Hi everyone!! I am so sorry I have been MIA, like I said, I was sick. I wan't in the right frame of mind to do anything :)
Here are some of the things I have been up to...
Ok, so I have been updating my other vlog, Elegant Sunshine a little, about my journey to get my home in order.
I also updated my vlog yesterday It is Chapter 5 of Breaking Dawn. I love making these videos because I feel like they are not only funny, but they leave you wanting more and I love that, some people only watch the Breaking Dawn vids, and some watch all my vids, but not the Breaking Dawn ones. It is totally a matter of opinion. So if you want check it out, and if you like it please subscribe, comment and rate it. I just love hearing from everyone :)
Also, if you are on twitter you can find me @justbeve
Ok that is all, have a great day and I will see you tomorrow!
Thanks for reading! Make sure you comment!

Workout
I didn't workout again today : ( Although I do feel like it is going to be possible tomorrow, guess I will have to wait and see really. As of this very moment, typing this I am going to, but I will decide for sure when I wake up. I really need to get back out there!!
Food journal
11:00 McDonalds : (
3:00 Pizza
8:00 Small bowl of rice, string cheese, and carrots.
I woke up at 8:30 this morning so I missed my goal by 1/2 hour, but I got thrown off because my little brother needed a ride somewhere. What can you do? Just have to keep going.
Also I watched the documentary Food Inc. and I don't plan on eating ever again so that solves the whole eating thing : ( Seriously though, you should so watch it!! I am amazed by the stuff they talk about. It is all stuff I know basically and I am still freaked out about it!!3
I also decided to put of Measurement Monday until the 1st, so I can have better returns. I also don't want to obsess over the numbers you know?

It's Sunday!! New Food Goals and my Journal for 17 Oct 2010
It's Sunday!!
I have like 5 minutes to write this and post it before it is a day late!!
Ok so going through the the journals I am going to add the following goals to the two I already have.
First, No eating something 2 days in a row. I have A LOT of repeats in the journal and that is not a good way to cover your nutrient bases! However, I do always have leftovers as I am cooking for one here : ( So I have to be able to repeat sometimes, hence the 2 day rule.
Second, Eat a breakfast within two hours of waking up. On days when I eat earlier, I tend to eat more meals. When I wait 4 or 5 hours like I did yesterday and today, I eat way more junk, and only one or two huge meals!
So there are the new goals. I will continue the new goals as well, obviously.
Food Journal.
It was a bad day today. I hung out with my dad all day and only ate one meal. Pizza. I also ate some snacks that were bad. Tomorrow is another day, and Measurement Monday! So that should be fun : )

Workout
Another day with no workout! Still feeling a little sub par, but I think that a good night's sleep, and I will wake up ready to go! Fingers crossed! I feel better today then I did yesterday, but still a little... blah!
Food Journal
2:30 Pizza
9:00 Burrito
Major setback today! The above shows a complete lack of planning and discipline. I was bad, what can I say. It is reminiscent of day one huh? Well, on this journey I refuse to beat myself up, I will just wake up tomorrow and try to have a good day, not letting a few setbacks during week one throw me off!
Tomorrow is Sunday so I will be writing a post on food goals as well as a journal. Then it is Measurement Monday : ]

Workout
Week 2 Day 2 of the Couch to 5k. It was hard, I am having a hard time doing the last two intervals of the set. I think I will extend the week. I will do w2 for another week. I don't think I should move on when I can't actually do the stuff I am supposed to be doing. The run hurt, but it is a beautiful time of day to run and I am glad I have some time in the sun for that good old vitamin D!
Food Journal
9:00 HB egg, small banana, string cheese with water.
12:00 Encilladas with Rice (left overs yum!)
7:30 Bean and Cheese Burrito
Still not the best, but for two days in a row I have meet both of my goals for the week! Yay go me! I only ate a few snacks too, one was candy but the others were buts and string cheese!
K see you guys tomorrow when I do Bodyrock.tv and hopefully don't die from it!!

