I'm back. As the months have passed and my email box has been having weekly reminders from fatsecret to do my annual weigh-in, I have been realizing just how much I neglected the journey I successfully initiated last summer while at home in Florida. I absolutely miss last summer and can't wait to go back for a visit, but when I do I want to be visibly lighter than I was when I went to visit my daddy then. I believe I am weighing in at 235 pounds right now, the weight that I lost earlier I have regained. And now I am having serious acid problems to accompany my extra chub. But I have decided to embark on gaining a more healthy and active lifestyle. I am working carefully and diligently, avoiding negative foods and trying to put healthier and easier-to-process food into my body. I will try to write at least one journal entry a week and make sure that my progress is carefully documented here. I'd love a fatsecret app to record the food that I consume while on the go, I have to go search for one.
Honestly, the hardest part for me right now is getting up and walking into the gym. I like the feeling of being sore, but never feel like putting in the work! I've been walking to school lately but I need more exercise in my day to be as healthy as I can be. I figure that since I am consuming fewer calories than I burn on a daily basis that my weight will begin to come off on its own, but I really do need to put in the work that is necessary physically to reach my goal.
And most importantly in this adventure is the important role that my Heavenly Father plays in this journey. I could not do it without him, and I am so thankful that God has put a word of positivity and inspiration in my heart to get things going back on track, and treat my temple as he would have me. God is love and I love my God. I will do as I said before and take this journey one day at a time, comitting it to the Lord in prayer as often as needed and I know I will be able to reach my goal with His help. Praise be to God!!
Easter Sunday was magnificent by the way, the pastor gave a message that was wonderful and everything ABOUT service was BEAUTIFUL!!!! I can't stop saying it. GOD IS SO GOOD!!!!!!! He wants his children to be happy and healthy. If you don't know God, I pray that you will take time to try to get to know our Heavenly Father. <a href=http://www.bible.com">Bible.com</a> has easily accessible versions of the Bible and inspirational pieces about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that can lead you to THE single most important part of life: YOUR SALVATION! Once again, God is love and I hope that whomever might be reading this will get a positive message out of it.
Have a wonderful evening, guys!!!! <33333

Hey! I went to church this morning, and haven't been sleeping properly the past two nights because of a finicky ear :(. Other than that, I'm well! Still getting these weird straining like pains in my chest. I don't know if it's anxiety or what, but I even get them when I haven't eaten yet! I'm a bit worried but it just makes my focus on losing weight all the more powerful and vivid.
Church was wonderful, and I once again dedicated my efforts in helping to make my body healthier and a true temple of God, to God. I feel even better about this decision to change my life, and am thankful that I caught myself before my weight problem got way too far. So, I've been eating Special K and Rice Milk every day, lol. It's a tasty treat, I just hope the rice milk is as healthy as they say. I don't like one of the ingredients it has in it ... <i>Expeller Pressed High Oleic Safflower Oil</i>. Quite a mouthful. I'm about to research it, and see if I need to change my milk substitute. My daddy told me almond milk is healthier <b>and</b> tastes better! Can't wait to try it when my rice milk is finished.
Anywho, I hope everyone's having a wonderful Sunday. God bless and will update a little later on, hopefully!!

Just checking in mid day. I did my exercise today! I did 30 minutes worth of cardio, but that included a 6 minute warm-up. So, essentially I did about 24 minutes of cardio. It's small in my opinion, but I know I have to work up to my goals.
I feel ... I don't know. When I started off, I was very happy, and while I was working out I was very happy. I'm still feeling <i>alright</i>. Just, life circumstances can be a lot at times. But, hopefully this new way of living/eating/taking care of my body will help things to become brighter.
So I decided to do things differently as far as food went, at the suggestion of my sister. Instead of eating then waiting for my food to digest, I ate a few big bites of an apple, had some water, then walked for about 7 minutes to warm up, then got on the Gazelle. Wasn't bad really, but I was working working <i>working</i> on that thing. I sweat up a storm. Then, about 2 and a half hours after my workout, I had a small bowl of Special K with rice milk, and a few more bites of my apple. If I get a bit hungry later, I'll dive into a bowl of watermelon that I have. I'm attempting to eat every 3 hours, small healthy meals, again. I pray it all works out!
Oh, and I noticed that while exercising, I had more drive to workout while I listened to Christian music! Of the Soca variety, lol. But still fed a good message in my ear, nonetheless!!! I hope everyone else is making significant progress as well. Oh, and I'll be doing my weigh-ins Sunday mornings. Buenos dias!!!!

So I'm new here. Hello world. I'm J. I'm ashamed of my weight, I always have been. I've never been one of those women who freely owned up to the fact that she was a bit overweight. In all actuality, I'm very reserved about my physical appearance. My entire life I've been overweight, at least as far back as I can recall. For a very long time, I've wanted to lose weight. There isn't a day that has come and gone where I haven't wished that I was smaller, or that my thighs didn't rub so much when I walked, or that I didn't have stretch marks here or there. My body image is completely damaged, and I'm aware of that. When people look at me, and find me attractive, I often wonder .. how? Why? What is attractive about -me-? Am I just a "pretty big girl"?
Diabetes, high blood pressure, hyper tension, and various other that go right in stride with being overweight run in my family. I don't want to be ailed with these sicknesses for the adult portion of my life. As a 23 year old young woman, I just want to be healthy. What has stirred me to actually take day by day steps to come closer to my ultimate goal of just being in shape, are weird pains that I get in my chest from time to time. The health care specialist at my school says he doesn't believe it's anything too serious because it's not a "crushing" pain, and because my blood pressure is normal and my heart rate tends to be normal as well, but nevertheless, I want to try and get rid of these pains as soon as possible. Thus, my deep and strong desire to make a better me was born, and also committed, on the date of June 18, 2009.
I plan to begin my exercise regimen tomorrow morning. I want to wake up at about 9, eat and let my food digest for about an hour and then hop on the "Gazelle" at 10. Hopefully it all works well. What makes this effort different from the rest, is my plan to take it one day at a time. That's all I can hope to do. I hope through positive motivation through my other half and family, I can make my goals a reality, step by step.
I also dedicate my efforts to God, and hope that he will guide me through this big phase of my life. Prayerfully, everything will go according to plan. Along with my taking everything one day at a time, I will also remember this Bible verse and use it to help me through this process, maybe it will be of help to anyone that reads this: <B>I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me</b>.
For now, that's it. I'll try to update tomorrow and let you all know how my first day of exercise on <i>operation J 2.0</i> goes. Haha, a bit of humor. Later!
