Actually losing me!

So last week I started my diet. The routine I followed was 700 calories, 120 oz. of water, and only eat protein. It was a struggle. 700 calories is not much at ALL! PLUS having to up my water intake to 120 oz. a day. Thats a lot of water! Well I did it and survived! I did not cheat at all when it came to what I was supposed to eat. 1 or 2 days I didn't get quite up to 120 oz. of water but on those days I was only missing 20 or 40 oz. so I was still over the recommended amount. I also only went over my calories twice by very few calories. As if getting through that week wasn't enough success guess what else... I lost 10 pounds. In one week I lost 10 pounds. I seriously had to weigh like 5 times because I didn't believe it. I am so happy.

I have been doing a little research and have decided on upping my calorie intake to 1200 from now on. My friends were telling me 700 was very low and they thought 1200 was the lowest for loseing weight that was recommended. Turns out it is and eatting lower then that could put your body in to starvation mode. So 1200 it is!

This week has been a good week too. I've added certain veggies and fruits in to my foods that I'm allowed  to eat so I'll have more things to choose from now. I am going to do the protein, fruit and veggie diet for 3 weeks. The 4th week I can eat whatever, within reason of course. I will still be counting calories anf drinking the same amount of water also. If I do eat pasta or bread I'll be sure to get the most healthy options. After the fourth week it will repeat all over again.

As for #saladsofmarch I only ate 2. So that was a bust! On the other hand I do have a plan to follow now. I am super happy about that. I'll keep ya updated. XOXO

Springbreak?

It's springbreak! Guess what that means... not a damn thing to me anymore! I remember loving springbreak and going on vacations!
~Oh to be young again.~
Anyways...
My springbreak will consist of working, working, working... somewhere in between the working I need to do my nails and eat more salads. I at least want to make my estimate goal of eatting 5 salads this month. After this week I wont be able to eat salads, which I'll explain later. I am thankful that my work is taking care of my niece and nephew. I love being able to spend time with them and teach them new things. My work also consists of cleaning my cousins house once a week. I'm lucky that my work consists of helping my family members out. So when I say my week consists of work, I'm not complaining. :)

Anyways... I talked to my sister about the diet she is on. She is supposed to write everything down that the diet consists of for me. So next week I will also be on that diet. I'm not going to be taking any of the pills or going to the doctor like she is but I will be changing my eatting habits. I'm excited and terrified at the same time. I'm excited because It's the year of trying new things for me! I'm terrified because this diet you pretty much give up a butt load of stuff to begin with. Eeeek! But the thing is, I have been without fast food for seven months so I'm pretty positive I can do this.
I'll keep ya updated!

New challenges

Woosh! February has came and went! Wow and guess what... I survived Valentine's day! I even came out of it with some goodies from my family! I love them so much. <3 I also learned even people who are taken on Valentine's day can be sad or disappointed too.

Anywho...
Did you know that it's been 7 months with no fast food?! I'm super proud of my self! I did want to break down the other day and Valentine's day would have been a perfect day to do that. I mean I did have the SINGLE card to play but I kept it and didn't break down. It got me thinking though... what if I do break down one day. I don't want to be a big disappointment! This challenge I set my self was open, I wanted to see how long I could go with out fast food but the longer I go the more upset I would get if I did happen to cave in. So I have decided to have a finish line for my challenge. I started this challleng on July 1st 2013 so its only right that it end on July 1st 2014. I am thinking of a new challenge and don't plan on going on a fast food frenzy. I may continue to not eat fast food. I just won't have that pressure on me.
In the mean time...
I really have to get back to eatting healthy. I mean I don't eat fast food and I don't drink sodas, two great things! I just need to do more. I don't necessarily eat bad but I don't eat good either. My sister is on a diet and she wants ne to get on it with her but it includes pills and other than vitamins I really don't  want to take pills. Don't get me wrong pills work for some people but they are just not for me. Also this diet she is on costs a lot of money.  Maybe I could do this diet without the pill. She could just tell me what she eats... hmmm.

A mini challenge just popped in my head. Lets see how many times I can eat a salad this month. I mean its a start right? I'll even post pics on instagram of each salad I eat. I'm gonna take a guess and say 5. How many salads do you think I'll eat this month? #saladsofmarch

I love you guys and thanks for your support! XOXO
