Weight loss/Weigh In Wednesdays



Hey guys! I'm officially starting a new series on my youtube channel LifestyleGlamoration called Weight loss Wednesdays!  This is going to be my journey on creating a healthier lifestyle for my self and will include weigh ins and tips.  The first video features a free app I'm using to keep track of my daily calories and it reminds me of a food journal.  The app and website is called Lose It!   I love it because you can search for foods that you ate at a restaurant as well as scan the bar code of the food you're eating and the info will pop right up!

Here's my first video for Weigh loss Wednesdays!


Food Friday: Trader Joes Haul


Today's Food Friday is a recent food haul from when I went to Trader Joe's.  In 2012 I am trying to lose 20 lbs by the time I turn 21 (Video and blog post about it will be up soon!)  Doing so, I need to stock up on healthy food so I went to Trader Joe's. I love their selection of food and many of the items are less expensive than buying big name brands at other grocery stores.  They always have interesting things and I usually end up always buying something I'm happy with!  What's your favorite Trader Joe's food item?




Getting Back on Track to a Healthier Lifestyle.



This semester,  I've been stretched super thin.  Every day I have something going on.  Monday through Thursday I have classes and being a teacher's assistant.  Friday through Sunday I have work.  Somehow I manage to keep my grades up, and complete my homework.  I'll also admit that I'm a procrastinator and for most the of the time, wait for the last minute to do things.  I know I'll say on my videos not to do it and when I give studying tips not to do it, but I do.  I suppose procrastinating has become a habit at times... a bad one.
 
Since my freshman year I've gained weight.  I went from being happy with my body, healthy and enjoying the gym, to unhappy with my body and no time for the gym.  I try to make healthier decisions while eating, just sometimes being on the go constantly, it isn't easy to do.  I'm lucky that every night I always have a nutritious dinner, usually starting with a big delicious salad (thanks mom!)

 During the summer of my senior year and right before starting college was when I was my healthiest.  I went to the gym several times a week, ate healthy, managed my time and was having a blast.  I'm determined to get back into that routine and back on track.  I actually miss going to the gym and of course miss having time for myself.  

Starting next week, I'm going to join Weight Watchers.  This will help me especially so when I'm on the go I can prepare foods that will work with the points I'm allowed.  I love my vegetables and fruits so I can't wait to try some awesome new recipes!  Once I start Weight Watchers I'll let you all know so I can share my initials thoughts and share my journey with it!

My schedule next semester is much better than the one I currently have, so I'll have time to go to the gym and attend WW weigh ins.  Next year I'm turning 21, and I want my 20s to be the best time of my life.  Especially 21 (hellllo nights on the town!) haha so I hope you all will join me on the journey to getting back on track to a healthier lifestyle!
