Results

Lets see progress!! The craziest thing is I haven't lost a significant amount of weight scale wise. This weight loss thing is tricky!  On this journey honestly hard work getting up at times when I didn't want to made me work even harder. Healthy eating less and less fast food more and more salads and fruits and veggies. I was eating under 1,200 calories a day. I went to the gym 2 times a week I started running A LOT morning before work after dropping Mya off at school late nights after work doing at home workouts simple things like squats planks and jumping jacks standing side crunches with my kettle bell. I wasn't always focused but all of that combined over time got me where I am.  I only consume bone less chicken breast and fish no other meat. Staying focus and doing it for you will bring the results you hope for. Take a look below to see how far I've come. December 2014 vs October 2015 And the journey co...

MapMyRun App

I have fallen in LOVE with this app. Now for starters I DO NOT allow this app to get to my head about how many calories are burned then again I don't even believe the treadmill either in any case I like to see the miles ran and the pace kept. I highly suggest this one on top of it being free it also shows you others who are using the app and their routes and how many miles those routes are so for example say you want to run 2-3 miles or whatever your preference instead of having to check the map every so often so see how far you've run you'll already know. Also, depending on your settings the little lady will tell you your pace etc every so often. I think my next task will be to run a mile at a faster pace since I seem to be stuck at 13-14. Again the App in the Apple Store is MapMyRun.                               

Hydroxycut

It has been one week since I started taking the pills and it has helped tremendously. Now I am eating under 1600 calories and exercising more constantly. The first five days I took 1 pill twice a day.  On the sixth day which was Saturday I started taking 2 pills twice a day. The only thing that did bother me was the evening of the first day I got light headed after the second dose and I had a tummy ache however I had the same pain before I even thought to take the pills so I can't necessary give the pills the credit for that. I haven't experienced anything other than those mentioned.  I am pretty happy with the results this far. I am only taking them until my birthday which is October 27. So that's the dead line I've given myself. While I am actually thinking about it I need to read the bottle again just to be sure they don't have me taking more pills after 8 days. My next post will get more detailed about the pills as there are a lot of things I have read a...

Wednesday Recap!

So I need to stay true to what I put on this blog. Yesterday I consumed the following! Breakfast 1/2 Whole Wheat Bagel with Peanut butter (Less than 1/2 of a plastic spoon) Lunch 1/2 of my Parmesan shrimp with noodles Snack Glade Snack bag of Honey Nut Cheerios Dinner Bowl of steamed Cauliflower and Broccoli portion size two servings

Guilty Pleasures

Hey!! So right now I feel like shit. I ate about 4 wings and I know damn well I shouldn't have. And the worst part is I can't even count the calories because I don't know how many per wing. *sigh* Just makes me want to hit the gym right now. I can't I'm here at work until 6:30 maybe 7:00. I don't know why I think those 4 wings automatically added fat to my body. It's all in my head. I ate a full bowl of streamed cauliflower and broccoli last night and in all about 1,000 calories. Actually the past 3 days I've ate under 1,000 calories each day. I'm actually suppose  to consume around 1,600 calories  daily. I think now that I am so focused I need to learn to be patient. Right now I am 100% more healthy than I've ever been. I know I can't be hard on myself. But I could be working out so much more then I am now. With that being said  tomorrow morning I will be running so that's a 5:00 am run and based on timing tomorrow evening I...

Love Having A Girl

Hi People! I'm back! My lovely daughter and I just finished our walk/run for this afternoon! So proud of her!! (insert heart eye emoji) She's my true bestie!! I wouldn't change a thing! (Off track here) Schools out my gym doesn't have a care center for children so I get my fitness in when I can, plus she loves it! 2.20 miles I like this!!! I've been active since Saturday evening walk/run with Danielle and Bruno!! Pure Love! Tomorrow will be my rest day plus my knee has started to bother me a little. In about two weeks I'll be doing a testimonial, I want to make sure I see difference and results before I even mention a name. That's all for now! I'll update you on my meal choices later this evening. Peace & Love

Bummed NO GYM

Good evening! So I didn't get my gym in tonight but I did hit the streets for 2.40 mile run/walk. I did run more so than I walked. I felt energized motivated all around good. This working out thing is extremely addictive. I'm calling it a night! Until tomorrow loves keep it up!

