counting calories… really???

I’m not trying to forbid myself from eating anything.  You know whatever you tell yourself you can’t have you want more, but my real problem is portion control. That’s where I find this counting calories funny. You look on the back of a label and read the calories and it shows you a number. Not so fast… You have to find whats the serving size is a how many serving is in the package your eating/drinking. That sounds easy enough right.  But keeping track isn’t. Don’t forget to count that gum your chewing… 🙂

 

hard work + weight loss = success

Wondering if I lost some weight, would I have more success in finding a job?! just thinking the employers group insurance would be affected not only cause I’m over weight but also a former smoker. With weight being the issue at hand. I need this to be a successful(In both my job search and weight loss). I’m noticing lots of women and men getting in shape and those same people seem to be doing well in their professional life. Think bout it!!! Many people equate “fat” with lazy. I’m just saying that can be the reason you’re not getting the job.

day 2…

 I thought I’d have a smart and clever way of saying that I was fat and was not gonna take it anymore. for those who know it’s nothing new. I have gradually increased in size over the year and it all changes this month.

So here it is I weight 245 and I stand at 5’6″. I wear a size 16/18, and today is the second day of  my new eating habits. It’s going well. I took the advice that I’ve been given and try to work it into my routine.  I’m cutting back on all the sugar and starch. And increasing more fruits and veggies.

Junk food seem to be at every turn. can’t hide from it. Today I learned to close my eyes and run. I have wanted to be healthier for some time now. This is my biggest and hardest goal.

I GOT AN IDEA…

I CAME UP WITH AN IDEA FOR MY BLOG CONTENT. ALTHOUGH, I’VE WRITTEN BOUT IT ALREADY (WEIGHT LOSS). BECAUSE ITS AN ISSUE EACH DAY, I WILL WRITE ABOUT THE PROCESS OF MY JOURNEY TO LOSING THE WEIGHT. I’M GONNA TAKE SCARY PICTURES OF BEFORE AND AFTER, AND JUST HAVE FUN WITH IT.

SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE…

AS I STATED BEFORE, I’M NEW TO THIS BLOGGING THING.

Under Construction and trying to become a better blog. I want to evaluate the content of this blog and structure it a little differently. I know the articles seem to be of many topics and issues, so I’m working on gaining some focus. Looking forward to some fun post and receiving interesting comments. I’m going to try to come up with some better content to gain a large group of follower. like they say “nothing beats a failure, but a try…).  ’til I blog again, bye!

No kids allowed…

 Nowadays, there is no censorship for our children. I can’t imagine being a parent of a young child and having him read the content that I share on any social networking site (I don’t accept child friend request). I remember growing the “B” word wasn’t said on television. What happened? I’m afraid of what the future holds.

a couple of years ago i met a kid that would tell you were to stick it and how fast to get there. he was 6 years old and didn’t know his alphabet. he seem to be too aware of the “streets”and had no academic smarts. You ask how much can a 6 year know??? you’d be surprised. his parent didn’t censor anything they did or said in his presence. Cursing around child seems to be the norm, so don’t be surprised when some of that language comes your way. I’m just saying, let’s try to raise our child to be respectable adults.
