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. Please message me or leave a comment! Let me know you are reading this if I a helping you. What I can talk about or do to improve this blog to help more people get to their target weight.
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.

How many pounds is enough? Will I be able to keep this off?
So some of you maybe wondering how many pounds should I lose. It's hard to say a exact number considering all of are bodies are different. The way to know if you are a good weight is just to take a look at yourself in the mirror. Ask yourself am I skinny enough do I look healthy and not like I need to eat. If you look online you can also ind sites that will tell what is considered a healthy weight for your body. Another question that tends to go through peoples head when you lose weight will I be able to keep this off? That is a good question. It can be very hard to keep from gaining back all the weight you lost. If you lose weight to fast it can be really bad because you gain it all back due to your bad eating habits. Losing weight isn't about temporally changing your diet so you lose pounds/ It is a life style change. To sustain a good weight after losing some pounds you will need to continue to watch what you eat and exercise to keep for gaining it all back. It is a long process being able to work into you everyday life and keep up with it but it is possible. Currently I work at three to four times a week and plan on upping that to maximize my weight loss. Now I work a full time job from 4:30pm to 1:30am mon - fri and spend up until I go to work asleep since I decide to stay up all night after work so I have worked in between 3am and 5am to workout. I do this Saturday, Sunday , Monday and Tuesday. Then I rest for a few days due to my abs hurting. I try to tone my stomach along with work up a sweat when I workout. I have worked it in to my schedule this way so I can make it a habit even after I am finished losing weight I will keep doing this. As time goes on it gets easier. But I am very upset with myself if I don't stick to this. Especially when I make up silly excuses like oh well I don't have time I have to get up early. Or well I walked around all day I don't need more exercise.
If you haven't checked out my other postings I suggest you do they all carry good advice on weight loss.

Tips and Tricks to weight loss
# 1 WATER :)
Drinks lots and I mean lots of water. A lot of us of us don't get enough water in our everyday diets, so we tend to carry some extra water weight. By drinking water you will not only be helping to care for your body better but it will help with flushing out all that necessary water weight that your body is holding on to. Skip the sodas and fruit juices for the day or just limit yourself down to one. If you don't like just regular water go to the store and get the little mix in packets to flavor your water They sell them at most grocery stores.
# 2 EXERCISE
Although many of us have very busy lives we still need to exercise. It is a key part in knocking off a few extra pounds. Some of us work others of us have school and kids to care for. No matter your schedule you can always find five minutes here and their to do a little something. It could be running or walking in place or for those of us who don't like to do that or prefer not to you can do sit ups and push ups. They both work you ab region and help you build muscle. Muscle weighs more then fat but helps to burn fat so gaining muscle is never a bad thing. When you have the time just look up work outs on the internet you will find many different things. A quick workout that I do every day is 15 sit ups, 15 push ups, 15 side sit ups,15 lunges, 15 squats and I try to make sure to go on youtube and look up the choreography for some of my favorite songs so I can dance to them. This only takes me around a total of 15 minutes.
# 3 Eating Right
A part of losing weight the right way is eating right. No this does not mean starving yourself. When you starve yourself yes you will loss weight will you keep it off? No I use to starve myself all the time to lose a few extra pounds and i would gain it all back with my bad eating habits sometimes I would even gain more. Try to watch what you eat. You don't have to diet to lost weight you can lose it by eating all your favorite foods if you wish. All you need to do is cut back the portions. Let me just say I love and I mean love junk food cake, cookies, pie and ice cream a few of my many favorite foods. I don't think I could live without dessert. I still have dessert just about everyday I take what I am going to eat and cut it in half. I by doing this I still get what I want but less of it . But if you are serous about losing weight and being healthy your going to have to pay more attention to what you are eating. Greens along with less grain and more fruit are going to be apart of that change. Different body types need different things to lose weight. Their are three main body types ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorphs. Take a look and figure out which is your and this will give you more of a idea what you will need to eat. If you don't want to look into it now that's ok I will be a post on each of the body types and weight loss tips for them.
I hope that all these tips have help you in you weight loss journey. I wish you the best of luck it takes time but losing weight can make a major difference in your life I will be adding more to this list of tips as time goes on and adding new post so keep your eyes out for those.
Trick # 1 Share your dessert
If you think bout it sharing your dessert with someone can be a great way to cut out a few extra calories. By sharing it you are helping yourself out and possibly even the other person. Did you know pound is made up of 3,500 calories? That's lot of calories don't you think. But by sharing your dessert your taking only half of the calories from that dessert. This can be done in other meals too it doesn't just have to be dessert.
