I HAD DEFINITELY FELL OFF THE TRACK BUT I’M BACK AND “RUNNING” FULL SPEED AHEAD TO THE FINISH LINE!!!

I don’t know what this mental battle I’ve been dealing with for the past 2 months is, but it has got to go… It’s driving me crazy… It’s caused my progress to come to a complete stand still… I have goals that need to be met and WILL happen sometime this year!!!

So I planned on doing a whole lot to prepare for the week ahead…

But then my mom really hurt my feelings… She told me that she thinks I’m jealous of my younger sister. I was so upset that I wanted to punch her in her face but instead I finished straightening up my room and left. Thank God for a beautiful day. I took my dogs for a long 2 hour walk along the creek in my city. I have no idea how far it was but it really helped me calm down. I drowned out the world with Flyleaf on my Ipod as loud as I could stand it. Hopefully later tonight I’ll be in the mindset to prep my foods to cook tomorrow.

So the big question is “What has Leslie been doing???”… The answer is absolutely nothing but a whole lot. It all depends on what aspect of my life. My whole weight loss journey came to a huge halt. I lost all motivation and just stopped. I didn’t make a complete 180 but I was sure headed that way. I just became discouraged and stressed with the thought of not having certainty in my life. This caused me to dwindle into a mild state of depression. During this time I still managed to only gain about 2lbs. I still work at Victoria’s Secret, but now I also work at the Holiday Inn as a front desk agent. When I first started both jobs, I was really busy. I was putting in 60+ hours a week and getting 4-5 hours a sleep a night. I also had college courses. I had no energy to even think about working out or eating healthy. In the last week, I made changes to my schedule so now I don’t work as many hours at VS. This allows me more time to hit the gym and get some much needed sleep. I also made it to where I have Sundays off from both jobs so I can make this my meal prep day for the week. 
I’m so excited to be getting back on track. I know I am capable of anything I put my mind to which is why I refuse to continue to head down the path of destruction in this journey. I have some major inspiration in a fellow blogger: piecesinprogress. She is an amazing girl. You should definitely check her out if you have not already (http://piecesinprogress.tumblr.com). I will be using quite a few of her recipes and plans. 
And so it begins… Another chapter in my lifelong journey to happiness…

Long time no talk to. Happy New Year! I am in the process of reconstructing my life right now and decided to re-include all my followers in it. This is my first day off since the beginning of December so I am in the process of creating my meal and workout plan. I will share that with you as soon as it is finished. As soon as I get back into the swing of things I’ll also begin trying new recipes again. I’m excited. It’s a new year and my motto is “NO EXCUSES AND NO REGRETS”…

EXCUSES EXCUSES EXCUSES

Once again I found myself at rock bottom because of all the excuses I’ve been making… I’ve been making excuses for EVERYTHING in my life lately… It really sucks… I’m tired of all this mess… It’s about to be a new year and I’m still nowhere close to where I planned to be… This is so annoying… I can’t even blame anyone but myself… Things have got to change and they have to change NOW… Welcome Back Leslie… I hope you’re ready because excuses are no more…

Hello There…

Sorry I have not posted in like forever… I have been crazy tired lately… I actually started working at a daycare from 5am-1pm plus I also work Victoria’s Secret… It’s really taking my body some getting used to… So I definitely have not forgot about my lovely followers… I actually think about yall every time I don’t feel like working out or when I feel like eating fast food… I actually decided I most likely won’t be weighing myself this month also… I feel like I do so much better when I don’t… Also as soon as I get some major time, I’ll post some updated progress pictures… Well I hope all is well with you and your journey… Don’t give up… You’re closer than you think… If you need anything feel free to ask… I check my box daily just in case…

Peace and Happiness,

Leslie
