September A New Beginning

Hey,

So this entry won't be very exciting. Today was my day off of work, and I always have hard times with my days off when it comes to food. I plan everything out for when I'm at work but on days off I have no plan and that usually means I end up eating weird random things, and probably not enough of what I actually need. lol. SO for September, I'm going to start planning things out better. I really want to lose the little bit of belly fat I have left and I know if I just give my plan hell and stick to it, that I can get to it. Through my process so far I am still learning how to read my body, I'm not quite sure what I can get away with and what I can't when it comes to eating. Recently I have started writing down, every morning, right when I wake up, how much I weigh. My weight has gone down everyday that I have had my meals planned out; as follows:

8/29/16 151.6 lbs
8/30/16 151.0 lbs
8/31/16 150.0 lbs

So it's not a lot right but imagine if it keeps like that everyday for a month. In writing down my weight I can see how my body handles eating different things. I'm interested in seeing what I will weigh tomorrow, since today I didn't eat the greatest. I didn't eat too bad. I think the worst thing was like 6 Oreos, which I told my self since I'm going to suck it up and stick it out for a month, was ok for me to eat. The other thing I don't really know about my body yet either is, if I wanted to, what would I need to eat just to maintain the weight I am at? Once I get to my ideal weight, I think that is another thing I will play around with, because it's going to be important. So I'm hoping you are finding all this information useful, because it is all very important while in the process of losing weight, or finding what works for you. So for September if you would like to join me, step it up! Let's keep or start dropping those pounds, NO CHEATS! It's all or nothing Ladies and Gents. AND what I mean by that is even on my cheat days I'm not going to go all out. I'm still on the fence should I let myself have at least ONE CHEAT MEAL on my cheat day, or should I just have my "cheat day" just be a high carb day, but of healthy stuff. It's so hard to give up that one day where you can do whatever you want. Believe me like I said before, it is what keeps me sane. I really want to try my hardest and push myself to the limits. So enough talk about that.

I use to do yoga all the time on my days off, but I had been slacking on that for awhile. Today I stepped it back up and did some. I was really feeling in the mood. I've had a really good day off, I had enough time for a nap and to do some stuff I wanted to do, and do the stuff I didn't want to do (dishes). I believe the mind and body benefit from it greatly. The breathing I have learned in yoga, I believe, is what has helped me keep a steady breathe/pace while running. At the top of my page there is a link to Yoga with Adriene, she's who I've found, and really enjoyed, although she does talk a lot which kind of distracts me while doing some balancing. I have done 30 days of Yoga, and am currently working on Yoga Boot Camp. I plan on exploring all the other videos she has once I'm done. I've also been thinking about finding someone else who doesn't talk as much, that has some like nice yoga music playing so I can focus more. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to leave them in the comments!

Anyways I think that's all I wanted to throw out there at this time. I have a million other things I want to bring up but I don't want to have a post about a million random things. So until I have time to do those other posts, C ya later folks!
