So...

When I start to tell a story I normally start it with “So…” And I wasn’t aware of it until I did an internship in New York. When my manager would have to call a client from Missouri for a meeting he would get himself all set up with plenty to do during the meeting. He said we tend to talk slow and drag out words and start everything thing with ‘”So…’”. So I became aware of this habit so thought why not embrace it. Each of my blogs are like a story I would tell a friend so I would only seemed fitting I started it with “So…”.
Okay SO here goes…
My name is Jessica and I’m a fat girl. This blog will be about my struggle with my inner fat girl as I try to be a fit girl. I have struggled with my weight for a few years and this blog is a glimpse into my daily battles with myself, fitness, and food.
Bear with me through this process, as I will have slip ups and typos but I never claimed to be a fitness professional or a writer.

So...Time to refocus!


Time to refocus! I have gotten off track. I have let lake trips, 4th of July, and work affect The Jessica Lose Weight Mission! I have been giving into temptation and it needs to stop. Wedding planning, appointments and work have had something almost every night for the last few weeks causing missed workouts. I need to get serious! If I am going to miss a workout I need to get up in the morning and workout. Just hard to do on 4-5 hours of sleep as is without waking up early but I need to do it.  I am hitting reset. No more excuses.

I have made an expensive step in the right direction. I ordered Shakeology.  The shakes tastes amazing. I actually can’t wait to have it in the morning. I have some Profit shakes at home too. I am going to try and do a shake for breakfast and a shake for lunch or dinner, a healthy meal and a few healthy snacks throughout the day.  I do not want my body to go into starvation mode, so don’t worry, I will still hit the daily calorie goal. Speaking of calories... my trainer gave me the calorie goal of 1700.  My issue has been on non workout days (weekends) I will not make healthy choices, a double wham to the diet. I am going to aim for a 500-1000 calorie deficient every day. Meaning burn 500-1000 more calories than I eat. So on days I workout I can eat more. I got bodybugg and it will help me keep track of calories burned and consumed.



 

On days I workout I burn anywhere from 2700-3200 depending on how insane Mendy is that day. On days I don’t work out I burn around 2200-2400 calories. So I will eat 500-1000 under what was burned that day. The body bugg will make me more conscious of what I put in my body. If I am swamped that day and cannot find the time to work out I know I will have to eat less to hit my deficit. Wish me luck I have tried this before and fallen off track. This time I do not care I look like an idiot with an ugly black watch and armband because I look like an idiot wearing jeans in the summer because I cannot wear shorts. I look like an idiot wearing a sweater over short sleeves and tank tops to cover my arms.

I am sorry I have let any readers down and I am sorry to myself, I have let myself down. I let excuses and a busy schedule push me off track. And I regret it.

 Here is looking forward to positive posts with positive results in the near future!
