Work Work Work, all day long...

...At least that's how I feel like my life is currently with working housing and having a 4 hour spanish class every day. woooo!

Okay, so I've been doing some research and I calculated my BMI and I came to a seriously scary moment...I'll share some stats with you that I almost passed out from.

BMI Key

• < 18.5 - underweight
• 18.5 - 24.9 - healthy
• 25 - 34.9 - grade 1 obesity
• 35 - 39.9 - grade 2 obesity
• > 40 - grade 3  (morbid obesity)

Enter my stats

• Sex: female
• Height: 157.48 cm
• Weight: 211pds

Hit enter.

• BMI - 38.7
• Average - 24.9
• Classification - Grade 2 obesity

Enter a "holy shit" moment and some serious "omg's"

Then I decided that I was going to do some research about different things. 

• Ideal body weight for women under 30 years of age = 13-18%
• My body type is probably either a Mesomorph or an Endomorph, probably a Endomorph because I have a large frame. This is important because most people have an ideal person they'd like to look like body wise but it might be unattainable because your frame is different. I now know that I won't have a body like most Victoria Secret models. 

I also learned that to lose weight as an Endomorph, I need a serious cardio regimen. For max. weight loss, I need to aim for 45-60 minutes of cardio 5-6 times a week at a moderate to high level. And that these workouts should be done around the same time of day. 

Also, counting calories! I really need to be better at doing that. 

And please, for the love of all things holy, I need to stick with my shakes!!! Oh my lanta I've been so bad lately. I know I can do it too, that's the thing that I get mad at my self for. I know exactly what I need and should do, but I don't. 

I also need to pick up my faith life. It's been slacking lately. 

I'm gonna make a change... que Michael Jackson - Man In The Mirror

Herp derping around - blah

okayyyy so i've royally sucked lately.

I've been eating nothing but crap since last weekend but I'm getting back on track slowly.

• Breakfast: shake with mango silk
• Snack: green apple
• Lunch: Greek salad from Sandella's and a small bag of Mrs.Vicky's salt and vinegar chips and a filled cookie for dessert
• Snack: fell into temptation and had another filled cookie, darn you Eve
• Dinner: Sandella's Turkey & Bacon wrap with Mrs. Vicky's salt and vinegar chips

Been feeling discouraged lately to do pretty much anything, although I feel the urge to. I'm not really sure what it is.

Side bar, I've always kinda wondered if I had a gluten allergy or sensitivity. It started when I was in Austria (Spring 2011). For about 2 months in the beginning, everything I ate made me feel sick, I was sluggish, had headaches, bloated, etc. I've felt that way for a long time now, especially lately and I'm starting to wonder again. Idk, whatevs.

All I know is that I'm tired of being a lazy bitch. I need to start taking better care of myself. I have absolutely no reason to be lazy and not follow my diet. I have an addiction to food. Salty, sweet, super fattening food. It's so delicious but so horrible for my body and I know I need to break this addiction.

I'm going to try to follow my diet this weekend, even though I know it will be hard because of the youth conference, but it's the last one so that's bueno.

Also, if you have any prayer intentions let me know, I'll use those as inspiration and offer them up during the day when I'm feeling discouraged.



Some inspiration to hold on to:

‎"With your help, as long as there is strength in us, we will fight to the last breath, so help us O Queen, O Lady, O Best and Dearest Mother"-St. Maximilian Kolbe

I CAN DO THIS! I WILL DO THIS! 

Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels...

A'ight.

So I've worked out every day since Monday, although I haven't today yet, but the plan is to do it in the afternoon. Also, I've been sticking to my diet pretty well with the exception of yesterday. I could name off excuses like "it was my friend's birthday so I had cake" which is true, but I could have said no and resisted the sweet funfetti temptation buuuuttttt I didn't. Bummer. It was good tho! But super bummer. Oh well, start new today.

