I have not been on here in forever. Life has definatly been so busy. I have been doing very well. I had started working out and joined weight watchers a few months ago to lose weight for my cousin’s wedding, and we have finally arrived on that special day last friday. it was a beautiful day with lots of memories made. i would think now its over that i’d give up but i’ve been more motivated. i worked out for 75 mintues today and felt amazing. i have not weighed in for a few months and have putting it off. i know i feel and look amazing just do not want the scale to tell me something else, but i have decided i will work out this weekend and weigh in this friday. i feel really good and feel liek ihave a new outlook on life. i can not believe this has been almost a year since i started working out and have been feeling better. i look at my goal and it is 175 and that is no longer my goal because i know i’m almost there if i’m not there already. i need to keep strong and keep working hard, the results are so worth it.

god bless!

I have been doing so amazing this week and feel so much better. I feel like a new person. I feel so proud of myself for eating right and working out hard, that I can’t help but smile. Planning my meals makes it easy to say no to tempation and I actually do not even feel hungry. I bring extra healthy snacks to work and out and about and I havne’t needed any of them.  I have been working out harder than ever and can see myself shrinking in front of the mirror. Saturday is weigh ins for weight watchers and I’m so excited to see how much this week has paid off. I honestly do not know where the old Candise has went but I’m happy she’s gone and this new confident person has taken her over.

Today was suppose to be my day off and I thought I’d get a good work out and a lot accomplished but only part of that happened. I went into work to help my boss organize which was okay because I needed the money but didn’t get much accomplished. I went to the gym and had the worse internal struggle I’ve ever had! One part of me was telling myself to quit why the other part was telling me another 5 minutes. I was so exhausted and didn’t work out as much as I would have liked but still think it went pretty well. I have been bringing my own lunches to work which has seemed to help but is so much more work at night. I ran out of smart ones so had to run to town and buy some for tommarow. For me its an easy way to stay on track because I have the right portions and the number of points figured out for me. 

Well hello again to all! It has been far to long since I’ve been here but it feels good to be back. So a little update, school is done and I currently just joined weight watchers with my cousin because she is getting married in 5 months! I had stopped being healthy probably the last month and pretty much ate whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted and ate it all! THis has not been good but we all make mistakes and this a fresh start. I am now back at snap fitness and love it! Golds gym was not right for me and I’m glad to be back working out at my old gym. Just a quick hello to all and I’ve checked out a lot of peoples pages and WOW!~!! you’ve been doing wonderful and have made such improvements from the last time I was here. Good luck!

So I haven’tbeen on here in forever but my weight loss journey has not stopped. A lot has happened since back in December when I was last on. I changed gyms and now have a 3 month membership to golds gym. I’m not completly satisfied with this gym but am excited because we are getting a new snap fitness 2 miles down the road from my house! Christmas break was a rough patch for me. With the holidays, being sick, and having one after another tooth problems (1st a cracked tooth, than the pain of the tooth dying, than a root canal, than my body didn’t take to the medication and got an infection, and than i had an allergic reacion to the medication) I’ve had a few setback one can say but I haven’t completly quit. I maintained my weight over the holidays and now hav ebeen working otu with my cousin a few nights a week at golds. Currently I’m doing a cleanse which started off day one drinking a salt solution and day two i’m cleansing with pills. On this cleanse I can only eat brown rice, veggies, fruits and a protein drink. I’ve been so busy I haven’t been hungry a lot but its hard being at home seeing the normal meals everyone else is eating and that I have to have brown rice again! But so far I weighed myself today and i was under 180 and this was at night so it was exciting to see. If i would have seen 177 in themorning wouldnt have been that excited because I always weigh about 5lbs less in the morning but this was almost before bed so I was excited about that. I can’t remember the last time i as unde 180 so It makes me feel good. I’m now going to school full time and working less which is nicebut my life hasn’t slowed down one bit! Ifinally am on all the right vitamins and suppliments and feel the best I’ve felt in forever. I’m finally happy and the pounds are coming off each day. Here’s to being back on here again. I haven’t stopped my weight loss but just have lost my way of being here for support. I’m glad to be back and look forward to starting on here again!

