Fitspirational Tuesday

I keep coming in and out of building a habit. For a while I gave up once again and just got fed up with how much I seem to keep falling back. This time I made the decision to take it extremely seriously.

It's been a week and I have been eating properly. Sure there were a few things here and there I did not have to add to my diet, but by keeping a food journal I am able to look back at what I ate. I now can see what I need to do to adjust my eating habit. I also took the initiative to work out yesterday. It might not be much but it is a start. I am giving myself a month to get into a healthy habit. If not I think I am going to see if I can get a trainer to help me out.

I know that I can do this myself. I am determined and to be honest it's been week one and I have not had a glass of beer either. I think I will be fine if I keep my mind on the prize. It is about being fit and being healthy, but I am not going to lie about wanting to fit in my old clothes. I gave my friend most of my clothes from when I was skinny because I can barely fit into it. It's embarrassing when I have to give clothes away because it is just too small for me now.

I am starting to work out to my old Jillian Michaels DVD's. I have tons of confidence that it will go well I just need to keep my head in the game. Hopefully I don't give up, but I'm sure once I start seeing results I won't be turning back. I have confidence that I will do fine. Sean was telling me that I have an obsessed or addictive personality. When I try something and I like it I push myself to do it. A good example is my gardening. He was saying once something sparks my interest I constantly work at it. He's right and I just need to get my mojo going with working out and putting out a specific image out there that I want for myself.

I think I should be fine! I have faith.

It's time for another round of Fitspirational Tuesday! I can't believe I lagged on this after I had just mentioned having a goal for my blog. I was pretty swamped yesterday and I just didn't have the time to sit down and just work on my blog. I'm making up for yesterday by posting today.

What's the big update with me? I have changed my eating and so far it has been 6 days of eating healthier. I have given up on beer and even though it sounds delicious by the time I am off work I drink water instead. To be honest I am still struggling with the eating, but it's not as difficult as it used to be like when I first started. The first few days were a killer and there were times when I wanted to just go to In N Out and grab a burger with animal style fries.

I probably should be embarrassed that I posted this picture! Please excuse the mess in the background as well. I guess you can say that I'm not fat, but I do feel overweight since I've gained so much weight back. I have one straight shape and I need more curves than this and the good kind, haha. I have been resorting into doing my crazy walks over the weekend. I try to stay active at home by moving around often and cleaning. I may not working at the gym but I do what I can once I get home from work.  I have also been eating a lot healthier like I have mentioned and here are a few meals that I've been having on the daily.

This is what I have been eating for lunch and dinner for the past week. Okay, similar meals but you catch my drift! I have been eating lots of either Ezekial or Whole Wheat bread. I have also cut down on the oil and have either been baking or steaming my veggies. I have been making sure that I do not overeat. I try to drink water before any meal that way I can get full faster. I am starting my journey slow, but at least I'm starting to work on my goal rather than having it just sit in the back of my mind hoping for a change. My goal is to lose 5-10 lbs. this month and I think I can do it!

Instead of me writing about Inspirational Tuesdays life how I normally would on my previous blog I figure why not write about something I am completely struggling with as an inspiration to myself.

I would have to say that I've always struggled with weight my whole life except I never really cared about is as much until after I had Ryu. I love Ryu, but let's face it not every woman will be lucky enough to go back to the size that they used to be. I feel like every day becomes so much harder for me. Though I don't look fat I do look extremely thick and I just can't stand my clothes not fitting anymore. I can sit here continuously complaining about how much I dislike my body, but that won't do any good.

Instead I want to write about my journey into getting back on track with my healthy self. I keep telling myself that I'm going to start tomorrow and seriously that is the worst attitude to have. If you are serious about something you have to start that moment, that same day. Don't tell yourself tomorrow, tell yourself to start now!! I think my biggest problem is I absolutely love food to the point that I use it as my comfort blanket for everything.

I mean who doesn't love food? Regardless whether it's something healthy or unhealthy we need it to survive and we love it. I am starting my diet, my routine, my journey today. I am going to hold my head up high and tell myself that I can do this. I know that I am going to hate myself for the next two weeks trying to eat healthier, but it will be all well worth it in the end. Once I can incorporate this to my lifestyle I can become a much more happier and healthier me.

What is my game plan? I want to start off by cutting off sugar and carbs out of my diet. This is going to be difficult, but I need to get a bit extreme if I want to train myself. This means no more soda for me. I stopped with the candy a few weeks ago and have not been craving it at all so that's a good thing.

I am going to start with my meal preps again because to be honest that really helped with making sure I don't overeat or go out to buy junk. I started eating like crap again after I quit my job. I felt depressed and lost and just wanted to sulk in the crappiest food. Now that I'm slowly regaining my confidence in my new position, my family, and home I want to just start all over. It's definitely never too late!

These pictures were taken several weeks ago. Since then I've gained so much weight and I've never been skinny. However, it's nice to know and feel that you can fit into your clothes. It's the feeling of just knowing you look good and feeling good in general. I don't have any recent pictures, but that's because I'm so self conscious of how I look. However, since I'm starting my journey I am going to keep a tracker and update myself weekly on here.
