Not A Diet, A Lifestyle Change

For the past couple of weeks, I've lost 4 pounds by making small changes in our eating habits. Yes, my Family is in this too.

We eat whole grain pasta, whole wheat bread, plenty of fresh fruits and vegatables. Just by making small changes, I have lost a little weight.

My current weight is 144 pounds. My goal weight is 130. My plan is simple. After having my daughter in October 2008, I lost the weight and reached my goal weight of 130 pounds by the summer of 2009. So I put some of the weight back on. At 5'3 , I think 130 pounds is reasonble for me.

Some of the changes

1. Drink plenty of water.

2. Eat breakfast every morning.

3. Eat the recommended servings of my food by measuring with a cup or a spoon

4. Write down my food intake for the first couple of weeks.

5. Pre-package my snacks so they're always on hand.

6. Exercise at least 30 to 45 minutes 6 days a week.

7. And no eating after 7pm.

I'll keep you guys posted.

Broken

This is my very first entry about all things me. My life is in shambles. My spririt is broken.

I decided to start this blog about my weight loss and maintaining my hair while exercising, but I suddenly lost focus. It's February and I havent exercised nor established a healthy diet. I have sooo much time on my hands, and its killing me inside. I miss working. I miss having a life. I miss the old me. I miss the sronger me.

Each morning I wake up, I'm ready, but sometimes the people you love can break you down. I hate being waek and fragile. I hate it! I dont have a life plan....my dreams are sooo bleak. I need a plan. I need guidance. I need you Lord!

Starting today at this moment, with Jesus on my side, I will not let my love ones break me down, and I know I was put here for a reason. I have goals and dreams! I'm tired of feeling like I'm nobody! I know Im rambling but this is my only outlet.

My first step is to let God be the driver of my soul.....until next time!