I’ve honestly been lost lately. I met with a nurse the other day who believes my thyroid levels are off and thats why i’m having such a hard time loseing weight so I have this new herbal liquid i can drink and ive been feeling better. I put on my skinny jeans from american eagle that I havent been able to fit in since like 9th grade and it felt amazing:) so proud. I’ve kinda been out of the mode lately of working out and being healthy. Have been working so much OVER 40 hrs last week and still school! and finals are this week so just trying to make it threw. Finally went out last night and it felt soo good. Honestly i needed to let lose I was just so stressed, but felt good and back to homework today so i’m done thursday! hope everyones doing well sorry i havent been here lately for any of you, i promise ill be back soon just need to take care of some other stuff first

alright alright i confess, everyone telling me to let mybody rest was correct! but i didn’t listen i went to the gym anyways today because it was my day off and i thought i’ve have time to work hard and have ag ood workout. this didn’t work so well: I did a hour cardio and go threw 2 sets of reps on every machine and had to leave because i was dizzy and felt like i was going to through up. I went tanning and almost left in the middle of that because i wasnt’ feeling well.I thought maybe i was just hungry so i went to subway and got a sub i took a bite of that and almost puked all over my car. i decided to just go home, curl up in my blankies and take a nap for 30 min. This seemed to help, i woke up feeling good, hungry, so i ate my sub and went to get a massage. The lady who gave me my massage told me it felt l ike i had rocks in my back! probably from stress and working out so I’ve decided to go back every few weeks ifi have time to get a massage because boy doi hurt right now from her rubbing my neck and sholders. Tonight I will take it easy and NOT work out tommarow. Ishould have listened. you ladies know what your doing! I’ll listen to ur advice from now on. Goodnight!!!

this journey of loseing weight has made me exhausted not only physically but mentally. I’m just so overwhelmed trying to go to school working so many hours a week and still going to the gym everyday. I had to work today until 7, went tanning, and then to the gym! I was the only one in the gym today watching the biggest loser finale and almost just started crying. I have so many emotions from loseing weight and my life I’m just overwhelmed. I’m finding feelings inside that I haven’t felt before and I’m so confused. This journey is teaching me so much and each day is a new experience. I did alright today, didn’t eat much, a pretty good breakfast and a few snacks. I made special K bars at work. my fav and didnt eat any so very proud of myself for that. I’m feeling much better about myself but still have a long way to go. I finally have a day off tommarow so hopefully i’ll have time to get some things done that have been on th eback burner for way to long. But for now I’m so exhasuted i didnt even want to come online but thought i needed to come and just blog how i was feeling. I dont know if people actually read these but this is more for me everyday to chart my journey and how its affecting me. goodnight.

So after last night I woke up and told myself it was going to be a good day, and it was! Had multigrain cherios for breakfast with organic yogurt. went to school than work. had oatmeal with fruit in it for lunch. for snack 2 rice cakes, pb, and bannana! so a good day of healthy eating! went tanning and to the gym after work. Spent 2 hours at the gym and kicked some butt! Elpitical for a hour 458 Cals, lifted for about a half hour, and then 10 min on tredmill on incline and fast walk and 10 min cool down. I watched a few youtube videos last night for core ab workouts and did them durning my stretching time and it felt good. so a very good day. It feels so wonderful to have a good day and hopefully many more to come. but for now i’m off to bed to get rested up for tommarow. goodnight to all!

Had to work today on sunday!!!!!!!! so got up had 2 rice cakes with pb and bannans and headed  off to work! did well all day… had my gym bag ready to go so i could hit it on the way home. well it kept getting later and later and they (the parents and other 2 kids I work for) still werent home. finally they showed up at 8:30. Really? so i couldnt go to the gym even if i just did cardio I wouldnt be home until after 9:45 so I just came home which I was ok with since I didn’t eat a large amount of calories today. well until I came home. I was hungry so i had the mini rice cake. well i should have never started. first it was 3 mini rice cakes, then like 5 macroons, then i wanted a meal. i was going nuts! had a smart one breakfast sand. some doritos and again my favorite vanilla cream waffers. I was sitting there eating saying why are you eating this and my brain is yelling because im starving! I told my mom while going threw the kitchen. this is why i go tot he gym or else i go phsycho! which i did today. I love the gym and it keeps me sane and without it I wouldnt be able to lose weight because my gym determines how i eat and how i am for the day. i know how hard it is to burn everything off that i eat so i’m anal about what i put into my body and the hard work its goign to take to burn it off. also my suppliment (pre workout drink) has an appetite suppresent in it so once i come home i don’t raid the house! so ashamed. I was taking my contacts out getting ready for bed and told myself i wasn’t going to blog this but i have to because this is my weight loss journey. not all days are going to be succesfful and great. we all go threw hard times and fail and cave in, but tommaros a new day where I will go to the g ym and get back on track.. better luck tommarow. goodnight for now
