OH MAN

Do I hurt soooooo much right now Second day of Krav Maga practiced right and left hooks, liver punches, jabs and shin kicks. Also did kettle ball squats and burpees. Pushed through it and am proud of myself but man do I feel sore.

I DID IT

First day of Krav Maga done. It was an hour long intense work out. To start off we met at the park and when the instructor got there he told us to run the length of the park and back. With this and warm up done he then pulled out a deck of cards explaining to us that any time he drew a diamond we would have to do squats, hearts were cattlebell squats, spades were palm punches and clubs were kicks. He the told us that for each number on the card thats how many we would have to do with face cards being 10 and aces being 11. Not only that but Jokers were our choice of 25 burpees or bear crawl 100 yards. Needless to say I got my butt kicked but the amount of encouragement I received from complete strangers baffled me and I loved every minutes of it

Stop Having Cheat Meals

Food is not cheating. Eating is not cheating. I HATE that so many coaches/trainers have people do cheat days/meals. It associates foods you enjoy with guilt. It makes you feel guilty for having what you like. This doesn’t teach moderation. It demonizes foods even further. Educate yourself. Learn what a portion size is. Learn when you are hungry or just bored. Look at your diet as a whole and make choices that will benefit your body and mind. Get your fiber, vitamins, minerals, protein, carbs, and fats through whatever foods you enjoy eating, and find a balance between nutritionally dense food and less nutritionally dense foods. Calories are calories. Your body metabolizes protein, carbs, and fats the same way no matter whether it comes from a plain chicken breast and rice or a fast food burger. Make the best choices for your physiological functioning with foods that are nutritionally dense in vitamins and minerals, but also enjoy the foods you like.

This is me at 258 lbs. I keep telling myself "You don't look like 258 lbs, just worry about it later." Well it is later and has been later. I am no longer happy with the person in the mirror. My self confidence is at an all time low, my mood is constantly spiraling and I live in constant fear of what other people think about me. I know I am not the only person who gets judged but when I am around others, how I look is the only thing they could be thinking about. I am so tired of thinking like this. Even if people were judging me who care what they think? I can not let my own self esteem issues get the better of me. I can no longer beat myself up for things I find wrong. Only I can fix them.

NO LONGER

Okay so it has been awhile since I have been on Tumblr, but I am treating it as my blog for my weight loss and I have found that when I actually am writing about it and posting about it I do better.

I recently moved for my job and am on my own for the first time. With this move I completely stopped doing the low carb high fat diet, and it definitely shows. I am up to 258 lbs and I feel worse than I did before I first started with LCHF. I have hit my highest weight and am spiraling down into depression. 

It is hard because I do not know anyone in my new town and do not make friends easily plus I work 50 hrs a week with my job so that is sort of a hindrance. I do most things on my own and feel lonely while doing them and everyday when I look in the mirror I am no longer proud to see the person staring back at me and that scares me most of all. 

I know that I am strong and even if no one is by my side to help me, I can no longer stand around doing nothing. If I want a change I have to be the one that does it. No one can make the changes for me.

So I vow to myself that these changes start today June 29th 2016. I am no longer going to feel ashamed to look at myself. I am no longer going to feel bad every time I go out and think that everyone is judging me. I am no longer going to let being alone hold me back, because I do not need others to tell me that I am beautiful, and that I can succeed at anything I set my mind to.

I am the only person holding myself back, and that stops today!
