And we begin


I have been encouraged to begin to document my journey for the last few months. My friends have mentioned maybe a book some day. Since I am in no way ready for a book, but think that documenting is important, I am going to start here with this little blog. I am going to be completely transparent and share that I have tried to do this before. I was fairly successful with writing updates and maintaining the blog, but the content was not as meaningful as I am sure it is now.

 Please bear with me as I begin this blog, figure out the content of which I want to share publicly to the world and adjust to being consistent with this. Overall, the purpose of this blog will be to document my journey not only for myself, but my support family as well.

 The other purpose I would like to see this blog used for is reaching other people. Any journey of self reflection and self improvement is mentally, emotionally and physically demanding. Therefore, having the knowledge that you are not alone. There are indeed other people out there enduring the same emotions and thoughts you are, but also finding ways of coping.

 If you have questions, comments or concerns about anything you want to talk about, message me, comment or anything that you would like to know about. I am going to be as open as possible about all things while writing the blog. Honesty is going to create success.

"The Scale"

Without a doubt, the scale is an obvious tool that I use to see I am losing weight. The numbers decreasing is honestly the best visual reminder of the changes taking place in my body to become healthier me. Those numbers have changed from a mere ounces to more than one pound of loss, but gaining as well.  There is not a question that the numbers showing gain make me feel defeated, and like I did something wrong. There are sometimes obvious factors that contribute to the gains like hormones around "that time of the month," or if I allowed my diet to be completely unbalanced throughout the week. There has also been the factor of not drinking enough water throughout the day that has caused gain. There is also the obvious one of not working out hard enough or at all that week. There are days that the scale barely moves or stays the same. I can typically define those reasons as well. A lot of those reasons align with the gaining reasons. However, there hav...

Reflecting on 2019

Wow! What a year! I am not really sure that there is a real way to portray the last year with just words. Instead, there will be photos, lots of photos. There will be stories of successes and failures. There will be reflections on what is to come for the next year. Plus, an update on my goal I am currently working towards. This blog is going to wrap up the entire year and leave me craving more for next year. This year I knew I wanted change. There were a lot of changes I was trying to make including my place of employment. I was questioning if I wanted to teach anymore. I knew I wanted a new job and a new situation so I could focus on what I had prioritized for the year...Consistency.  My Commitment for 2019 as posted on Facebook. Consistency meant to me to make changes, constantly, that will allow me to grow as a person in not only health, but confidence, maturity, happiness and most importantly self love. I focused on making that a priority for me to see progress ph...

The Plateau

The plateau I have encountered in the last few weeks has been one of the hardest moments in my progression. I have been working incredibly hard in the gym and on my nutrition. Yes, I have the occasional set back treats, but if I don't, I will forever be over indulging on those treats. I have been so incredibly discouraged for weeks about the plateau. The fact that I have done more in the last few weeks for movement including adding in jumping rope has been hardest on me mentally. I have felt so defeated. The scale is a tool, but is also the visual proof that you are making progress. I know I recently made an entry all about the scale, but honestly, I am continuing to struggle with the numbers not changing. I am so close to the next milestone that I want that I am so angry that there is a sudden halt. I have incredible people working behind the scenes to reconfigure my caloric deficit, having me log in my food on a new app and working to keep my mind focused on continuing...
