My Goal

So, I've never exactly discussed my goal on here yet. So my goal for this summer is to finally slim down the amount I want to. I would like to walk into school and have people's jaw drop. I don't think that is going to happen because my weight loss has been quite gradual, but over the summer, I have an extended time between people seeing me, so maybe we can surprise a few people. My ultimate goal is 170ish. I currently sit at around 188, so I have about 18 pounds to go before I make my goal. I think that I could make my goal by the end of summer, and I'm going to try my best to get as close as I can. Recently, I haven't been doing so well with the diet part. I'm used to having fresh fruit to fall back on when I'm craving something sweet, but my family has been so busy lately that we haven't been able to get to the store to get any fruit, so I've been stuck eating actual sweets. Today I have done better though. I didn't pig out today like I have been doing recently, so that's good. I feel like I've turned a corner and I would like to keep myself on the good track. So my challenge for this week is to practice good self-control and not pig out as well as do at least one thing active as many days as I can. And like last time, if anyone reads this they can feel free to participate in my challenge for this week. If you do, leave me a comment and let me know how it's going for you.

Be beautiful

I'm kind of a terrible blogger, but that's ok. Anyway, I've been just kind of pigging out lately. I've got to get back on track and keep myself motivated to exercise. I haven't been really gaining weight, so that's a good thing, but I feel myself reverting back to my old ways, which obviously didn't work out so well. I'm never going to be stick thin and I absolutely never want to be, but I do want to be at a healthy weight. I want to come back from summer a healthier person than what I was entering it. So I am just going to have to push forward and find away to avoid temptation and eating because I'm bored. I will eat when I'm hungry, because that is the healthy thing to do, but I am going to try to avoid eating just for the heck of it. Now, that's not to say I'm going to deprive myself. But I'm going to eat healthy and exercise a healthy amount in order treat my body the way it needs to be treated. We all have to remember that we are beautiful just the way we are, but we are striving for health and a good lifestyle, not weight loss. Be beautiful ladies.

So, it's been a few days so I suppose I should put up a post. So I've long since decided that one of my worst offenses is pigging out at night. I almost never eat between breakfast and lunch, but then between lunch and dinner and after dinner when I'm just sitting around having down time, I tend to eat mindlessly or just eat whatever I want. It leads to stomachaches and gaining weight, which is obviously not what I want. So my current goal is to find something that encourages me not to snack mindlessly during these times of the day, because its really killing my diet. I'm thinking that perhaps my mind is not occupied and I need to do more than just lay in front of the tv. Perhaps I'll start reading a book, or playing on the Wii fit. I don't really know yet. But I need something other than just sitting around eating food and staring mindlessly at the television. So if anyone has any suggestions for activities they would be much appreciated. I think actually, that I will make that my challenge for this week. So here it is, I challenge myself, and anyone else so wants to participate with me, to not eat when they are bored. Instead find a new activity or something that will occupy your mind better than television and eating.

Welcome

Congratulations, you have made it to my blog. This is the first post I will do for my blog, and I have never blogged before, so here goes nothing. I thought for my first post, I would just give everyone a little information on what this blog is and what is going on. I have wanted to do a blog like this for a while, and I am finally just doing it. So the intention of this blog is to be a place for people for motivation as well as to bounce tips off of me and anyone else who happens to read my blog. I am no professional, these are all my opinions, and I have not had any professional training, so don't think that's what this is. But I'm here to share my journey as well as help all of you along with yours. So if anyone is actually interested in this, please leave a comment. I would love to continue doing this. So if you want to get healthy and fit, or loose weight, or something along those lines, keep your eyes peeled for further posts.
