A little introduction.

Hello! Welcome to my blog, a place I hope to share with you my hard work, dedication and hopefully weight loss success. Each year we all set forth these "new years resolutions," typically people choose the same each year, which is get healthy. Unfortunately most people give up within the first week and stop all of the working out and eating healthy habits they envisioned working out in their minds the weeks before. I don't want to be one of those people. I need to stay motivated. I am continuing this journey because technically i've already began. Last year I was miserable about myself around this time. I had just finished what was one of the most challenging years of my life and I was ready to make a change. The first few months were okay, I found myself  eating unhealthy some times but I was really good about going back to my healthy ways. I went on vacation in Cancun in May with my family which was a major motivation of mine to loose weight, then i was in a wedding in June that of course I had to look good for. All in total I've lost about 13 lbs but i've gained about 8 so technically i've only lost 7. I'm still a size thirteen/fourteen, hence the blog title but i'm trying to get to HAPPY. Happy does not mean a certain dress size, it doesn't mean going to the gym 7 days a week, it doesn't mean loosing 70 pounds. Happy to me is where I can look in the mirror, dressed in my favorite clothes and LOVE the way I look in them. Happy is being free of feeling unhealthy and fat. Happy is a state of mind, Happy is a CHOICE. currently i've chosen to be un-happy because of my lack of exercise, my terrible eating habits at my muffin top. It was gone a few months ago but I gave in to cheeseburgers, i am not joking.

I know this month will be tough, I have set a goal to loose 10 lbs this month, which is doable if I stick to a struck 1200 calories a day and attend the gym 5 days a week. I can do this. I need to remind myself that I've done it before. Sometimes it just gets really difficult to make a new routine when the old one felt easier. but I've got to stay motivated. I really hope I can jump on here every week and update you on my status and post some progress photos! until next week,

besos.
