Goals 2:3

Maybe it's me, but I feel like my skin is rejecting itself.
I have breakout city on my face.
And I'm not eating any junk!

The only thing I can assume is the reason for my skin's self rejection is hormones, or the fact that because I've been eating healthy and drinking water the toxins are leaving my body.

I'm not even sure if that's a thing.
But I'ma make it one!

I've been extra hungry today. From the moment I woke up.
And I'm sure this won't be my only day of wanting to eat more.
But I'm not starving myself from food. I'm just fueling it with better food.

However, today we celebrated one of my co-workers birthday.
There was ice-cream cake.

That shit is my favorite! 

So I had a slice. A very small slice.
I knew that if I didn't allow myself the small slice I would mentally not be able to keep my cool. I'd be looking to eat anything.
But allowing myself that little bit curved my craving and didn't make me feel guilty.

My work jeans are also getting loose on me too! Maybe by the end of the month I'll be able to dig out one of my older (smaller) pairs of work jeans.

I'm not sure if I posted this. But I'm not looking at a big goal.
Big goals tend to overwhelm me. I feel like its so far away that I get discouraged quickly.

Instead, I'm having a small mini goal.
And these goals get updated and changed every time I accomplish them.

Right now my goal is to be in the 180's by the end of August.
Which is TOTALLY doable!
In fact, I'm quite sure I'll be able to reach that before my deadline. Which will make me feel even more accomplished.

In the past I feel like there was so much pressure for me to be at a certain goal at such a short time. And the female body is complicated. You'll have a great food and workout week, but your hormones decide to play you.
And thats not fair.

This time, I'm setting up my goals. I'm setting up my deadlines.
Because at the end of the day, this is my journey.

Weight Loss Crafts 2:5

I made it to Friday ! And better yet, I survived to tell the tale. It's just been a busy and eventful week that I cannot wait to spend it at the beach all weekend. I figured I'd go there Saturday after I hit the gym, and then on Sunday too. I love taking myself to the beach. I go, do my thing, take naps, read, watch the waves... Its life!   Lets just see if the weather holds up. So my work jeans are pretty big on me. Even with a belt, they just don't sit right. But I'm not quite yet ready to go down a size. Instead, I made my pants adjustable! I cut 2 holes on the inside of the waistband and put elastic in there. I secured one end, and left the other end "free". I sewed on a button that way I can adjust the elastic to make them tighter so they can fit better! I won't lie, I'm pretty excited for this!  Here's what I ate:   Breakfast-  1/2 cup of oatmeal  1/2 banana 1/2 of egg whites  1 tbsp of salsa  iced coffee with 2 tbs...

4:1 Back on Board the Wagon!

So I missed a whole week. Life happened. And to me, that's okay. Because this isn't a race, this is a journey . And sometimes along our journey's we take rests/pit stops. Last week was my pit stop. But I'm back on the wagon in full swing! It's never about how many times you fall off. It's always about how many times you get back on! I may have gained 5 lbs since my last weigh in. But I'm okay about it. I'm not saying that I'm going to sit there and accept defeat. But I'm okay with this set back. I'm okay that I know that I'm going to have to push harder. I'm okay with that. In fact, I've decided to take full swing back in control with a lot of things. I need to manage my time better. Something that I struggle with. But I plan on getting back to sticking to my planner. And I even bought myself a workout/diet planner! This way I can keep track of my food and exercises. It's small enough to fit in my purse. My ac...

4:2 Delayed Pictures and Measurements as Promised

Image
OH MY GLUTES!!! I know that I stretched last night, but my goodness am I sore! It's been a crazy busy day in my office. I've taken on the task of checking all of our patient's eligibility before they have their appointment in our Garden City location. Which is a bit much for me. I know how to check eligibility, but not like this. It's causing me to multitask like an office ninja! But I've been working really hard on it, and I think I'm doing a decent job! I'm almost done with the whole month of August. And then I have to wait till September 1st to do September. But I'll get there. I've already started working on a Christmas gift today. I figured I'll start now just so I'm not pressed come the holiday season. So once I finish this blog post I'll get a few more stitches in before bed. Here's what I ate:   Breakfast-  1/2 cup of oatmeal  1/2 banana 1/2 of egg whites  1 tbsp of salsa  1 cup of coffee with milk and sug...
