The Journey Continues....

The road to a healthier me just got a major jump start.

After trying different foods for the last few weeks, I have decided to go gluten free, sugar free, and eat only complex carbs for a little while. It was hard at first, but its all about training your brain to say no to all of the unhealthy foods.

For me, it's basically just cutting out bread and the processed foods. Oh yeah, and the chips when I go to the Mexican restaurant! That's going to be the real test!

My goal is to be below or at least a few pounds from 200 before October. I only have 15 to lose to reach that goal, but for some reason I seem to be stuck at the 212-215 range. So, I think this strict way of eating, combined with the 4-6 mile walks will do the trick! I know what your thinking. You can't believe that mentioned my actual weight. Well, you know what? It's just a number! I have come a long way to reach number I'm currently at and I'm damn proud of it! :)

What I have learned over the last six months, you have to exercise AND eat healthy if you want to see results. I didn't jump in cold turkey and I think that has helped a lot. Start out slow with new foods and recipes. Stop making excuses to exercise. You don't need a fancy gym to workout or those expensive weight loss and calorie counting gadgets that are worthless and a waste of money. If you really want to do it, you will make it happen at home or wherever you're at! I suggest downloading the free app for iPhone/Android called MapMyWalk and just start out walking around your neighborhood. You will be surprised how just walking 2 miles everyday or every other day will quickly bring in results!

If you're thinking about changing your eating habits, go for it! It's not going to be easy at first, but just think about how good you will feel and look!

Good luck! :)

10 Things You Must Give Up to Move Forward

Good Morning Tuesday

Good morning! I thought I would take advantage of this free time to blog a little. It's been a few weeks since my last post. :)
It's a rainy day here in Georgia. That can either be a good thing or a bad thing. Good because I won't be out and about, and bad because I'll be tempted sleep all day.
So, it's good so far. I'm sitting at my friends kitchen table with the hot glue gum fired up and ready to make some beach sand ornaments. I'm hoping to avoid the urge to take a nap. After staying in bed all day yesterday with body aches and a fever, I'm pretty sure I am well rested and will stay awake. I feel so guilty when I'm sick in bed. It makes me feel like a bad mom. I was to sick to even cook dinner. Ian had to go buy McDonalds for dinner. That was totally against my healthy eating rules, but I was so sick I didn't care. That's how bad I felt. Anyway, today is a new day and I can start off the day right!

Well, the glue is dripping out of the hot glue gun. That means that it's ready to go! Time to get crafty!

Have a fabulous Tuesday! <3
