Motivation and Journey

I have had a lot of trouble motivating myself to lose weight watching what I eat working out. 2 months ago when you would  say time to workout I would give you a death glare. I hated working out so much. I found a wonderful site. www.dailyburn.com that contained fun workouts that I enjoy. But still it was hard to motivate myself to workout. Now I have discovered hoop dance and love it but still have motivation issues, You know what really motivated me? Two people the girl I meet who taught me about hoop dancing and a girl I found on youtube which I will leave the link below at the end of this. If they can lose that much weight i thought I can. I learned to stop looking at a workout as a punishment and am not enjoying it to the fullest. When I go to workout I think man I'm going to shed those pounds and come out looking sexy. That's all it takes and I'm off to my bedroom selecting a workout on dailyburn or grabbing my hoop and dancing.To lose weight you have to learn not to hate working out. If you hate it you won't do it or you won't work your hardest to work off all those calories. Along my Journey I have also learned not to consider what I am doing as a diet it is a life style change. I want a healthier life I am cutting out certain foods yes but most foods and be substituted. That is what I have started doing substituting foods for healthier choices. I still get to have dessert and eat everything I love I just substitute some of it or cut back how much of it I am eating.I hope that the information I have provided you with so far is helpful to your journey for a healthier you.

A new kind of workout

Once again guys i'm sorry it has taken me awhile to post. I have been very busy. My day in a pinch I go to work I come home I workout I eat and then play WoW for a hour then bedtime. Anyways so I found a new and great way to work off  those extra pounds. Do you remember when you were a kid? We had hula hoops. Now a a grown up we don't use the really anymore. Well turns out they are a great way of exercise and toning. They have weighted hula hoops for adults. So don't run to walmart a pick up a kids one go to your local sports store or even online and get a 2Ib 3Ib hula hoop and get hooping. It is so much fun you can dance or just hoop . I learned about this at a show I went to locally where their was a girl doing all these cool tricks with a hula hoop and I though wow that looks like so much fun. Not only is fun but she told me about all the weight she lost and muscle she gained doing this.I was amazed she used to weigh 252Ib and now she was only 110. She lost all this by watching what she ate and working out 3 to 4 times a week. Hooping was one of her main workouts she would do. The fact that she had lost 142Ib really got me motivated.

New Year!

Happy New Year everyone and Merry Christmas. I hope everything is going well for all of you wonderful readers. Sorry I haven't posted in awhile been very very busy. So this New Years just like all the other my resolutions on New Years was once again to lose weight. But it was a little different this time. I told myself and even wrote it down. Last year you lost 20 Ib and gained back most of that tell the end where you were working it off. This year I want to lose a minimum of 40 Ib. Double what I did last year and this year their is no gaining it back!
Have any of you heard of the Virgin diet the whole thing of lose 7 pounds in  7 days? Well you won't quite lose that much but it does work. I have been doing a bit of research because it caught my eye in walmart the other night when I was shopping. I thought it was just another weight lose diet book that tells you to do something and It won't work. But turns out that this author my really know what she is talking about. So stay tuned and I will write a post about her book next.
