*handing my head in shame*
My name is RedefinedDiva and I am a slacker....
I haven't been to the gym in over a month. I need to change my location because I don't think that I will win the Discovery Health Fitness Challenge at the rate that I am going. I NEED MOTIVATION!!!
Y'all, it is so hard to eat right. Every time I try, a shrimp and oyster po-boy calls my name! I can admit, though, that fast food doesn't taste good to me anymore. I don't love Popeyes as much as I used to. I am just trying to get fixed on an eating plan that I can stick to. I think that I have it narrowed down.
Breakfast:
Fruit and toast
Lunch:
Sandwich (Turkey, tuna, or chicken salad)
Fruit
Dinner:
Grilled Chicken or Baked Fish
Steamed veggies
Snacks:
Fruit
Graham crackers
I want to start drinking more water. I plan to walk for about 45-60 minutes everyday on the treadmill. I also plan yo incorporate some cruches into my day. I also want to incorporate some weights for the upper body to tone my arms and stuff. I frequent
iVillage a lot and took a little quiz to determine my body shape. I am an Hourglass (which certainly described me completely), which means that I can lose weight easily with the right exercise, like walking. Adding resistance to my exercises will actually work against me because i will bulk up too easily. There's more, but too much to go into now. You can read up on it. Here's a direct link to the quiz:

I am an 18 now. I just want to get down to a 10 or 12. Then, I will be on point! I was 'bout it when I was a 14..... oh so long ago.... *le sigh* Anyway, I'm back. I will reach my goal!! My problem is that I work out with my skinny azz best friend. That heifer doesn't need to lose any weight. She just wants to tone up. However, exercise isn't a priorty. So, when she brushes off exercise, so do I. But
I am the one who NEEDS it!
Silly me! I sometimes feel self-conscience when we are at the gym together because I know that I am bigger.... OK, I have to snap out of it! I have to get in the zone and just do it. I know y'all have my back.
