The Plan

Welcome to my blog and thanks for following my journey. For the past three years I have been slowly turning into a blob slob. I have went from a solid 170 to now a flabby 230 lbs. this does not make me feel good. Lately I've been feeling super sluggish with no energy. Honestly its really depressing. I often stay in my room with the lights off and search the internet all day.

Its really sad. I remember a time when I used to be very outgoing and I loved my body. I don't love my body now. Yes, I still think I'm beautiful, but I'm back to not looking at my body from the neck down. It doesn't please me. I'm finally to the point where I'm sick of saying tomorrow I'll do something about my weight. I see now that I'm not going to get the encouragement that I so desperately was seeking. I have to encourage myself. Everyone tells me what I need to do or laugh or make jokes when I say I'm going to lose weight, but it really doesn't matter what they say now.

I see for myself now after so long of procrastinating or feeling sorry for myself that its really up to me and my decisions and what I have to do. I have to work on me and celebrate the beautiful person that I am.

Okay so back to the plan. It really quite rigorous, but with out all these aspects I do not feel that I will be successful at achieving my goals. For this plan to work for me I will pledge to blog everyday and for days that I can not post I will right down what I did for the day and post the following day.

Daily Posts
In my daily posts I will record everything I ate from the previous days lunch to the breakfast of the day's post. This way I can keep a journal/log of what I eat.

Diet
Until I have lost the weight that I need to I will be following the Walker Diet. I plan to drink shakes in the morning which will include my supplements Chlorella and Kelp. And follow the walker diet with there suggestions of three meals and two snacks a day.

Exercise
The plan is to exercise at least 5 out of the seven days of the week with a variety of options of going to the gym, joggin two to three miles, or doing one or two turbo jam exercise videos. This way my body never gets use to the same repetitive work out.

Weekly Posts
Each weekly Sunday post will reflect on the pros and cons of the week. It will also have an update of my progress with measurements. I have opted to monitor my progress with measurements of my body rather than a scale because I don't want to be discouraged if my scale says I gained weight or I only lost 1 lb. during a week. I feel this won't be a positive reassurance in my journey. Also in this weekly post I will try to reflect on my emotions for the week and how I felt about certain things. Thats if I didn't talk about it during the week.

Monthly Posts
I will do pic updates of me in the same outfit. This will help me to see physical progress as I lose weight.

Starting tomorrow I will begin on my journey with the exercise, eating and posting. I'm tired of being ashamed of my body and not believing a compliment when I receive one. I'm ready to feel comfortable in my on skin again. Here's some inspirational video's I look to whenever I need a little pick me up. Thank you BeautifulBrwnBabyDol for being such an inspiration and your beautiful words of encouragement.
