So its the second day and I woke up extremely late. Which meant there was no time for exercise which I will most certainly have to do when I get home. So here we go with the daily roll call.
Food Journal
Yesterday's meals:
Lunch - salad - 1 cup romaine lettuce
5 blueberries
6 large croutons
2 tbs feta cheese
2 tbs italian dressing
1 extremely delicious :)
Snack - m&m's - 1/2 a regular size pack
Dinner - shake - 48 grams of gnc chocolate lean shake (delicious)
3 grams of chlorella (it made my shake nasty so i wont do that again)
1 kelp vitamin
yogurt- 1 serving of activia strawberry yogurt
(and this is where I got greedy because I wasn't feeling full and ended up feeling stuffed later)
fish - 1 filet of fried fish
1 tbs of hot sauce
tacos - 2 white corn tortillas
4 oz ground pork
1 packet of taco bell taco sauce
2 tbs sour cream
(Ok I was super stuffed after this and was finished for the rest of the night. I may have had two or three additional cups of water afterwards)
Today's meals thus far:
Breakfast - Orange Juice - 16 oz. (delicious :P)
Snack - Juice - 8 oz. Odwalla Superfood Original ( so far delicious :P)
Chewy protein and fiber bar - 1 whole Kashi Go Lean cookies 'n cream bar
Lunch - Juice - 8 oz. Odwalla Superfood Original (Drinking this juice lets me see why most people mix their Chlorella with apple sauce or some type of juice. I'll get some applesauce today and try eating it that way )
Indian Vegetarian Food - Vegetable Medley, Soup, Rice
Exercise
Yesterday I did get in an additional mile of walking so that was good. I just need to make sure I exercise today.
Sugar Feign
Today I have a super craving for sugar hence the m&m's from yesterday, but I plan to resist those things today. I will let u know how it turns out.

Good Morning/ Day One
I woke up this morning feeling good about myself because I knew that today would be the start of my new life style. And although its raining here in the Motor City I am still enjoying my day because no one and no thing will rain on my parade.
Food Journal entry Day 1, Week1 -
Breakfast - 1 6oz. glass of water
1 Onion Bagel ( I have to get my shake mix today)
1 tbs magarine on bagel
1 tbs cream cheese
2 maple sausage links
Writing it out makes it seem like its a lot, but it really wasn't especially considering that I forgot my snack and lunch for today. So now I'll be at work trying not to visit the vending machines. But I know I can go with out. Also there was no excuse for the Onion Bagel this morning I should have had eggs as a substitute for my shake, but hey if at first you don't succeed try try again. Also just because you mess up it doesn't mean that you have to give up. Remember you can always get back on the right track no matter how bad you mess up.
Exercise - This morning I did get a chance to walk a mile before it started to rain. Which is good, but I think when I get home I'll do a turbo jam video for good measure.
Well if I don't check in later today I will definitely check in tomorrow I hope you all have a wonderful day. :D

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.
