Adding new things to my health regimen.

Well, as far as my exercising, I have slacked up, but have been consistant on my walking and have been doing it everyday. I have been working on keepin my calories at 1500 or slightly lower. Last week I weighed in at 158 now I am 151. I am adding oil pulling to my regimen. This is supposed to help whiten teeth and detoxify the body. I am really bad with consistancy, but I really want to try this. People say they have really good results such as keener taste and more energy. Also, a decrease in appetite has been reported. I am also going to restart my regimen on digesting and cooking with coconut oil. This is said to boost metabolism by 'heating up' the body. I have also just discover oil washing. Now I would never think washing the face with oil would improve the skin, but I am willing to give it a try...

1st Workout Day

Ok, so today was the beginning or my workouts. I decided to start with Jillian's 30 day shred...and I must say that I feel physically sick...I have a headache, and I still have my walking to do. I started at level one and its really intense for me. I don't know if you are supposed to do this everyday, but I am going to do every other day for now. So, I'm off to doing my walk, about two miles, and then I have to work on my squat and crunch challenges...WISH ME LUCK!!!

UPDATE

so its 9:30, i did the jillian 30 day level 1 today for a total of 20 minutes

walked/jogged 1 mile, and i just finished my crunches and squats training for a total of 72 squats and 120 crunches.. i'm on my way folks!!!1

FITNESS CHALLENGES

OK, so i just signed up at hundredpushups.com...

the goal is to work your way up to 100 consecutive pushups through the training program.

you will perform an initil test to see how you do, and each training day, you gradually increase your numbers..

i have signed up for the squat challenge, and situp challenge also

MY INITIAL TESTS

situps 50

pushups 3(or 4) straight pushups, but i am entering the challenge doing the modified form( i am way too fat to lift my whole body weight

squats 32

I will be posting updates every now and then

I haven't started my eating adventure yet, but I have started to walk, and will start my workout routine tomorrow, along with these challenges

starting over....AGAIN!!!!!

I am sooooooooo tired of starting over and over and over

But I am determined to finish my goal this time. Earlier this year i enrolled in a fitness bootcamp for 2 months. I did lose inches, but I couldn't get my eating right. Now I am determined to lose the weight and stay in shape...for good. It's not gonna get any easier, so I might as well conquer this demon now! I will begin exercising today.. I will walk around the block at least twice. Tomorrow I am going to be working on strength exercises that I learned from bootcamp every other day, and doing Jillian Michaels 3o day shred every other day...I really hope I can stay motivated this time! When my kids get home, I will have my son post before pics....ugh!

6:39pm

Ok I did it. I have officially started. I went around the block, about a mile. I only did 1 trip around, because I had my kids with me. But I think I did ok, considering I haven't exercised since April. I alternated jogging and walking. Here are a few things I have to work on

1. cutting down on my soda intake

2. drinking more water..124oz(half of body weight in oz)

3. drinking natural juices ( 100%)

4. cutting calorie intake to 1500 ( progress will be posted at http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage.asp?id=shyekiera)

here are my recent pics 248lbs my current measurements are:
arms 16.5in

thighs(at fattest area) 33 in

hips 51.5

wa ist 43 in

Does time really heal all wounds?

I don't think so...

The things that happen to us are the things that help to shape who we are, our personality. But what happens when those things affect you in a negative way? What happens when that negativity brings on some unpleasent traits in a person..

Of course we will never be perfect. But...

I know hate is a strong word, but what if a person has caused you sooooooo much pain, that it affects you everyday, to the point where it hurts you so bad that you are crying everyday? No, people, it's not a man. I want to tell this person how I feel, but I don't want it to come out wrong. I love them to death, and don't want to make matters worse than they already are. What do I do? Do I confront them? Or do I just hold it in, like I have done for soooo many years?? Do I tell them that I feel betrayed, hurt, and unloved? Or do I just keep closing the door and crying myself to sleep everyday?

Bantu knot outs

Ok, I know I am late, but I just discovered bantu knots and I absolutely love them!!! The curls come out so cute and springy. I do mine on dry hair...I moisturize and then put them in the knots. The cool think about these is that u can get a nice girl after about 20 minutes!!! So they are good as a late minute hair style.
