It's day 15 and that means...... TODAYS MY BIRTHDAY! woohoo! i turned 20 years old today. And for some reason i feel so old! I know 20 is not old but I feel like i'm actually an adult now...is that a scary thought or what?
Well because it's my birthday all bets are off! today is my carefree day and i'm not going to care what i eat or what i drink it's my day and i'm not going to have any boundries today while i may feel bad tomorrow about what i eat and and do today that can be for tomorrows worries because today is all about me and that's how it's going to stay.
Ok well i'm not trying to stay on here very long so i'm going to go have a good day i know i will.
Wish me luck

Day 12
Sorry I haven't been on in a while. I've been sick the past few days and am still sick and just haven't felt like getting on the internet. And trust me i went away from my diet and exercise for a couple days and trust me i'll spare you the grueling details cause their bad trust me. I didn't excercise saturday or sunday because I was just drained and i felt horrible. So i didn't go and i ate bad lets just leave it at that.
Unfortunately some of the bad habits that i picked up again while i was sick have stuck and i have been eating at my work which as we know is none to healthy. But the plus side is i have been excercising which is nice and today i did a close then open shift at my work and i went to the gym and now i am absolutely exhausted and it sucks i'm suprised i got on the computer today. Well i think i'm going to go ahead and get off because it's time for bed have a good night.
Wish me luck

Day 8
Well Day 8 is in full swing and it doesn't feel much different that days 1-7....well i guess it kind of does because i'm eating a fresh spinach salad with VERY little cheddar cheese and dressing and it is DELICIOUS! Where as this time last week I was eating a chicken sandwich from wendys....I think that's what is was. hmmm???
Anyways I unfortunately do have some less than pleasing news to tell you. You see yesterday I had to close at my job and I was CRAVING like hard core craving the wings we sell. And while I am proud to tell you I didn't give into that craving a little later while I was on my way home I got another craving for a Snickers and unfortunately I gave into that craving and bought 2 of the little ones not the king size the next lower size and I also got a Pepsi. I realize now that it deffinately wasn't worth it but I did give into that craving which sucks.
But today I have been doing very well I had a grilled cheese sandwich for breakfast and like I already mentioned I just ate the spinach salad. Did you know that 2 TBSP of ranch dressing is NOT a lot of dressing and it's 140 CALORIES!!! what the heck! 2 TBSP of that dressing just barely coated all the spinach I ate but it was still good and actually you really don't need that much dressing in you salads for one it's bad for you I mean 140 is no small amount of calories and then when you put A LOT of dressing on your salads it drowns it and you don't get almost any of the taste of the vegetable trust me I know. And I mean I guess if you don't like lettuce or spinach then that's a good thing but it really just cancels out all the nutrients you getting from the veggies because the dressing is SO bad for you.
Well I went to the gym again today for a little longer I think I went for about 50-55 mins instead of 45 mins. And of course the gym was amazing as always and I feel very worked out. I also noticed that when I first worked out my arms a few days ago my arms were REALLY hurting the next day and Today while I was stretching I noticed that my arms didn't hurt anymore and to me that's kind of a red flag because I'm the type of person that the only way I can prove to myself that I actually got a good workout is if I'm a. sore the next day or b. I'm sweating a lot and trust me I was sweating up a storm but the soreness is the major factor to me in whether I did anything or not. Well I have work again today but this time at 5 so i've got about an hours before I need to leave to go so i'm going to go relax a little.
Wish me luck

Day 7
Well it has offically been a week since my new years resolution has started. And I am doing a WHOLE heck of a lot better than a week ago when i started. I am finally eating right. No fast food here and excercising daily. I am just so excited about this i've never been so confident in anything before which is the reason i know this will happen this time around and that i won't fail. I can't there is absolutely NO reason to. I now have a mini gym in my house (garage actually) and a membership to an AWESOME gym. There's absolutely no reason for failure i have NO excuses this time and i'm happy about that.
So today I have already gone to the gym i went at about 1 pm for about 45 mins and i feel great as always! haha. I do have work at 4 which is in also exactly and hour (1 min away haha) and i've already made dinner to take to work i'm taking fajita mix and cheese and some pinata torillas which are actually 90 calories less than the one's we usually buy so of course i'm excited about that. Well i don't think i really have anything else to say at this point but i'm sure i'll have more tomorrow.
wish me luck

