Only The Beginning..

As everyone knows I'm on my second day of the first week; my meal plan. Truth is, so far so good. Which I am loving it very dearly. I am still 1000% positive it's working. Oh yeah! I will be posting pictures a long the way. My meal plan is working so far. How do I know? I weighted not that long ago as I stated from roughly 180 lbs / 81.6 kg then with the holidays I gained 3 lbs / 2 kg, which I came out to be 183 lbs / 83 kg. Out of no where today I weighed myself this morning. I didn't want to but I said to myself, "I might as well since I'm very curious about it." I did for the hell of it, the digital weight scale came up: 180 lbs / 81.6 kg. I was excited!!! I was like: OH YEAH!!! This diet it's going to be straight for six weeks. Then I will be changing my meal plan around. Yes, I have been exercising everyday. I've been doing High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). It's definitely working better then doing slow workouts and for long hours. It's better the HIIT. I recommend it for everyone. It's less time, higher heart rate, and you get more of a body workout. Yes, this is my second day of dieting. I will be posting the diet online once I am done with it. I will definitely be posting pics of me when I see changes. 

Digital Weigh Food Scale

I remember a long time ago seeing food scales. I would literally think to myself: "Why in the world would people want to weigh there food for? It's lame!!!" No need to weigh the food your going to eat. If you are hungry you just eat how much you want till you are full. I stated this when I was younger and overweight. Now look at me, never thought a day would come that I would buy a weigh food scale. I bought one recently from Walmart. I got a cheap scale since the digital once where pricey and well only had certain amount of lbs that it could handle. When I got it, I was very excited, till I realized I had to keep fixing the damn measurement stick all the time because it will outbalance itself all the time with out even weighing anything at all. Then out of no where I went shopping at Costco, I came across this other weigh food scale. I  actually liked it and the price was very decent for it since most of them cost twice as the amount or triple. It various since there are tons out there. I've even found one that when you weigh your food that tells you what how much calories, fat, sodium, and all that has in the portion of foods that you are eating. It's must admit is nice but it's way overpriced. Yes, it's pretty weird weighing my food then again I know it's well worth it to reach my goal.

Starting New and Fresh

Since it's a new beginning; it's a brand new chapter on a brand new book. That is why I have decided to not get off track this time around. I will have everything organize and set up on my online calender.  This time around I will be getting a meal plan set up. It will be a strict meal plan and exercising to help me get to my goal. Which is lean and toned; or either that simply shredded. Woohoo! I am 1000% positive that this meal plan will definitely work. All I have to do is stick with my meal plan and everything is good. This meal plan that I have I will stick to it for 6 weeks straight. Then once that mark hits I will change it up. I know there will be temptations on the way. Except I have to keep in mind that if I want to get to my goal I have to do what is best for my health.  We will see the difference within a few weeks. I would say in 5 to 6 weeks. I will notice a difference.

Getting Off Track...

I've been getting on and off track to due some problems that I have to attend and projects to finish up. I had only projects to attend to but this time problems had to pop up out of no where. I dislike this time of year because seems that problems happen the most. Not certain why but they do for me. 

I dislike the fact I get off track then again back on track then go off track again. I need to stick with my regimen. I haven't been able to stick to my regimen due to things I have to attend to. I know I shouldn't use this as an excuse then again I am drained after I'm done with the day. Then again I tend to lack the reason being since I work standing up for 8 hours straight. It has help me out with my weight loss. Truth is people still think I weigh 170 lbs / 77 kg. I don't weight that at all. I may look like it but I still currently weight over the mark of 182 lbs / 83 kg. I've notice during the Holidays I've gained 1 lb or 2 lbs. Which i don't mind at all but if I gained more than that. It isn't very good for me at all. Everyone I hope you get to enjoy or hoped you enjoyed your Holidays. 

Happy New Years: 2013

To everyone: HAPPY NEW YEARS!!! May all of your wishes and dream come true. Woohooo!

Week 1: My Workouts

Since it's been five to six months since I've have not worked out. I am slowly starting off again. This time around I'm starting off slow to stick with my workouts (exercises) :

This week:

      -Monday | Push Ups

      -Tuesday  | Push Ups

      -Wednesday  | 30 minutes of Cardio

      -Thursday  |  Push Ups 

      -Friday  |  Push Ups  - 1 Hour of Cardio

      -Saturday |  Push Ups - 30 minutes of Cardio

      -Sunday  |  Push Ups - 30 minutes of Cardio

Note: The push ups I do off this website is very interesting. Truth is it does work. It helped me out a lot. I'm back on it again due to the fact that I stopped working out. 

This upcoming week I'm not certain what I will be adding. I'm slowly adding other various workouts little by little because if I add a lot of workouts I might get overwhelmed or not do them, either that what ever the case might be. I am starting off slow this time around so I can stick to my regimen. I stopped due to the fact I thought I was happy where I was at. Truth is I was then again I took one look at myself in the mirror. I said to myself this: "If I lost 131 lbs / 59 kg  why not lose the pending weight that I have left to go?" I notice I go off working hard then out of no where stop. This time around I take time out of the day even though being busy at least 30 minutes out of the day and work out. The weight goal that I have in mind is to be 130 lbs / 58 kg. I made that as an estimate goal that I want to achieve but in all honesty. I want to lose the rest of the fat that I have. Everyone states I am fine the way I am. Truth is I like the way that I am except the fat that I still carry I can get rid of it by working out. Going to start with body weight all over again. This time around sticking with it. Another thing is that if I have came this far why stop now knowing I can continue and be where I want to be. 

Lately, I've been busy working and well working out. Also coming  up with a few projects that I will be posting on here on my blog for all of you to check out. 

-Never Give Up

Check In: 1 (My Weight)

Truth is I dislike stepping on digital weight scales. Why? I don't want to see the weight that I am and then get disappointed. I needed to stop doing that, weighing myself and then be disappointed. What did I do when I got disappointed? I would literally stop working out for weeks up to months. Why? I would tell myself I've been working very hard to get where I wan't to be yet it's not happening. This time around I had to change that up. I needed to stop getting disappointed when weighting myself. What I do now is weight myself, if I'm not the weight where I want to be at I simply smile an say as long as I don't gain 5 lbs. It's perfectly fine with me. What I do is work out when I can since I am busy working or either that doing errands. I still find time to do what I have to do. My job requires me to stand up, twist, squat, and move around a lot. It's fine with me though as long I'm not sitting in a chair behind a desk for several hours as I use to be in the past. I'm happy about my weight. A few days ago I stepped on the scale like two weeks ago and I weighted 183 lbs / 83 kg. I wasn't happy about it at all knowing that I went back to my weight I use to be knowing it's hard to lose it. This time around I didn't disappoint myself at all. I told myself that I have to get back to working out (exercising) even though my days are going to be busy. I got to weigh in myself today and well my weight is back to 178 lbs / 80 kg. Which I am happy about. I notice that I have to continue working out. I will be going to a few stores to get what I need to finish up my pull up bar. Do pull ups with the assistant band. I will be working on that because when my muscles get sore I don't do them the next day. I let my muscles relax for a day. I will be posting out my workouts once again and my meals. I'm thinking about doing a fruit diet for two months. I will check that out on how to get started. 

Note: My meals consist of me eating everything all kinds of food, no fast food though. Home made food and eating small portions.
