INSPIRED BY THIS SONG

Alright I heard this song and it has nothing to do with weight loss at all and it actually is the world cup soccer song from this last year BUT I was listening to the words in the beginning and it can be interpreted in many ways and many situations and mine interpretations is weight loss minus the part when they talk about Africa. But I listed my interpretation below and also the video to the song.

The song is called Waka Waka by Shakira here are the lyrics my interpretation is listed night to the lyric I left off the last few lines in the song but this is the only part that matters:

You're a good soldier     
Choosing your battles     
Pick yourself up           
And dust yourself off      
Get back in the saddle   

I am A solider because weight loss is a war not a walk in the park
I have to choose my battles everyday and do my best to over come them
If you ever fall off you have to pick yourself up you cant lay there defeated
Stand up and remember that you can over come anything
Get right back to doing what you have to do to change what you want to change.

You're on the front line   
Every one's watching     
You know it's serious      
We're getting closer         
This isn't over     
          
You cant sit back and wait for your turn to come it is your now!
Everyone you talk doesn't want to see you fail so all eyes are on us
Its time to get serious if I am truly ready  and I AM
Each day is a step closer to the goal
It isn't over now and never will be stand up for your life

The pressure is on
You feel it                      
But you've got it all         
Believe it                   

When you fall get up        
And if you fall get up     

Pressure from yourself from everyone around you who wants to see you succeed
You feel the strength growing inside you
You have everything you need the will power and strength
You have to believe it in order to obtain it
If you fall off track just get up Oh oh
If you fall off track just get upeh eh




Tsamina mina Zangalewa-This translated means Where do you come from-Stand up to who you are and who you want to be
Cuz this is Africa                                                
Tsamina mina eh eh-This translated means Come- Come on we can do it no matter what
Waka Waka eh eh-This translated means  Do it
Tsamina mina zangalewa-This translated means Where do you come from
This time for-Stand up to who you are and who you want to be
Cuz this is Africa          
                   
 Listen to your god     
This is our motto          
Your time to shine       
Don't wait in line             
Y vamos por Todo-This translated means We got it all


 Listen to your heart/god/ whoever you want it to be to help you
This lifestyle has to be your everything
 Its our time to make it work and to shine our brightest and move forward
There is no waiting it all about now about tomorrow or a week from now its NOW

People are raising           
Their expectations 
Go on and feed them  
This is your moment    
No hesitations    
        
Today's your day                                
You paved the way       
Believe it

After sometime you need to evaluate & raise your own expectations cuz your worth it
make anyone who ever said anything eat their words
 its our time to show them
no more waiting it is time now
Today is the start of a whole new lifeI feel it
We have started down a new road which we paved with our hopes and dreams
Believe it

If you get down
Get up, Oh oh
When you get down
Get up eh eh                     NEVER STAY DOWN ALWAYS GET BACK UP AND DO IT !!!

I hope this will inspire you too with my interpretations!!!

FELL OUT OF THE SADDLE BUT BACK ON THE HORSE

Hey I'm back ... I know I haven't posted in a little while but I had a crazy busy week and weekend. I'm finally over my cold..thank goodness... I did good with my food choices until Friday.

My husband went out of town and I called up my girls and we had an old school girls only slumber party! My food choices went right down hill. We had Chinese take out for dinner but I had white rice instead of fried and chicken instead of my usual lo mien and some wonton soup. So i did eat better then I usually do but still very bad. Then we had some drinks. I had 2 margaritas and then later we had ice cream. BLAH totally bad night. Saturday was ok until my girls and I went out to the bar to have some fun. I drank wayyyyy to much I cant remember half the night but I did have a blast dancing for hours but was completely hungover Sun and was craving everything bad. We went to this place for breakfast/lunch and I had soup and chicken parm. then a cheeseburger for dinner. I ended up throwing it all up from my hangover couldn't keep anything down. So yeahhhh BADDD weekend.