Workout
Wednesdays are free days!! Man I love Wednesdays! I am uber-sore from the bodyrock.tv workout today so it isn't like a totally free day. I guess that is something I will have to get used to on this journey. It isn't so bad, at least I know I am actually working on it it I am sore right?
Food Journal
12:00 HB egg and a small banana
3:00 #3 at In and out with diet coke
8:00 enchiladas with rice. w/diet pepsi
Snacks - lots, my dad's house is just a terrible environment for me food wise, they always have candies and junk food there. I am going to have to work on taking snacks or avoiding the ones they have there.
Water - 2 glasses about 16 oz total : (
Other thoughts
So the way I plan to change my eating is to set a goal each week, during that week, conquer whatever goal that is and never allow myself to go back. I am writing them on a paper on my fridge so I can remember the habits I have already set. This weeks goal is to eat more then 2 meals a day and eat at least one fruit or veggie a day. Something I did actually accomplish today! Yesterday I had the veggies but still only had two meals. Every Sunday I will look at the past weeks food journal and figure out something I need to change. The goal for this week was very obvious after the first day! I hope that by changing slowly and sticking to the changes, they will be more like habits and less like rules holding me back. I really am going for lifestyle changes here in the food department and if I change to suddenly I will end up reverting as soon as I can. Slow and steady are the ways I plan on winning or I guess losing. So if you want to change your eating to, let me know your goal from your journal. Or follow my goals. I am going to post them in the side bar so you can see which habits I have embraced!

Blog everyday Till 2011!
Hey guys,
One of my big goals that I discussed in my first vlog is weight loss. I usually have a hard time with motivation. It is so much easier to go to McDonald's then cook myself a healthy meal. It's too easy to say I will eat well tomorrow, or exercise later. So in order to MAKE myself be good, I have decided to blog here every single day for the rest of the year about what I hope is my amazing weight loss journey. So, here is how it is going to work. Everyday I will post the workout I did that day, my food journal (it is scary!). On what I have dubbed Measurement Monday, I will weigh and measure myself and post the results.
I would love for anyone who is interested to join me! The way I am going to post my measurements is not in actual numbers. I have weighed myself and measured myself and wrote it down I will report it on a + or - scale. So right now my numbers are all at 0. I will put losses in green and gains in red. Here is hoping for no red!! Nothing worse then gaining while trying to lose. I will also be describing how I feel and hardships I face.
My goal is to use this public platform to keep my motivation and actually accomplish this goal! If on January 1st I have only lost two pounds I will still consider it a win!.
Ok now the plan. You may think it is to much but I am committing to two very different workouts. One is running and one is a high intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts. The reason is, the HIIT suggests active rest on the off days which include jogging. So here is the planned schedule.
Monday: Jogging
Tuesday: Bodyrock
Wednesday: Complete off day
Thursday: Jogging
Friday:Bodyrock
Saturday: Joggong
Sunday: Bodyrock
So what is Bodyrock? What do I mean by jogging? Well...
Bodyrock is an online fitness trainer that posts HIIT workouts. They are super intense, short, require no equipment and she is obviously doing something right! You can find them here: www.bodyrock.tv I will doing the workouts, one day after she posts them so, for example on Tuesdays, I will do the HIIT workout she posts on Monday. The workouts are usually only 12-20 minutes and they kick you butt in a good way. If you are interested in doing these with me, you may want to look into the gymboss interval timer app that is available on iPhone, she uses on and it is vital... and free!
For jogging, I am going to follow Cool Running's Couch to 5k plan. It is a plan that gets you running. I am on week 2 right now. It is only 3 times a week and although I hate it while I am doing it, after I feel great. I know I will get better at jogging. My sissy and I are planning on actually trying a 5K so that is something exciting to look forward to!! You can find the plan here: Couch to 5K
As far as eating, right now I am going to just try to make better choices and slowly get myself to eat better. I am a big fan of Michael Pollen and his book Food Rules so I am going to try to follow those where I can. Making the transition from Junk Food Junkie to healthy eater is going to be a long painful process and I can't promise that I will do well at all. I can promise that I am going to give it my all. So if you want to join me on this journey, please do, if not, Look back on 1/1/2011 and my social commentary blogs will return!

If you do, today is Measurement Monday and that means that you need to weigh yourself and measure yourself using this:
- Bust: Measure around the chest right at the nipple line, but don't pull the tape too tight.
- Chest: Measure just under your bust
- Waist: Measure a half-inch above your belly button or at the smallest part of your waist
- Hips: Place tape measure around the biggest part of your hips
- Thighs: Measure around the biggest part of each thigh
- Upper arm: Measure around the largest part of each arm above the elbow
Which I got from:http://exercise.about.com/od/weightloss/a/weightlosstrack_2.htm
I am also going to track my BMI using the following link:
Ok that is all! Here is my Measurement Monday, should be more interesting next week!
Measurement Monday!!
Weight: 0
BMI: 0
Bust: 0
Chest: 0
Waist: 0
Hips: 0
Thighs: 0
Upper Arms: 0
Have a great day, I will post my food journal tonight!
