So here it is July 19th

So here it is guys July 19th and as you all know I was having an issue getting my scale moving again, and well I was desperate and though "hey maybe I should go vegetarian again, but this time do it the right way" and i did so I'll be happy to say that MY SCALE IS MOVING AGAIN!!! im down 3lbs since the last time I checked in and that was only from changing back to a vegetarian last week :) so im super stoked!

As you all know I'm going home to visit in August and I REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY want to be down 15-20lbs before I get on the plane again so as you all know I will be hitting the gym every night (or try to 7 days a week) but if not 6 will do :) I'm just excited to go home and get to see my family.

But now that going veggie is working for me even better than when I was eating chicken and such I'm glad :)

So if any of you are wondering on occasion I DO have fish, because technically I am considered a pescatarian. (meaning that I sometimes eat fish but i do not have chicken or beef), those of you who know me know that I never really ate beef anyway just because of the taste so yeah it's working out. I have been experimenting more, and learning how to cook some tofu stir-frys and such. Last night I actually had Shrimp and veggies w/Vindaloo sauce (Really spicy curry sauce) and brown rice which was absolutely delicious! So if any of you want the recipe just let me know :)

and of course if you do not have seafood at all, you can always sub the shrimp with extra firm/firm tofu or some sort of meat sub, or even just veggies! (which I have also done) it was so delicious and i HIGHLY recommend trying the sauce if you like super spicy food :)



Food Journal for Today:
6am Protein shake
9:30am Cherries
12pm Baby spinach salad w/raspberry vin, and left over shrimp-veggie Vindaloo w/brown rice.
3pm Fiber plus bar.
8:30pm Protein supplement and a grapefruit




DRINKS:
one diet drink and water.


EXERCISE:
40 min of cardio

so here's the deal.

okay so here it goes we all know I used to be vegetarian, and we all know i was a lot healthier and felt better about myself when I was on my vegetarian diet.

So I came up with the fab idea of sticking to my weight loss diet but making it a vegetarian one again :) and its been about mmm going on 2 months now and I love it :)

I'm re-learning new things again how to cook for myself and not fend on restaurants to eat food and things more fresh organic, whole grains (when I eat them) you know things like that so I'm so glad that I am back on track with that and feel so much better with the diet as well as losing my weight :)


I've been drinking lots of tea, water, cutting the coffee down A LOT. and lots of Tempeh, tofu, fresh vegetables and such :)


love it! :)

If you have any questions about how to lose weight and combining that with vegetarianism just ask! as well as if you have any suggestions PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I am open to anything new and would like pictures, recipes and such.. until next time :) !

MAMA I'M COMING HOMEEEEEEE

So Randy and I booked our flights yesterday to San Fransisco so we can go home :)! and since were not going until August 17th I have made a goal to lose 20lbs by August 17th which is roughly 7 weeks and if I am recalling correctly it took me about 6 weeks to lose 20lbs so my goal by THIS Friday is to lose between 5 and 7lbs and go from there I'm really excited to go home though It has been almost a year since I have been home and I can't wait to share my weight loss with my family!! Its going to be amazinggg :) and I get to see people that I have not seen in FOREVERRR and now they can see that I was not just some 'fat girl' I'm a real person whether I was bigger or not. So I'm just excited to prove some people wrong about myself :)



anyway enough with the ranting! hahah

WORK OUT
Treadmill 20 minutes

weights.

It's July 1st!

Its July 1st and its a new month so new goals! :) My goal by next friday is between 5-7 lbs :) and I'm sure it can happen :)



BTW I was at the gym for 1hour and 20 minutes! :) and it went by quick. I learned that if I read a good health magazine in combo with my ipod works out for me quite well :)


So I have a whole week off from school next week, and I'm thinking that I might take up a yoga or pilates class and see how it works out for me, and see if I like it. So hopefully I'll like it and go to a class once a week in combination with the cardio, ball exercises, and weights that I do :) I've stuck to my food journal and I'm doing well :)
