How many of us start things and then just stop?? How many new years resolutions have been just dropped. Forgotten. Trust me when I tell u I have been there. I have done it.
I have stopped and started diets so many times I loose count. One thing u couldn't call me was follow through.. well, in the last 9 months or so I have gotten better at it . No not anywhere near where I want to be. But I am definitely getting better. I have made myself commit to a stricter diet and I have also made myself commit to a 2 mile walk and a 30 min circuit of exercises that I do daily... Please know that this in no way is or has been easy because I will be the first to stay in bed and think no.. I watched a pretty cool chick the other day though that said. "If you have time to sit and think about how not to do it, You could have done it already ". So please y'all..Don't Dare stop. You got this... Get up and move.. anything is better than nothing.
I am in no way a professional and don't claim to be. Just sharing what has,worked and is working or isn't working for me and maybe touch someone somewhere...

Setbacks, Frustration. Don't Dare Give Up.

I Keep A Strict Schedule . 📆🗓
The biggest thing for me in the very beginning was timing myself of when you eat. I wasn't used to sitting down, stopping what I was doing to actually pay attention to my eating. I was a grab and go, some sort of junk snack and maybe actually eat a real meal for supper. That would be meal of some kind of fried, Southern casserole, drowned in butter fatty something. Well this is a whole new lifestyle change for me and now that I was set to a 1200 calorie a day diet, I had to plan meals, snacks, prep times and all of this. I was excited and couldn't wait to try. My OCD makes me a chart maker and a timer setter so that is exactly what I did. I have stated in a previous blog that if you are going to be a breakfast eater it needs to be within the first 3 hours of getting up in the morning. I chose a protein shake for breakfast and for lunch so that makes those two areas easy.
Check this out. Now I'm not saying that these are times you should use, these are just the ones that work best for me.
6am- breakfast shake
9am-high protein snack
12pm-lunch shake
3pm-afternoon high protein snack
6pm- high protein supper.
Now here is where I usually stopped. Ideally three hours later you're supposed to have one more snack that is high in protein. I'm usually early to bed so I don't eat that late. I've had people ask me what I use for snacks. Well that's a good question. I keep them higher in protein than carbs so I am always carrying something like beef jerkey, almonds, quest bar. Things of that nature. And I always have water with me.
I hope this is useful. Please feel free to leave comments on my blogs I love your feed back. I also appreciate the questions I have received so far. Please if you have something you want to know shoot me an email.

Weightloss Product Reviews.
I have had a couple of companies contact me about trying a product they sale to put on my blog. This excites me. I want to go over a couple of things though.
If you would like for me to consider your product as a rule I would need at least a 30 day supply because usually as a rule it takes at least 7 day for said product depending on what it is to enter your system.
I also will in now way invest money in a product for the sake of doing the review. Not even shipping. If you want me to try It I would love to but you will cover the cost.. I love trying new things and passing on my thoughts on the product... I am looking for products to review now..
I will review all weightloss products.
Protein shakes, if you have a pill or patch, if you have that magic product that will be my breakthrough please shoot me an email and I'll look it over.
