Round 2 I suppose

To say the least, my latest "new lifestyle" FAILED.  I tried, so I guess it wasn't complete failure, but I don't like failing to begin with ... so it is what it is.  ANYWAYS, on to the next plan. My plan B begins as so, I will start Monday because nothing is better than a fresh start and I love being fresh out of the shower.  I think I'll still prepare my meals ahead of time because let's face it, my life is still busy and things happen short notice just about all of the time, so being prepared helps a lot.  I keep seeing everywhere that the key to being healthier and slimming down is pretty much eating better.  You might think to yourself "no shit sherlock", but I hadn't realized that it was pretty much 80% of slimming down.  So, I'm thinking about getting nutritional advice from eatingwell.com, this pretty good website where the food is nutritionally good, the advice is free, and the food probably tastes good.  The last "lifestyle diet" I was eating by showed me how groddie eating healthy is, but I've always known that it isn't as bad as that last experience.  I'm thinking, if I follow this easier equally healthy diet and exercise, then I won't be far off.  As far as exercise, I  think that it still is important and used to be fun for me and I want to make it fun again.  Until I'm 100% sure, I'll stick to Zumba and see how much I like those results.  Zumba wise, I love that shit !  It's so fun and intense like I like and it's dancing, anything that'll let me shake my ass I'm down for (pero, no prostitution).  If I would've continued my new lifestyle, I would be almost 2 months into it, impressive, but it obviously wasn't for me. I'll remeasure myself and get back to square 1.  Square 1 is a tough place to be at, especially when it isn't your 1st time there, but you have to start and restart until you find your proper fit.  So shout out to the fitness world, just call me the #comebackkid

Day 1 SUCCESS

You may assume that the first day of my new lifestyle went great !  It was wonderful, I ate well, was tempted to cheat, but didn't, and worked out even when I didn't feel like it.  My new lifestyle includes hours of preparation for the 5 meals I am learning to eat every 3 hours and working out at the end of the day.  Of course life happens and nothing is perfect, but I tried....no, I didn't get to eat everything on time because I kind of underestimated me being able to eat during work hours, but I still made an effort to eat everything.  Working out also didn't work out the way that I originally planned for it to go.  I planned on doing the Insanity program, but I'm missing a few CD's for some odd reason and I feel like if I want to do this right, then I'll wait to buy the complete series of discs and do it then.  In the meantime, I jogged 1.4 miles and then when I got home I did some yogalates with my fave youtube channel for yoga. (I'll post the channel info)  After seeing what it's like to work out and eat properly, not just a salad for every meal, I see that it takes dedication, self-discipline, and motivation because it's not an easy fix to go from shit food binge to health nut, BUT IT CAN BE DONE.  I also made a motivation board to cheer me on everyday about my good health and goals, when I find my camera, I'll post a picture of it.  Pictures will slowly trickle in y'all (;  Anyways, I'm still a college student so I have hit to the mf books !!!

if you were pondering the possibilities, I am giving myself a high five (abg)

To Begin With

So this may be very cliche of us, but new year new us huh ? lol.  We're on our way to better health and better looking bodies that accompany our health.  Windel and I have separately decided that it's never too late to turn around a bad habit and when we consulted each other, realized that we shared most of the same views so we're taking the journey together from 2 different cities.  With motivation from each other and the will within ourselves, we're sure to be better women in 2013.  BUT! before we start our journey, the proper preparation should be taken, it's hard to just jump into a new lifestyle  the very next day.  I've been prepping for about a week with menus and such...still debating whether I should start off with a detox or go straight into working out plus my amazing new diet.  Anyways, I found this great video on this natural Youtube channel and it's a nice little listen.  Take care !
