What I found easy this week: I haven't been eating as well this week with the kiddos being here, but I haven't gained weight so I call that a success! I have been keeping up with all my food in MyFitnessPal as well! You can follow me @ PurpleBug23

What I found hard this week: a lot has been going on this week and making it difficult to eat the way I am suppose to, but I am not gaining so thats great! Next week is new!

Goal for next week: to exercise and eat healthier!

My first goal: 30 pounds

My Reward: a new tattoo!

So I am almost to a 10 pound weight loss and I think im gonna reward myself with something nice for it too, but somewhat cheap! Dunno what yet, but I will let y'all know!

Fitness Friday #3

So its that time again, time for Fitness Friday with yours truly and Kelly @ Today Was A Fairytale!

I am super excited to share my journey with you guys again this week!

Starting weight: 232 

Today’s weight: 225

Difference from last week: -1 pounds

Total weight loss: 7 pounds

What I found easy this week: I found it pretty easy to eat healthy, but I have had some cravings that I had to make sure to not give into. I have also been eating out alot and still losing weight and eating pretty decent! I have been keeping up with all my food in MyFitnessPal as well! You can follow me @ PurpleBug23

What I found hard this week: I didn't get to exercise again this week due to some severe headaches. Hopefully I can start next week on the Couch25K. I have been craving chips like crazy this week! I am trying not to eat any so in a couple of weeks I wont crave them anymore! So I have indulged in my cravings just once, but i have been feeling hungry a lot more lately and im having to really withstand temptation.

Goal for next week: is to eat healthy while my little cousins are visiting and not overindulge!

My first goal: 30 pounds

My Reward: a new tattoo!

Week 1 Day 1

So today begins my workout regimen and overall new lifestyle! I am very happy to be finally doing this. I have been in better shape before and was exercising and losing weight great!  I had lost about 30 pounds and I was loving life and then I got into nursing school and BAM! It all came back and more!

I am fixing to start my brand new big girl job sometime this week, hopefully! I am super excited, but this is my push to start losing weight! So I have signed up with myfitnesspal and have began the Couch25K program. It monitors my food intake, my exercise progress, and my water intake. I am very happy to have help with through this program. If anybody else has any other good programs to try let me know! I am trying to make a lifestyle change not a diet. My mom has diabetes and we do not know where she got it from, bc she was not overweight, so we think it may be genetic and that is not comforting. I need to make a lifestyle change to lower my chances of getting it. So I am working my butt off, literally, and figuratively to lower my chances as much as possible. 

Ok onto happier topics, I have got some new clothes for my new job! All I need now is some new shoes to top it off!

Anyways, check back with me each week for an update on my progress!

If anyone else is doing anything similar let me know and we can encourage each other!

oh here are some funny pics now!

So this is me now!

This is how I feel running!

How I feel when doing weights!

What i'm gonna look like!

Have a great day!
