Calorie restrictions: Good Lesson or Set up for Failure

You already know the deal….keep on eating like crazy you ain’t gone lose a damn thang. I use MyFitnessPal and sometimes SparkPeople to track my food and beverage consumption. If you enter your information correctly, the website or app will give you a calorie allowance according to your age, weight, and height. Now here comes the hard part……staying within that allowance. It’s Monday morning…you gungho… you’ve even come up with your plan…Bam.. I’m gonna eat this, this, and this… Midday you hungry as hell….but you pumping yourself up….”I CAN DO THIS!!!... I’m eating right…hell I’m gone be fine as wine in summertime. I’m just teaching myself some discipline” You did it…you made it thru Day 1 within your allowance. Day 2 a little better…Day 3…damn they serving lunch in the office….. and man I been so deprived…surely this piece of fried chicken won’t hurt. Surely. But that piece leads to something else..sides? dessert?.. and afterwards you like hell today is blown…let me just gone enjoy and try tomorrow… or worse yet… you let that meal convince you the entire week is blown and you’ll start again next Monday. Vicious cycle…. On one hand I can keep trying to find things to stay within those set allowances but on the other hand I’m thinking is this low ass restriction just making me throw my hands up. Plenty of days I throw my hands up in defeat….. but thankfully plenty more days I stay within what’s planned. It’ll be nice when it’s second nature and I’ve learned what to eat and still be satisfied….but for the record… that day ain’t today. -signed hungry but determined. (lol)

As Clean As it Gets..... (for me anyway)

BANG!...And she's off ... I love Mondays because I'm always off to a good start. Started my day with a short 20 minute workout on elliptical/bike....made my first green smoothie with kale, banana, and green apple.Pretty good for my first. Still researching for tips and such. Energy level straight today so far. And plan to have a garden salad served with some turkey breast that i baked yesterday. Doing a 30 day challenge with my daughter to be consistent with cardio activity for 30 minutes per day average. We shall see... Sunshyne Out .

My curl exactly!!

Look at this.... I'm hold ing up a strand of my own hair and a strand of weave.... can't tell can you? Nope...this hair is an exact match of my natural hair... No one can ever tell unless I tell them..it's hilarious. I love it because my hair is very thick but not as full as I would like it to be so sometimes I add in a track or two to "help" me out. I've let alot of black grow in....ALOT... lol. And it's darker than the 1b/30 weave... it's been so long since I've seen my roots in their natural stage that I just didn't even realize my hair is really black...not off black... jet black.. I love it. Thought about dying the rest but kinda feeling this.

21 Day Fix Overview - Week 1

In my case, I am in the 1,200 to 1,499 calorie range! That allows me 3 green (veggies) 2 purple (fruits), 4 Red (protein) 2 Yellow (starchy carbs) 1 Blue (nuts, ect) 1 Orange (nuts and dressings) 2 spoons (nut butters, olive oil). You are provided with a list of foods that you can eat that corresponds with each container. I love it because I can easily pick from each list and create a meal plan for the week. I love that the foods are listed in order of importance. So the higher on the list the foods are the more nutritionally sound they are! Of course you should have a variety of foods from the lists to give you variety of nutrients for your body. I am a plan it out type of girl so this works wonderfully. I have not been eating out of the containers, but I measure and pour onto my plate. Now I’m kinda getting use to amounts so I know about 3 chicken strips equal a red container, that approximately 5-8 strawberries will fit into a purple container, etc. Surprisingly each time I
