12 week Diet and Exercise program (Week 1)

Day-4

Whhyyyy meee? Today was the worst day thus far. No, I didn't exercise and I didn't eat healthy either. It feels like once you eat bad you just feel worse about everything. I noticed that when I ate all those bad things today I was more irritable, angry and felt really weak and sad. It must be true that you are what you eat because all that fried food and candy just took a toll on my emotions and body. I have no idea how I am going to bounce back after a day like this. I don't feel motivated to continue.

This is what I ate in no particular order.

• at least 5 bags of chips
• a large soda
• MC Donald's spicy chicken sandwich
• french fries
• pumpkin seeds

That's all I can remember at the moment. Even my memory feels worse.

Note to self: 

• Whenever you start a fast make sure your house is equipped with everything necessary to make it possible. Water, Juices, Teas, etc. Try making them in advance if you have to.

• If you want to eat healthy always stock your refrigerator with everything you need to make eating out less likely. Keep a good stock of fruits, veggies and onions. Freeze and buy in bulk your meats and also pre-cut things and put into baggies to eliminate extra time in the kitchen.

• Get your family involved in working out. Include your children and encourage them to eat healthy by making games and have them help you cut and make healthy meals. 

Let's just hope I get some rest and recoup from today's fail. We all fall but we must get back up! ASAP!

Week 1- Day 3 

    Today was not the best of days at all. I woke up all tired and sluggish, not to mention cranky. It was starting to be a very bad day. I didn't feel like exercising and I was a little bit sore from trying to keep up with the workout from yesterday. Luckily I fought through it and it felt good too. I did the warm up exercise on Youtube the Keaira LaShae Mobility workout which made me wake up for the next 10mins in order to get the Blender buster videos done. YAY ME! I almost gave in and didn't do it but I overcame the odds lol. Note to self: I have to remember to breathe while working out. For some strange reason I always hold my breath..I'm going to have to change that quickly.
  I almost forgot I was supposed to be doing a liquid fast today. Bananas and sweet potato chip never looked so good! But I did good. I just have to remember to drink more water especially since I am nursing my baby right now, it is important to stay hydrated.

• Breakfast- Water and Bee immune (black seed honey mixed with bee propolis)

• Lunch- Orange Carrot Juice

• Snack- More water

• Before dinner snack- Take out chicken sandwich and chips

• Dinner- Fried fish and rice

I really need to be more prepared when I fast. I noticed that I got dehydrated and completely went left after my fast was over at sundown. In order for me to eat right I need to surround myself with good things to eat and this was not the case today. Clearly fasting didn't benefit me this time because I went backwards after it was done.

Living with Myasthenia Gravis

Life with Myasthenia Gravis

    I know some of you all are wondering what in the world is myasthenia gravis? And am I pronouncing it right? (LOL) Myasthenia gravis is one of many autoimmune diseases but its very rare. This particular disease effects the receptors that transmit what you tell your body to do and it doesn't get to the brain because my body is attacking itself. It is very similar to lupus except there is no pain but all of my muscles become very weak and almost inactive.

Week 1-Day 2

          Got up this morning feeling good about myself. I was very pleased with the fact I finally took the first step to exercise and it felt great. This morning I switched it up and found some zumba exercises on youtube. I did a 20 minute reggae workout with a 10 minute warm up. It sure was a lot of fun but it showed me that I definitely ain't got it like I used to when I was younger so it motivated me to step my game up. Who knew 27
