Loose that weight already

When you want to loose weight there really truly is only one way. Consume fewer calories then you are burning. there are so so many diets out there that promise to tell you the right stuff to eat and yes its easier if you don't eat only pizza and no veggies or water but the fact is that if you only consume 1500 calories of pizza that whole day and you burned 2200 calories you did burn off a little bit of weight. but this road is discouraging to most because it takes so very long to see any difference. If you add in a little bit more exercise you could bump up those burned calories to maybe 3000 a day keep in mind that most women burn 1500-1700 just sitting on there bums all day and for men its around 2000. so 3000 is a easily obtainable number. walk down the street to get your lunch instead of driving that burned a few more. If you really want to get those numbers correct get a exercise app like noom. it lets you break down your food to better figure out the calories and you can track your calories burned as well. having to log it is proven to help people not eat it. If you don't want to get technical about it just keep a food journal and write every EVERY thing that you eat. Make sure you drink lots of water you can't flush out and toxins or fat if there is not water to flush it.
Try to eat better you will develop a taste for veggies. eat stuff like cinnamon and cayenne there suppose to cause a thermogenic burn that heats up your body and burns more calories. I drink lots of black coffee but some say caffeine is worse for your weight loss I just know that it keeps me going and so I am burning more calories then sitting on my butt. try simple exercises at the work desk there are lots to do with your legs. that way your not just on your bum all day. every fifteen minutes get up and walk. use the stairs instead of the elevator or only use the elevator up to the floor below yours then walk. PORTION CONTROL. You do not need a pizza to yourself you only need one slice yes one slice you can also have a salad on the side with vinaigrette or salt and pepper NO RANCH. READ LABELS. Try to buy things with the least amount of ingredients and ones that you can pronounce. Adding one or more of these things into your everyday routine should help you see the scale start to go down in about a week. yea I know a whole week. Want to see it move faster? Burn those calories baby exercise every single chance you get every single day. eat carbs only in the morning and 15 min before a big exercise routine. eat protein at every meal even if it comes from beans for you vegetarians out there. don't eat less then 1200 calories in a day and don't eat more then 1500 for a women and 1900 for a man. tell your self you are skinny and get motivated. believe that the weight will come off. pray to who ever you believe in to give you the strength to resist that extra serving. FOOD IS FUEL It is not comfort, it is not luxury, it is not to taste yummy it is for your body to function properly and you should only put into it what is going to help it do that. 

Meteor shower

On the 12th of August every year there is a meteor shower. This day also happens to be my wedding anniversary. so finally this year for the first time I got to lay out in the yard with my husband and watch the night sky. Our little boy snuggled into the covers with us and watched as well. I have to say it was probably the best anniversary i have had. There has always been a reason why we have never been able to watch the sky before, full moon, cloud covered, husband had to work that night, ect ect. But i am very happy that we got to this time. we did see alot of smaller and dimmer meteors but we also got to see one very bright very large very spectacular one as well. we only laid out for about a hour but that was enough.
