Week 3 vid!

Hey guys! My week 3 vid is up...a bit late. Sorry about that. This past week has been pretty rough. I found out my mom is having some serious health issues and we've just been dealing with that. So please keep my family in your prayers!
I weigh 220.4lbs!!! Pretty excited to hit 2teens..haven't been below 220's since before christmas! I was 214lbs then!! I gained 15lbs in just a few months! My goal for this week is 218 and to have a healthy mom =)
Thanks for reading <3

Happy mother's day!!!

Going out to dinner tonight for the madre!! I'm a bit nervous because I don't want to overeat..so I'm eating VERY light until dinner time.

Day 3&4 of mini challenge

Failing miserably. I would REALLY like to not elaborate but I feel as if i should. Yesterday involved a lot of macncheese AND McDonald's fries...oh and a king size kitkat bar...today not much better. Miraculously I weighed in at 221.8!!! PRETTY DARN HAPPY!! I think whats helping is i'm unintentionally calorie cycling. For instance thursday i had only around 1000 calories while friday...I had considerably more..around 1800cals. I'm so close to the 2teens i can taste it!!! Because yesterday was a high cal day...today i'm shooting for 1100... =)

Oh and the "eating clean"....yea not working out too well.
 Until tomorrow!

Day 1 of eating "clean"

Today was easy..considering I was home all day and woke up at noon.
Breakfast: we could argue was a pear. I ate it around 1:30p.m. though... 100cals

Lunch: small fresh salad. (50cals) Naan bread with hummus(295cals)...345 cals

Dinner: I have a picture =)...Okay so i know what you're thinking. Not exactly mouthwatering. I think the reason I can eat this and not cry is that there's actually a treat in here! Gasp surely not the mixed veggies...nope(although they were pretty good) Its the drink! Izze sparkling grapefruit...yumm! It tastes like soda!! Its really just sparkling water and fruit juice and for 120cals..i love it! The veggies were 60cals, the bread(100), chicken and a bit of mayo(im saying 140) All in all. 420..not too shabby. I know what else your thinking. For 420 cals, i'd rather eat a burger from McDonalds. Yea, maybe. But not if you wanna lose a pound a day.

That brings my daily total to 845 cals. Which is low. But mind you, its only 7:15p.m.
Im planning on getting some sort of exercise..so if i'm hungry later i'll get some fruit and green tea =)
See ya tomorrow!

Jr. Prom dress woes!!

Hey everyone, so its that time of the year again....
Yes I'm talking about PROM SEASON!!!

So as you may or may not know I am a junior in highschool and at my school we have junior prom..which is well..prom for juniors. I don't have a date but am going with a group of friends which will be awesome. My only dilemma is dress shopping. I really want to look and feel great and I know I won't be 140lbs come prom night(its may 21) but I do want to feel beautiful. I'm reallyyyy self-conscience about my arms. They're terrible =(. And finding a prom like dress with sleeves is next to impossible. I've found a dress that I really like but I haven't gone to the store to try it on and its rather expensive. I think its about $300 or so.

I love the vibe of the dress. So twenties! I love it. I'm scared though that it will be unflattering on my body type.

I love it in gold the best.

Making a CHANGE! (get ready for a long blog post)

Hello everyone! It has been just over two weeks since i've started my weight loss journey. As of now I weigh 222.8lbs, just under 4lbs since i've started. So your probably wondering why i am so upset! As you already know I am on my own personal challenge to lose 30lbs in six weeks. To achieve this I need to lose about 5lbs a week which, let me tell you..requires dedication and hard work. Two things I've been sorely lacking of. These past couple weeks I have not stuck to any of my commitments. Sure, I've lost weight. But not in the way i've wanted to. I haven't counted calories since last week and i've been eating a diet consisting entirely on candy and junkfood!!
I've decided that I NEED a change. A recommitment of sorts. I can't keep going on like this and hope i'll lose weight. So this entire week i've decided to do a mini challenge. I figured it would help  with motivation and help kick this addiction to sugar. What i'll be doing is eating completely clean! By this I mean fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, bread(yes bread), and no red meat. I'm aiming to lose 7lbs. Which would be a pound a day. As for exercise, I'm going to get it in when I can. My schedule is pretty hetic so unfortunately i can't commit to any sort of gym regimn. But when I do figure out some sort of system i planning to go back to Couch25k....its a great program and it requires very little planning effort on my part.

Anyways, I hope you all are doing well. And if your reading, please comment! It means so much..really. Anyways email me at 30insixwks@gmail.com if you have any further questions/concerns or would just like to chat. Above is my latest youtube video. Subscribe if you'd like to see video progress on my weightloss. Youtube is a great tool, use it!
Until next time!

Feeling super discouraged.

Finsished AP testing today thank GOD! But I'm feeling so discouraged diet wise. I won't get into details but I feel like I'm in such a rut! Its so frustrating..like i'll never lose weight. I just got back from an evening walk with my mom which was good but my eating habits have been so terrible. I can feel myself giving up..but i'm determined to stick to this... I really don't know.
New youtube video coming either tomorrow or the day after. Don't get your hopes up. There won't be any weight loss. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see a gain.
Until Next time..

Stay strong. Here's last week's video if you haven't seen it already.That thumbnail is gross.
