Well, welcome back. I hope you had a lovely week everyone.
I know I did.
And after all of those Halloween treats I have noticed the number on the scale has risen. And all I can think is "I'm so sick of being fat!".
It's true, I really am annoyed with myself for giving in, but I cannot give up.
I relapsed for a week or two and now it's time to get back on that horse and ride. So I've got this figured out. NO MORE EXCUSES.
The word "lazy" no long exists in my dictionary.
The time has come, and I am ready.
-I have already got myself signed up for a year at Curves gym. I love it there, it's so easy and it's never crowded. So from Monday on, I will be hitting the gym 5 days a week, Mon-Fri.
-I'll take the weekends to rest up and prepare for the next week.
-I'm cutting out all liquids except the most essential...water.
-No more sweets! No more fast food!
-I'm limiting myself to the delicious and nutritious foods.
-Protein rich meats and eggs, leafy green veggies and carrots, and low sugar fruits.
Also, my dog has been tipping the scales lately too and I think she will be joining me a few nights a week for a walk around the neighborhood.
I know she'll love that.
There is nothing more depressing than going shopping and not being able to fit into the things you want to wear. Even boots, because my calves are too wide.
:'(
It's not even about the material items, either.
It's about being healthy, having good skin, hair, and nails.
Because my vanity is stronger than the laziness that lives inside me.
I want to radiate healthiness.
haha
So, even if you're not in it to lose weight, just to get started on living a healthy lifestyle, if you'd like to join me in my journey, you're more than welcome to.
So I will keep you guys updated weekly on how things are going.
The holidays are approaching, but I can control myself ,and I'll be ready when they arrive.
Wish me luck, and GOOD LUCK to those of you who might be trying your own thing too!

The World.
Hey everyone, hope you all had a fantastic Halloween and weekend!
So, last night my good friend and I had a discussion about many things (God, the earth, money, etc.). That conversation sparked the ideas and points in this blog.
I wish we could mix living with modern technology and using the earth's good sources.
At least ten thousand times better than we are now.
Have we all forgotten what life is like without the Internet, television, or cell phones?
When we were created to survive on only water and certain food groups, why must we have created disgusting places like McDonalds and Burger King?
Why are we so lazy that we wont just go to a market and buy fresh, organic food to cook for ourselves? I think if we still have to have money in this world it should be spent on things like the healthiest food and necessities for our families, not a new Bentley and stereo system.
Why do we care so much about how we look?
Is it not enough to enjoy and take care of that which God gave us?
Is plastic surgery really going to make you feel better?
If no one in this world cared about hair and makeup, and we all had to live natural.
There would be no such thing as ugly.
There are so many things that I, too, enjoy and they are extremely useless to our existence.
I am not 100% sure, but I'm beginning to think Cancer and other diseases would have never been, had we not polluted this earth with our toxic waste.
These topics and issues are so above me I find it hard to explain exactly how I feel about them in words.
I don't want to do away with everything. If we weren't meant to have it, then we wouldn't.
But we don't have to spend so much time wrapped up in material matters.
It also angers me that I should have to have so much money to be able to travel and enjoy the world the way it was meant to be enjoyed.
Why does it cost so much to enjoy that which costs nothing?
If for one week everyone in the world could be sent to a big green area and have to figure out how to survive and create their own shelter and such...I believe the world would change at least a little after that.
Basically, you're thinking I'm a super hippy right now. But, please, think of me as more of a human being concerned for the future and well being of this Earth and it's inhabitants.
I've decided to make my point, I am going to change a few things.
And since changes in my life require baby steps, I'm going to try these for the next month.
-I'm going to spend less time indoors than I do outdoors.
-I'm going to stick to a really basic diet of all natural kinds of foods and only water, tea, and coffee to drink.
-I'm going to kick my smoking habit. I'm trying to save myself, not kill.
-I'm going to only wear as much makeup as I'm required to still be considered human.
-Instead of buying more products, I'm going to finish all that I have now.
-Should I run out, I'll consider natural alternatives (like fruits and vegetables).
-I'm going to enjoy all that I already have around me. I don't need anything else.
-I'm not going to drive even 1/2 as much as before.
I know that this will be easy for me.
But sometimes I forget things and if you're around me, don't hesitate to slap my hands if I reach for something useless to buy.
Maybe it's naive for me to think that there is still more good in this world than bad, and that I still have a lot of faith in humanity.
BUT COME ON PEOPLE. DON'T LET ME DOWN
What one change would you be willing to make to your life this month??
