Here I Am

Hello guys, I am back!

I have been MIA and I am sorry I didn't update for 10 DAYS!!!!!

I am going to start off where I left off. Guys, I am proud to say I lost 4 pounds!!!! I am so happy.  I am exercising more and dancing and eating healthier (kinda).  I am doing more arm workouts because I hate my arms. I have been doing Cassey's arm workout videos and they have been making my arms sore. I have also been dancing which works a lot of my muscles. I just turn my iTunes to shuffle and dance to the song that plays. It really has been helping me and I am sweating a lot.

I am trying to lean more towards healthier foods. I have been eating more oatmeal and fruits and yogurt. But today, I had some ice-cream and popcorn….Not proud of that. I am going to go on a junk food free  diet for a month. I have soccer tryouts and I haven't ran in about two weeks because it has been snowing crazy and I have no gym memberships :(. Inside blogilates for the win, haha.

Well, theres my update for today!

Keep moving forward!!!!!!

If I am talking to my friends in between classes, I stand on my toes and pulse. Anyways, it is a quick mini workout that could be a stepping stone for everyone who is trying to incorporate exercise into their daily lives.

IWorkout

Hello Friends,

I just finished working out, yes, I finally worked out. I did a couple Blogilates videos which I will link below because Cassey really pushed me today and you will love her!

DO THIS CALENDAR!

By the way guys, I kinda pigged out today. I mean, we had no school, and yeah I was bad. I have to throw away all my junk food and keep it all clean. I don't want to tempt myself anymore.

Also guys, I really wanted to share this so people can relate and don't feel sorry for me: My family thinks I am fat. I am fat. But,  all the negativity can get to me sometimes which is the main reason I eat A LOT. I eat because I am stressed out sometimes, but also because I get sad. But, I realized that, their opinions towards me don't matter. Yes, it hurt me before and it still kinda hurts me today, but now I am motivated to become healthier and eventually I will become fitter and I will look better in jeans then my family. I will be stronger than them, healthier than them, and I will succeed. So, what I am trying to say here is that, don't surround yourself with people who are negative about what you are trying to do and accomplish. If you wanna be vegan, DO IT. If you wanna be a vegetarian, I SUPPORT YOU. If friends don't support your decisions, don't let them dictate your life, and if you don't like what they say, just ditch them. If its your family, ITS YOUR BODY. ITS YOUR MOUTH, you decide what foods you what to intake, but, make it healthy! Listen to yourself, because you know whats healthy, not them.

I hope that makes sense and I hope you become motivated to eating clean and working hard. THIS YEAR IS ABOUT YOU. You can do it.

RECAP:
Snacks:
-chocolate mini nuggets - I ate probably 8 of them
- Triscuits
- banana
- orange
-Ritz crackers
- Icecream….

Dinner:
-Chicken Nuggets

It was a fatty day. Never again, I feel sick XP

Moving Forward

Hello friends,

So today was a better day for me, I drank more water whenever I "felt" hungry. I am going to start drinking more water everyday and try to take out sodas from my life. I a slowly leaning away from candy and sweets, but some days I might reward myself.

Breakfast:

-chewy bar

Lunch:

-Grilled Cheese
(white bread/american cheese)

Dinner:

Strawberries and blueberry yogurt.

I am also trying to intake smaller proportion and be moderate in what I eat. I saw this tip that if you eat slower than you usually eat, you body will tell you that it is full. So, I am going to try that throughout tomorrow and I will see how that goes.

Sleep also plays an important part with your body, and my sleeping schedule is completely out of sack because I have been on break and I am going to get  wake up call tomorrow we I have to wake up at 6:00 am. I have been falling asleep around 4 or 5 am, so this should be interesting.

Things I need to do:
-Sleep
-Drink water
-Exercise
-Eat healthy

-Keep moving forward

-Alexis Medina :)
