I didn't have much time to update this little blog of mine this weekend. I dont feel like I'm putting the commitment into this diet that I should be, I feel very relaxed about it, like I should probably track my calories but it doesnt matter if i dont. I'm making better eating choices, but all in all the motivation to try, isnt there. My goal this week is to see if I can find this motivation. And also work out at least 5 times this week.
This week is my last week of work before going part time. It will be different, but I hope, even with school I will have time to plan meals and work out

Quote Of The Day - January 3, 2012
Two today
Don't you dare, for one more second, surround yourself with people who are not aware of the greatness that you are. ~Jo Blackwell-Preston
To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

January 3, 2012 - Still Need To Work On That Self Esteem
I was finishing up my work out today, feeling ok about myself, a little depressed since I couldn't run, but I was at the gym and working out so that's something. Then in walks the skinniest girl, toned in all the right places, and she of course is running. Why did this make me feel so bad? Why can't I see another person and not think "I'm just not ever going to look like that, I'm so fat, I'm so ugly" and instead think "I'm going to look like that someday"?
I see someone else in the mirror, and it's weird to me, cause I know what other people see when they look at me and its not an overweight person. But that's what I see when I look in the mirror. I think I really need to work on my self image but I'm not really sure HOW.
Still there were some positives about today. I DID workout, although I had to force myself. I DID track my calories. I DID eat healthy.
Let's focus on the DID's and not the DIDN'Ts

January 2, 2012 - Not a Very Productive Day
Today was a sick day. Home sick from work, and got nothing much accomplished besides sitting around and watching TV. I know, so motivational. I'm trying to think about my motivation and where it comes from and what motivates me and I've been having some trouble with that. I think my goal this week will be be to write down at least 1 thing every day that motivates me to be healthy and loose weight and to want to become a runner.. starting with today
Motivation #1 - I want to look healthy, and sexy, and be able to feel comfortable naked.
Look at that girl right there, she is beautiful and she is free, and alive and I want to be that girl.
My goals for tomorrow
1) track everything I eat
2) drink at least 64oz of water
3) go for a 30 minute walk

Listen closely: the only time it’s too late to change yourself is when you’re dead. Until then, you’re simply making excuses or lying to yourself

January 1, 2012 - The First Day Of A New Year
January 1, 2012 - The First Day Of A New Year
This is not one of those typical I’m going to make a resoltion to get healthy this year. No I started my journey back in May and since then I’ve lost 21 lbs. This is about that last little bit to go, those 18 lbs I still have left to loose, its about me learning how to eat healthy again, its about me getting the motivation to run again, when i’m cleared for running. It’s about my journey, and about the people, pain and hardship that goes with it. I hope some of you do read along on my journey, and I hope my journey can inspire others. Everyday I will post something about how my journey is going today, an inspirational quote that i can find, and hopefully a picture. I hope this helps me, and of course, i hope it helps others.
Remember, you are smart, you are pretty, you are nice, and you are worth it!