Another fun fact, Jillian Michael's is kicking my ass. Hopefully gonna work out today :)

Been up since 4:30am - just another day at work...woo...haha

Intake so far:

• Breakfast: shake with almond milk and frozen mixed berries 
• Snack: Personal pizza
• Lunch: Cheeseburger with ketchup and mustard, dorritos, and a chocolate chip cookie & a diet coke - caffine is definitely my friend today
• Been drinking lots of water tho, wooo

Ugh conferences are so freaking hard to stick to my idea diet with the insane hours and exhausting lifestyle that it has me lead. 

Okay enough bitching and moaning, I'm going back to watching Man vs. Food.

Pants at a time like this?!

Currently watching The Hangover with Tay :)

Today, I got my test back and got an 84%. Not too bad for studying a few hours before so I'll take it.

Today's intake

• breakfast: shake with vitamin water because i couldn't get milk
• lunch: chicken caesar salad from the pub
• snack: apple
• dinner: shake with skim milk and blackberries

Exercise:

• day 2 of the 30 Day Shred

Whew, I'm sore!

Day 2

What upppppp?? :) Got my test from last week back today and got a 96%! That makes 96%'s on both tests so far. I took test 3 earlier today and I think I did pretty well.

Just finished day one of Jillian Michael's 30 day shred!

Post workout, don't mind the face haha

My buns are going to hurt tomorrow, goodness. Haha life is good today.

Daily food intake so far:

• Breakfast: shake with skim milk banana flavoring and frozen strawberries 
• Snack: yogurt with blackberries and granola from Jazzman's
• lots of water, duh

I'm gonna go drink some water and have another shake. Wonder what I'll have for dinner tonight? Probs Sandella's and then watch Pretty Little Liars with Nicki and Taylor.

Update more later. 

Peace and blessings <3

Day One

What up party people :)

Went to bed at 9:30 last night and didn't wake up til my alarm at 9am this morning - needless to say, I needed sleep haha. Definitely restful, and when I got out of bed I forgot how legs worked.

Today marks the first day back on the Vi Life. Today's meals included:

• Breakfast: shake with orange juice
• Lunch: from the Pub- grilled cheese, little bit of tomato soup, waffle fries and a bit of brownie for dessert
• Snack: shake (one scoop with fruit)
• Dinner: Sandella's chicken and sun dried tomato panini and sun chips

I would have followed the diet stricter but I was feeling light headed and needed more than a shake for dinner otherwise I wouldn't have made it through the rest of the day.

In other news, it was and still is super nice here today. It was sunny, windy, and just down right beautiful for a Steubenville summer day. It's currently 72 degrees and windy, actually a little chilly in the shade but I'll take it over the scorching heat any day. 

I'm also going to be posting some inspirational fitness pictures and such at some point soon.

Peace and blessings :) 

Up before the sun; what is sleep?

So I'm writing from the lobby of St. Tommy More hall at an ungodly hour of 5am on the last day of the high school 2 conference. My entire body aches, probably because I only got 3.5 hours of sleep last night. Not to mention there is no mattress pad on my bed here like the one in Bonaventure. Oh my lanta, I cannot wait for the teens and chaperones to leave. Because when they leave, that means I get to not work for a while which means one thing to me: SLEEP. The very thing that I miss so dearly and cannot wait to have back in my life. 


Okay, well hopefully today everything goes smooth as buttah so I can get back to my bed and maybe a regular sleeping pattern for a few days before high school 3.

Rant about sleep over.

So diet and food wise, yesterday was a shitshow. I definitely had basically everything you're never supposed to have ever, esp when you're wanting to lose weight. 

McDonalds

Chick Fil A

Zebra Cakes

Horrible. Absolutely horrible. My stomach wants to die right now. I keep apologizing to it, but it hasn't accepted the apology.   :( 

Today is a new day. I will eat better today. Diet starts again tomorrow. I'd start today but I feel so sick and literally cannot think right now (maybe because it's 5am) and I'm absolutely exhausted and can't think about tracking food.
