As you can see, I have officially renamed myself. After careful thought and consideration, I have decided on A Cup of Jo.
So whenever you feel like having a cup of Jo, just stop by and pay me a visit. Hopefully my post won't be so spaced out in the near future.
I am currently doing a fast, which calls for no solid foods on Wednesday. This will be every Wednesday until April 24, 2011. I thought that this was the worst thing that could have happened to me, but today wasn't so bad. I only got hungry once, and I survived. I was tempted to cheat but I said a little prayer and that temptation went away. Today was a true test. I am the type of person that usually gives into temptation, if I want it then I am going to get it, no questions asked. Today, I was so in control. I didn't devour the bag of Doritos like I wanted to or eat some fried chicken with okra. No I drunk my water, my smoothies, and ate my tomato broth/soup.
I am so proud of myself, Way to go Jo!!!!! 1 Wednesday down and I don't know how many more to go.

So, as of lately, I have been obsessed with working out, eating right, and losing weight. This started about two years ago. At my heaviest I was 154, 154 doesn't seem like a lot but on my 5'1 frame it is a lot. I will have to post a pic, but now. I have noticed that the only time I have stayed on it eating wise was when I was I was held accountable. Meaning when I had to check in for whatever weight loss challenge I committed myself to.
So I have decided that this year will be the year that I finally do it. Get to my goal weight and stay there. I have no problem exercising, its the eating part that I struggle with the most. I am going to start expressing myself more about the challenges I face here on my blog. Now this will not turn into a weight loss blog or anything like that but this blog will help me to get things off my chest, I will also let you guys know what I am doing, and what kind of food I eat. I will also check in with my weight from time to time. Just so you know, I weighed in this morning and it read 146.2. That 146.2 is a whole nother post.
So here's to a better me. Wish me luck guys.
I just realized that I started every paragraph with the word so, Funny.

Well 2010 has come to a close, and 2011 is here. I have to admit that I am excited about starting this new year. I honestly feel like good things are in store for me this year. My BFF made a comment like,"nothing changes in the new year, but its a good reason to start over." Its something like, sorry if I quoted you wrong. The point is I like what is stands for; my situation is not going to change over night but the new year gives me a reason to wipe my slate clean, work harder on my personal goals this year, and to just start anew.
