No more Excuses! ( I will get healthy)

So, Im going to love this Season on Biggest Loser the theme is "No more excuses" I have had my excuses when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle. 

Excuses: 

1. Work

2. Church

3. Have no one to work out with

4. Im sick

5. Its just too hard

6. I give up ill always be a fat cow

7. Other people are overweight and they are doing fine

8. guys find me attractive when im overweight

9. other people dont care why should I 

10. I have no self control when it comes to eating habits

11.when I was a kid I never learned how to eat right and have been overweight my whole life

No More Excuses! 1-11 are gone! I will get healthy! I was on a good track for losing weight in Firestone CO and one time in Florida too but I made excuses and well I gained weight. Im so embarassed that my heaviest weight was 240lbs. I cried so hard that day when I stepped on the Scale June 2011 . Never in a million years did I want to see that. I was so depressed after quitting Walmart that I ate all day long. Something was always in my mouth and I wasnt always hungry. I gained 40 lbs from my depression and eating so bad. I was walking everywhere but the weight didnt come off me because I was probably eating between 2000-3000 Calories a day. Pasta was my biggest enemy. Do you know those boxed pasta salads? I use to eat a whole box in one sitting then a few hours later I would eat another meal. I would also find change in my room and use it to go but a candy bar or 2 and Soda from the gas station. I was in love with food. I thought about food all day long...  Well right before I left Florida I started to exercise and I stopped eating so much. I even cut out soda. I lost 5 lbs doing that and plus I was exercising a lot by doing Taebo and Bikeriding. The weight should of came off a lot faster but I was still eating the wrong kind of foods... 

When I moved to Firestone,Colorado I lost 17.5 lbs because they had a program called weighandwin.com and their was a gym in the basement of the house i was living in. Also I did Turbo Jam. Once I got a job though I made an excuse of being too tired so I stopped working out as much. Before you knew it Thanksgiving was approaching and I overate. 

  Since,I  have moved back to Moberly I have been so focused on Job hunting that I started to do the mindless eating thing again...Plus I found myself eating out to socialize with friends. Christmas I overate too :-P Lately, I have been sick and I have been getting a ridiculous amount of sleep. Today after watching Biggest Loser last night and hearing the theme I decided to work out. I went for a Brisk walk for 2 miles and did some pull ups with a bench at a park and then later I walked 0.8 to my friends house. I was really winded and I think part of it is im still not feeling all that well but I am making a change and nothing will stop me. I also ate yogurt for most of the day. I was just going to eat yogurt but got really dizzy and needed to eat something else. I didnt overeat today though which is good but my stomach is rumblin. It takes time *Sigh*

Im also trying to be there for some friends that have the same motivation to get healthy. I hope they will help me stick to my goals also. By my birthday June 10th I am hoping to be at 175lbs. and then by September 2012 I am hoping to be at my goal weight 154lbs. I havent been 154 since the 7th grade and in 8th grade I was 185lbs. then when I was in 11th grade I went down to 168 lbs because I was in weightlifting. I didnt go past 195lbs until College. In college 2005-2007 I was between 200-226. when I moved to Florida in january 2007 I was 226lbs and went down to 186lbs and kept it off until the summer of 2008 when I worked at Mcdonalds then 2008 until Febuary 2011 I never went past 200-214lbs then I quit my walmart job and went to 240lbs when I left florida July 2011 i was 235 lbs then In Firestone the beginning of November 2011 I was at 217lbs. I havent weighed in much but when I weighed myself a week or two ago I was 223lbs :'( NEVER AGAIN! After I lose the weight.  I venture to say since then I probably gained another 5 lbs or so. I will weigh in sometime but I am not looking forward to it :-P 

At least today I started a new healthy lifestyle again and I cant wait to see myself at my goal weight by next September :-) I have to keep myself motivated because if I dont I will have more health problems down the road. I am also taking "One A Day" multivitamin for women. Well If you are reading this blog and you are in Moberly or close by if you want to work out together let me know :-)

All in All my diet is to eat smaller portions and eat more veggies and fruit. Supplement snacking with Whey protein that I have and Exercise 5 times a week.  I also will do portion control like I was taught with weigh and win. you sides should be no larger than the palm of your hand and your main course no bigger than your fist.

Tomorrow is day 2 I will be doing either Taebo or Wii Boxing :-)
