Good afternoon!
So yesterday was a bit better, though I did eat hamburger helper but i did work out for 45 minutes! so I am hoping it will compensate. Today my friends are going out for Halloween and I can't because I am still not 19. So tonight I'm going to be cleaning my room, its a tornado of clothes and books right now. That will take at least half hour to an hour. Might just do some yoga in bed! There is actually a DVD that's yoga in bed, which I have been trying out. It is really refreshing.
As for food, just eating some leftovers...and I didn't have that pita I planned to have yesterday so maybe I will eat that tonight if I want to.
I don't feel that much lighter, but success can't be had overnight and I need to accept that and not give up like I did every time before this. Wish me luck!

Day 2 (October 29, 2010)
Okay so my birthday is November 30, I have exactly one month to lose a bit of weight so I can look amazing on my birthday. Since a healthy weight loss is 1-2 lbs a week, I hope to lose at least 5 pounds by my birthday! So weight at the moment: 185 pounds. Goal weight by November 30th: 180 pounds.
Today I will be doing the 30 minute workout at night, see how that works out for me compared to mornings. Since most mornings I have class so I am home after 5 P.M.
Food plan:
I woke up late today so technically I get no breakfast.
4 meatballs, 1 serving of rice, 3 TBS tomato sauce and one bowl of salad with 1 TBS. ranch dressing and 1 serving of tortilla strips topping, some lemon juice and black pepper.
One Pita with some shredded cheese, turkey breast two slices, pizza sauce 2 TBS.
I figure I should intake 1200 calories a day so I will improve on that soon, I just need to figure it out a bit more.
Will update later.

Day 1 (October 28, 2010)
Yesterday was not the perfect day, I was not planning on starting to get healthy I just decided to do a little workout but food wise I did horrible. I don't plan on focusing too much on food, I know you should eat healthy and workout but I have limited resources as a student and I still eat healthy but I let myself slip now and again. I just need to focus on getting my 30-45 minute workout everyday whenever its possible.
Workout:
30 minutes of yoga and pilates in the morning
Food Diary:
half a slice of cheese
4 1x1 cubes of kolbassa
chicken fried rice (home made)
one honey lemon chicken breast
1/2 tilapia fillet with lemon juice, paprika and black pepper
BAD: breaded chicken wings...I gave in to temptation
I don't plan on starving myself, but I guess I need some sort of a healthy food plan but don't know what that should entail. It is impossible to follow the food guide to the T, so I will have to keep working on that.

Hi there
Hello everyone,
My name is Faiza and I started this blog because I feel like it is time that I take control of my own life and feel even better about myself. I was never the type to put myself down all the time and feel horrible about the way I look. I believe that I am beautiful, but I want to be healthy. I am 5`3 and I weigh 185 pounds. My healthiest weight ever was 128 pounds. But my goal is to be 140 pounds. When I get that far then I will continue to get healthier if that is what I need to do.
To be honest, I am sick of feeling lazy and feeling like not doing anything, or being excited to go out or dress up and just have fun. I don't want to get to a point where all I want to do is sit at home and not work and keep gaining weight. My family has a history of diabetes, heart failure, high blood pressure, high cholesterol. None of which I have...yet. I want to prevent that from happening.
I want to be able to look at myself and see the perseverance and determination of wanting to live a fulfilling life without letting harmful health conditions take over me. I still have insecurities about my looks, I never did before but I feel like I do now and that scares me. I don't want to be seen as someone who just gave up on feeling good and taking care of themself. I want to be healthy, sexy and fabulous in every aspect of my existence.
I hope that you will follow me through my journey and be able to learn something and even teach me something.
