Time For A Change

So, I’ve fallen off the track. All year, really, I haven’t been on it, which is just awful. I’ve gained weight back, of course, but not nearly all of it, so at least that’s good. But I don’t like how I look, I don’t like that I keep making myself unhealthy, and it needs to stop. I have to make changes for the better and I need to stick to them. 

I’ve returned to this blog so I can get myself motivated and see pictures and words of wisdom and remember that I can do this, that I’ve done this before. 

I have 6 weeks of winter break that I need to use to push myself back onto the track, get into an exercise routine and eat better foods. 

I’d really love any words of advice or encouragement that you have to offer, it really would be helpful.

I hope that everyone is doing well!

Thank you. (:

I don’t know my exact weight right now because I have multiple scales in this house and I simply don’t trust them lol, I prefer to trust my measuring tape for results. But, taking my scales into consideration, I weigh approximately 210lbs.

So in 11lbs, I’ll weigh less than 200lbs which hasn’t happened in I don’t know how long, so that’s superexciting.

In 40lbs, I will no longer be obese according to the BMI calculators, I will be overweight at 170lbs, which is nice to know.

In 50lbs, I’ll weigh what I initially wanted to weigh to start off when I first decided to lose weight, 160lbs.

In 65lbs I will be at a “normal” weight according to BMI calculators, which is also superexciting.

I mean, I need to see how I feel about my body as I reach each of these goals and see what I want to be happy with how I look, on top of making myself a healthy person. But it’s nice to see these goals laid out, and it makes it look like 65lbs isn’t that much to lose. I mean, I’ve lost 30 or so pounds since I started all of this, so I just need to do that 2 more times. I can do it! (:

So, half way though last summer I started this blog and my journey to losing weight, and I did really well.

School started in the fall, and things changed. The fruit and vegetable eating, exercising all the time me kinda disappeared. Luckily in college life there is lots and lots of walking, so though I did not eat as well as I should have, I had mastered portion control over the summer, and had plenty of walking that made it so I continued to lose weight. Slowly, but surely.

Well now it’s summer again. I lost the good eating way back in the fall, and I have now lost all of the walking that my body got used to everyday.

I’ve lost so much weight, the very last thing I want is to spend a summer gaining it all back.

So today I return to the me of last summer, and now I have an entire summer instead of half of one to get myself back into some very good habits both with eating and exercising that can then hopefully stick with me when I get back to school.

I return to this blog for the inspiration and support that really pushed me last summer.

Hoping for the best. (:

So much.

That not working out in forever followed by doing 30 Day Shred = ow.

I woke up like “wow I must have slept really wrong last night!!” and then was like ohwaitno, this is the muscley pain of exercising. Riigghhtt.

Oh well, it’ll stop eventually. xP

Me. I have been lame.

But it’s okay, it happens. My winter break has pretty much been a month of me being a lazy bum and not eating well. There were times when I was active, but not enough for it to really count.

But luckily, something in me was somehow reinspired again the other day.

So starting this week, and continuing into next week (when school begins again,) and then into the future, I’m back on track!

I started 30 Day Shred again. I didn’t finish by like a week last time I did it, this time I will do it all. I’ve taken new before pictures for it and everything. And though it was hard, it felt good to know that I’m being active and working harder on my health again.

I still hope to be an inspiration to myself and to others, just like everyone I follow inspires me all the time.

I should be back with more frequent updates now!

I hope that everyone has been doing wonderfully. (:

You know, this has been a really rough semester for me. And it hasn’t gone the way I had imagined it at all, and that includes in the region of weightloss. I haven’t been eating or exercise the way I should be, and that was bad.

But I’ve still come so far in my weightloss, I’m still losing weight, and there’s no time like the present to start doing an even better job.

I’m going to start eating more of my fruits and veggies again. I’m going to choose healthier snacks. I’m going to exercise AT LEAST 3 times a week. And little by little I will start doing more things that will make me even healthier than I’ve been again.

It’s a life choice and a change that I told myself I’d make, and stress won me over to ignoring it. That’s going to stop, because I know that healthy choices and exercising won’t only help my weightloss, but will also help dispose of some stress!

Have a wonderful week and a Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I’ve still been losing inches!

Unfortunately, I really haven’t been eating as well as I should. And I haven’t been going out of my way to exercise like I should. But I have been losing weight still, I just need this hell of a semester to end so I can be more successful when I try to kick the weightloss up a notch. (:
