What a girl wants!

It's nice to know that no matter what I lose I will still be proud of the progress I'm making in my life. I couldn't be happier with myself! I know that it sounds like I'm being cocky but I am not! This is the best time of my life and I will make it the greatest I can! 

I've been slacking a little on my walking this week. With getting up at 430 in the morning and working all day in a warehouse can wear a person out! I will get better! I promise! :) I have been eating much much better! I tasted a beef burger tonight and it was good but it made me sick! :) that is a good thing! I think! Anyways I hope everyone has a great Sabbath day! Love you all!

Don't you ever feel less than perfect! :)

Today was an ok day. Not the greatest but not the worst! I know my strengths and I know my weakness. That is for darn sure! :)

I have seen some crazy things this week. I was looking for my shorts that fit and I decided to try on a pair I couldn't fit into last year and guess what THEY FITTTTT!!!!!! It was so exciting! Even my other clothes are fitting better!

I know this going to sound bad, however I am so proud of myself. I have never been this proud of myself. I love it! :) This is one of the greatest moments of my short life. This will be a short one tonight but I love you all! Happy Tuesday!:))

Charlie Brown YUM! :)

Today was one of the best days so far! I did my set and I walked! I walked around the neighborhood twice without wanting to shoot someone! It was great! :) This does get easier as you go! Yay!

I had a taco salad for dinner, instead of ground beef we used ground turkey and I first thought that it was going to be gross! It tastes just like ground beef! I don't know why I didn't start this eating healthier stuff ages ago! My grandma makes this desert thing called a charlie brown and normally its high in calories and high in fat, but since we were going to the Bishops house for FHE I asked her to make it healthier. So she used sugar free whipped cream, fat free cream cheese, sugar free pudding. It also has nuts which are good for you? (I think) Anyways, it was very tasty. Even though it wasn't the normal sugary pudding and stuff!

I am loving this more and more everyday! I might get discouraged at times, then my Father in Heaven lifts me up and reminds me that this is what I am supposed to be doing at this point in my life. :)

On a side note, Bishop texted me and asked if I would want to do a temp job for two weeks so I will be doing that for a few weeks. Yay! If they like me they can hire me! Which I think is pretty cool! Happy Monday! :)

This is a lot harder than I imagined, but that is ok!

I've realized the weekend is hard when it comes to food! Holy lanta! I still made some really good decisions! We were out all morning on saturday so when it came time to eat lunch we knew we would be out so we decided to eat at Zupa's. I had in mind something good but healthy and the thought came to my mind Zupa's. I had a chicken salad since I knew they grilled there chicken. And a turkey and tomato sandwhich! Not the healthiest choice but that's ok. I know that I can make up for it. I have been doing much better! \

Now im looking up some new healthy recipes! Which for me is something very foreign. Normally I'm looking up a new pasta or a new fried chicken recipe. I'm so glad I've taken on some new things in my life. I used to hate fresh veggies and fruit now I love them! I never realized that cooking with so many fruits and veggies would be so fun and exciting!

My favorite Breakfast food so far are the nutrigrain waffles and the banana roll ups. This morning my dad came downstairs and asked if he could make me some french toast with just egg whites, small amount of cinnamon. They were so good! OH! He used whole wheat bread too! AMAZING!!! I loved them! :)

If any of you have any healthy recipes you would like to share PLEASE do!!! :)

I have noticed the biggest help in this journey is going to be my Father in Heaven. This isn't going to be easy but it will be worth it! :) Happy Sunday everyone! I love you all and thank you so much for your support!

The Challenge has been accepted!

So yesterday (thursday) I met with my new trainer Trish! Boy do I love this! The one thing I noticed that was hard was getting used to new foods! Going from cuppycakes to veggie spaghetti and nutrigrain waffles might sound easy but for me it was a challenge. The challenge I accepted.

My exercise for this week is one set. 15 Wall Squats with the ball, 15 lunges on each leg, 15 torso stretches with the elastic thingy, and one plank. Which by the way after not doing this kind of stuff, your body shouts for joy and pain! lol! Need less to say I'm very sore this morning, but let me tell you it isn't stopping this lady! :) Walking everyday for 15-20 minutes increasing it by five minutes every two to three days. I am so excited for this new journey and life and can't wait till I'm healthy and all that jazz! :)

This wouldn't be possible without the strength and love of my neighbors and above all my Heavenly Father. Off to another great day I go! Enjoy your friday everyone! :)

The First Day of my New Journey! :)

As I sat there in the doctors office that day waiting to see him, I was dreading stepping up on that scale to know how bad it had gotten. As I stepped onto that scale and read the number I almost had a heart attack.

I've tried for years to lose weight and nothing ever seemed to work. I will admit that it wasn't the programs fault or anything like that it was because of MYSELF that I wasn't successive. Starting today that's changing. It wont be ME holding myself back! I will stop at NOTHING! No one or anything can get in the way of my own success story!  If you don't support me that's your choice. My choice is to stand strong.

I'm sure a lot of you are wondering why now? Why not years ago? To answer your question I have made a big decision in my life. I have decided that a year from now I will be submitting papers to serve a full time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I knew when I went to meet with Bishop Webb that the word "weight" would be tossed around. I was thinking to myself "how can I lose weight on my own?" "How can I do this with no knowledge of how." Then he said to me "there is a lady in our stake who has helped many people do exactly what you are going to do" There went my questions out the window. I am so glad that Heavenly Father knew what I needed to hear! He knew this is what I'm to be doing at this point in my life.

So starting today I will be the person I am suppose to be!
