Its been a two year journey !

Its been a long two years since I gave birth to my son but I have over come many challenges. In the matter of two years, I have grown very independent. In just two years, I had moved three times, got my first car and license, gave birth, divorced my abusive ex-husband, gone to court, had several job opportunities, survived a concussion which I lost complete eye sight for couple days, lost my hearing for couple weeks, lost weight several times through the poor mans diet. I can write book with the many things I had to go through these past two years but after all that. I held my ground, stayed through  rough patches and continued to be a great mother and continued to work on my blog.

Times where very tough for me, but I guess in essence it worked out for me by working out my body. These past couple weeks I have been on a lean protein diet. I will later on continue to post my meals to my menu tab.

Through my hard work, I went through some rough emotional moments and finding the structure to workout was very hard but I had to do it. I found myself depressed and lying in bed and I refuse to live a sad life like when I was married. I hated the feeling of staying at home and doing nothing. So now, I'm living life a little more like I should. I have made some great friends these past couple of months, people who have helped me see my true value. And I thank them for that because that gave me the motivation to continue my blog because I must focus on the fact that this will be my future business. I helped people like my horrible ex-husband get to were hes at with his weight and helped in other areas that eventually landed him on television. Sadly he never shared those moments with me. But it truly does not bother me because I see how easy it can really be with hard work to get to the point of creating your own web site and possibly being chosen to be on television.. it was a true wake up call that I am good candidate to show young woman around me that even after a child and failed relationships. That you can have the will to believe in your self and you can give yourself all the motivation you need to succeed. I'm on a rode with high expectations for my self to make my blog worth wild. I have full plate on my hands with my personal life being a complete single parent but I still feel the fire burn inside, that I must not stop what makes me happy and busy at times.

So through my hard work effort, I have continue my yoga regime. I must admit because of some bumps on the rodes I was not consistent doing 30mins of yoga at least 4 times a week but I manage to do 5-10 mins  here and there. It may not seem much but at the end of the day or week the minutes add up to my yoga work out. I also bought a pull up bar for 20 bucks at walmart which was fantastic because I can do static holds on it and thats even better. When I have the extra cash in hand, I'm going to get some straps for my pull up bar so I can practice inversions hanging in the air... I like to play around..I call my self a monkey lol.. but I truly cant wait to purchase in the future a dip bar..it is something I really want because I'm a fan of gymnastics and that's where I get the majority of my ideas of what I can do physically.

Now these past couple weeks or better yet this month, I have some personal drama but that has motivated me to stay focus on my future of what I want to do with myself and my future. Now I am interested in becoming a personal trainer, I personally feel that this will fit into my life style. But this is not something I would consider my career, I am still continuing the goal of going to college and sticking to my biology major. I have many hobbies but this is something that I want to definitely pursue.

So this past month, my protein diet has consisted with the following foods: beef, eggs, beans, string cheese, fiber bread, low fat milk, low fat string cheese, low fat sour cream, mixes veggies, grapes and most importantly I have consumed more water than soda or any other sugary drinks. I must admit that the majority of my calorie in-take has been liquids. And  so my major weight loss has been because of what I drink more so than what I eat. Now, I'm the time of person that I cannot kick out carbs. I know people say that tortillas, bread, pasta and fries make them fat. Well I personally think they eat to much of it or even better they dress up their food with to much condiments that add more calories that probably worth more that the food it self. 

Now to people reading.. lets start small. Let go back to the basics.. Cut out the most obvious thing in you daily food intake. Like chips, cookies, ice cream and the over indulging on breads and pastas. Start eating to feel satisfied ,not full as if your eating your last meal in your life. We must remember that food is a every day necessity and its not going away, so you don't need to eat as if its your last.

Now water is most important but for people like myself that are not use to drinking water like they should. Start by crystal lights..please cut out sodas and juices. If this is difficult..start by consuming light color sodas that are caffeine free like sprite and juices that 100% real juice. Now one important thing to remember if food is your problem than drinking your calories are.. you should concentrate on portion control. I started out by using a measuring cup but that seem to much for me at the beginning..its not a problem now but I would recommend buy frozen dinners first that are of course high in protein. This will also give you a good idea how much you can eat and how much calorie's you are consuming in one sitting.

Now one last thing..exercise people. you don't have to join a gym to be active. Please! that is unnecessary. You literally sit on you but and watch TV and still move your limbs. lol Of course I rather u move your whole body lol..but if your going to dedicate your money to something..try WII fit..its not bad..there are many games you can play that can get you to exercise which is fantastic. But start taking walks around the park..than work your way to power walking..or my favorite..try out yoga people ! It is wonderful and it fits all ages.

Now take these ideas in mind and let it simmer in your mind.. I will continue my food menu to help my followers what are good ideas of food to cook and eat.Thanks for reading !
