You know... with every blog post I always say that I'm going to be better about updating my blog... and I always seem to get WORSE at it... but this time.. it's for real... I have a slight break from school right now so I'm able to focus my brain on something other then psychoactive drugs and the signs and symptoms of schizophrenia. (FINALLY) ... Part of me was starting to wonder if I was coming down with the disorders that I was learning about... GOING CRAZY!
I know in my last post I talked about my weight loss journey. It's been quite some time and I have yet to get on with my journey. I find it to be very hard.. and very intimidating. Don't get me wrong.. I have no problem getting to the gym (err... well wanting to go to the gym) but actually getting there and eating healthy is a completely different story. I tend to be a picky eater... meaning that I don't like to eat the same thing over again.. and my first meal of the day is usually a snack before lunch.. or lunch. So switching to a new "plan" is difficult...
Here's my "food plan" that was created by my trainer specifically for me..
Breakfast - 4 egg whites & 3/4 cup oatmeal (w/ 2.5tsp of brown sugar)
Snack - Protein shake (nastiest thing EVER) with an apple
Lunch - Turkey sandwich (2 pieces of low carb bread, 1 ounce turkey, 1 slice cheese, and spinach)
1/2 cup broccoli
Snack - Protein shake (GROSS)
Dinner - 1 ounce chicken breast
1/2 cup quinoa
2.5 spears of broccoli
10 baby carrots
Late night snack - 3 hard boiled egg whites and 1 whole hard boiled egg
1/2 english muffin with peanut butter
Talk about boring... not to mention I live with some family friends that have been wonderful in letting me live here while I'm in school to save money... BUT.. they aren't very nice when it comes to eating healthy. Why would I want to eat the above list of food EVERY DAY when I could eat pasta, pizza, and tacos with them?
Ughh.. so I've lost some motivation but am hoping to get back on the train.. Pinterest believe it or not has been the source of some new found motivation. They have great motivational sayings and healthier options when it comes to eating...
So here goes nothing!

Can't wait to read your journey, Shay! Thinking of you! <3
ReplyDeleteThinking of you, lady!! I agree that Pinterest has been an awesome point of motivation...I have 100% faith in you, and I know you can do it!
ReplyDeleteYou GOT THIS Shay!!! I'm right there with you, if I start to eat the same thing OVER and OVER again, it makes me want to quit and eat a box of Rosa's Cheesebread! LOL! The only problem is, I have NO motivation to go to the gym...which is awful. It also doesn't help that what little time in the day I get to myself...working out is the last thing on my mind! I'm back on my journey after falling off the wagon over the holidays so I'm here if you ever need me! YOU CAN DO IT!! :-) Love tons!
ReplyDeleteGood luck Shay!! I know you can do it! :)
