day 28!

Hello mighty friends and followers! I hope you are enjoying this blog! Like i said in my first post here I did not promote this at all (hence the reason no one is reading this most likely) so you just so happened to stumble upon my blog! YAY! Welcome, welcome welcome! Well since last week, not much has really changed! Well I was sick with a really bad cold all of last week so sadly I wasn't able to make it to the gym, BUT i still managed to lose some weight! WAHOO!! I have lost 3 pounds! YAY! hahaha. That puts me at 178. I started at 181 so now the goal is to get down to 170 as soon as possible! I started intense training today so I KNOW that I have to watch what I eat now. No more fast food, soda and candies! I am a sucker for Kit Kat bars though, thats going to be a hard one to leave at the check out isle! Anywho, I'm still waiting for my Detox Tea's. They were shipped some time last week and I really Hope that I get them before saturrday! Since it is a 28 day cleanse I want to start the first of February and go until the last day! I have already planned it out, all I have to do is stick to it and really plan my meals so I have no room to cheat AT ALL! This teatox cleanse was pretty pricey so I don't want to just blow my money and not follow through! Today I did a pretty amazing job at meal prepping! I made salmon with brown rice and veggies, did some overnight oats for tomorrow morning so i'm preparing my body for the drastic change my mind has in store. Well I guess my mind is weak too though! lol.  That is about all I have today! Here is another little snipped of my life via picture! I hope you guys have a great week and I will be back in 7 days! toddles!

day eighteen.

Hello you mysterious ones. Im back, and a little bit better! This week has been a success at the gym, I've been working out almost daily which is a success! I've also talked to my personal trainer Royal and I'm going back to intense PT starting tuesday! I know that will be extremely helpful in my weightloss goals since I lost most if not all of the weight I had gained with him. I just ordered the Detox Skinny Herbs found Here. I've seen these teas all over instagram and have been trying to order them, the paycheck finally came in so I was able to order them! Ill take some before and after pictures and log my progress for you to see! Currently, the one thing i'm struggling the most with is eating healthy 90% of the time. I'd say i'm 50/50 right now, leaning more towards 40% clean eating. I know its the most important thing in weightloss so I'm trying to find new recipes that will help me achieve my goals. One meal of choice that I keep going back to is Tams, cheeseburgers. If any of you reading this (if any) live in California, my home, I suggest you try Tams. Well, I take that back, DON'T try it, you will become addicted. lol. I'm really hoping and trying to kick the habit so I've been preparing food. Another vice of mine happens to be starbucks. More recently i've been craving the Iced soy Chai tea with  a pack of madeline cookies. I know I am in a death trap with that combination due to the high sugar in both of those items, so I NEED HELP! I am not sure what I should replace them with since I'm so used to making the local starbucks my daily stop before work. I need suggestions, Please leave your suggestions for me in the comments below! I would greatly appreciate it! For now I am still weighing the same at 181 so I'm trying to get down to 140 before the year ends. that is losing 3.3 pounds a month! I didn't realize how achievable that could be until I did that math. Wow. I can do this! 4 pounds a month doesn't seem extreme and totally achievable! Ideally they say you should loose 2 pounds a week to be healthy so If I can do that then by December I'd reach my goal weight! SMALL STEPS!! I'm excited just rereading that! Before I go, I'd like to ask for your prayers, One thing I have not shared with you all is how huge of a 49er fan I am. We are playing against the Seattle Seahawks tomorrow and I want us to win! If you could send positive ways to my players I would greatly appreciate it! Here's my favorite moment of 2013… 

day 9.

So it turns out I was wrong, I have not only gained back a little bit of what I had lost, I gained it ALL back. Talk about weightloss FAIL!!! At work each new quarter they do the Biggest Fatty Challenge, we all put money in and try to win up to 400 dollars! Each quarter, I maintain my weight but never win money. I've noticed that each time we do these challenges my coworkers are motivated by the weight loss and the money, and I'm just so motivated by the money. It has to change, I have to motivate myself via weight loss. I'm not really sure if loosing money feels great but i'm sure certain that loosing weight feels so much better. Reguarless if I win or not, i'm really hoping I can loose some weight before Spring Break! I'd love to be able to wear cute clothes and not feel like some of my fat is deterring the cute shirt i'm wearing. I'd love to feel happy about the way I look. Last night I decided to make these twice baked potatoes, THE HEALTHY VERSION! I got the recipe on Pinterest and let me tell you, it probably could've tasted better, my husband was not a fan, but it was worth the 260 calories. I'm trying to loose the weight i've gained back and the one place i need to really focus on is my nutrition. I'm really hoping that i can speed up my metabolism and loose the weight I've gained because I really want to be happy with my body.

until next week!

Mayra!

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.
