week 2

Hi! Im back,
 About a week later, I think weekly is a little more realistic for me to write. That way I wont feel pressured to do it everyday.
      This past week I've completely failed at watching what i ate. Milkshakes, Mcdonalds french fries(twice, once with 2 cheeseburgers), cookies, sodas, sugary coffees, desserts. ugh. 
      BUT today is a whole new day, this week will be a whole new week. And with the crazy weekend of my sons 2nd birthday, I will probably be wanting to pig out! but I really need to do this, for me.
I really want to lose this weight. I want it really badly. I want to feel good about myself, fit my clothes. 
       So I just finished a 50 min workout, working on all different parts of my body. from yoga, aerobics, to some strengthening exercises. I had a lot of fun. Threw my ipod on and went for it. I really thought working out late wouldn't be the best thing to do, BC then I'd be lazier throughout the day BC of not getting enough sleep. But Im able to make myself do it at night rather than waking up early.  Its either late or really early. I just need to train myself that getting up early would probably make me feel better throughout the day, with a healthy diet. Working out at night feels great! Its so quiet...well...all you hear is the sound of Father and Son sleeping heavily :/ but i just really need to set my mind,body and soul to it and find out which time of the day i like better! Im open to opinions and motivation! Whoever is out there reading, thank you and just pray that i keep on going!

Hi...
I really don't know who would be reading this. But I needed a place to write my thoughts, that wasn't Facebook or Twitter. So I hope it works.


Recently I've been looking for something to keep me motivated with one of my greatest obstacles, my weight. I'm a 24 year old mother. Since the birth of my son on 2009, My weight has been something I haven't been able to control. No excuses, I know the problem is me. I have complained so much about my weight but I can NEVER just do what I need to do to lose it. I guess its just laziness ignoring that little voice that screaming at the top of its lungs telling me to get the hell up and do something, DONT EAT THE CAKE! But, of course, I eat the cake, with a huge cup of whole milk, then maybe another slice. Skip breakfast and have a piece of sweet bread. I can go on for hours about my terrible eating habits. From my examples you can tell that sweets are my issue. I have to learn how to say NO. 

OK, so obviously I will be here to share how this journey to weight loss will be. So here we are in the beginning, at 202lbs(which was 185 about 2 months ago). Hopefully I can get down to 140lbs in the end. I will be starting off slowly. Before starting off too drastic,I will be making small goals for myself. Like these 3  goals. 


1. Drink water! it's always that ONE glass of Soda that makes you say, "Oh well, another wont hurt" Absolutely nothing but water


2. At least 30 min of cardio a day. 


3. No more sweets. But I need a substitution  Any suggestions? a piece of fruit? chew on my finger?....ouch. that wont work. something that will take away the craving. when I figure it out I will let you know. 


I believe that just these 3 things will really make a difference. At least for me. 


-Just to make it clear, my son has  great eating habits. I will never allow him to eat like me. Of course I let him try things but never let him go too far and help him understand that he should be happy and satisfied with what he did get. He has no idea what fast food is. I just wanted to put that out there. It would be a great thing if I had as much discipline with myself as I did with him. Sooner or later he will say "why do you get to eat like that Mom?" I need to set a great example for him, also so I can be healthy enough to keep up with him.


SO, HERE WE GO! stay tuned...
