Creating New Habits

Hey y'all guess what???

IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!

In the past those two words used to be an excuse to eat pizza or junk food. But not today!!!

Last weekend I ate out four times! The first week of dieting just drove me crazy and I didn't control myself during the weekend and just ate whatever I wanted. 

This week I was filled with a new level of determination and I have kept to my 1200 calorie diet without going over. Unfortunately it rained almost every day, so I didn't go for my usual walks but I did T25. On some days I even added a TIU girls video to my workout. 

After a week of healthy eating and working out, I don't want to ruin it with my old habits of binge eating. Therefore, I am going to attempt to make a healthy avocado pizza on a flat bread crust drizzled with a cilantro mayo sauce for my husband and I to enjoy! Here is a sample: 

Amazing Right?

Keep Moving Forward

Hello loves! 

Today I completed day 5 of the T25 5 day fast track program  that was developed by Beachbody expert Shaun T!! Sometimes it can be hard to figure out what to eat whenever you are trying to lose weight which is why this  5 day  program is really helpful for beginners like myself because it gives you exactly what you are supposed to eat for the first five days of the workout. I did a little bit of research and you can find the meal guide online, but the workout you will need to purchase. 

The first couple of days were pretty easy for me to follow the program. However yesterday and today I am tired of eating healthy and my body is not used to small portion sizes. I am finding it really hard to stay focused. I think the first few days I were easy because it was the beginning and I was more motivated, but it's hard to break my unhealthy habit that I have been living with for the last 3 years. But I am not giving up! It took 3 years put this weight on, and it will probably  take longer to get it off. I am going to try harder next week and just push through until this new way of living becomes a part of who am I and not just who I am trying to be. 

The good news is I lost 1 pound in 5 days. It is a small number, but it is 1 pound closer to my goal weight.
