Day one: Reorginizing, Cleaning, beginning

Today I made some positive moves and not gonna lie i slipped a little but.... that slip could have been much worse, but still now that i'm writing about what i did is kinda gross. Yes i had a box of mac and cheese but i did some other great things today that i think out weighs that stupid thing that i did so its not in the picture, all i can do is move forward :) I read something online today that was if plan A and B dont work remember there are 24 other letters in the alphabet which is completely true :) so i'm currently on my plan C of losing weight if you think my journey in 2009 that was my plan A 2010 which was my most successful journey was plan B and now the journey I'm on right now is my plan C :)

Like i said yesterday i was going to clean/de-clutter my house and i did a lot of that. I did laundry, reorganized the cupboard and threw out so much junk that we didn't need in the house. I still have some closet cleaning to do but that can be done tomorrow. I as well e-mailed my hubby a grocery list of food that is going to be good for me to have on the mccombs "friendly" plan.

The list was:

• Celery
• Broccoli
• Whole Chicken
• Red potatoes
• Eggs
• Tomatoes
• Garlic
• Apples
• Bananas
• spinach
• Brown Rice

with all of those things i made the following

-I roasted the Chicken

-Roasted Red potatoes

-Made a stew/soup with the carrots, celery, frozen peas, red potatoes, brown rice, chicken from the roasted chicken i cooked.

-sliced up a pinapple so i can make my green monster smoothie in the morning.

-the soup that i made is going to feed me for at least a week so i know i will have the food on hand that i need to eat healthy.

I also think I'm going to go to the craft store tomorrow and some vases and letters and create a weight loss vase like the one pictured. it would be a great way to note my progress and see how everything is moving along.

I'm also going to make this tomorrow as well. Every time I work out I'm going to put a dollar in the jar. That way when for instance i work out 100 days i can get a new outfit with my new slimmer body. How much fun is skinny shopping :)

Food for the day:

• Banana
• Dr Pepper
• Box of Mac and Cheese *yeah that was stupid* 
• Roasted Red Potatoes
• Roasted Chicken
• Steamed Veggies
• Strawberry Sorbet

Exercise:

-Well i cleaned my apartment, Does that count? :)

Starting Weight:

 229 Lbs

*I never want to see this number ever again on the scale. This is horrible and bad, NEVER AGAIN!!! EVER!!!!*

This is just a starting off point and i will get to where i need to be again VERY SOON!!!! I know that i will. 

Goals for tomorrow:

-Do some sort of exercise

-Clean the clothes out of my closet

-more laundry

-Clean out the fridge including the Freezer

-Drink more water 

-Drink no Soda

-Take before pictures *uggg i'm so dreading this*

-Take Screen Shots of the 24 hour fitness schedule

-Dust off the gym bag and get it prepared for getting ready at the gym and so forth and clean out the crap in it

-Find a gym buddy

Current Song Playing: Boyfriend - Justin Bieber *yeah you can judge but its freaking catchy as hell*

Current Mood: Irritated with people but... excited for the new changes in my life

Hope you all have a great night!!!

Cutting the Bull shit!

I feel like as of late I just haven't been able to take anything seriously. Its like i just can't get my body and mind to connect on what is truly going to motivate me to lose weight. I feel like i get this bubble of motivation like i did after i watched fat sick and ready to die then the motivation teatered off. While yes i did the juice cleanse and yes i lost about 10 lbs doing it. It just wasn't a realistic thing for me to keep up. I really in all seriousness need to get back to the basics of what worked and what didn't work. I need to stop with the quick fixes. For example i LOVE working out. I LOVE doing TurboKick, in fact it is my obsession, i mean i am a certified turbokick instructor! When i'm working out and eating healthy i'm a fun person to be around. I know all of this to be true it is just so hard for me to put all of the basics into work and i know that this is a struggle that most of us out there have. We know what to do to lose weight its just a matter of putting those steps into play. So basically i need to CUT the Bullshit out of my Diet and exercise and get back to the basics of what i know to work and what i know i enjoy doing.

First off.... What i know i love
1. I love the friends and community i joined when i worked out all the time
2. I love Turbo Kick
3. I love running crazy as that sounds i really loved training for the half marathon last year with team in training
4. I love Teaching Turbo Kick. It is one of those things that i miss so incredibly much. I miss how motivational i used to be :)
5. I love how i feel when i work out
6. I love how i feel when i'm skinnier
7. I love how i feel when i'm eating healthy
8. I love how i'm much more positive and a much more fun person to be around
9. I love how i had found a way to maintain a healthy lifestyle
10. I love how i felt, looked, and maintained my daily lifestyle!!!

