Meal Plan..!

Hello people of the internet. How are you today? I am feeling pretty good today and I hope the sae for you all. This post will be a description of my 1200 calorie diet. It is brought to you by the  My Weight-loss Advisor website. I chose to go with this websites pre-made diet plan because it was easier for me. It is a very low calorie diet, but it is well balanced with plenty of lean protein.

Dividing the food into five separate small "meals" rather than the more traditional 3 meals per day, is to keep your metabolism up and to keep you from getting too hungry between meals.

Below is a example of what a typical day would be like on this diet. For more details about this diet and for a 5 day meal plan, visit http://www.my-weight-loss-advisor.com/1200-calorie-diet.html#.U8RsMPldXhJ.

At this Moment...

I'm feeling emotionally drained at this moment. I kind of wish I was satisfied with myself then I would probably not even be doing this weight-loss challenge or even be awake at this hour.

It sucks that losing weight is so difficult..

I am in desperate need of some motivation.

Where can I find it?

ugh..... I cannot even pretend that the only reason I am emotionally drained is because of weight-loss. I had another failed relationship.

I am not sad.
Not.at.all.

I am just disappointed that guys and me are so incompatible. Regardless of what a man's astrological classification is I am simply unmatchable or uninterested. I have plenty of men who I converse with and who are interested in having a romantic relationship with me I am just so ...eh I am not sure what to call it... Indifferent, maybe?

Regardless, I have no feelings towards men right now other than disappointment and disinterest. I cannot wait until I met the man who changes my mind. *sighs dreamily*  

Wearily,

Return..

It has been a while, but it has also been a long time coming that I return to the web. I have been quite the over achiever in my quiet months. I have been so busy with my artwork and college life that blogging was a bit out of mind. Needless to say, I'm back and the weight that I had lost is back as well. With the fast life comes a lot of fast food but since my life has finally slowed down, I can start another weight-loss challenge. I want this one to be a bit fast paced though.  It will be different rules and my next post will post the actual challenge and its guidelines for those who are interested in joining me.

I am artist. I love music, sculpture, drawing, writing, painting blah..blahh blah... you get the picture. So don't be surprised if I decide to post some of my work from time to time. I have been working on this short story and I might even post excerpts from time to time.

Basically, I'm saying that I may post random post tha have nothing to do with weight loss. Hopefully It will all be entertaining nonetheless.

Until Next Time,

J.  

Birth Control Pills and Dieting

Hello Ladies.. How's your journey going? Had SEVERAL bumps in the road? Dont worry, so have I!  Im still working towards my goal. This particular blog is dedicated to all the ladies out there on BC and dieting.

Many people claim that birth control doesn't cause weight gain and others say that it does. I know from experience that birth control can cause a huge increase in appetite. They also often lead to water retention as well.  The obvious solution to overcoming the possibility of  gaining weight is, of course, exercise, buts face it, most of us like to eat! My solution is to simply keep healthy snacks around when a craving hits you. If chocolate is your down fall, buy Quaker Chocolate crunch rice cakes. There only 60 calories so you shouldn't feel too bad for indulging.  You could also drizzle two tablespoons of chocolate syrup over a half a cup of sliced strawberries. Honestly, that is one of my favorite choices.  If neither of those does it for you, maybe try a bowl of whole grain chocolate flavored cereal. Its not exactly the healthiest choice but Its not the worse you can do when breaking the rules of a diet.


But remember ladies, if you are severely , you will have the will power of a god and the end result will be a body of a goddess!  Cant wait until this journey is complete!

Getting that Flat stomach of a Goddess

Hey lovelies.. How are you? Well I'm a little on the tired side( being that it is finals week: summer edition). Anyways Im finally seeing the results tht i've been wanting to see! My stomach is getting flatter and I am sooooooo thrilled. My trick to a flatter stomach is WATER and lots of it.

A way that you can transition into drinking more water is by drinking 8 oz. of water before each meal.  Cutting out sodas and fruit juices altogether will definitely be beneficial in losing weight and obtaining that body of a goddess.

Another thing you must do to get a flatter stomach is to LIMIT your sodium intake. Put that salt shaker down! Also, try to eat smaller meals. Big meals put a lot of stress on the digestive system!

Eat lots of fiber and consume a diet high in fruits, veggies, and whole grains.

Here comes the harder part for some... the exercise part!

CARDIO CARDIO & MORE CARDIO!!

I would suggest  doing high intensity workouts so you get ur heart rate up and burn a many calories a you can. 30 minutes a day, 3-5 times a week is what's suggested on most blog sites; however, I'm not that fit yet and I can get a bit lazy. What I have started to do is several FREE high intensity, short cardio workouts offered by FitnessBlender.com and a few other channels on Youtube. I usually do a 17-minute video or a 10 minute video depending on my schedule.  I also love to do Zumba. :)

Im going to keep up with this routine for about 2 weeks and then check the results.

Worlds Worst Blogger = Jayye

Okay.. I know I know. I absolutely SUCK at blogging. I just get so busy with school and being a mommy that blogging often skips my mind but I decided to post today. Hopefully some of you out there still read my posts.

I've been doing diets && such and cant seem to stick to them like I should, so my progress isnt as dramatic as I had wanted it to be. Also I've had problems in losing weight too fat which can cause stretch marks soo ladiess, be cautious of how fast you lose weight. I've been also doing my research on body types and how to get a smaller waist and I came across some thing called "waist training" and I'm going to try it out for a while.

I heard that alot of models do corsetry to achieve smaller waists and more hourglass figures without having some kind of surgery.

I received my corset today && im really excited to get started. Keep in mind that if you want to try this method, you should research about it to make sure its for you.

I'm going to post pictures of my updated body soon so you guys wont think im not really trying to get that body of a goddess!

Oh yeah, update on the exercises I've been doing: I've fell in love with Zumba. Its so fun! I alternate days of Zumba with days of short high intensity cardio workouts. I also still do my leg and glute exercises from previous posts to keep my butt looking right! Also, I've been eatting at least 2 raw veggies before eact meal and I drink 2- 3 liters of ice cold water a day (which is soooo hard).


Wells thats all folks!

Still not were I want to be.. -__-

Hey ladies.. today Im not at my happiest moment. I didnt completly fail the challenge bt ii did have several setbacks so im continuing the challenge until the end of this school semester.. Are you guys with me??
