MIA

I have been Mia on here but that's because of many reasons.... Personal mostly but another is I have found most ppl don't interact on here like they used to. I used to love blogging keeping ppl motivated while others lifted my spirits when I was having trouble as well. It just hasn't been the same on here since I originally started blogging. I have found Facebook to be helpful and diet bet to be even better!!! If you have not heard of diet bet it's amazing!!!! I mean absolutely AMAZING!!!! You can join a bet or make your own and if you join the Kickstarter you bet anywhere from 10-100 dollars that you will lose 4% of your body weight in 28 days. JUST 4%!! That's pretty easy if you put in the time and effort. Now here's the fun part if you lose your 4% in 28 days you win your money back and possibly more. Those who do not win their money goes to the jackpot and gets split between the ones who did win. This holds you accountable and motivates you. And there is an activity part of the bet where everyone is there to cheer ppl on and continue to motivate each other through out the 28 days.

If you want to check it out the site explains everything in detail and I'm hosting a diet bet as we speak for $10 it stated today but you can join up to 14 days after it starts. I'd still urge everyone interested to start asap because no matter when you join you only have 28 days after the actual start date to lose the weight. PLEASE check it out and also let me know if you have a fb and want to stay in touch I have a group on there for weight loss.
Thank you all and I hope everyone has been doing great!!!

Instagram anyone?!

I figure a lot more people have time to go on Instagram and look at progress rather than read about it some times. If you are on Instagram please feel free to follow me @kimc87 I post motivational quotes progress pics etc. would love to see your progress as well so if you are on IG and send me a request please comment that you follow my blog and I will follow you right back. I love being there for my readers and I love helping people. Social networking does wonders for people on the go and makes motivation and support a lot easier to come by. Again please feel free to stop by and see pics like the one I posted today

Amotivational pictures like these

And motivational quotes like these 

I look forward to seeing/hearing from you all one way or another. Hope all is well!!

Ahhhhh Improvements!!

I hate pictures always have but I have to say I'm becoming proud when i see them. I notice how far I am coming along, I notice what on my body is progressing and what I need more work on. I can honestly say I am very happy with how I've been doing. I wouldn't change anything, not even one mess up. We all learn from our mistakes and we are all human so we are going to make them and most likely lots of them. Learn from your mistakes embrace them and let them change you for the better :) on that note another progress pic lol 

Down another pound as well :) woot woooot and it hasn't even been a week 

Some More Comparisons

I first have to say sorry for the moment of disgust you are about to endure and second I must put my Warnings up.

WARNING THE IMAGE YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE MAY CAUSE NAUSEA, VOMITING, AND OR TEMPORARY BLINDNESS. lmao

this is my progress in 2 1/2 months.



starting weight 216 lbs (Possibly more 216 was my weight in January this picture was in November so I may be around or over 220 here)
my weight as of Friday 189 :)

I still have a lot of work as you can see but I think Ive been doing pretty good.

Before, later, and now

Okay so I promised a comparison photo. This was me at my highest weight on the left me in November 2014 after gaining a lot back and before I had my gallbladder surgery in the middle and then me a week ago on the right. For those of you wondering how my life change has been going. I also want to put it out there that I have only been doing this healthy thing since the end of January 2015. So just over two months.

What a Week

I have been doing great on my life change I do however seem to have weak willed moments a little more often then I am used to. This is strange to me I never ever had these issuse and I seriously cheated three times this week. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO YOURSELF KIM?!?!? LOL

I beleive that everyone is entitiled to a cheat day... well.... did believe that. I think cheat days are what trigger my cravings to start back up and give me my good old cheat day that turns into cheat DAYS! This needs to stop!! like seriously. so my challenge for myself is to only have one cheat day very two weeks and then im going to change that to one cheat day every month. Why? some of you may ask, well, because I want there to be a point in my life that I wont need them anymore at all because the thought of unhealthy food and the taste of it will get me sick. Im pretty much there with carbonated beverages. I havent drank them in so long that when I do the taste is appauling(except one kind, hopt that changes soon too).

