Weight Jounrey Update Two


It is day four of my weight loss and workout journey. I have continued to drink a shake for breakfast and lunch. At the beginning of the week, I weighed 278.8. When I weighed this morning, I was down to 275. It's not a huge drop, but it is a start in the right direction. And drinking the shakes has helped me shrink my portions a lot too. Seeing that I have lost a little weight gives me motivation to keep pushing. I know it is going to get harder before it gets easier. But seeing that number this morning made me so happy. Not only did I manage to lose 3.8 pounds in four days, but I also did it on my own. I made the decision to change how I eat and took charge. So this gives me more confidence in myself. But I want to see more weight come off. So I am considering doing a workout twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. 

I may be pushing myself a bit hard, but it is important to me and as I am seeing that I can do it. I am only hungry to do more. I hope to one day have enough confidence to go to the gym. I haven't had the best experience with gyms in the past...but I know that I could do a lot there too. 

The last time I went to look around a gym, guys made noises at me. And it was demeaning and embarrassing. After that, I never wanted to go to a gym. But I think that getting in a gym could be a good thing. It would give me access to workout equipment and the gym I am considering has a room where they hold classes like Zumba. I may not participate in Zumba. But if I get back into dance the way I am wanting, it would be a great room for me to practice in. 

Overall, I am very happy with how things are going. I am showing myself that I can do anything I put my mind to. I'm coming to realize that I am the only one standing in my way. And I have to change. For so long I have tried to hide in the shadows, afraid to try or do what I want. But I'm slowly coming out of that. And as I continue to lose weight. I will see my confidence grow. And once that happens...nothing will stop me.

Valentine Razzles

When I was a kid, I loved Razzles. Whenever my best friend came over, we had to get some. We absolutely loved them and it is pretty fair to say they were one of our top favorite candies…or gum? So when I was walking in Wal-Mart shopping for Valentine’s gifts and seen the heart shaped Razzles, I knew I had to get some. They are not only cute, but they are still fun. From candy to gum. The flavors are fantastic too. I didn’t actually share them with anyone. They are still in the box in my room. No one in my house likes them but me anyway. This is actually the first time I have seen heart shaped Razzles available for Valentine’s Day. I have only ever seen them available in their original form. And while nothing beats the originals from childhood, these are definitely a welcome new addition for me. Razzles make a good treat for kids. It kept me busy when I was little trying to figure out how it turned into gum. If you haven’t tried Razzles, you definitely should. It’s a thr...

Day Sixteen

Dear Diary,                 I haven’t made an entry in over a week. Everything seemed to be okay, but things got a lot bit hectic. I started struggling and quickly fell back into old habits of not talking to anyone. I hate that I am going to be basically starting all over, but with how I have been feeling lately, that is what I have to do.                 I feel like I am fighting a losing battle. I have been beaten down so many times, that I believe the words they have said. That I can’t do it. No matter what the ‘it’ is. And as of right now, I don’t know how to change that. All I want to do is better myself. But I have been told I will fail so many times, that I think I am going to fail before I even start. It sucks. Even though the no one is around me at the moment, saying I can’t do it. The voices of my past linger and keep m...
