Right now I'm almost a week into fullfilling my New Years resolution - get fit in six weeks! I'm very excited for this - and I hope to see some improvements by mid-February.
Growing up, I was never concerned about my weight. I was never super skinny, but I had the childhood advantage of eating whatever I wanted and never gaining anything. When I hit fourteen, I started to gain weight, andended up being about 5'5 and 135 pounds. That's not an insane amount, but I felt very self conscious and did the whole 'I think I'll wear baggy clothes so nobody knows!'. Before grade eleven, I decided that I was going to make a change to my lifestyle, so for an entire summer I went vegan, and completely cut out refined white sugar from my diet. I never deprived myself of food, but I sure learned to appreciate a lot of things I hadn't liked before (mainly veggies!) I combined that with lots of time spent outdoors, doing yard work, going to the beach and hiking around with friends, and I ended up losing fifteen pounds.
In the following year, I starting doing dance class at school, and five days a week, I got a fantastic workout. I was in really great shape, I ate really well, and I felt great.
After I graduated, I got a job and moved out of my parents house and all my energy went to my new lifestyle. I stopped working out as much, I started snacking on all sorts of unhealthy food, and my all my hard work was lost!
Right now I'm 125 pounds - which doesn't seem like I gained much, but I'm mostly just lacking in a toned body. In the next few weeks, I want to regain an active lifestyle, and eating better.
Age: 19
Height: 5'6 1/2
Current Weight: 125
Target Weight: 115
Measurements:
Bust: 35"
Waist: 27"
Hips: 37"
I'm going to post some pictures tonight so I can really keep track of how I look in the beginning - and how I look six weeks from now!
I've never been a really big over-eater, so I'm not really going to be counting calories. Basically, what I've done is filled my cupboards with only healthy food - fruits and veggies and whole grains and soy things, so whatever I eat...it's basically a good thing!
Wish me luck!
