Hey People! So, I know that I am probably just writing these journal entries to give my fingers a workout, but I'll continue to do until 30lbs. are gone.
I've been thinking about cancelling my gym membership because I never go. I always do workouts at home or just walk around the neighborhood since its been so nice out lately, and spring here! Not to mention, save myself $27 a month. Ok, wait, I just had an epiphany, that is 324 beans that I could save a year!
Alright, enough with the math and the gym babble. I am going to start doing the Couch to 5K. I have been wanting to do this for a while now, and I think that this is the perfect time. Timed just right, I can run (using that word loosely, more like jog) a 5K before I turn 30 years old.
There are so many podcasts and training programs out there. I chose to do Running Into Shape's podcast for two reason: She has some semi-decent music and I support her for being a bigger woman and doing her thang!
Want to join, post a response or reply below. April 1st is the start day. No fooling around! Haha!

Reboot!
Juicing. It has been on my mind every since I watch Toyaboo2 video's on her juicing challenges and another YouTuber. I am really thinking about doing the Reboot Long Weekend or possibly the 'Plus Dinner' Reboot.

When I decide to do it, I will be sure to let you guys know! Also, be sure to check out the previous post with Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead movie. It was really eye opening.

Weight Loss Update: Vol I
Hey! I haven't been updating ya'll on all of the challenges that I have been doing. The previous post was for the Protect Ya Ends Challenge. I will not lie, I will be so glad when its over. Just because I want to wear my hair out, get a good trim, try some new styles, but most importantly stop wigging it up.
Anywoo, I have been watching was I eat and working out 2-3 times a week until the weather breaks and I can start walking/jogging/running on a regular basis. Also, I started using calorie count and it has really making me conscious of what I eat, even though I cheat every now and again.
No pictures yet, just some figures:
As of 2/19/2012:
191.8lbs
Waist: 32
Hips: 47
Thighs: 28
I still think that my scale may be off. I placed it in the same place this morning on the bathroom floor and I even took it to the kitchen and it still said that same thing. I am proud of myself. I feel like I am lighter and making a difference in my weight loss. Also, I it looks like there was a couple of inches loss, as well. The last time that I weighed and measured myself, I was on my period, so that may have had something to do with it.
I believe that thing that has had a positive impact on my past 9 days was: not eating fast food, consistently drinking 8 glasses of water, limiting carbs after 7 pm.
Now, If I weigh myself next week, and it something completely different, then I will be buying a new scale so that I can be accurate.
On 2/26/2012:
190lbs with the same measurements.
Overall, I have loss about 10lbs. I had a fluctuation in my weight to 199 at one point when I weighed myself about 3 weeks ago.
Hopefully, I can continue to lose weigh and inches so that I can get my stripper booty back, lmbo (literally)!

A Healthy Discovery!
So, I am trying to get back on track with my fitness and weight loss resolutions and I have discovered two ground breaking products that have changed my life. Well, maybe its not that dramatic, but still. For any of you that may be watching your calories or trying to lose weight, continue reading.
My personal challenge was to find a snack that can curb that sweet tooth that I have when that time of the month comes around. If you look at some of the chocolates out there, a couple of squares can be 200+ calories. While browsing Target I came across the Skinny Cow Dreamy Clusters Candy. Let me just say that these things are GOOD! Maybe the best candy that I have tasted. The one thing that got me is that they come in dark chocolate! I love dark chocolate!
This candy gives you just enough to take the edge off of your craving. I highly suggest these to anyone--watching your weight or not.
I loves me some water, but there are those times when I get tired of lemon in my water, lime in my water, lemon and lime in my water (affectionately called a Sprite The Hard Way), nothing in my water. Dang it, just plain water. I browsed my local organic supermarket, Giant Eagle: The Market District, and found Harney and Sons Organic Peach Invigorating Black Tea. On sale and something that can break the monotony of water...sold!
At only 20 calories per serving you cannot go wrong. Oh yeah, its already slightly sweetened--not with some artificial stuff either. Just be careful one bottle is two servings...speaking of bottles how funky is that one?!?!
Got a healthy discovery? Let me know! I'm always on the look out for some good stuff
