Hunger games

So!!! I not only didn't have time to get that good of a workout in today, but Boy, do I have the munchies!!!! I need to fuel up on protein,alright! I just made a protein shake so, so, good. ( I'll add the recipe at the bottom )
But! My body just wants to veg out and munch right now... But, the worst part is.... I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I WANT TO MUNCH ON!!!!!!!!


** TIP*** this is usually caused from BOREDOM!!! It's 945, the end of my long day, many hours were spent in front of my computer. Now, usually in the past i would think how i hardly ate during the day because my mind was completely occupied all day long. Even though my mind was on the go, that doesn't mean my body was!!
Sure, I did some yoga, but I did not work up enough calories to satisfy my late night munchie cravings!!! GO, AWAY BOREDOM!!
This is where it all becomes tricky. Whats a "hungry" girl to do???!
Sure, I can do plenty of other things to occupy my mind ; paint my nails, read a book, find some cute hair styles for a wedding I have this upcoming weekend. But right now ... I JUST WANT FOOD!!! AHHHHH !!!!

No this is where some logic comes into play. Sit back and start weighing your pros and cons ( you can use this strategy for other dilemmas besides food; taking a trip somewhere, spending money, calling that ex of yours, exc!)
But, back to the food! :)
After I list my pros and cons and let the thought sit on my mind rather than react right away... I than decide,
it's the goals that keep me far,away from my kitchen cabinet. ( especially since I made chocolate chip cookies over the weekend!!! :0 ) anyway, back to goals.
It may be short term or long term goals. Both keep you motivated. Make sure that if it is a long term goal... That you give yourself a day to indulge ( if it's a weight loss / fitness goal ) or a day to relax or whatever it is that works for your situation.

For me, Its a short goal. This Sunday I have a wedding dress that I must fit in. will I still fit in it if I gain a few pounds?? Absolutely. The other question that I ask myself is if I did gain my weight ,Will I feel as sexy and confident in that dress at that wedding as apposed to me sticking to my goal weight plan? Absolutely not.
Maybe if I get wasted I will be. BUT, That's just adding way more empty calories = adding more weight =make me more bloated and more unhappy. So in the end, I'd say that I am very happy with my choice to not munch on my late night cravings....because in the end I will love myself even more for sticking to my goal and looking hot in that dress!!! So now that I thought out what would happen if I indulged in some late night munchies, I don't even want those late night munchies anymore! Yay for the calm lifestyle that I choose ( and you can too!!!).

I mostly blame myself since I hardly got my workout on today, BUT I learn how to deal.
Stick with me, I can help you guys out with my clear thinking of food and when to eat it or not!!!


I know a close friend who has a minor depression and eating disorder. Ive noticed how she isn't in any phase in her life where she can think clearly to see how the food effects her. It's like I'm her voice. We work together.

It's almost time for bed and you know what, I'm not even having those munchie cravings anymore!!!! :)
Ah, the power of the beautiful mind.

Hey guys so this blog is for anyone dealing with learning disabilities and minor depressions.
I have ADHD.. And I love myself when I'm off my medicine because I am just, well, myself! So this goes back to my pink lady ( it is appreciation day , don't forget!!) back in early 2011 is when I wrote this entry.....

Now I'm not going to bore anyone with what the entry said... But the basic just of it was how I've noticed that when I live a "natural" foodstyle ( ate all natural foods; fruits, veggies, chicken, no preservatives , exc) is when I found that my focus was no only better than my fatter cheese and fatter milk diet, but my energy and happiness had sky rocketed. So of course I chose to further my education..... ( do more research)

Alright! So all you guys out there who have some type of learning disability or disorder... Fear not! Just please take two weeks to complete this new diet and we can get the show on the road to success!! ( I will add the two weeks challenge by Wednesday... )

- so!!! In honor of my "little pink book", I will be filling you guys in on my three rules and regulations!!

1. First options and first choices to put in your mouth before a meal should always be forv( fruits or veggies!) !! This way, if you are going to eat kind of unhealthy, you are at least getting your fruits or veggies in!!! Better than nothing!
2. If you are going to eat unhealthy, make sure that you aren't ALONE!
*tip* it's always better to save it for special events ; birthdays, anniversaries, special dates, family get togethers, you get it!
3. Exercise daily! Swim, bike ride, run, walk, jump, weights, yoga, Pilates , play out door games, heck even play with your dog!

Now y'all.. I know and you both know that Rome wasn't built in a day. If you slowly change lifestyle choices, you will see success!! :D

I was 160 at my highest.. My lowest I've been 120. Currently I am happy at 134. I honestly don't do this life style for the weight loss. I do it because it helps my mind and my body and soul!!!
Any comments or questions please leave them or message me!!!
Thank you guys so much and enjoy your evening!

Little pink book

Hey guys!!
So this entry is all about my "little pink book"!
First of, this book is tiny and cute. It went everywhere with me during my weight loss. It literally is the size of my hand. I got this book a few years before I got introduced to my iPhone, so this tiny pink lady was my best friend!!
In her ( my little pink book) I hold my secrets of loosing 25 pounds FAST and my thoughts ( happy and sad) along the way! So!
Today will be dedicated to my "little pink book"
I will be posting sections from the mind of a college student.

A lot of people can relate to this blog because I not only give you guys tips on success... But it's MY journey.
This means that all of my weak moments are written down, along with my proud and successful ones. It holds me feeling beautiful as i was, to how i react to my mother calling me fat.

Nobody said that this success of healthy weightloss was going to be easy...I'm here to help, relate, and be your friend during your struggles. Remember, Rome was NOT built in a day!

Please comment back guys and let me know anyone out there who is in college and trying to loose a pound or two! ( or even more!!) this book and my whole new lifestyle really helps out !
Love you all!!!! And bless your souls xoxoxo j

hey hey hey!! whats everyone eatin/cooking in their kitchen today?

I once read a book called "skinny bitch". It helped me get on the right track with my healthy eating, AND it was really informative on what I thought was healthy vrs what actually is healthy.

I advise everyone to read that book!! Back in my high school years, girls on my basketball team noticed my lbs really started to shed off yet they saw how OFTEN i was EATING! huhhh???
got to owe it all to my friends and the publishers of skinny bitch!!! and shout out to my cousin, Jessica who introduced that to me!

I am now feeling totally awesome and love my life!
