Day 3

Date: 07/04/2017

How my food day went down… I cheated a little again today. I’ve just been so hungry because my stomach’s just so big. Drinking water isn’t helping the hunger pangs a whole lot. I need to start eating more. How my exercise went down… I didn’t have time to work out today. I got home so late from work that all I wanted to do was collapse on my bed. I’m also so sore from yesterday that I didn’t want to do anything either. It hurts to get in and out of chairs. or walk up and down stairs. I was super nice to myself today by... Lending a shoulder to a friend who needed me. And I also got my hair done and eyebrows waxed.

Today I am proud that I… Lent my shoulder to a friend who needed me. I accept that this didn’t go perfectly and heart myself all the same…

I COMMIT TO COMING BACK TOMORROW.

Day 2

Date: 07/04/2017

How my food day went down… So far, I have completely stuck to my diet (other than that little piece of extra chocolate). I want some popcorn or something so bad, but I’m trying so hard to stick to my guns. I still might have some just because I think the calories in this diet that I’m eating a day is a little too low for me. but we’ll see after I have a little more water.  How my exercise went down… I worked out today. Some of the stuff was greuling for me, but this is only a start.I did everything but the extras, even though I wanted to do more. I think tomorrow I’m just going to get up early and do a workout before I go to work. I’ll see how I feel. I was super nice to myself today by... Asking my dad to set up my new monitor. It’s been sitting downstairs in the kitchen for days and I didn’t jump the gun trying to set it up. It was also nice to sit and just veg out watching SGDQ and talking to my friends, and Cameron.

Today I am proud that I… Stuck to my diet. And also started the workout plan. I accept that this didn’t go perfectly and heart myself all the same… Things went pretty well today (other than this acid reflux in my throat).

I COMMIT TO COMING BACK TOMORROW.

Day 1

Date: 07/03/2017

How my food day went down... I thought today went pretty well for the most part. I already fell off the wagon, but it’s because after work I had such a headache I really didn’t want to cook. I ate the cherry pie oatmeal for breakfast and the protein power bowl for lunch. I almost got sick eating the kale, but I’m sure that was just allergies. I felt a little better after I ate, which was nice. I ended up eating Chinese food for dinner, but since I can get one free meal a week, I guess that was okay. I’m going to try to stick to everything the rest of the week if I can. How my exercise went down... I did not work out at all today. I honestly thought about doing it, but I was too tired, didn’t feel well and I should have done it. I feel bad not doing it, but I needed to rest after the day I had. I was super nice to myself today by... Making myself take a rest day because of me not feeling well. I also just relaxed watching SGDQ. I also tried to not beat myself up over the fact I already fell off the wagon, which is huge. Today I am proud that I... Didn’t kill anyone at work and stuck to my diet for the most part. I accept that this didn’t go perfectly and heart myself all the same... Trying to love myself is hard, but this is a journey, my journey.

I COMMIT TO COMING BACK TOMORROW.

Hey Guys

I know it’s been a long while since I logged into this Tumblr. I’ve strayed a long way from this website in general, not logging in to really any of my blogs. I’m coming back to update this blog in hopes to come back full force.

I started a new diet that requires me to log my daily goals. Instead of printing out all 101 pages, I’ve decided to just log them here. I’m sure my dad would get mad if I decided to print out all 101 pages. So once a day, I’m going to try to be active in posting, even if it’s only text posts. 

Lots has gone on in my personal life, so I’ll just do a life update post eventually. But for now, let’s get to logging my journey!

I went shopping for clothes (because I have an interview on Monday) and I bought clothes in a few different sizes. I dropped a pants size, I have a smaller size in shirts (i teeter in between sizes), there;s a sweater i bought that was a little bigger than I needed (it was the only size they had) and i even bought a shirt that was an XL. Buying an XL is HUGE for me. I haven’t been/felt that small in a long time.

Since there’s no actual trails and stuff near my house, I’m going to see if I can go to an ecology center to run. they have a 1.2 mile trail there that I used to play on as a kid. I’m gonna see if I can get a pass so i can run there.

Does anyone have any tips on exercising while having bad menstrual cramps? I want to go for a run tomorrow if my cramps aren’t as extreme as they were today.

Just a reminder, that no matter what you read on tumblr:

Losing weight is hard

Changing your lifestyle or fitness levels is hard

You will make mistakes

You will learn a lot about yourself and those around you

Its OK and normal to be scared that you will fail - lets talk about it

Its OK to be honest about your fears - lets talk about it

Don’t be afraid to change your method or direction if its not working

You don’t have to pretend your journey is easy to make your followers happy Be humble. Love yourself.

Recovery tip: When someone says “You can call me any time”, take advantage of that. Actually call them when you’re having a bad day. That’s what they said they would be there for and it’s better than you having a relapse. A relapse can kill you; a friend could be yours for life.

Healthy doesn’t mean to just eat salads. It does not mean forcing yourself to the gym when you’d rather stay at home because you had a bad day. It does not mean never eating snacks. It doesn’t mean torturing yourself. To be healthy means that you think about what’s best for you, now and in the future but also DOING WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. Never feel the pressure to do anything that doesn’t bring you happiness.
