This time Baby

Hey, so lately not much has happened. I'm still at around 170. I just can't seem to get myself to go out and excercise after school like I used to. So much school work. I need to get back into being motivated, I think thats it. I lost my motivation.

Anyways, I'm also trying to eat better. I saw a video, which I can't find anymore) where this girl was explaining her diet plan. Basicaly she started out replacing all drinks with water. So, im thinking, okay let me do that for two weeks. Just drinking water instead of soda and juice. Except maybe orange juice in the morning. Then she continues that but after those two weeks she starts to not eat starchy foods. So after two weeks I will keep just drinking water and then try not to eat any bread, especially, and only eat special K cereal. I think I will also make my own plan, for after another two weeks I'll take away foods that are unhealthy, depeding on what my mom cooks and what not.

But I really need to go out and excercise, I really feel like Im wasting each day when I don't go out and ride my bike or walk. When I do go out, I feel so complete. I love that feeling.

Thinspirations.

Before and After

(This isn't me) But that's pretty much where I am, at 170, and I want to go down to 125.

ugh, don't we all wish we were there already.

Maybe if I repeat to myself like I always do, "There's a reason for everything", I won't feel so bad.

But what's the reason? Maybe God is on my dad's side and I can't lose weight during high school or else all the boys will come prowling at our door. This is actually something my parents have said, not in those exact words, but something along those lines. Haha.

By the way, I used to own that shirt she has on the left. Just saying.

hm.

Once again.

Kay, so school started and I never managed to lose all the weight I wanted to. I'm pretty much the same. I felt the same, and thought I looked the same. Sure I was a bit thinner, enough that my double chin didn't stand out so much, but no big change. I think I had my hopes up to high, even if had exercised everyday, I don't think I would have lost all of my weight. The lowest I went was 164. Unfortunately, a few weeks before school started I found myself not exercising anymore and not watching what I ate. Thus I am back up to 170. Ugh. It's okay though, not going to beat myself up for it. I'm going to start exercising and eating well again, I am very motivated right now, so it'll all be fine.

Time to get serious

Hey guys! I just got back yesterday from my trip, it's been a while but Im back and during my trip I lost some weight! 6 pounds to be exact and although it's not much I'm seeing a difference and people around me are too. This makes my current weight 167, so excited, now Im working hard to bring that down, my goal for now is 160, hopefully I can reach that before school starts, I've got so much energy and confidence. I hope you're all doing great and having a wonderful summer which will soon come to an end. Oh boy! Love you all.

I can see the orange haze on the horizon as the morning exhales a yawn, and seems to be ready to rise

I am so happy right now.

This morning I was finally able to get myself out of bed and go out walking.

I stayed up until 4 am, watching a movie. afterwards I prayed for a while, read my Bible. Then I finally layed down and slept, haha for like 30 minutes. Then I saw a glow through my window and decided that it was the perfect time to go walking, not to early and dark, scary, unsafe? and not to late and bright :) .

So I went and had a wonderful time, I walked a little and jogged a little. I don't really know for how long, but I know that it was at least for half an hour. THEN! I stumbled upon some mango trees, and I grabbed some mangoes that were hanging out from the property, haha! I love mangoes.

Then I walked back home and was relieved to find my home and family safe since I walked out through a side door and left it unlocked, I was a little iffy because of robbers and stuff, But it was all good.

This was definitely a great start and motivation to keep doing this.

It was definitely worth it, and I felt the burn! Heck yeah! haha

Well I do love lemons

So earlier I got back from riding my bike and I decided to search on how to burn arm fat, and I came upon a site and read some helpful and interesting things, well about losing weight in general not just on your arms.

This is what it said
"1. One great underestimated workout for the arms is push-ups. You don't have to do a 100 push-ups a day. But Start of by 10 and then work you way up. Make sure to go slow. After a Week or 2 you should see improvements.

2. When you wake up in the morning drink 2 glasses of water with lemon in it. Water speeds up the metabolism and lemon makes you not so hungry. The stomach shrinks a bit when you eat lemon.

3. Go out and walk in a medium to fast pace. When you walk before breakfast you burn the most fat. Walk for about 25 - 45 minutes.

4. Eat a good breakfast. The optimal is Oatmeal porridge with fiber. This is great when you burn fat because carbs helps speed up the metabolism. If you eat a good breakfast you burn more fat.

5. Drink a protein shake. This is excellent, protein help burn fat.

6. Eat More vegetables. People don't know this but vegetables contains much minerals and vitamins that is needed when you burn fat. Broccoli is excellent.

7. Avoid white carbs. Once or twice is okay but this can ruin your diet.
You may notice that there was only one tip for your arms. But honestly, you will lose much fat from your arms if you follow these tips. The push-ups is more than enough."

Hm I do know that eating or drinking grapefruit helps you as well, and my mom and grandma have told me that drinking water with lemon does help to lose weight as well. But I don't know whether I believe what it said about eating lemons making your stomach shrink, I searched that but didn't quite find a real and clear response. If you know anything about this, specifically on it shrinking your stomach, please inform me or send me a link, thank you :)

Anyways, I really liked those 7 tips and will try to follow them.
I really need to eat better, I'm still not eating the absolute best I can, like today I ate some cocoa puffs with soymilk, even though I had specialK, then I ate some noodlecups, later on I ate a quesadilla which afterwards I really regretted because firstly I felt grossly full, and it didn't even taste that great. I've realized that I eat when I don't even need to or I'm not even hungry, but because of boredom. OH MY GOD NO. But no stress, I'll do better, I'm going to get on my calorie count account and stick to that, I haven't been on there since I first made it. Haha.

Jean Seberg

She is my new thinspiration. Well not like I exactly had one specific person before, but she is now. I love everything about her look and style. I've always wanted to cut my hair really short, but since I've never been very thin I'd never do it. I've decided that when I reach my goal weight I will cut my hair. Therefore I will be working very hard to do this. It has really motivated me actually, and my parents approve of the cut. Yay! I absolutely cannot go back to school next year being the same person and looking the same, I need to lose this weight and show the confidence that I really have.