Welcoming Myself Back, yet again!

Good Afternoon Loves! This is my first post since September 2nd. And I finally joined a gym!!! Planet Fitness.

I've been slacking.

Hi Everyone! I'm back! I have been slacking on keeping this thing up to date. Any who I'll include the photos below so that you can see I have yet to give up again. I mentioned before that running is my new found love but I have to say walking has become a love of mine as well! Being active in itself is very important to me. What I have noticed is you can be active in many many ways. This past Monday I didn't make the gym or my walk/run so I thought I wasn't active however I looked at my iPhone Health app and between cleaning the entire morning and walking to and from my daughters school I  averaged 4.6 miles. Whoop! Photos below

Starting yet another Day 1

Whom am I fooling? Any who.  My goal is to make it past Day 3 lol.  I'm focusing on the workouts not so much as the food however I am still eating rather healthy. Running is my new found love!  I've always wanted to be a runner well be able to run without feeling like its the end of the world.

Catching up!

Oh My! You probably think I've given up! And you know what I did kind of.. But I got back on track and I am more focus than I have ever been. Anyone who's started a weight loss journey knows the trials but I am as mentally ready as I am ready to fit into my old jeans!!! Whoop! So, I am doing 7 days well 9 days of NO MEAT and a list of other things like bread snacks nothing but fruit and veggies. I have until this coming Wednesday, Feb 25th. I then plan to add a detox water every day since I'll be adding in chicken and fish to my meal plan. So that's it for tonight I'm going to add a few photos to catch you up. I am working out EVERY single day. My first time at an actual gym was yesterday morning 30 min walk at 4.0 speed 2.0 incline. May not be much to the next person but it did me some justice then I walked for about another 40 minutes through the shopping center.  Until tomorrow!  Peace and love!

Day 3

Not a great day for me. Posting my picture from dinner. Will resume back to my daily schedule tomorrow.  My apologies!

Sisters.

I will say the most important part of this journey for me is having a support system. I thank GOD for my beautiful sisters! I want to thank Danielle for being a motivation as she started and stuck with your weightloss journey and she looks damn good! My sister Nicole for starting this with me without that push for Jan. 2 I may still be on and off. We got a late start but we are on track and I know the results will be fabulous honey!!!  Whoever this reaches and if your on the same journey as I lets start a motivational team no matter your location.

Soooo I am super excited my Black Girls Workout Too DVD comes in today!! Can't wait to get this on and popping. 😒😏 It has arrived!!!! I am so happy!! The best pick up because this morning has been ruff. 

Day 2

Good Morning! Well I didn't work out again after the morning workout. 😔 But I will be getting a good workout today! I went to bed incredibly late which means I could have worked out but I've said that to say I  still got up and made a quick breakfast and packed lunch with snacks (will include pictures later). Very proud of that because usually I run out the house with no breakfast and not only spend up to $15 😩 for lunch and breakfast while at work I eat unhealthy. So YAY for me!! Saving coins and eating healthier. Breakfast  Wheat toast peanut butter with banana slices. ( OK it's like my fav but this will be the last day this week for it!) Snack 1 Mini Pretzels Lunch  Spinach leaves, brown rice, cucumbers, tomatoes, feta cheese, and light Caesar dressing with a wheat tortilla Snack 2 Veggie chips  Dinner  TBD Snack No snack Did not take a picture of breakfast or lunch but both were delicious will follow up on dinner!  Update on today's workout! 20 minute...

Day 1

Good morning! My last post was back in December of 2014 it is now January 6, 2015. Today I did my first workout and it was under 30 minutes am I ashamed a little did I push myself in those minutes I did. I am not satisfied but I am happy that I took the step to at least get this far. I will continue to encourage myself to be more fit, healthier, and happier. I've also started eating healthier I just now need to eat proportional. I actually was a big girl went to the grocery store and purchased healthy foods! It will take time and I am not where I want to be but I will get there. I will. Maybe in another hour I'll make my veggie omelet!
