The Plan for Today

This morning is a brand new morning and I have taken advantage of it, for the first time in a long time. After driving my Fiance to work I decided instead of going back to bed I would set up my rebounder (mini trampoline) and start a work out regime . It wasn't a long workout, but it is one of many. My goal is each day to do: 15 minute sessions 3 times a day. What times?
~After I drive Ari to work @ 7am
~When I get home for lunch @ 11:45am
~After School @ 3:30pm
So in total I will be rebounding for 45 minutes a day. With the exception of Sunday - maybe the pool? or a walk? I haven't decided quite yet but my Sunday's will be more of a rest day than anything.

Starting today as well, I will be writing in a food journal to see what kind of things I am really putting in my body without realizing it. I am a unconscious and compulsive eater, I dont think about what I am eating ( how it tastes or makes me feel) and how much I am eating ( a couple chips or a whole bag?!?!)

I have had issuses with my stomache since I can't even remember. Constant doctors visits and hospitalizations, and the doctors couldn't tell me that there was anything wrong. Some said Crones, others said ulcers. I have had way too many scopes, tests, scans and x-rays, and I am sick of it LITERALLY! So with everything I eat I will write down how it makes me feel. Not only if it hurts my stomache but also if it makes me feel tired, over energetic, maybe even nothing. And I will track all of these things and see what kind of results I recieve.

Have The Best Day Ever!

A Holiday to End All Doubts

Oh yes, I survived. Maybe a few pounds gained (haven't unpacked my scale so we will see) but I am feeling renewed and at ease with myself and the transformation I am going through. I was able to see all of my very supportive immediate family members ( my mom, dad, older brother, little sister, and my Baba & Deda (grandma & grandpa) and my Fiance's side of the family - because Ari wasn't able to come with me).

Living so far from home really gets me down (as it would anyone). Not seeing the ones you hold dear and look for when in need of a little reassurance, really puts a damper on me. But seeing them at Christmas was amazing and refreshing. I have a bright sense of purpose and determination to thrive and make the most of my day to day wins and loses ( mostly wins! )

My Fiance, Ari is seeing the changes and how I am committed to my new life of health and wellness and he is being so amazing and supportive. :) It's so nice to have that recognition from someone I love so dearly. Things were a little tense when I left for Holidays but they are quite great and we are spending more time together as a couple and less time together as house mates.

I can hardly wait to be married to Ari, he shows me how great of a person I am and my unlimited potential. One of the biggest reasons for me loosing weight is because I made a Promise to myself and to Ari that I would not be overweight, unhealthy, or haggard for our wedding.
~I am going to fit in my perfect wedding dress!
~I am going to dance all night!
~I am going to wear fabulous high heel shoes and my feet will feel like I'm wearing none!
~I will be so beautiful that Ari will want to cry :) (this one probably won't happen cuz Ari ain't a cryer lol )
~The only dilemma I will face will be how everything I wear looks so good that I won't be able to decide what to put on!
~I will be slim and fit and the most beautiful woman there ( minus my mommy :) cuz she is so beautiful!)

~I will be all of this... for me! and a little bit for Ari too :)