BUT yesterday morning I weighed myself and got so disgusted. Now back on track....and its on. I'm so done. I felt like crap all weekend and I want to just feel better and not feel sick all the time.

Why does this always happen

Ok peeps well I had no time to write yesterday..Sorry.. So I'm going to be posting my measurements in my new tab later today and also some really gross pictures of my in the the progress section. I wanted to start working out today and I got sick I cant breath and am coughing and sneezing like its my job. BUT this happens to me every time,WHYY, I wanted to start working out the first week of January and I came down with bronchitis and a sinus infection. I was told by the doc not to go outside for any longer then 15mins and not to do anything but rest. So I finally got over that a few days ago and started my blog all ready to start busting it out now im sick again. EVERY TIME!!

Eating hasn't been my best ever. Monday and Tuesday I did very well I ate oatmeal for breakfast and salad for lunch and seafood and veggies for dinner both days wellllll yesterday I did not so great. Breakfast I had a bowl of special K cereal over the serving size and lunch I had two donuts (one of our vendors brought a dozen donuts for us(there 3 of us in the office) and dinner My husband and I went to dinner at outback cuz he was leaving for a trip to Boston and I ate bad blooming onion salad with ranch bread and Alice spring chicken(cover in cheese and bacon) and a side of cheese fries. I have no idea why I do it I felt like crap all night sick to my stomach. Today I am right back on track oatmeal and turkey sandwich for lunch and turkey taco pitas for dinner YUM... As soon as I can walk up the stairs with out being out of breath from this cold I begin the workouts.

FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME

Hello people out there in computer land, My name is Heather! I'm 22 years old and I have decided to start a blog..obviously.. this is my first blog ever! So please bear with me. I'm starting this to help me along with my weight loss adventure, so its going to be all about my struggles and successes and day to day  life. I hope I can make it sorta exciting! So lets start at the beginning!! Well I have always been over weight since the 6-7th grade. I never remember my pant size being smaller then a size 9 (that was in 7th grade) I was a 126lbs in 7th grade and I was 5' UGHH right. I was blessed however to be well portioned. I gain weight all over not in one place so when I tell people how much I weigh I hear the same thing over and over again. "You can't weigh that much" I hate hearing that soooo much. It really bothers me! I should take it as a compliment but then I would just be giving myself a false view on reality and I think I did for a long time, I would think"Oh they think I weigh only this so I can gain weight and still be ok". Yeah NO.... When I was a senior in high school I was a size 11 pants and weighed 150lbs I was ok with that but during the summer after high school was over I lost 5lbs and was even happier....Right now on the other hand I weigh 190lbs people tell me no way you weigh more then 160lbs. I gained 45lbs in 4 years blahhh. Well what changed you may say well. I met my fiancee in college and he loved to eat out all the time and when say all the time I mean every meal of every day...His family never cooked they always ate out and when they did eat at home it was take out, pizza, Chinese, subway! He introduced me into many restaurants I had never eaten at and they are amazing. So much fatty foods in a short amount of time. So I don't blame him completely because I could have had more self control but I didn't. I was working out for awhile at first but then stopped and now I'm miserable!! I feel sick all the time and tired and just overall lazy. Now here is the more depressing part of my story! A few months ago I was doing great I lost 20lbs and was at 170lbs then I hurt my shoulder and was unable to work out then starting have fast food for lunch then before I knew it BAM back to 190 in a matter of 3-4 months. I'm so mad at myself ...I was there now I went in reverse!..So I think if I started this blog I can be held accountable for my actions and have a place to vent. I try to talk to my husband but he say he will help but he is more of an enabler and say hey lets go get wings or hey pizza sounds good. Then after were eating he says hey you should be eating this..RAHH well duh but this is where you wanted to go. I'm not going to go eat dinner by myself. Oh and BTW he is like a twig he eats whatever and doesn't gain a pound. Anyway now that I wrote a book. I will end today's post and come back tomorrow. Thanks for listening!!
