Blogging La Veda Loca - Day 1-5

-

Introduction

This is my third year to VEDA (Video Every Day in April).
I struggled with think up of a concept for a while so I decided to peek in my journal to get inspiration.
Then I realized, my journal has plenty of content! 
So I decided to review my journal for my benefit and hopefully it will benefit you too because I will be recording the process. 
Maybe it'll even inspire you to start one of your own. 



Day 2

Roll with it - Shout out to Drake and Jake
My dedication and thoughts behind it. 
My initial page in my journal and thoughts behind it. 
My struggles with reading my own writing. 
Simple is fine in the beginning but don't stay there. 
With Change Comes Challenge



Day 3

Starting a gratitude journal inside my 20167 journal.
Muddling through my cryptic writings, remembering to expect future self to read it. 
How to Slay Dragons FB Group : https://www.facebook.com/groups/slaydragons/
The importance of nutrition vs exercise
The importance of quality over quantity



Day 4

Live from Roanoke TX
My daily gratitude
That time my ambitions included an ebook
What the heck was I eating in January?
You don't have to be a perfect journaler to journal.
Start where you are but don't stay there. 



Day 5

My voice may be gone but my passion remains.
Eating an arrow for lunch. How it filled me up. 
My plans for the day
My daily gratitude and riffs off it. 
Laughing at myself from 3 months ago.
Getting spiritual
Faith is a muscle you must exercise
Stealing wisdom from smart people

My Response to FitToFatToFit Episode 4 with Alex and Geoff

So I was watching Fit to Fat to Fat Ep 4 today and I got to admit. In the beginning I did not like the trainer. He embodied the stereotype of why I didn't get into fitness. Or that's the story I tell myself. Alexander Delacruz is a weight loss dietitian from Los Angeles and man alive, he put me off immediately. I mean, I've seen 3 of the shows so far and I love the series but I was about to turn the TV off and go do something more productive with my life instead of listening to this jerk.

Fighting Frustrations

-
I got frustrated last week because I wasn't as flexible as I wanted to be. I mean, it's only been 36 years of me trying not to stretch, why can't a perfect it in 2 weeks, right? Ridiculous, right? I laughed it off until I realize I do it all the time. I remember, I spent years tying to perfect a way to quit smoking. Guess what? The right conditions never fell into place. The puzzle never solved itself for me. Outside Half Priced Books, I scrambled to get far enough away from my 9 month boy, John to light a cigarette. When I did, he reached up his read to see where I was and what I was doing, then frowned a heartbreaking frown. It was that moment when the distance between where I was and where I wanted to be became too painful. there, I decided to take my first imperfect step to quit. Guess what? I didn't get it right the first time. I stumbled and immediately reached again for a cigarette. Many times I did this on my imperfect journey quitting. But in the end, gi...

Rocket Science

You don't need to know Rocket Science to lose weight. Of course, it helps to become knowledgeable in nutrition if you want to go far. But if you're just looking to lose 20 pounds, it's pretty easy. Eat Less Do More ZenHabit's summed it up even better in this article . A diet is healthy when it: gives your body nutrients it needs, without giving you too many calories (too many calories leads to obesity over time), or unhealthy things (like too much saturated or trans fat, nitrates, excess sodium, unhealthy chemicals). It's that easy... in the beginning. Of course the next natural questions are How many calories should I consume daily? What nutrients do my body need? Great news! There are apps for that. I use MyFitnessPal. Another great one is LoseIt. They are both free and help you track calories and nutrients. Of course, they only work if you use them.
