I've never been very good or consistent with keeping a journal. My 5th grade teacher used to give me shit about it, now I give myself shit about it. I mean look, the last time I updated this Blog was in July....I rest my case.
But I try.
This is my blog. And it's called Becoming Christa for a reason, Oh I must have wanted to do this before or something.....I'm so smart, this is the perfect place for me to do this!
I'll journal about anything, so don't expect an outline or anything like that. Really just want to keep track of my Green Smoothies, Workouts, Goals and my weight, which I'm really not very fond of having it out there for all to see, but whatever, it's reality and I always try to keep it real AND I am hoping that journal-ing will help me move that number down to a more pleasant range. I might throw in a random bit of inspiration like as a quote of someone else, or something my own brain either came up with or has retained for the past and I just remembered it and think that I came up with it.
Overall, I just want to be healthy and look and feel good and I want to document the process.
So here goes:
224.8 - Yep....that's where it's at today. I've seen that number higher and I've definitely seen it lower....let's concentrate on getting that number somewhere near the 150 lb mark...that's where I look and feel my best.
How am I going to do that? Well it's certainly not going to be by sitting on my butt. I've tried it, it doesn't work...ever. Being prepared is how I plan to get that number down. Being prepared with Food, supplements, inspiration, positive self talk, oh and workout clothes, or at the very least my sneakers....just keeping them available in case I spontaneously decide to bust a move, I'll be prepared and can't make any excuses.
That number up there that we've already discussed, yeah, not gonna let it get me down. I'm still sexy, still have a great ass, definitely great teeth and smile (thanks mom)....and my personality, I've always got that!
This fat doesn't define who I am, BUT it sure does get in the way of being able to wear certain things....and I've always been some form of a fashionista, I owe it to myself to be able to wear the things I am attracted to. My younger sister Jessica gave me a few garments this weekend that just weren't right for her. I happened to love them but they don't fit at the moment. While I can get them on, I can't wear them out of the house if you know what I mean....perhaps I should post a photo of myself in these garments at the size that I am at now. And then, when I've seen some success, we can do a comparison so I can prove to myself and you that I am doing the right thing.
So today...yeah today....cause there's no time like the present to make positive changes. I started my morning with my supplements. Those include the ones Dr. Dell prescribed (he's my Chiropractor/Kinesiologist), and the ones I've prescribed for myself. He's got me on quite a few that I hope are helping, either that or I am spending WAAAAY too much money on this stuff....whatever, it's better than spending it at the bar right? well, maybe not as much fun ;)
Supplements:
Garlic
Adrenals
L-Theanine
Total Leaky Gut.
I've also prescribed some other things for myself which include:
B12
Vitamin C
Vitamin E
...and I think that's about it. I'm also starting the day with a Green Smoothie of whatever fruits and veggies I've got in the kitchen.
Today's Green Smoothie:
Spinach (Fresh)
Cucumber (Fresh)
Cilantro (Fresh)
Ginger (Fresh)
Blueberries (Frozen)
Mango (Frozen)
Apple (Fresh)
Grapes (fresh)
Zico Coconut Water
I've made these green smoothies just about every day for a month or so since I purchased the Kitchen Ninja 1200 because I've become addicted to the feeling that I get when I've had one. My body can tell when I haven't....I'm more sluggish and I crave things that I shouldn't be putting into my body such a Sugar Free Red Bull.
I just want to be healthy. I want to look healthy and I want to feel healthy. I don't want to crave things that I shouldn't put into my body. I want to crave things that I should DO for my body, the right foods and supplements and to move...I like to move it move it. I love when I am working out on a consistent basis and my body craves that burn! I need to get myself back there.
I packed my gym clothes. There is a Body Works plus abs class at 7 tonight. I have a membership and I have my clothes and sneakers.....even have my socks! I have no excuses.
Today's Goals:
Avoid sugar
Take all supplements
Eat all meals using the Somersize guidelines (You know this really does work, right?)
Move that body
hmmmm...I didn't really mean to make an acronym..... But AT EM makes total sense! Up and AT EM!
