Okie dokie, so here it is.. One of the things that I said I would share on this blog as to what exactly it is that I want to change in my life…
I’ve joined SparkPeople. It’s a new year.. and it’s time for a new resolution! One of which is to lose weight and be more healthier! So, I’ve joined SparkPeople. What is it, you may be asking? Well, rather me explaining to you what it is, just visit their website. :) They do a way better job explaining their purpose better than I could ever do.
I started on Monday, January 4 and it’s now Friday, January 15 so I’m about 2 weeks into it – and I’ve learned that I can only eat 1580 calories a day!! Oh trust me.. it’s hard.. I’m not used to eating that little.. but so far so good… actually.. not good.. because I’ve actually been going over my maximum amount! But I guess it’s helped me realize to eat wiser and slower and to appreciate food more… because I can eat a meal in less than 5 minutes if I have to. But now, I’m more like, slow and steady wins the race!
In case you’re wondering how it’s going, whether or not I’ve lost weight, well I have! I’ve lost about 7 lbs in the past two weeks! I know, I know! It’s probably just water weight and you can’t even tell YET… but whatever it is.. I’m glad it’s working! I just need to get back into WORKING OUT more!
I actually did SparkPeople before where I lost about 20lbs and I was actually exercising 5-7 times a week, but then something happenned, and I stopped! And now, everytime I think about why I stopped, I have no good reason or excuse at all… so now, I’m back… and I’m hoping and praying that this is FOR GOOD.
I’ve started another blog for myself which will be used to just focus on my “battle” to better health. I didn’t know what to call my health journal, when I first started so I decided to use the words I had to one of the songs I had written which begins like this: “Constantly I find myself in a never ending battle…” Since this weight issue has always been a battle for me that seemed never ending, my blog title is called, “The Never Ending Battle“. So now, I have two blogs! Crazy, I know! But that’s just how I am – I don’t want to mix my business journal with my health journal… maybe one day, these two will merge to become one.. but for now.. nope.
So there you have it. I’ve joined SparkPeople, I have a new blog site , and if you would like to join me, please do and add me as a friend!
Here’s a photo of me and my very supportive husband, Ryan. This was taken at the Universal Studius Hollywood theme park last Saturday.
