A few days late!!

So it's been a week and I know I promised myself that I was going to blog more. It's been an eventful week I did good when I was going to work I woke up everyday at 4 a.m. and went to exercise. I prepared meals and I took them to work.

When I worked out the first time, at 4 am I felt good, the next day I was weak and I wanted to get off the elliptical but I told myself that I always give up and make excuses and this time it's going to be different. I stayed on the elliptical for the full 30 minutes and did five minutes of cooling down. I did the same the next day, I woke up at 4am and went to the gym.

My days off however are a different story because it's hard for me to go to sleep and so I was up until 2 to 3 a.m. on both days and slept until 12 p.m. those days. I realize I have to fix this, but I guess when I know I'm not going to work I just don't make the effort to go to bed early. I would like every day of my life to be perfect but I know there's no such thing especially when you have three children, life happens. I'm going to go to bed early today hopefully by 10 pm so I can wake up and go to the gym before I go to work. I work for the next 3 days 3 12 hour shifts so we'll see what happens and then I'm going to be off for 6 days hopefully I can get into better habits in those days off and not sleep my life away.

I have also prepared my meals for the next 3 days, for work hopefully that will help me create better habits.

Day 2 MLK day 1/16 and Day 3 1/17

Waking up is not the easiest thing to do.....it was my day off yesterday so I slept in! I woke up late feeling demotivated but I did some deep cleaning in my kitchen and I am  pretty sure I burned lotsa calories on my hands and knees to boot.

I had a cookie by accident [lol], really I did mindless eating.

Day 3 got up at 4am walked 1.59 miles....I ate good all day no mindless eating.


And then I did a 12 hr shift and I feel good, just a lil bit hungry umm who am I kidding I am a lot Hungry but no more mindless eating. I already feel a whole lot better, so I will keep trucking :) !!!

New Year (better late than never) 1/15

 I have tried to lose weight over and over how many years and I have failed because of two main things, I lack discipline and consistency. So what is different now I am getting older, I was diagnosed-with type two diabetes. As a nurse I have seen firsthand what can happen to someone who does not take care of themselves when they have type two diabetes. I definitely do not want to be in that position for my kids to have to bare the taking care of their sick momma. I am all they have and that all I have to so I'm going to do this for me and for them. Today is the new year for me, I know I am 15 days late but better late than never. I commit to make the time to work out and to prepare my meals that I healthy for me and my kids. I will also include my kids in my working-out when I can. So here's to the new year I hope everybody will fulfill their New Year's plans, resolutions  I am rooting for everybody!!!
