It's been a long time... I SHOULDN'T HAVE LEFT YOU!

I don't eat junk all the time lol

Don't worry peeps... I'M BACK!

It's been quite a while since I've blogged, been disciplined, and exercised. I know that's VERY no bueno. There are several things I've realized since I've fallen off the wagon:

• I can't let one bad day throw me off course.
• Even though part of my support system is missing, I can still depend on those that are here!
• Have to put effort and energy in to get results.
• I really can feel a difference when I eat healthy/exercise compared to eating junk...
• Don't feel safe just because the # on the scale doesn't change... The tightness of my clothes does NOT lie lol!

A cool 253 lbs 8/17/13 - Me & my sis

I have to admit that fitness and eating healthy will be a long struggle for me because even though I may reach for something healthy I still have the urge to snack if I'm feeling down or not exercise. You know, that feeling where you just want to stuff your face like a squirrel and hibernate like a bear!?!?

Sunday June 9th update...

Just this morning, days after making this video I realized that my lack of weight loss could be due to the fact that I haven't taken any thyroid medicine in about a week. I will be going Thursday to get my levels checked and re-up on my pills. The past few days I have been super tired and sluggish :(

Just to clear something p :)

Weight ain't nothing but a number and numbers ain't nothing but a thing! Don't stress the small stuff people, focus on what's important which is eating right and exercising...

Heather's in the HIIIZZZOUSEE lol!

I know, I know...  Where have I been? Lol, just living life in real time! So the 411 on me is that I'm currently 247 lbs and I have a goal of losing 15lbs by June 21st. Achievable maybe not but I'm going to give it all I've got and see what happens.

I've been doing a SUPER job with my food choices, I just need to do better getting up and heading into the gym before work. I'm excited about the changes I've seen with myself and new habits I've formed like NOT grocery shopping when I'm hungry... BIG NO-NO, I'll end up with a basket full of cookies, cakes, and sugar filled juice if I do that lol! I also try to be active at least 5 times a week, that means doing something in excess of what I'd get in on a normal day. Well ladies and gents (if there are any tuned in) I'm posting some pics below just b/c :)

Update on ME!

Well, well, well... We meet again! I just wanted to give y'all a quick update on how I'm fairing. My weight is currently 246.3 pounds I'm working hard to drop another 40 pounds by then end of the year. I'm taking things slow now and focusing on forming lasting habits which seems to be working for me. I've had tremendous success changing my eating habits, but am still working on becoming consistent with my workouts. My goal for working out is at least 60 minutes 5 times a week, but it's hard finding the motivation to get up and be active sometimes... I find myself eating less and less meat as the days go on, I don't really crave or want it. Also I stay mostly in the produce section of the grocery story which allows me to control the ingredients I'm putting into my body. I am starting to love the way I look in my clothes and love the energy I have from the foods I eat!
