My Monday morning didn't start off too well, my alarm clock didn't go off therefore i was late for work and couldn't eat breakfast. Great start to my weight loss journey! There are constantly roadblocks in this but we need to learn to overcome what gets thrown at us. So here is my food and exercise journals for Day #1.
Snack - 10:30am - ALLMAX CLA capsule, 1 medium banana
Lunch - 12:30pm - ALLMAX CLA capsule, Ham sandwich (2pcs whole wheat bread, 3 pcs of sliced deli meat, mayo, mustard, and 1 slice of cheddar cheese)
Snack - 3:00pm - Single serving size of rice pudding
Supper - 6:00pm -ALLMAX CLA capsule, nachos, cheese, tomatoes, green onions, salsa (loaded on the veggies)
Snack - 11:30pm - 2 pcs ham, mustard, cheese
I don't have any drinks written down, but I drink plenty of water. I bought a one litre refillable bottle and fill that probably 3 times a day, so getting fluids into me isn't a hard thing to follow. However drinking enough water is very important.
As for my workout today, my DVD player wasn't working properly so instead of doing my Slim in 6 video I wanted to try again, I ended up playing on the WII FIT. For the WII FIT I did free step for 1 hour (2x30 minute sessions) for a total of 6862 steps. Believe me, that worked up a sweat, it also says it burnt approximately 300 calories! I also found some different videos on youtube, i may try those one day.
So here is Day #1 down, 89 more to go. I know there are things that could have or should have been changed to have better eating habits, but each day is always a learning experience and we can always try harder the next day.
See you all tomorrow!

Goals & Supplements
Today is Monday, so it's back to work for me. I work in retail so I'm constantly on my feet for my 8-9 hours a day. So I do get a pretty good workout while I'm there. I've always been a bigger girl but while I was at a call center, I went up to my highest weight of 219lbs. I am now down to 202.8 and a size 15 pants, however my goal is to reach between 150 to 160. I know that it's not realistic to lose that amount of weight in 90 days, but the 90 days is just a time frame to get started within. I know I will have to work hard, but I am more than up for the challenge this time. Goals are important to make, that way you know where you want to be and just need to pave a path to it.
I have been going back and forth as to whether I should take a supplement to give me an edge on my weight and fat loss and I have decided to go ahead with it. I have decided to take CLA capsules from ALLMAX Nutrition. CLA capsules are some of the only ones I've heard any shred of evidence with helping you achieve your goals. CLA capsules are meant to help reduce body fat, improve body shape and reduce hunger. If all their claims turn out to be correct, this would be a wonderful supplement to use. One bottle is a 30 day supply, I will use those and then decide from there as to whether I will continue for the entire 90 days or stop the pills after the 30 days. The directions for use on the package as well as their website states that you should take 1 pill, 3 times daily, immediately before each meal. I will follow that as directed and weigh myself on a weekly basis to let you know how everything is progressing.
I have done my BMI (body mass index) and gotten my results back. For those of you who aren't familiar with BMI, it calculates your height and weight, it tells you where you are and where you should be. I am 5 foot 7 and 202.8 lbs, that puts me in at 31.8 on the scale. A healthy range should be 18.5 to 24.9. That puts me in the obese category which can lead to serious complications with my health. I am aiming for mid-range because I know that due to bone mass and muscle mass that the results may not be entirely accurate. This gives me a point to jump off and aim for.
Let's see how my day goes.

New Year's Resolution? Not this time!
Hi everyone! I am a 25 year old female who decided it's time to try one more time at this thing called weight loss. I'm embarking on this journey two weeks before the holidays, so I'm not quite sure what my results will be like within that time frame. I was looking forward to starting after the holidays, however I did not want this to be a New Year's Resolution. Weight loss has always been a New Year's Resolution of mine and year after year I've failed at doing what I set out to do until this point.
I have various workout videos that I will be doing on a daily basis over the next 90 days. I will let you know which ones I am using as well as what I do for workouts on the WII FIT. I'm not sure how accurate the counts are on the WII FIT, but its fun and it does make you break a sweat. Either way, I will document everything I do, so if it works we will all know how I got there and you can try it as well. I decided to blog this so I can get feedback and maybe even some new ideas along the way. I just wanted to let everyone know in advance that I am not a nutritionist or a personal trainer. What I am doing on here is purely here say from friends and from online bloggers. So here goes, let's start the first day of my 90 day transformation.