The good news is I have not gained the bad news is I only lost a few ounces, but hey a few ounces is better than nothing right? I will be posting comparisons as soon as I log on from a computer that isnt at work lol.


How has everyone else been? I hope doing great! well... until next time keep on losing!!!

Stress and working out

I seem to have the fitness friends that when I am stressed say take your stress and anger out in your work outs. Now I know I'm not the only one who hears that, buuuuut.... I may be the only one who thinks Id rather sit on my butt and watch something or talk to someone so that What's bothering me disappears for a while, If not the night. How does one change that? How do you go from your normal comforts when you are stressed to being a workout freak? Some people it comes naturally and always has been for them and then there's people like me that are like blaaaaaah screw this I just wanna cuddle up in my bed in fetal position with a nice cuddle buddy hahaha sad but true. Don't get me wrong I push myself and I will continue to push myself until this workout because natural to me as well. I will be a beast and I will make working out my drug!!!! So to keep you all updated with my eating habits I have been doing great! I mean im human so I did have a cheat day lol but other than that I have been feeling amazing and have been sticking to it. I have also had ppl complimenting me on how much I've lost and how good Ive been doing which is one of the most wonderful feelings ever if I do say so myself. ;) and I have had 2 ppl ask me to make them meal plans and help them out work out wise. I've finished one meal plan already and can not wait to see her progress. Id love to help ppl like this for a living. Nothing feels better than helping ppl and I bet it will feel 100 times better once I see their progress. I hope everyone has been doing as well as I have and if not please feel free to reach not to me with any questions or concerns, I will try my best to help. Thats all I have for now I dont want to drag this post out. I will update my progress once I weigh in again.

Back on it and doing it right!!!

I am a pretty stubborn person I must say... Failure is not in my vocabulary!!! I may fall down, hell I may even lay there for a while, but I will not fail!!! I started my journey a few years back on weight watchers and I must say I lost a lot of weight a crap ton actually 65 pounds!!! I stopped counting points and boom here comes my weight again. This is he second time. Sad part is it creeps up on me. I don't know how I don't notice it, it's not like it's just 5 to 10 pounds, im talking about 50 lbs. it's like I get comfortable, I let the bad habits come back and consumes me, and weirdly enough I must feel some kind of comfort in it to disregard the lbs im packing on. Right?! WRONG!!!! Now don't get me wrong as I stated before weight watchers is a great weight loss program and I am proof it is effective if you keep up with it, but I'm going to tell you my problem with it. My first problem is it's not for me!!! They claim it's a life dtlr change not a weight loss program but I just don't see it. How is counting points for the rest of your life a good thing? How would you not mess up? How do you get comfortable doing that? And my last question is if it is so effective then why is it I meet more people like me (ones who have lost and gained it back and just repeat the cycle like a yoyo) than ones who lost it and kept it off? Here's what I think needs to be done and here's what I am attempting this time around. No counting!!! Not points, not calories, no counting!!!!!!!!! I'm goinng to train myself to make smart choices, train myself to know off hand portion control, train myself to know when enough is enough. It takes 28 days to make a habit correct? Well I'm 6 weeks into my journey and that's more than the time needed to start a habit and guess what. I have lost 28 lbs. it just gets easier and easier. Yes I have days I mess up, I am human! I have days I resist cravings but that's ok. Nobody is perfect and Id rather be slow and steady than rush and fall back into the same place again. Under Armour said it best I WILL!!!! I will get where I need to be, I will get my mind set, I will make the right choices, I will get fit/healthy and I will do it because I am the only one who can. Nobody is going to make me do it, nobody is going to push me to make the right choices, and nobody is going to feel the effects of my decisions besides me. I will continue to post as frequent as I can to let everyone know my progress and I hope to hear from others as well. Everyone is different and im sure what may work for some won't work for others but we can all learn from each other on our own journey's. We can all be the support for each other, the answers to somes questions, or the ah ha moments to something we would have never thought about. We all will get to where we want to be if we stay motivated and know it takes time, remember slow and steady wins the race!! :)
