Around January I was one of the millions who decided to lose weight and get healthy. I started p90x Classic and it was rough. I think my mantra that month was “Can I do it???” Sweat would be plastered on my face while my limbs cried out in defeat but I kept going. At one point I looked at my fiancé and told him I was quitting. He said okay. He has learned not to really comment just to accept since I am my biggest critic anyways. I kept going. I had to remind myself if not now then when? I won't magically come up with more hours in a day.
When we got into an argument and finally hashed it out 4 hours later I still worked out that night. I worked out when I was tired because I had to be honest with myself and give myself ground rules. If I was too tired it meant I was asleep. If I was surfing on the internet or watching tv then that wasn’t tired enough. I did what I could and was satisfied with that. If I am ever too tired I literally fall asleep when I get home then that’s too tired and that’s okay if I go to sleep without working out that night.
I didn’t diet the first month. I focused on simply staying alive lol I indulged in some pizza and some 4x4 german chocolate brownies provided by my local grocery store. I weighed myself and kept assuring myself that surely something was happening and no one who dieted and exercised for a long time ever experienced nothing. I concentrated on other things I could easily improve. I began taking fish oil for my hair, I got a new jacket since my size won’t change too much, I got new makeup and mostly I began to feel better about myself.
This is month 2 and my mantra this month is “I can do it!!!”. I have limited my carbs to under 100. I sort of follow the primal blueprint which was created by Mark Sisson. I don’t completely do it because I think I can find a nice balance. I drink coffee before 5 pm if I need it and I only put milk in it. I drink water the rest of the day. I don’t drink juice because I feel like there’s too much sugar. I eat flourless bread from Trader’s Joes with their raw almond butter and their strawberry jelly which is reduced sugar. If I cook I try to cook with olive oil or coconut oil.
January Beginning Weight 160-163
Start of Feb weight 153
My Goal is 125-130 and to maintain it.
This journal is hopefully to keep me inspired so I can look back on page 1 when I feel like being lazy and remind myself how hard I am working and how much I want it

I will probably try to write down what I eat on this but I won't use the online calculator. I have cut back completely on junk food just because I don't crave it right now so I don't want to start my slippery slope back to sadness. If I want some chocolate then I wait about a day or 2 and if I still want it then I will go and get 1 thing of twix rather then the bag I used to consume 
I love me some twix lol
I haven't done plyo yet but I'm not looking forward to it.. oh well... I'm putting my effort into making this summer a summer of skinny 
This usually happened because people were just too chatty so we couldn't move to the next sequence without my heart rate going down and my annoyance going up.
Bring it on June! I'm getting prepared
