What Am I Doing?

Hi there. I decided to do a blog about my weight loss journey. I was on YouTube but I'm bored with YouTube and doing a blog entry takes way less time, plus I prefer blogs to vlogs!
So what am I doing? I'm losing weight. Trying my best to anyway!


I've been overweight for as long as I can remember and it only ever bothered me occasionally. I didn't dislike myself except sometimes at school in gym class or maybe recess. Even then I didn't care too much. Then High School came around and I started to care a little bit more about my body image. It wasn't until my Senior Year that I even tried to do anything about my weight, but I was too busy to do much about it and my weight still didn't bother me much.
That summer though, my friend and I were doing some dieting things and then when we were at university we worked out a few times at the gym. We ended up not having a lot of time for our work outs...
This year, I started to do more serious weight lossing (that's not a word). After a couple of months, I realized it was too hard to concentrate on both weight loss and my schooling. I made the decision to wait for Summer. It has been a month since my last exam and yet I've not made any progress. I've been crazy lazy.
I've been reading in bed a lot, which is not a bad thing but now I'm moving that activity to before I go to sleep, that way I'm not wasting time.
I own a Shake Weight and the goal with that is to make my flabby arms be less flabby and stronger. I plan to to my 6-minute Shake Weight routine (it comes with a DVD) in the morning, just to get it out of the way.
There is a video on YouTube that I had saved that is a pretty good workout (mostly abs and legs) and I'll be taking some of the exercises from it to do on a daily basis. Along with those exercises, I'll add in some that I learned in my weightlifting class in High School.
I have been pretty good about going for long walks, but I could/should be jogging (I don't like to jog because, honestly, my boobs bounce around too much).
Dieting is pretty easy seeing as I like the healthier foods! My mom is counting calories, and maybe I'll do that too.
Following will be a rough schedule of my days that I created:

• Feed pets (repeat after lunch)
• Morning Hygiene
• Shake Weight
• Core
• Cardio

Lame, I know. There are other things on my list but they don't relate to this entry (Shower, Whiten Teeth, Lotion, Reading, Ear Care (piercings), eyebrows).
I didn't put in times or meals because I have yet to get into a routine of when I wake up. I probably should start because it is always healthy to have a routine! I haven't decided if I should eat before or after I start any of the work out routines.
I know that eating breakfast is a good way to start the day and boost that metabolism, but I just really do not ever feel like eating when I wake up. I have to force down just toast. We have a lot of oatmeal so perhaps I'll start my day out right with some Quaker Oats!
I'm rather confused on everything I should do and when I should do it but I'm just going to jump into it.
My list isn't in a good order, I don't think. I think maybe I'll go for jogs in the morning. It just seems like a good idea to me - it wont be as hot!


My thoughts in this entry are rather jumbled, but that's alright.
Future entries will include what I have done all day, including what I've consumed.
Suggestions are always appreciated!