Day 6
Have you ever seen the show Dog the Bounty Hunter? Well that is my ALL time FAVORITE show i LOVE watching it i think what they do looks like so much fun. But the point of my bringing that up is if you've seen the show you know who Beth is. She's Dogs wife and she is also a BIG role model of mine. Other than my mom that is. I think she is this beautiful strong and fierce woman who as well as being all that she know's how to hold on to her womanhood. Even though she is in a primarily male job. I love watching her at work seeing her handle the people the way she does with what seems like NO fear. Also she has lost some SERIOUS weight. I mean i don't care what size she is i will look up to her either way but that's another reason she's a role model of mine. Because she made the choice to make herself healthy and she DID IT! With my current state of trying to lose weight it's always nice to see someone who has been there! Who knows how it feels to have to lose weight and who actually succeeded in doing so.
My mother is another person who i can look up to in that way as well. My mom is VERY much like Beth on Dog the Bounty Hunter.My mom is a strong beautiful don't take no bullshit type of person and she is EVERYTHING that i aspire to be. Although my mom has always been skinny as long as i can remember she was once on the heavy side and she told me that one day she just said you know what enough is enough and she lost her weight and now is living a COMPLETELY healthy lifestyle. I am SO proud of my Mom and Beth because they both accomplished the one thing i want most at this point in my life. And i know that whenever i'm feeling down on myself about this i just have to look at my mom or turn on Dog and see my role models looking at me. Although i don't know Beth and have never met her i think it would be a thrilling experience to meet her. I would love to learn about her job and do that as my chosen career and also just talk about her experiences in losing her weight. But i still have my Mom and i couldn't choose a better person to look up to then her she is the most amazing person i have in my life and no one could ever replace her.
Well on the subject of weight loss today was my chosen "cheat day". I feel like i need a "cheat day" to eat 1 meal of whatever i'd like, good for you or not, that way i don't just get off track because i miss the taste of bad for you food. And though Sundays i am choosing as my day to not work out I didn't want my "cheat day" to be on a day when i don't workout because then i would just feel worse about eating the bad for you food because i didn't even try to work it off you know? So wednesdays from now on are going to be my "cheat days" where i can eat 1 meal of whatever i want fast food or not. And Sundays are going to be my day off from the gym. But my "cheat day" meal today was i went to a local mexcian resturant and got some taco salad and chips with white cheese (go figure haha). And i must say even though it was DELICIOUS! i will probably NEVER eat there again because it was $3.00 for this little 1 1/2in by 1 1/2in container of cheese and NO cheese came with the chips! it was quite ridiculous.
I did however get my workout today. It was very nice a very fun workout and there were some very cute people in this gym as well haha. But i workout out for 45 mins and it was a very good workout today i worked out my arms and my inner and outer legs and stomach. There is this machine, i'm not sure the technical name for it but my best friend and i call it the gyno's haha, and i workout out on the everytime i'm there. One is you spread your legs as far as you can *hint the gyno name haha* and you pick the weight you want and you squeeze in you legs and it works you inner thighs and the one right next to that is one where you push your legs in as far as you can and you put your legs out. That works your butt and outside thigh area. I also try to do the ab exercises everytime im there but that is a popular one so it's not always unoccupied.
Well that's about it for me today.

Day 5
You want to know what's so great about apples? It's that you don't have to have a drink when your eating them. Their so juicy it's like a snack and a drink all in one and i sir like that very much haha. So if you havn't guessed i am sitting here eating an apple while i'm typing this. And boy is it muy deliciouso.
Anyways though. Today has been another good day even though it's only 2:46 p.m. It has been good. I had a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch with ketchup which may i say was mmm mmm GOOD TOASTY! haha and then i went to the gym for about 45 to 50 min.s and that was GREAT! and it was actually pretty slow in there which is always nice because then you don't have to right over machines haha. But yea and now i'm eating an apple waiting for 3:45p.m. to come because i have to go and close at my job today. I hope whatever my mom is cooking for dinner is done by then because it looks SOOO good and smells SOOO good i really want to take it to work. actually it's chicken and rice and if you know me you know i LOVE me some chicken and rice haha.
Well that's all for now.
Wish me luck

Day 4
Well i am SUPER EXCITED to tell you all that i am getting on my straight track to the better life. I kept my promise yesterday and went to the gym i think i only went for just short of an hour. And then today i have been eating good....still waiting for dinner i'm kinda hungry but i had work today and i brought my lunch and ACTUALLY ate it! like OMG! haha i actually did what i was supposed to? what? me? haha YES YES I DID! so HA! haha i also just got back from the gym...well not JUST got back i just got out of the shower from going.
I'm just so excited about going. And OMG my gym was PACKED tonight! i mean like they have at least 20 treadmills and 2 were broken and ALL them things were being used and they also have about i'd say 50 more eliptical machines and almost EVERY single one was being used and that's just the back of the gym the rest of the gym i mean you could barely find a machine that someone wasn't using it was kind of rediculous. The only reason i think it was so busy is see my gym does this thing where they buy like 30 pizzas and they have a pizza monday on the 1st monday of the month and then they have something where they have doughnuts on the 1st something of the month. So i think they all just wanted pizza. And you will be happy to know i had not 1 slice of pizza. haha or at least i'm happy to know it especially considering how freaking hungry i am. haha
Today i actually bought new workout pants see i have workout shorts but where i live it is WAYYY too cold to workout in those bad boys everyday so when i was going to the store to buy some new work pants i just thought well i may as well see what type of workout pants they have and i found some that i ABSOLUTELY LOVE! their black with 2 white strips going down the side of my legs. And yes they are that important you HAVE to know details....you will be quizzed haha. Well anyways they are long enough and they fit PERFECT like i just want to wear them all the time in a few weeks i think i'll got back and buy a few more pair. Today they didn't have much of a selection it was just luck that this was my size and perfect. But i deffinately want more.
Anyways i think i'll being going now. I think i'm about to start cooking dinner. Have a good night everyone. If anyone is reading this? you are reading this right? haha.
Wish me luck
