Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. AKA I'm a failure.

 

 

 

            I have been absent for an inexcusably long time. I used this weekend to catch up on some sleep and finish my book! Along with the happiness that came from finishing an amazing book, came the pain of a deep splinter that was in my foot so deeply that an incision had to be made and I about screamed when it was pulled out. GROSS. As far as controlling my addiction to bad food, I didn't do too bad. I had some relapses, but for the most part, I stayed on track.. I think this is a step in the right direction! I solemnly swear that when I weigh in tomorrow I will not be too harsh on myself because I didn't try my hardest and I didn't push myself at all. I am hoping that with time to come I will push myself harder, that I will make everything I want to have happen, happen.

            I feel that a lot of my posts/entries are kind of boring, I've been thinking that I will start adding pictures from my day (meals, workouts, etc.) and talk about my experiences. Possibly even talk about other things that have been going on, and use this as a true type of diary and/or outlet for my thoughts.

For now, I will leave you with a quote that I have been loving (I even posted it to INSTAGRAM):

The Third Day

Surprise, surprise. Another failed day. I know that this is seeming to turn into some sort of I failed at everything and I am just going to keep writing about my non progress and how I am not following through, but I really hope it turns itself around. I hope the progress and motivation will come quickly.

I am so exhausted from all of my non sleep that has been happening all week (for the past year, really). I literally have no idea where all my time goes. It's like the moment I get home from work everything becomes a blur and it's 11pm and I should have been asleep an hour ago.

I want there to be some silver lining or some hopeful message in this, but really I am just too tired to muster one up.. It's already 10pm and I want to sleep forever.

I hope tomorrow will be much more uplifting, because I really can't seem to do anything positive for today's post and that depresses me.

Sorry. :/

Until next time,

The Second Day

Hiya!

I thought I would post this earlier rather than later today because tonight is the season finale of COVEN (who will reign Supreme?!?!?!) and I am sure I will be ready to collapse in to bed right after it has finished. 

To sum up today:

                EPIC FAIL

Being that it's only the second day, I figured I would have done much better than I actually did. I know that my down fall is the coming home and eating everything in sight bit. I need to find some way to avoid that.. I'm finding it hard to create a solution for it. As soon as I figure it out I will let you know. And, if I haven't figured it out yet and you have... PLEASE SHARE YOUR WISDOM. I started the day with a yogurt smoothie and an apple, a light snack mid morning and then for lunch, salad and hummus w/ chips. Ending the day with candy and other delishious, not healthy foods. I didn't find time to exercise and I am not looking forward to tomorrow. I wish I had some inspiring bit to put in here, or some good news pertaining to progress but today doesn't seem to hold that fate. 

IN OTHER NEWS...

The movie trailer for The Fault in Our Stars was released today and I have already watched it a quarter of a million times. The book is in my top 3 favorite books of all time, therefore I am incredibly emotional about it, and I am so happy that it's going to be in theaters in June of this year. 

Also, I finished the book I'd been reading (also by the fabulous John Green) An Abundance of Katherines. It was a good book, I found it to be very light-hearted. I didn't have to get too involved and it just was uplifting and not too demanding of attention. Worth the read. I have now started reading If I Stay. Which, is really good so far!

Well, I guess that's really all I have for the day. In conclusion, FAILURE AND EMOTIONS. 

Until next time,

The First Day

Hello!

Today, upon opening my mini calendar (that I have bought myself as a daily motivator) I found that the opening quote was perfect. It read, "Amazing things will happen." I couldn't agree more. I thought it was the perfect opening for the beginning of this journey, inspiring hope for the amazing things that will come from bettering my body and myself.

First things first, I weighed in.

 

This is the heaviest I have been in my entire life. While I am not proud of how far I have let myself fall, I know that the version of myself that I can be proud of is attainable. Hard work and determination will get me where I want to be.

Being that it's the first day, I started out strong and gradually became more unmotivated as the day passed. I started off with yogurt and granola for breakfast, popcorners for a snack and salad with left over pesto chicken for lunch. I had fully planned on doing some sort of exercise this afternoon but chores and making dinner took up most of my evening. It's hard to coordinate exercise and housework. I sound like I am a fifty year old house wife with 5 kids, but I am really just a lazy and yet, busy 21 year old with no life.

My plan all started to fall apart when my sisters got home from school and the snacks were brought out. I didn't binge or go crazy on the snackage but I definitely wanted to. Who doesn't?

Anyway, as a total result, today wasn't awful, it just wasn't my best. Improvement is necessary and achievable.

Until next time,

P.s. I wanted also to state my personal goal I have with myself. Once I reach 200 lbs I will reward myself with my first ever tattoo. ♥

Here it is, the first one. This is where it starts; the first post. Awkward. Well, let's jump right in. 

I've started this blog with the hope of it acting as a diary of sorts. Starting tomorrow, Tuesday, the 28th of January, I will be starting my journey of losing weight. I will be documenting how I am feeling, what I am doing, and every Tuesday I will be weighing in. I am hoping this will be the motivation I need to get started and to follow through!

While I'm sure this blog will be all over the place and I'll start to ramble, I'm excited to get started and I'm excited for change!
