Lifestyle Change =)

Okay so many may know that I've decided to do a lifestyle change for the betterment of my body. I must say that it's been a hard road to travel however I've done really well in the last week. I started this journey last Monday. I made up in my mind that something has to change. My clothes were starting to get too small and a reality check hit when I had to buy a size 12 jeans instead of being in my happy size of 10. Well enough is enough!!! I took some money and decided to go and buy fresh fruits and veggies. I've done research as to what I would like and plan to do. I have changed my mindset for the better. I know that this road will get easy. I just have to stay committed and persistent.

 

I have started my very own food journal. It's something that I have to get used to because I have MyFitness Pal on my phone. So I just plug the information in there and then at the end of the day I write down the information in my food journal. I made it myself. It's bound by a discbound system. I love the colors (although my favorite colors are purple and red). As you can see I have a love for owls....lol. Anywho, I also have a 32oz jar/cup that I leave at work. I make it my goal to drink 3 of them full of water for my daily water intake. Let me tell you, that, in itself, is a challenge. I'm one that doesn't care too much for water although I know it's good for me.

I created my own visual. My goal at this time is to lose 30 lbs. So what I've done was purchased these stones and glasses from Dollar Tree. I placed 30 stones in 1 glass and my plan is for every pound I lose, move the stone over. I love visuals and even if I don't weigh in everyday (which I plan to do once a week) I will still be able to see my progress. I found this concept on Instagram. I loved it. I'll probably change it and use brighter colors. But for now this works just fine. (In fact I need to move 3 stones over since I weighed myself this weekend). I lost 3 lbs!!! Woo Hoo!!!

Stay with me as I continue to blog about my life. 

Until next blog......TeeKay!!!
