387 days passed....

Part of me forgot about this blog. A lot has happened in life for the past year... I got engaged!!~~ We haven't picked a date but we hope it will be sometime next fall. It will definitely be before I go to Pharmacy school. Considering how big both our family is, we were thinking of holding a big wedding. However, as I think about it, we are thinking of going ahead and getting eloped and then having a reception with close friends and family. Not quite sure... Enough for that part of my life...

Let's see... I also had issues with classes so I'm behind with catching up to the goal of taking the classes I need before going to Pharmacy school so I'm pushed back for another year.

Now for weight. After the last blog post, those baby steps didn't happen (right away). It took awhile after realizing how fat I felt and my clothes won't fit anymore. Thus in mid-April I finally decided to go to Jenny Craig (JC) and register for their trial period of 10 weeks. My weigh-in at the time was 192.4 lbs (back in Dec 2011 I weighed 175 T_T). My weight goal for JC is 130 lbs. I will be totally satisfied if my weight goal is around 120-125 lbs or pants size 2. My sister wears size 2/4 and she has hips. I was not thankfully blessed with any hips, so I'm thinking I will be a girl with no curves when I lose all my weight. Hah!

My last weigh in was on July 5 at 178.2 lbs. Today for the first time since the last weigh in was 179 lbs. I have to admit, I wasn't watching what I was eating nor was I exercising as much. -.- However I'm surprised I didn't gain a whole pound!

So now, with small steps at a time I will be changing myself and my lifestyle.

As I blog my thoughts and journey through this weight loss, I hope I become a person who is happy and confident with myself. I know there will be ups and down but as long as I take it day by day and persevere I will bounce back up.

Today my itinerary for physical activity: 30 day squat challenge, Hiit fit challenge day #1 and #2. As for my meals, I'm going to make lentil stew for dinner and lunch I had leftover tofu stir fry from last night (trying to eat as much veggies as possible).

Until tomorrow...

My Journey to a Whole New Piggi

The other day I read this quote:

If you want to succeed in your life, remember this phrase: That past does not equal the future. Because you failed yesterday; or all day today; or a moment ago; or for the last six months; the last sixteen years; or the last fifty years of life, doesn’t mean anything… All that matters is: What are you going to do, right now?
                                                                                                    --Anthony Robbins

This quote really resonated within me. I started asking myself, I can't keep thinking of my mistakes from the past. I now will have to think, what am I going to do today? Tomorrow? Hence, I should look forward and start anew.

For me to decide a lifestyle change, it will be hard. I have to convince myself, it will definitely not be easy. Life was never easy. I have to persevere. This will definitely be a challenge since I was never one to go through something to the end for a lifetime. However, to think positively, I will have to start taking baby steps.

I want to start with my physical health. Weight has always been an issue with me. My weight has always been a yo-yo and I was discouraged as my weight steadily went back up. Now, for a change, let's focus on physical activity and cutting back the portion of what I eat so far. Let's see how it goes....
