I'm gonna love you like a Black Widow Baby!

Here I am again with an update. I am exercising 3 times a day. I switch from P90X3, T25 and Insanity. That keeps me from getting bored. I am going to add 2 more days to my regimen bc I want results. I am mainting weight bc like usual my eating habits aren't good. I have the portion part down. I don't eat as much or I stop myself when I begin to feel full. I used to gorge myself even after my body being in pain from being overfed. Food addiction really isn't a joke, those of us who REALLY suffer from it know how it is and how it affects you. Some people are just lazy and fat  and eat without inhibitions and say they are addicted to food. Those of us who truly are know we think about 24/7 and every bit of food good or bad we obsess over it.  It's a daily struggle.

I am not a perfect person so I admit I am still eating bad food more than I should. I had fast food 2 times this month. Which is WAY better than usual but still more than a human should eat. I admit to my faults and I hope by me doing so you can feel better in knowing there are true people out there who suffer like you who aren't faking that they love eating healthy.

What I hate more is a fit person saying all you need is motivation, willpower, and the mindset. Yes, we do need those things but for some of us we need more will power than a regular strong minded, blah blah blah person. If we fail they would call us lazy. Some of us are trying to overcome our habits of eating bon bons on a daily basis. At least we are true to ourselves and don't perceive a fit attitude and then go hide in the closet and stuff our faces. That's where we are different.

I want to motivate not only you, but me too. This is why I remain honest and true. Neither of us will benefit from feeding each other lies.

Everyday I struggle with fighting my inner self to on what I can and can't do. Some days I win but some days the devil inside wins. Each day I am wake up having to fight again. It's all I can do. Everyday is a battle and I am learning we choose on whether we win or lose. But remember this- YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!


last BUT NOT LEAST HERE IS SONG I LIKE TO WORKOUT TOO:

 

 

Until Next time.

Progess or lack there of.

Hey guys. It's been a little while. I am here with a update on how I been.

Did I mention last post that I had gained all 20lbs back? Yes, I got lazy. Well I've been walking 2 miles at least twice a week. While I feel better, I am not losing weight. I need to get my eating down pact. It's the death of me.

I started back on my Focus T25. I am going to rotate my workout dvds so maybe I won't get bored. I was going to do Insanity today but for some reason my laptop wouldn't play it. My laptop is going to crap.

My husband has said he wants to lose some weight so maybe with both of us holding each other accountable it will work better. I will keep you informed.

It's the freakin weekend bout to have me some fuuuuuuuuuuun.

....and by fun I mean shopping.


Hello all. It is Friday and I have a few hrs til my work day is over. I can't say it will be my weekend bc I will have to work tomorrow. It sucks but money in my pocket. I have worked out everyday this week.. I broke my 1 day then to 2 then to 3 day streak. Today's work out will be a 2 mile walk once I am done with work. It's so nice out I can't resist using natures offerings as my exercise.

Today I will bring you a workout song I REALLY like.

 

 

Miguel-Simple Things

 

I LOVE this song. I LOVE working out to this song. It seems so much easier to get through hard moves when are singing and not completely focused by how much pain and how hard it is.

 

 

Enjoy your weekend y'all.

 

 

 

Work Work ..Bitch.

Hey guys,

Here I am with an update. Today I did my own regimen instead of T25. I don't know what it is with me but I get bored with the same old routine when it comes to workouts. In all other aspects routine is key to me. Maybe bc I plateau so much when it comes to weight loss I continually lose hope.  That is something I am working on. I was keeping a journal of my feelings and such. I just stopped after awhile. do any of you journal?

I am going to attach some charts that may help you stay on track. I am going to take my break time and find the perfect chart for me and then fill it with exercises and make my own workout regimen. It's nice out again so I am going to walk in the evenings too.  I also bring a long my daughter bc it's bonding time and a way to get out the house.

Here I am and Here I stand!

Hello!

It has been a little while since I've been on. So I guess you might of guessed, I relapsed. We are human. I have been working myself into a routine. I started out not working out, then doing it once a week, then slowly moving to one workout and some extra exercise here and there during the week. So today I did my workout and I plan to workout tomorrow to. Actually.... I WILL workout tomorrow and everyday this week. Usually when I workout a lot my weekend "workouts" are going out to walk and/or run. I love to get out the house and smell the fresh air. It just puts me in a better mood.

I keep coming across this quote everywhere, so it must be a sign right?

I am promising myself a better me and healthier me. My goal is for a healthier me and in the process lose weight. I want my body to be strong, have muscle, be toned and pretty ...to me. I must work on focusing on how I feel about MY body. When I can love myself, everyone else can love me too. Everyday is a battle and I plan to win it!!



I am a regular woman facing a hard road ahead and this time I don't plan on stopping til I get to my destination. I need motivation, confidence, will power and most of all GOD to get me through this.

Come with me on my journey.

You betta work Bitch!

Today I am bringing you a post with a great song for a workout playlist. I will be adding more songs and such.


Today's song is : Work Bitch

It has a great beat. My favorite thing that makes it a great workout song is the lyric " You want a hot body, look hot in a bikini.....you betta WORK BITCH."  Isn't that what we all want?

 

Happy Listsening!!

New year, New me?

Hello!

It is now 2014! Are you wondering whether I am new and improved? Well...... the answer is NO!

I am still not at my goal weight yet. I actually weigh more. I stopped exercising for four months and gained all the weight back and then some. I got lazy. No excuses just truth. I bet you are wondering how in the hell can I motivate people to be better if I'm not? That's a GREAT question. When I made this blog it was to not only motivate you but to motivate me. I was hoping to find people who struggled like I do so we could motivate each other. I didn't put myself out there like I should of. I am a timid and shy person.

I am back to exercising but not everyday maybe twice a week, I will be back on my schedule Monday though. Usually when  say this I binge eat throughout the weekend. This time I will not do that. That's going to be different which I hope sets the stage for a better regimen and mindset this time around.

I will also be more active on this page. I will put up some videos, pics, and motivation for you and for me.

So here is to a new you and new me!!

Last Week of Focus T25 Month 1

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!!

Next week I am going to do a video update and body pics!!

That will be a big step for me, but I feel OK with that.

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!!

Hello Insanity Asylum

Hey guys!

It's been about 2 wks now since I last updated you....so here I am. I now have started Insanity Asylum.
Today was Day 1. It was so hard but good at the same. I'm very excited for this journey.

Check out my video for more details.

Until next time! Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have.

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

New video upate

Here is my new video update......

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDM-xk4eUoU&feature=youtu.be

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!

-Juana

Failure is my friend

Hey guys,

Well, Christmas is now over. I had a great one and I hope you did too. I am happy but sad to see the season end.

This is a blog about my weight loss journey so let me up date you on that or lack there of.

I can sit here and type my one million excuses on why I haven't stayed on track but I'll save you the sob story and just be REAL with you--I didn't feel like keeping up w it bc I didn't want to miss out on stuffing my face with all the great holiday foods. Do I regret it? Yes and no, Yes bc now I feel like crap and fatty mcfat. No bc man all the food tasted so good.

Tomorrow we are living for a mini vacay to NC to my boyfriend's mothers house--where I will continue to stuff my face. Then, Tuesday the 2nd it's back on track for me. I want to lose 10 lbs by April so I can look good at the Chili Cook Off. I will take the first week to get back on track with Herbal life and find a happy medium between eating healthy and losing weight w that. Then if the first week goes well I will make my schedule for incorporating Insanity into the mix.

Wish me luck y'all! And I'll see you in the new year!

XOXO,

Juana
