Shaken awake

Yet again here I sit.I haven't written in a while, but alas something new has happened and a change has been made. More motivation and a fire has been ignited in me that I thought would never get back...

It all started the day I was born...

Just kidding.

It really all started a minute ago when I found out that eating shit and being a stagnant person gets you health issues. They don't show up the first or the 3rd or 10th time you eat Snickers instead of broccoli. It takes a few years. Like 10. And then the dr says:

You could die.
        You will die if you don't make changes.
                           Take these pills, change your eating
                                                       DrAsTiCaLlY.
Cut carbs to a minimum. MINIMUM. Nope, cut'em more. No, waaaayyyyyyy more.

Yeah. I want to live, so changes I make. Oy vey. I'm jealous of people who eat the worst food possible, never move and somehow they stay skinny, in shape, and their numbers are good. "It will catch up with them." Will it, really. Well, here's hoping that this new eating catches up with me.

Thinking about eating

So, my purpose of blogging though my weight loss journey has a few purposes. When I get to goal 1, 2, 3, and eventually I get to my goal weight I want to be able to read over my blogs and realize how far I have come. I want it to motivate me to keep striving to be the best version of myself and never give up. Also, I want to inspire other people. If I can lose weight then anyone can. Lets rewind to high school. A close friend and I used to do every single weight loss fad there was: the cabbage soup diet, grapefruit diet, rubbing a concoction of olive oil and red wine vinegar on our fat. We lost and gained weight. I had thin and fat clothes. We smelled of cabbagen and salad, depending on the week. At the time I didn't fully understand being healthy and weight loss. At one point I was down to 120 points and I still thought I had weight to lose. It didn't help to have thin friends who made comments when I was in my fat pants (150 pounds) that lingered in my head no matter how ...

Beginning Again

So I created this blog and I have been lazy about it. For the longest time I have had this idea that I would be one of the first people to start a blog with a lot of weight to lose and I would use my blog to track my success. Then when I get to my goal weight I would have a real account of it. For some reason life gets in the way, that's how it's always has been. Well, today I am starting this blog and I am going to write in it regularly. I doubt that many people will read this, but I know that there is something about writing that helps me to work through my thoughts and my hope is that as I do I will learn more about myself and help someone. I mean, even if it's just ONE someone. So, join me as I learn how to lose weight again, how to be disciplined again, and how to maintain my weight loss. To the Journey, HJ

Weigh Day 3--Up .8 pounds

I don't know why I am not quite as angry as I thought I would be with myself at having gained weight this week. I know that week one I was a rock star when it came to documenting everything I ate. Week two and three I slacked off. I think it is that I imagined that after one week I know how much I can or cannot eat and still lose weight. Well, I don't. I have had many bad habits for about the past 10 years which I hope I can break in a few months. It's so frustrating. I can vividly remember being very skinny and I wish there was a switch I could turn on and be 130 pounds. Uggg. Well, this week I vow to myself to blog everything that goes in my mouth. Also, this week I will implement exercise into my diet. This week I promise to myself that I will exercise 4 days this week at 1 hour each. On another note, today is the 2nd day feeling sick. Hopefully I will lose weight this week, since I have been sick, but it didn't help this week! Hoping tomorrow I wake up feeling bet...
