So we have about four weeks until the end of the year and I KNOW some of my readers made a resolution to lose weight during the beginning of this year! I personally want to lose 15lbs. before the year is over which means I will only have 20 lose for my goal of 50! So this is where the challenge comes into play!

Thanksgiving Break!

So I'm on Thanksgiving Break and my school gives us a week off. This seems like such a great gesture but nope its kind of horrible. I am trying so hard to stay on my diet but every where I go there's FOOD!!! I mean every day all day my mom wants to make breakfast lunch and dinner... I mean its too much food, after juicing for a while I can't handle heavy foods at all I feel so full and run down.

Southern cooking is nothing like fruits and veggies lol I mean they find a way to even fry those!! So I'm kind of rambling but all of this is to say that I am trying hard to stick to my diet but its not working.

It's hard to be out of my element and my routine and everyone wanting to take me to lunch and dinner or cook for me. I actually want my juice or at least I want veggies. For me the juice fast actually helped aid in a life style change. Not just a get slim fast plan.

My diet isn't working but I still do insanity and I have even gotten my health ways to influence one of my sisters friends to lose weight. We did insanity together and had a juice and she seemed really motivated to lose weight. Insanity kicked her butt tho lol she was not ready!! Well I'm gonna go for a run and sorry about the delay to this post.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Juice Fast Day 1-4 0.o

Soo I'm supposed to be on this Fast but it really hasn't been going that great. Day 1 was cool I felt the urge to chew so I just made salad of the things I would be juicing. Day 2 I walked out the house for class and left all of my juice for the day at home so all I had was water and I found almonds. For most I'd the day it worked but I eventually ended up in a dining hall eating waffles smh. Day 3 started off great and then I realized I had to go to work. Now I work at the concession stands for all of my Universities games and trust me there is nothing healthy there at all. I think water has fat in it lol. But I did lose 1/2 a pound so hey I'm kinda doing this right.

Today is Day 4 and it has been very successful :) That's all I have to say on the subject.

Oh yea here's a picture of me now.

Juice Fasting...

So there's this blogger Miss Jia and she went on a 15 day fast after watching a documentary called Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. I knew nothing about juice fasting but I did a lot of research and watched the documentary myself and decided that maybe this was a good choice for me to also do a fast. I starter yesterday and I have already cheated when I went a friend's house around dinner time. But the thing thing is when juicing even after only one day the food didn't taste the same. I mean I put it on my plate ate a couple bites and didn't even want... Now this was strange because it was good food but it just I don't know seemed to be a little off so I just finished the rest of my juice that I had brought with me. Don't under estimate the power of fruits and vegetables!! I will post a link to the documentary and show a picture of my juicer. I got my juicer at Walmart and its a real small one but very affordable it was $39 by Black & Decker so on a college student budget that's like 3 night's of pizza lol!! Trust me its worth and you will see results but what you can NOT do is fast for 15 days or however long and then go back to your regular eating habits. Now that doesn't mean you can't have the occasional burger, pizza, or whatever junk food you like once a week. It just means that fruits and vegetables have to be the main part of your diet but I believe that you won't even want those things after the fast. I pray that your journey to weightloss be as fruitful as mine has been. :)

Insanity!

So I have lots of friends trying to lose weight! Which is awesome so I was talking to some people on campus that I knew of course but were weren't necessarily friends decided we would all do Insanity together at 6:30 every morning. We started 2 weeks ago and in we are now in week 3 and in those 3 weeks I have lost 12 more pounds!! I mean seriously this workout is exactly what the name says it is Insane!!

Week 1 I thought I would give up the whole time but luckily I had these great people with me who were also working on themselves and in return helping me. I mean the first day I said Fuck this and sat down for a while. (If my parents or grandparents are reading this I said forget this!) But I saw my peers still struggling through them saying come on girl you got this and I got back up. I was the heaviest and we all took weight and measurements together like it was no big deal. No one even batted an eye when they saw my weight which made them the coolest folks around to me!

Week 2 I thought as the weeks went by it would get easier but nah it wasn't getting easier I was just able to do more and in return get tired by trying to achieve more than I did before. But Shaun T that's my dude even on the tv he can motivate you!!

Week 3 I still get tired but now there's things that I couldn't do week one that I am doing now and still there are things that I can't do also.

IF ANYONE ON THE MICHIGAN TECH CAMPUS IS READING THIS AND WANTS A COPY OF INSANITY I HAVE ON MY COMPUTER AND I AM WILLING TO GIVE IT TO YOU SO YOU CAN START YOUR JOURNEY TO WEIGHT LOSS!!!!!

My diet

So me and a couple friends decided to lose weight go on a trip to Vegas... Both them bitches slackin but nevermind that. The first thing I did was get my diet in check because my parents both are from the south so I fry a mean chicken dude so living and eating like that everyday wasn't gonna work out for me. Also if you don't know I'm a college student wo its kinda hard to make healthy food all the time but once I learned about calories I was good. I first began to cut all fried foods then added more vegatables and then...I cut out all red meat. :( I have a gym membership at my school that is calculated right into tuition so working out wouldn't be an issue after three weeks of this I lost 4 pounds. So I really thought I was doing something with these first four I called everybody I knew lol
Back to my diet. I downloaded this amazing app called LoseIt. It's the best app ever!!! Seriously yall like all you do is tell them how much you want to lose and they tell you how many calories you should eat a day. You can also track the calories in your food by logging what you eat and what you do all day. I mean the smallest bit of activity can equal more calories for you to eat or more calories that you lost. Did you know that bowling is excercise?! I went bowling and while looking for my other workout I found out bowling counted too!! The best part about this app is when I went to parties I could count my dancing all night as a workout to :) Ya girl can get down!
I found this great recipe for Brown rice cheese and broccoli homemade. From one fat girl to another this recipe is delicious don't sleep on it. Researching different healthy recipes means you can switch it up and not get bored with steamed vegetables everyday

I'm Fat.

So all of my life I have been bigger than other girls but not exactly fat... I mean I truly do have a big butt (badonkadonk) and big boobs. So I didn't have to hide my weight at all because that was and still is most of it. Anyway I started my journey weighing 220lbs wearing a size 16/XL and a XL top. I am exactly 5 feet tall and many people would say omg she must be huge but nah bitch I look good compared to other people the same weight and taller. So here's my before picture and over the course of this blog you WILL see me drop 50 pounds.
