Me

I'll eat anything and love it! I'm not a picky eater which makes turning food down super hard for me. Like I tell everyone, I'd rather sit down with a loaf of garlic bread than a bowl of ice cream and watch a movie. Making good food choices is super hard for me but since I've been working out I am starting to look at food as fuel instead of something I just need to eat. Somehow this seems to work for me, is it really worth that 30min workout in order to eat those stupid granola cookies out of the vending machine?! NO!!!

It has been about a month now since I've made this decision to finally better my health, not just diet to lose weight! I can't say what exactly made me make the switch but I am thankful for whatever triggered it. About a month ago I joined Curves. I had previously done Curves and been successful but then got pregnant and well the rest is history! I thought, if it worked for me before it'll work again and god knows I do not want to have anymore kids so we should be good this time right??

After my first month at Curves I've lost 7lbs, 4in and 3.6% BMI....and yes, each month I plan to post my numbers, except my weight....come on I'm not that brave yet. This will be a way to hold myself accountable. I've been doing the Curves Zumba Circuit M, W & F and I've really began to like it, I would even go as far as to say I crave it! Me crave exercise...look out your window cuz I'm damn sure there's a pig flying somewhere!! So anyway after a month it is safe to say I've got a good beginning to exercise.

Now, food....ah food you're a whole other animal. Like I said I am able to look at food as fuel which is good however those damn cravings are still there which lead me to stray! When I make dinner I've been trying really hard to eat whatever protein were having over lettuce and have been happy with that until this last weekend. I found myself getting out of bed at like 11-12pm and walking into the kitchen and downing a piece of pizza or whatever looked good in the fridge. Am I really dumb enough to believe that because its night time it wont affect me?! I dunno, but the one thing I do know is how guilty I feel the next day. I've gotta get better control of myself at night for sure. 

I also really enjoying have some drinks...well some shots and by some shots I mean enough to get quite the buzz going with my best bud Jenn a couple nights a month. Now, I am smart enough to know that rum will turn into sugar and the Cherry Coke I drink along with it will do the same but for some reason it doesn't bother me enough to quit it LOL This too makes me feel guilty so another aspect of my life I gotta get a grip on. Either deal with it and be good or find an alternative....hmmm, this is gonna be a difficult one!! I did try switching to diet soda a couple times but have you ever taken a shot of rum followed by diet soda BLEH if the shot doesn't make you wanna hurl the soda after taste will!!

Whew, I'm new to this whole blogging world but look at me I just wrote a short novel...GO ME! Until next time, stay positive and let's make changes together!!
