BIG NEWS & Update

As I sit here taking my lunch break at work, munching on Cool Ranch Doritos (shame shame).....it has dawned on me that A.) I have been completely neglectful of this blog and B.) I am not adhering to what I set out to accomplish here. 

First things first....the BIG NEWS.....I am now engaged =) =) =) =)  We have set a date of September 27, 2014.  And now that we have a date, I have more motivation and more of a goal to work for.  I also found out my 10 year high school reunion will be coming up in the summer of 2013, which helps to give me a short term goal as well. 

I still have another year and half of school left, which on top of my full time job, really doesn't leave me much time for myself and working out and everything else I want or need to do.  I haven't really been watching my diet or working out since I last posted....and still feel rubbish with myself.  I always feel like I need a little buddy...always there to keep me on track but I am coming to realize that only exists in a perfect world.  WAKE UP JACQUE....this world we live in is NOT perfect and I am going to have to really dig deep to find the things I have lost like self control and restraint.

On a positive note, I have cut out pop, energy drinks, coffee, and teas with caffeine in them.  It was hard and I dealt with several days worth of headaches and withdrawal, but I eventually over came those things and I have been drinking plenty more water now.  If I could just get my fiance on board with the healthy eating I would really be making strides in the right direction.  But he is somewhat of a road block.  He LOVES his pop, sweets, fast food, greasy, salty, and just all unhealthy things.  I try and moderate my portion size when I cook or I try to make stuff for myself aside from his foods sometimes (depending on what he is eating).  But that becomes too much work, a pain in the you know what, and quite expensive.  I am trying to educate myself more and try and get him on board every once in awhile to try new (healthy) food choices and options with me.  One step at a time....

This semester will be over in the next 2-3 weeks and my schedule next semester is more open, which will give me the time I need to do what I want to do.  Fingers crossed I can continue to post things here on a regular basis, start motivating and education others as I am learning new things myself, and hopefully strike a cord with someone out there and inspire them to take the first steps to kicking the fat in their lives so they can live a healthier lifestyle. 

Thanks for reading,

Jacque xoxo
