Hey guys,
Here I am with only 2 workouts left of the first month of Focus T25. I have lost a total of 3 lbs. I know that is not a lot at all. I am very disappointed. I am disappointed in the progress I've made. I've done Insanity and Insanity Asylum and this is just not doing it for me. I hope month 2 is way harder. I sound crazy don't I? I am proud that I have stuck it out. I need to give all credit to the challenge group I am a part of. We have to take a picture of yourself once you are done with your workout EVERY day. That holds you accountable. You could easily fake a picture but I would hate the feeling of cheating and guilt. I still need to work on portions and saying NO to junk food. I am doing better on both but it's still a challenge. We all have our faults.
This once skinny girl who got fat is determined to be skinny again. If it takes me 3 yrs or 100 I will keep on trucking.
Until Next time........

Another week, Another Pound
Hello guys,
How are you? All is well on my end. As I stated in my last blog post I would be starting Focus T25 and I have. I am on my third week. I am really liking it. It's only 25 minutes a day and that's really no time at all. If you have done Insanity Pure cardio it's kinda like that.
I've lost 4lbs so far which I wish was more but 'slow and steady wins the race' right? I can tell a big difference in my arms and waist, I've lost a couple inches. When I started I also started with Shakeology(chocolate) which I REALLY like. I really wasn't sure if I was going to like it but it turns out every morning I can't wait to have my shake it literally is a SERIOUS craving for me. Which I'd rather crave that then junk food.
I am going to try to incorporate another workout in with T25. I will update you with how that goes.....
Here are some recent pics of me. I can tell a difference in my face!!

Lifestyles, Life Change
Hey everyone!
It has been a little while since I've updated you. I've been busy and my other lap top has crashed. So I am using an old MacBook from 2009. It's better than nothing but I've always been a Windows person so this a change I am still trying to get use to. I have a webcam but still have no idea on how to use it.
This week I've started Shaun T's new workout program, Focus T25. It's a workout program that is ONLY 25 minutes. So I've been getting up at 5 am and I am done by 5:36. I bought it as a challenge pack so I got Shakeology with it. I got the chocolate one. It's only the second day but I can definitely tell a difference. My appetite is like not even there. Yesterday I put bananas in my shake and I didn't like that at all. It tasted so thick and chalky. Today I just put more ice and just the powder and it was SOOO good. I had to force myself to drink it all though bc I was full before I was even done. I think if it works like it says it does I will continue to use it.
I still haven't reached my goal but that's my fault. I stopped working out and started eating more junk. So I gained back that 5lbs I had lost. I got bored with my Insanity and Insanity Asylum(I don't what my deal is.) With this challenge pack I have joined a challenge group with people completing the workout program with me, so I am hoping this keeps me accountable and motivated.
Here's to hoping my life style is a life change.

A little closer to my goal
As you can see by my title that I am a little closer to my weight loss goal. I have lost 5lbs since the last time I have updated you last.
The reason? I had 4 of my wisdom teeth removed and coudln't chew. I can barely chew now so I foresee me keeping this weight off. I haven't exercised in almost 2 wks bc I wanted to give my gums time to heal properly. Next Monday I will be back on track.
How have your goals been coming a long? I hope they are coming al ong just fine.
Until next time!!

Another week down 2 more to go
Hello everyone!
After tomorrow I will be done with Insanity Asylum week 2 then Sunday I will start week 3.
It's been very hard and trying but I love the exercises. I love it because it challenges me and I never have time to be bored. That's always a problem..... I get bored quickly. Now I need to start eating better to see better results. I am eating OK but I need to eat cleaner. I've lost a little weight and getting toned but I could be doing better, I'm the only one holding myself back.
Doesn't it seem like every post I keep saying I need to do better with eating? It's such a challenge. It's so hard to admit and realize that I do have an addiction to food. I heard this one quote that has stuck with me " Never tell yourself you can't have that food tell yourself I CAN have that food but I DON'T want that food."
That's a good one, huh? Well, I hope to accomplish better eating this week. Baby steps, baby steps..... I must remind myself constantly that I am not perfect.
Until next time!!

Will it ever end?
Hey guys,
Just another update.
Today I decided to step away from social media. I have made a promise to myself that I will not get on Facebook and Twitter. I am not leaving forever but I do need a break. I need to get my mind right if I really want to love myself and succeed on my weight loss journey. I am so deep in self hate for myself that I can't go a day without wishing I had someone else's body. Do any of you feel this way?
It consumes my mind at every corner. It makes everyday tasks a little harder. For example I could be cleaning and I bend over and I can think is "I wish I had a flat stomach." This kinda of thinking brings out negativity in me. When I go on Facebook and see others and what they are doing in their lives when they something that aggravates me it irritates me ten fold, so this is why I am forcing myself to stay away.
I did good all week except last night and today but I don't feel as bad but I do feel disgusting. I pray in time that things like this will not make feel that way. I can feel everywhere but my body that I am losing a little weight. A little is better than none and I hope I can learn to accept that I won't lose all of it in one day. That's why they call it weight loss journey and not weight loss day, right?
I will still stay on my blog and Pinterest and do some Youtube updates but only bc I need an outlet and I feel like this is helping me. It's like my diary......
Until Next time,
Juana

Get back on track!
Hello guys! How have you been? I've been Ok. I can't really complain. I had a nice holiday season. It was nice but like many, I happy to be back to my regular routine.
If you are like me you used this excuse to get off track " Oh hell it's the holidays I will get back to it afterwards." Does that sound familiar? Well for me it does. I was going to go back on Herbalife next week but I already gained back all my weight that I had lost on it, so something lit a fire in me to start again TODAY!!!
I've had my first shake today. I mixed it with bananas and ice and it was actually pretty tasty. I took all my vitamins today. And now I am drinking the tea. IDK if the shake gave me energy or I am just on a high but I've already did all my household duties, besides making dinner, and I was finished by 8am! Whoa! If everyday was like this I would be in HEAVEN!
How has your weight loss been going? I would really like to here about it.
Until next time!
