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:
