Ahh, I feel so gross. I'm only 5'1 and 143 pounds. I've never actually lost weight either. Maybe a pound or two here and there but I went from being 120, to 130, and now into the 140's....I don't like this trend!!
So it must stop and it will. My ultimate goal is to get down to 110, but I'd like to be at 125 by July 16. I leave for Florida and the beach. I've never gotten to wear a bikini and I rarely ever go swimming now. I make up excuses but I know that people know that I'm just self-conscious.
My problem is that when I do try to lose weight, I get frustrated after the first few days and seeing no results so I give up. I know seeing results after three days or a week is not realistic but I guess that's why I'm part of the microwave generation that just wants it all NOW.
So I'm going to run everyday. I have been for about the past week, except yesterday. And drink a lot of water. ...And no more snacking on junk food...snacking on healthy yummy food like greens and fruits. (I recently had pineapple for the first time. Yum!) I'm not going to restrict myself on meals...I will eat normal meals. I realize that while I am overweight a bit, I am not severely obese. I figure if I treat my body properly, it will react by being nice to me and munching up those 30 pounds.
My other problem is that I feel that I have too much muscle. I feel like I have bulky, muscular legs which I don't like. But hopefully if I lose the weight...my legs will tone down.
I have to do this for myself. I've let all this dead weight stack on the last few years. Time to make it go. Oh, and sorry for the ramble!
