Getting back on track

So its been well over a year since my last post but I AM BACK and more determined than ever to loose this weight and get back on track. I just had my 2nd baby last month and I'm working very hard to loose 40lbs and get back to my high school weight. I am doing so by taking Zumba and Salsa classes which are AMAZAZING! I will do my best to keep you guys posted and post some pics of my journey. My goal is to be at least 3-4 dress sizes smaller by my daughters birthday in August.

At a Standstill

Well last week was an average week. I was only able to workout twice last week but both workouts were good. I caught the flu at the end of the week and did not push myself during the weekend to go to the gym. Honestly, I feel very disappointed in myself because as I progress in my journey and weigh myself in each week I always make an excuse for only having lost 5-6 lbs in one month. I have been watching every week the Biggest Loser show and those guys are waaaaay bigger than I am and they are loosing double digits every week. Me, on the other hand, haven't been loosing as much weight as I would have liked. By now I should have lost at least 15 lbs and I am no where near. I know I am beating myself up for not achieving that goal but if I don't do it, who will? Well, this week will definitely be different and so will the weeks to come. I have to be high school skinny by May, and with God's help, I WILL achieve my goal. I will not let anyone or anything stop me from getting there.

To all those who read this.... thank you for following me!

Cardio Hip Hop

Quick post:

Yesterday I went to a cardio hip hop class and it was AMAZING!!! My legs felt like jello after the class and I might go to the instructor's personal studio for some other lessons. I plan on not missing any of these classes on Mondays from now on because it truly was an awesome workout. My eating habits need to continue being improved but I am really working on having a healthier eating schedule. So far I have a very light breakfast, usually Lean Pockets breakfast, a Lean Cuisine for lunch and for dinner usually grilled chicken with something. Last week was a bit depressing for me because I only lost a pound. I think that I might not weigh in every week but instead every two weeks that way I can see more improvement and become so anxious. What do you guys think?? Well anyway, tomorrow I will be going to a Latin Fusion class (pretty much just salsa and merengue exercise). I will hopefully have time to post my experience on that class tomorrow. Have a good evening!!

Week 2

This week has been rough for me. I don't know why but it just has been rough. School has kept me busy and I think the fact that Monday was MLK Day and I was off, it kind of got me off track. Eating habits have pretty much stayed the same (meaning I have maintained healthy habits). I am eating less and exercising more. Although I have been following this regime I don't feel like I have lost a lot of weight this week. I am waking up tomorrow at the crack of dawn to make sure that I get a spot in the hot yoga class that I was unable to attend last Saturday. The class only has 20 slots and I was like #40 last week.

I think its so frustrating that when people set goals they always start strong and the fuel runs out very quickly. How do people stay motivated? I mean I want to lose this weight soooooo badly but sometimes it gets very hard and I feel like quitting. I think what keeps me going is that I have told so many people that I am going to loose weight by a certain time period that I can't let anyone down, let alone look bad. Everyone, I believe, is expecting me to fail and stay fat but I refuse to look this way the rest of my life. I will weigh in on Monday and give you guys an update on how much weight loss I have accomplished during week 2 and a total weight loss as well.

If any of you have any suggestions, please let me know. I need as much motivation and encouragement as possible.

Till later!

Frustration.....AGHHHH!!!

Well, weight loss isn't the easiest thing to battle. It's frustrating when every other ad in America displays some type of fried food or unhealthy habit. Fortunately I have a good support system at home and work that help me stay away from these vices. I've been following the progress of the competitors on Biggest Loser and I'm amazed at how hard these people work out. It puts my wimpy efforts of a workout to shame. Watching the show motivates me to workout harder and not make excuses. There is no way I could live with myself if I weighed as much as some of the people, actually all of the people featured on that show. It is awesome that they have realized, as have I, that being healthy is a lifestyle and have taken the time to change into better people. I want to be able to show people that I can do this and that I can overcome this excess weight. So far, the healthy trim pills have been an awesome boost to my energy. They definitely continue to curb my apetite and keep me focused. During my first five days I lost 5lbs. I will be weighing in tonight again and hopefully I have lost some more weight. My goal for this week is 5-8 lbs. So far my meals consist of lots of frozen meals.... Lean Pockets breakfast and lean cuisine meals for lunch. Snacks are either fruits or chex mix. For dinner, i cook healthy meals....with the help of the hubby. I have yet to find out whether or not I have been accepted as a participant for the competition. A friend of mine contacted me and asked me if I wanted to start a one on one competition with her. We have very similar weight loss goals and plan on achieving them!!! The prize, whoever reaches their weight loss goal or looses the most weight has to buy the winner a dress. We came up with the dress idea because we both have weddings to attend this summer. Our personal deadline is the first weekend of May!! I will let you know how this personal competition goes.

Well, I'm off to the gym! Till later!!!

Entered a Competition

Guys...

I don't know if anyone of you listen to the Bert Show. They are currently receiving applications for a weight loss competition and I entered it!!!!!!!!! I will not know if I will be chosen as one of the participants but I will keep you guys posted. I hope I can partake of this competition because the product they are utilizing as a dietary supplement is the product I am already using! I'm siked either way of loosing the weight so regardless if I am picked or not I will continue with my own personal challenge.

Till later!

Healthy Trim

One of the tools I am utilizing during my weight loss journey is Healthy trim. This product is a dietary supplement that is completely natural. So far I am on day three of taking the supplements and I can already tell you that my energy levels are awesome. I feel so energized its unbelievable. It has actually helped me out with school because I feel like I am so much more alert when I study. My appetite is under control and I am no longer as hungry as I used to be. Food was one of the first things I would think about once I woke up everyday... sometimes I would just contemplate on what my menu would consist of during that day. I would make countless excuses as to why it was ok for me to have one last meal at Zaxbys because it was cost effective ($5). It's actually embarrasing to admit that I was such an avid food lover but coming from a Puertorrican background that is not so hard to believe. All we ever eat is carbs or something fried and there is no such things as eating lite. But all that will have to come to a stop because I have to conquer this challenge I have given myself. If you guys want to learn more about Healthy trim please visit their website. The link is www.healthytrim.com . I am pretty sure you guys will love their products as much as I already do.

Till later!
