So here’s a tip if your like the majority of the people in the world: SCREW THE DAMN ROUTINE!

Exercise?
So I’ve been getting a lot of questions towards my exercise plan. Well in all honesty, there has been no exercise plan. Now I’m not trying to say that you don’t need exercise to lose weight, but before you get all crazy and start becoming a gym rat, it’s best to assess how “fit” you are to exercise to begin with.
Many people do pilates their whole life, but...

First 5 Pounds GONE!
So how did I lose my first 5 pounds?
Background Info: I lost my first 5 pounds in a span of about 2 weeks
Winning Ways: The biggest change I made was my diet. I am ASIAN so I am very heavy with starch (rice and carbs) so while I didn’t cut it out (c’mon it’s my lifestyle!), I did significantly cut the portion of my carbs. I would only eat it at breakfast and lunch. Never for...

Food = GOOD!
It has come to my attention that food is always regarded as a “bad” thing. But please know that FOOD = GOOD! But too much of it = BAD! Many girls have a negative connotation about food, but remember that its where we get our energy from and what keeps us living! So, food = good IF you pick healthy choices or in healthy moderations.
Peace with food? :)

Are you TRULY hungry?
I got this image from ms surfnrunner and I thought that this was a very scale to determine whether we are really hungry or not. Often times, we declare and feel that we are hungry, but really it’s just ourselves convincing that we are. Hope this chart helps. Sure helped me :)

Procrastination
Probably one of the biggest fitness killers. You get caught up watching tv when you’re supposed to be exercising, or you get so into talking on the phone with your friends and you vow to exercise the next morning…but never does happen.
Yup, it happens to the best of us. I believe that these are some good tips to commit to exercising. Hopefully I can beat this procrastination problem...

Peachy Keen
girlwithcurves:
I believe that clothing should put you in a good mood, and after a stressful couple of days, it was time to put on a color that gave me those extra good-mood vibes, to get me through the rest of the weekend. (Even my hair hasn’t been cooperating lately, as you can see! lol).
What’s your go-to mood enhancing color?
Top: Forever 21
Skirt: Forever 21

Sharing a piece of me with you.
First off, I would just like to say that I am a real person with flaws. I am not doing this to please anybody or catch someone’s eye. Simply, I want to be healthy. As a nursing student, it will be tough to tell my patient that they need to lose weight, when I myself is bordering 210 pounds.
Goal: Weigh 150 pounds (my healthy range) by age 20.
Starting Point: 210 pounds. I am currently 18...
