my weightloss and journey to health:
1. is to feel confident
2. feel comfortable in clothing (any clothing)
3. feel good in a bathing suit
4. go horseback riding
5. go rock climbing
6. run after my nephews without getting tired
8. feel sexy
9. dress sexy for my BF
10. shop at any store i want
11. love buying clothes
12. be happy
13. run a marathon
14. take a pose on a car
15. getting my nails done and knowing that my finished hands are just an accessory not the only thing i think looks pretty
16. live a long and healthy life
17. have children without it being high risk
18. twist and bend how I want
19. run with my dog
20. Know Im living life to the fullest

Winston Churchill: Never, never, never, never give up.
Harriet Beecher Stowe: When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
Lee Iacocca
You've got to say, I think that if I keep working at this and want it badly enough I can have it. It's called perseverance.

what to do when your not seeing results?
1 day non smoker
weigh in ??? didnt weigh in today
So last night I went way off plan. : ( I have been feeling really down and nervous about moving and about my plan seeming not to be working anymore. I know that me moving is for the best. I cant sleep almost every night and if I cant sleep how is my mind supposed to be healthy? I will still be seeing my family everyday so I know I will be fine. its just making this jump thats got me so nervous.
Also last night I went out to dinner with a great friend I havent seen in a while. We had a wonderful time catching up and talking. We ended up having a huge dinner. We had appetizer and meal. lol! We were stuffed. I havent felt that stuffed in a very long time and I didnt like it at all! Then after dinner I had a cigarette. So I feel pretty bad about that to.
New Plan of Action till December 1st:
1. Food intake-
Feeling alot better now that I have my plan mapped out. : )
From today on I will eat as healthy as possible with the resources I have at hand now.

Then the last few weeks I have been losing so slowly. Its really wearing me down. Im trying to look at the big picture here but its been getting a bit tough. This blog is supposed to be for myself to figure out my plans and write out my thoughts on paper. So thats what Im doing. I need to completly change my plan I think. Its not working right now and hasnt been working to well for a while. I think its time for actually eating HEALTHY again. When I first started I was eating half organic and half regualar. but basically all fruits and veggies. Its time for that again. No more fattening foods within my calories. The Only problem I face right now? Totally and completly flat broke till Friday! I want to be good now and start my plan now but I cant. I feel like Im going to be down in the dumps till Friday. I dont really like the idea of that though. So, I know I have to make the best of it.
I know that till Friday, I can only plan for my new plan. So that just what I will do.
New Plan of Action till December 1st:
1. Food intake-
- Stick to calories
- Count calories

baby steps in life.
day 6 nonsmoker
weigh in 216.2
Today is feeling like a baby steps kind of day. Just flowing with the day. Im almost to the end of my 90days personal challenge and im not going to make it. Ive also realized my hopes were a little to high. I knew I wasnt working out because of school and I knew Im still not the greatest with sticking to a completly healthy plan. i.e: pizza. although its in my calorie budget its not that nutrient filled lol. So i lost 1.8lbs over the weekend. : ) but now since im completly and utterly broke its time for me to really watch what I eat. No breaking down and going to the lunchtruck. (even if she doesnt charge me till payday) Today my dad sent me with two salmon steaks some mashed patatoes and greenbeans for lunch! So excited. : ) Today sticking to a healthy calorie plan and not going over on calories. thats the baby step goal for today. : )

A new tweek to plan... and Friday!
day 3 nonsmoker
weigh in 217.6
Its Friday and the week is just about over. Woo hoo cant wait till works over to. This weekend my BF wont be coming down to visit. I wont be going up to visit either. So this weekend is a focuse on protein. My plan consists mainly of calorie counting. I want to see if I can switch it up a bit though. For the last few weeks I have not been losing during the week and have been losing very slowly on the weekends. My 90 day goal challenge for myself will be over in 9 days. My weightloss has slowed significantly. I planes to lose 30lbs. I have lost 13lbs so far. I ahve 17lbs left. I know I will not force myself into harm in order to make that goal. I just realise that I need to change some stuff up. I have a daily allottment of 1,582 cals. Wich is a 1000 calorie deficit for my body type. This weekend I will only be eating non carb fruits and veggies and lots and lots of protein! I have the beef jerkey and the nuts to prove it! We will see how it stirs up my body and if its working well I will continue it through the rest of the month. : )
A couple of things to remember with counting your calories. Dont ever go over 1000 calorie deficit and dont eat under 1200 cals. Also never forget to calculate your calories for your individual weight, height, and age. If you need a calorie calculator please visit: http://www.loseit.com/ I use http://www.loseit.com/ its been quite accurate for me. : )
Day 3 nonsmoker- Yes Im actually in day 3 and i cant beleive it! Today I purchased a bag of beef jerky and a jar of nuts. lol today i will be snacking on both of them all day long! lol Not smoking make me have cravings and a bit of a hungry harry. I also have been having some major mood swings good thing the BF isnt here. He may find me to be a real witch. (replaced with a capital B...) Truly thats no understatement that comes from my own point of view.
Also another mini goal is slowly creeping up: 18.6lbs till I get these skirts.
My goal of Onederland comes with at least 2 of these four skirts and the other two shortly after. : ) Cant wait till 199!
The owner is the sweetest she is holding material for these handmade skirts just for me!
