Pause... Rewind...Refresh...

Can I get a restart?... refresh button?.... Something?....Anything?

When I last wrote I mentioned that Tina had come back...and she came back with a vengeance...currently weighing in at the most I ever had in life! 163lbs This ish has got to go! So I am giving this whole thing another attempt and I'm going to give myself little deadlines to try and keep myself motivated! Current D-Day ( Spring Break... March 8th) I'd like to lose at least 5-10 pounds.

1st step in a restart... acknowledging where I went wrong:
The main reason that I am weighing in in the heavy weight category instead of the light weight is because of my diet. My diet is terrible.. sometimes I have gone days, dare I say weeks without a green vegetable in sight. Fast food became a regular meal instead of a desperate situation. Not only did my diet turn despicable,  but I also stopped exercising (bad diet)+ (no exercise)= Tiny bigger n badder than ever

How to Turn this around... 
My diet is the first thing that I am going to do to turn this around. Making sure that I have green vegetables with all my meals as well as making sure that fast food is eliminated from my food intake period. Also making sure that I am following all the advice that I have put on my blog for others to read, remembering that I am first writing for myself and have to follow my own words. That includes exercising regularly and eating 5 times a day. Making a schedule and actually sticking too it! 

New Materials Needed!
When I first started this project I had my materials, well because I'm revamping my journey this calls for some new materials. Nothing like inspiration of a fresh start with some new toys!
  • Dumbbells (5-7 lbs) I got purple ones
  • Lunch Box...I have to make sure that I am eating at least 5 times a day so I need to make sure that I pack myself some healthy snacks. The well I couldn't find anything healthy to eat excuse just isn't going to cut it anymore.
  • Plastic containers (different sizes and shapes for all the different foods!..I know I get joy from the simplest things)
  • Swim cap and goggles...I am really going to make sure that I incorporate swimming into my exercise routine. When I was younger I used to love to swim I would make my mom take me to the pool everyday and swim my butt off! It's the best exercise there is! Full body work out! 
  • Stop watch...I want to start doing some interval training so I'm going to need a stop watch to do so! 
Lets get ready tooo looooooose weeeeiiiiiiight!!!!
Wish me luck guys! and hold me accountable!
