escape from interstate 8

This is my struggle from being a 270lb food addict to the fit and healthy woman I've always wanted to be. I've battled with food addiction and obsession for too long, so I've finally began to kick the chip, soda and fast food life to the curb. I'm eating clean/paleo 95% of the time, exercising and doing yoga/meditation.

My second batch of zucchini chips since I got the dehydrator! Hot and spicy, salt and pepper, and barbecue flavored. Oh my god, they are fucking...

I started a new job on Monday. My fiancé just went into his first night of his new job. Definitely way out of my comfort zone, but you have to take risks to get the life you want.

I can’t wait until my little baby gets a little bigger. That’s the part I enjoy most.

I still haven’t told my parents and I don’t know when I will tell my bosses at my new job.

Lillian keeps saying she wants a sister, lol.

Kind of hard to lose weight if you’re pregnant. Is that even possible or a good thing?

Oh yeah. Surprise!

I’m going to start applying this to everyday life.

Lessons I’ve learned from yoga

everyfiredies:

1. Relax and breathe.
2. Even the most challenging situation will end eventually, so stay calm.
3. If it’s over, let it go.
4. If it’s not over, let it go anyway. Detach from negative situations and emotions.
5. Need support? Get some support. It doesn’t make you weak; it makes you stronger.
6. Don’t compare yourself to others.
7. Do what’s good for you.
8. Observe, but don’t judge.
9. Appreciate your body.
10. Relax and breathe.

Oh yeah.
Forgot to mention I picked up an 11$/hr job. I’m working three nights, third shift at my job I have right now and working 9 hour shifts Monday-Friday at this one starting Monday. I’m super nervous, but excited to be making that money.

But I don’t know when I’m going to have time for life.

Major update.

I’m back to where I began, but that’s okay. I’m not going to beat myself up for it anymore. There’s no point in doing that.
Instead, I’m going to focus on what’s going on now. I went to the doctor and my thyroid isn’t my problem. So now that I know that the thing that could be stopping me fro achieving my goals, isn’t… I need to work extra hard. But I am seriously lacking on Vitamin D and that supposedly has an affect on me and my weight. So I got put on prescription VD pills for two months when it should be normal and regulated. I also got put on Amitriptyline… Which sucks, but is good at the same time. I haven’t had a headache in a week. But I am super sleepy… And I also read online that this medication can make you gain weight for no reason.

But really, there are no excuses.
It’s just really time to turn my life around.
