I know most girls are out on Saturday night, but not me. You will find me on my treadmill taking 10,000 steps/5miles and burning over 800 calories while listening I’m Into You:) Why? Well, cause I wanna ass like J.Lo.
The person who is with you when you are nothing should be the same person you hold onto when you are something.
Everyone keeps getting married so…I thought I would share my what if I ever say I do dress. Vera Wang baby~
I would just like to say almost 50% of marriages fail. And, for some reason these stupid bitches keep getting married before the age of 35. I mean I’m just saying. Wasted money and wasted time. Haha! Better them than me:)
According to weight standards I have researched I am 100 lbs. overweight…Makes me wonder. Anyways so I have decided to keep an online journal of my food and exercise to see if I can lose a lot of weight. My personal opinion is that I am about 65lbs. overweight. I have weighed lots and little. Idk why I have been so obsessed with my weight lately; other than I have been seeing clothes I love, but cannot wear. Vanity? Possibly. Health? Well, when you see that by doctors standards you are 100lbs. overweight it is pretty scary. Both of my grandmothers died of strokes and I have the same body type of one and I look like the others twin. So…yeah I think its time to really get this thing together. I want to live a long, healthy life. Here’s what I am thinking, I will do a diet/exercise journal until from today October 6th to February 6th which I think is close to 100 days. At the end I will tell my beginning weight (because right now I am slightly embarrassed of my weight) and my new weight. I have decided to post photos and if I am brave enough in the next few weeks maybe even my measurements. After doing using an online calculator at Calculator.net : Free Online Calculators I found out I am pear-shaped which is in my opinion a nice, sexy shape, but I need to be a smaller pear…haha!
Still reading Veganist and still enjoying and learning so much! The first chapter is on weight loss (of course because everyone wants too) and so who wouldn’t want to try it?! The weight I lost on the no carb high fat diet came back! Just like I read it would. In Veganist Freston explains the loss from high fat, low carb diets is only water weight! And turns out, yep she is right, but now I know so… One of the things I enjoy most about Freston is she gives you facts and knows life changing things usually do not happen over night. She says “lean into it”. I love that. Yesterday was completely vegetarian for me:) Not vegan. I feel like that may take a little longer and yeah I might have some back slips like Chickfla or something, but hopefully not. Last nights dinner was super yummy! I had a black bean burger with tomato, mayo, pickle and sweet potato fries. Really good meal. I already feel better and I am hoping to be 23lbs light by my birthday on October 19. We will see. And I have been exercising everyday…
I have learned so much while reading. Just the first 20 pages taught me or re-enforced what most of us already know… the low carb high animal fat diet is for the most part unhealthy. And here’s the thing I was recently on it with my mom. Unfortunately she is still on this Atkins-esk thing because she is having weight loss and so did I at first, but I could see and feel some things happening to my body I did not like. Such as yes I did lose 10 lbs in less than 2 weeks, but I have not been visiting the umm…well toilet as much as one should. While the weight was coming off I began to feel moody and sluggish, never hungry and always full. And well I was full of….haha! Last night I ate 2 cups of brad buds with soy milk(while before this diet was a regular thing for me) and this morning…let’s just say I have lost all interest in low carb high animal at way of eating. Forever! Now I just need to tell my mom I feel I led her in the wrong direction with this nasty diet. Wait okay so it is not completely nasty, but it isn’t good for you. I mean it can be if you stick to eating the right veggies and small amounts of lean protein. Most people will not do that they will eat all the fatty stuff cheeses and high fat meat and lose weight yeah, but then risk colon cancer in the long run. My main problem is the extreme lack of regularity because it is so bad for you. I am not at the place where I am completely ready to cut out chicken and turkey( the only two types of meats I’ve eaten since I was in my preteens), but I feel it coming. And yes it may take awhile a long while. I have always wanted to be vegan/vegetarian, but its hard after being raised on fried chicken, mashed potatoes and pork gravy. And my mom makes the best Thanksgiving yumminess you could ever imagine.
So I started reading the book Veganist today. I am very interested in veganism. Since I do not eat or like eggs, milk, beef, pork or fish….. Well we will see. I will update what’s going on and interesting things I find out about weight loss, feeling better while improving health and… I guess whatever else happens. Wish me luck!
