Why I blog, well I am just getting the hang of this blog thing, so my blogs arent that great so far, but I am just a normal mom, who works and who has struggled with weight, depression, co dependent issues and the list goes on like so many other people out there. I wanted to blog so I can share my story and maybe thru sharing my story I am able to help someone else have an " A Ha" moment and make new and better changes in their life.
I am not an expert, or trained, or certified I am just a normal persone trying to make it thru this world like everyone else the best that I can. I will omit thru this you might read about my set backs, my worries, my fails but thats good too, it shows im human and make mistakes and have real life things. I sometimes see peoples blogs like famous people or people who just whine about nothing. I tend to not have alot of faith in them or learn much because I put my guard up and stop listening. I am guilty of judgement but wait arent we all!

Sizes/Shapes/Views
What is a sexy size? What is a sexy shape? Who is the population that said size 0 was sexy? I was sitting at a local coffee shop the other day and I was listening to theses young men talk about how hot the waitress was and how they would take her home! Now, was this waitress pretty, yes she was however this is what our men in society are taught to act like when a lady comes into a room. I felt bad for her, I think the idea of someone making comments like that are not good. It is empowering to be pretty and its empowering to have people think you are stunning but to be " pretty to get laid" sucks! I was thinking about what our kids are programed to think is pretty and what we teach our kids how to have relationships with other people. Where I work I see it first hand all the time. Kids have no idea how to have a healthy relationship with each other and think they will grow up and have an even worse time.
Self a steam! why cant girls be princess and boys be princes! we are forced to grow up so fast and not love life and have no worries. This creates eating issue. If one is chubby and picked on, one will get bigger and bigger and eat to self sooth, or they will no eat and have another disorder. Why are we so cruel to each other why do we miss treat our own bodies like this. Why do we allow what others say effect what we do to our selves. I am just as guilty. This week was a very bad week for me, and I faced somethings in my life i never wanted to face, however I took it to the gym, This I have to say is the first time I took my issues to the gym and I went there and beat up weights I went and ran more on the treadmill. I did this instead of eating that box of dounts or binging on bad food. SO I am happy with myself trust me this mama normally would just self sooth with junk food.
We as little princess and little princes need to take some of our power back and stop allowing people to rule what we are doing. It makes me so sad when I see 9 year olds tell me how they need to look like britney spears and how they are getting boob implants! I mean really! 9, 10, 11 at those ages I had barbie dolls and played with my friends and had fun NEVER did I think about boob jobs, or tummy tucks. We have allowed our kids grow up so fast. At my sons school field trip a lil boy had his cell phone, keep in mind my son is 7, and he was looking up things on youtube that 7 year olds should not be looking up. Kids tv now are showing girls how to be sexy at 11 it just flips me out. And we wonder why we have kids hurting themselves at 12 13 14 etc. I wish I could make a program to teach kids about healthy fitness, food and relationships! We can teach them how to say no to drugs but not how to live a positive life! How messed up is our nation!

* People like her keep me going as well! This lady is a stunning lady! She is battling so many things with weight and health and she keeps pushing thru! :)
Fight the food battle
The last few weeks have been so busy I am sorry for not updating or writing. Life got the best of me and had me running in 50 directions.
Between me moving and me working extra hours I have barley seen the back of my eye lids let alone a good home cooked meal. So what a girl to do, well thankfully I can buy pre cut veggies at the local store so I can throw them into my lunch pale for work and I dont have to pack things to cut them. When we get busy it seems to be when we eat the worse. We grab the fast food and quick junk and fill our faces. I dont know about anyone else but when I get super busy I tend to eat more because I get worry I wont get time later to eat so I over eat each time I eat.
After the over eating happens so does the self blame! SO please blogger friends if you are here and you feel this way, know its ok when you fall off the weight loss band wagon. We all have things go on in our lives we need to take a lil break. Dont beat your self up. Self love is more important than a number on a scale!

FOR my vegan friends, all meats replace with lots of greens and load up on veggies, the more the merrier! When you work out even just a few times a week you MUST eat. OF course clean eating with healthy foods not junk food or processed foods that are going to just mess up your well working machine you got there. Think of it this way do we put dirty water in our car and think it will work right, NO way we put in clean new oil, same thing we must do to our bodys. Clean eating like I said before Is more money but its worth it when you feel great! Give it a try!!
NOW lets talk supplements for a min
I love now sports, not only can the average person afford it but It is a good vegan product. Now I knows lots of people reading this are not vegan however it is just as good for you. EVERYONE needs to get a multi vit . Beyond that I would figure out your fitness goals, and research products. Theres alot of great websites like bodybuilders.com that have great diet plans and work outs and supplement ideas for you. Each person has different needs and wants. I could tell you all I take and some people might model that and take the same stuff however it might not work for them as much as it does me. You must listen to your body. It tells you daily what it wants and needs.
I cant stress enough how much rest and water is KEY in losing weight. You body needs water to live and it needs rest to rebuild it. PLEASE make sure you get enough of both each day. This also helps your body naturally produce good hormones and helps you lose belly fat!!!! WATER WATER WATER!!!!!!
