A Commitment to Myself

Fall has arrived and as I begin to get ready for school. I asked myself what have i done, just for me? What challenge have I really accomplished just for me? And I really couldn't think of an answer. I have never done something just for the sake of me

SO i ran through ideas, of things I could do to show myself that I can stand for myself and that I don't only work hard for other people. And then it hit me. Vegetarian for just a semester. Not only should this be attainable for me, but no one will care that
I'm doing it except me.

Now being vegetarian is not a ploy to lose weight or be smaller in any way, shape or form. It is simply something that I can actually keep track of and show myself I have the will power to say no. To everyday turn down meat, will probably be a challenge especially when thanksgiving comes around. But I really believe that I can do it so I will. My semester starts tomorrow and ends December 15th. So about 4 months of being vegetarian, and who knows maybe if I like it I will continue on.

My last blog talked about me continuing to try and lose weight. That is also still a goal in my life and now I have the actual schedule to do so. I have a set-up to where I can work out everyday and not have any problems doing so. This is key to my success because I hate working out at home. I am excited for this semester and I know the time is going to fly by. I will do my best to post as often as I can, with school starting that may not be as often but I will try to keep everyone updated on how its going.


Thanks so much for following

A New Continuation

Well well well, after the bumps and hurdles of losing weight. I had given up and it completely upset me because I got so far. But I

haven't been the same since. I can't wait to start my workouts again and get back on to a healthy diet.I will be 20 in about 5

months and i would LOVE to be at my goal weight on my twentieth birthday. Even if it means I have to hide under a rock for 4

months I will do so. I have made a schedule so that I work out everyday, between work and school. There are so many things I

want for myself but one thing I know I want for sure it to be able to fit into a pair of jeans I used to wear all the time, my senior

year in high school. To wear those jeans on my birthday or christmas day would make me so happy and no one is standing in the

way of my happiness except me. So i have to push my head and ignorance aside and do what I KNOW works. I'm telling myself to

accept the fact that it won't be easy. And accept the fact that everyone else isn't doing it because they aren't me. This is my path

and no one else's. I have to show myself I can commit to something that matters to me and actually follow through on it for me.


So feel free to check on me and see how i'm doing. I'm even posting pics, to show how serious i am. I want everyone to see my

before pics and I wanted to post it to keep myself motivated and get be able to post my after pic and be simply amazed. I was

175 pounds. Unhealthy and unhappy.

But that changes today :)

Burst through

I finally burst through my plateau and what did i do the celebrate? I went running. Not eating, not spoiling myself with something petty. My treat was to RUN and I was so strangely satisfied with that it was almost scary. LOL I'm going to the store to get some veggies and fruit for the week! I feel good, I emailed my support system and they were all very excited for me, which left me more pumped. Im getting my shape in shape I feel AWESOME :)

I just want to FIT

I've been busy with work and with this awful weather. I haven't worked out in a week and I don't think I've eaten healthy either. I don't know. I also haven't weighed myself in forever. ugh. This blog is about me not wanting to give up but my lack luster to continue. I'm like in a total rut and I try to hype myself back into routine and I can't seem to find a way back in. I look at my clothes and jeans and say I would like to fit those. but.....

My own issue

For some reason, I got in my head that i could just quit. Like It would be okay. after being 175 and getting down to 160.8. I

thought because I plateaued I could just top and say forget it. But I realized my body wasn't ready to quit, only my mind was it took about a week of going over calories to realize, I wasn't satisfied at all. I wasn't happy eating whatever I wanted and i didn't

feel better not working out. And thats how I know I have to get back into my life style. I was silly to come this far just to give up on myself.

I'm back on track PEOPLE, I need to be back

Coming to terms

I was pretty sure, I was just about to quit trying to lose weight. Then ((BOOM)) it hit me. You've lost about 15 lbs and kept it off. Can't being stuck be a good thing? So I thought sure why not :) So I'm now okay with being 160.4 YAY.

The day before yesterday was AWESOME. (why?) because I got all my financial aid and TAXES done in one day. And if you know my mother it is not possible for her to finish anything on time. But we truly did it together.

Yesterday I over ate by like 300 something calories. But honestly, I was hungry. Not bored hungry, or emotional hungry. No, My body was actually hungry, so I ate. Now will that bite me in the butt later? possibly but I doubt it.

Today I went running, (c25k) and I put on clothes and I felt thin. Started my run and felt like an athletic person. (the person I said I could never be) and I just smiled and said wow, I feel good. Not to mention, that my body is shaping up. I realized being healthy is not in everything the scale says, its in how good your body looks and feels. The scale can catch up later. :)

Lately, everyone has been saying how they want to be thin. Thin doesn't mean your healthy and I feel like that a common misconception. Healthy, is getting YOUR shape IN shape. Healthy isn't being a size 0 or 1. For some people healthy is size 12, 9 or etc. Girls (or men) when you say you want to lose weight, know what's in shape for YOUR shape. :) It will stop half of the disappointment :)

Lastly, this blogging thing is pretty cool and when I reach my goal weight, I promise to provided before and after pics :)

What's this about

This blog is about my life. Unsweetened. This blog is about my goals and life choices. And how I stand on them. :) I hope you enjoy.

Well lets start,

I'm 19 and starting my sophomore year of college. I live with my boyfriend (kinda) and we've been in a relationship for two years come this august. :) I have tow jobs and no children. I want to be happy with myself so I have changed my whole life style. In all this change I also decided I needed to lose about 40 lbs, to be in my healthy weight zone. I started out 175 and I'm now 160.4. thanks to lose it. I'm happy to be about 15 pounds lighter but now, I'm stuck on this 160 for way too long I hate it I want to move on and the scale is saying I'm not moving at all. SMH (Shaking my head) I gotta fix this plateau, I hate it

Well that's my simple rant for today