Second my excuses of why i'm not doing what i need to be doing
1. I don't want to start over again
2. People are going to lok at me differently in the gym bc of the weight i have put on
3. I don't want to fail again
4. Its so hard with having a job that has a schedule that is all over the place
5. The apartment is so small to cook and prepare things *what a bullshit excuse but its true*
6. Non of my work out clothes fit anymore so i have nothing to work out in
7. My feet/joints hurt from being on my feet all the time
8. I'm too tired
9. Its to hard
10. Its easier not to think about what i'm doing

Its funny how all of those excuses that i have would all be put away and be put in a box of they aren't there anymore if i just began to clean up my life and began to get my exercise and life back in order.

The above listed excuses cannot be an excuse any longer. I have reached the highest weight i have ever been and i'm the unhealthiest i have ever been in my life and i need to change this ASAP. So that is what i'm going to do. I'm going to turn into a work out feind again and i'm going back to basics of what i know works because what i'm doing right now is just sending me to a short and unhealthy life. I don't want to spend the second half of my twenties being overweight and unhappy and this has to change now!!!!!

So in turn tomorrow!!! I'm cleaning my entire apartment. Cutting the crap and getting rid of the stuff we no longer need. We have allowed our apartment to just become a cluttered mess and i can't have this any longer and it has to change. Secondly, I'm going to text my husband a grocery list that will bring me back to my roots. I'm going to create a work out schedule for the rest of the month that I am going to be accountable with, and i'm going to be accountable with this blog and with myfitnesspal on my iphone. I have to make this change because i have made excuses for far to long and this needs to end now!!!!

So my Goals for tomorrow are going to be simple:
1. Get rid of the junk food that tempts me in the house and organize our pantry cupboard bc it has gotten way outta hand.
2. Clean the house and cleanse my closet and bedroom of old clothing and so forth.
3. make a healthy grocery list and meal plan for the week
4. make my work out schedule for the month of april and make the time to go to the gym!
5. premake, soup, brown rice, whole chicken for food for the week and precut and wash all vegetables.
6. Tomorrow is going to be the last day i have a daily diet soda. no more after tomorrow!

I want this post to be the last. OMG i totally have f-ed up so here are the changes and things i'm going to implement bc i'm getting sick of this!!!!

this all has to end now.

Until tomorrow my fitness friends!!!

XOXO,

Alysha

New day new journey!

My husband got me to watch this movie called Fat, Sick and Nearly dead and I have to say that this is one of the first things in a while that has really got me motivated to get back on the wagon. I have been living a big lie as of lately and I'm so tired of it.

So my husband and I are going to do a juice fast together and I'm excited to do it together because we have never done something like this before!

Watching this movie the amount of changes that are happening from just doing a nice fact which is something that is so simple and makes such a huge difference. They follow two different people and together they lost so much weight and I know that I can get the me results I just know it!!!!

So keep tuned for what is going to be an amazing journey!!!

Today is the first day...

OF THE REST OF MY LIFE!!!

As much of a cliché that it is it is true. One of the things that really has helped me push to that level and make myself change is the wonderful word of Pinterest and their fitness bored. 

I see pictures like these and it makes me think damn I can do that and why is that I'm stopping myself and the simple fact is that i have been lazy.

It brings that motivation that i really need! and i'm so happy that i found Pinterest because it truly helped me get back into gear!

The last three weeks i have been focussing primarily on getting back into the gym and i have sucessfully worked out three days a week the last three weeks which is huge for me because well the gym has been a place that hasn't seen the likes of me since May 2011. So I'm so please to be back but..... now that i have the workout bug again my food needs to come back into effect because as the sign below says.....

Its not just exercise that is going to get me that Rocking Body that I want. But it doesn't hurt and thing!

Although truly I wish i could just say this:

to my body but in reality yeah that won't be the truth i have to put the effort into what i want to achieve and i have to set out and make myself have the will and the strength to put for my efforts and have my goals achievable and attainable. 

One thing i was waiting for was 11-11-11 with the #push challenge with Chalene Johnson but you know what in that time i could gain more weight and put myself even further behind. I can't wait to start the challenge and yes i will post about it soon!!! I will still do the challenge but I'm going to begin working on what i need to start now rather then put it off till monday or whatever the case is because that is what I have been doing for the past year!!!! So yes i will #push and challenge myself now and today instead of waiting!

Along with the push challenge i'm also doing:

• The 30 day Burpee challenge! It is with Your Inner Skinny. I'm starting at one but hey! after i do the first 30 days i'm going to do it again starting at intermediate.
• This picture below because i believe it will create AMAZING results!!!!

• And I'm going to start to run again because of this!!!

Thats the game plan and it starts immediately. Not tomorrow morning but right this minute!! I can do this because i've done this before and i can do it again. But this time...... ITS FOR REAL AND THE LAST TIME!!!!
