Weight loss: Starting Over

Since the beginning of December I have not really been overly concerned about losing weight. I was more  concerned about everything else that was going on in my life, and as a result I wasn't putting myself first. 

I had made attempts to stay focused and work out but slowly but surely I revert to my old ways. I gained about 6lbs back. I was fine with it because I knew I was eating horribly and I knew I wasn't working out and  I wasn't doing much other than laying in bed eating junk food. Now I am done being fine with it. There is no excuse in the world that can justify my decisions. If it wasn't for the hate loss challenge I would be down right uncensored right now but yeah I have to stay positive...lol I have decided that I want to lose a minimum 30lbs within the next 3 months. 

  • I am going to be working out for a minimum of 1hr a day. ( I will do more than this whenever possible but this is just the very minimum)
  • I will be eating between 1200- 1500 calories. ( I know from experience that if I eat a low amount of calories and I work out hard I will not lose weight. So on days when I work out a lot I will eat more)
  • I will be weighing myself every two weeks. (There are three weeks of the 15 in 15 challenge left so I will weigh myself once a week for this but once the challenge is over, I will only weigh myself once every two weeks.)
  • I will post everyday. I noticed when I do not post often about my progress I get side tracked. 
My 90days of Change Starts on Wednesday. Sir is going home on Tuesday and school starts on Monday, so  Wednesday seems like the best time for me to go full force. 

Thanks for reading :D Until Next time!

  6. Trust me day by day is how I take this journey. Sometimes me looking at the entire goal is too big to fathom day by day meal by meal.
