In a nuttshell, I've been hitting a pretty rough patch for the past few years emotionally. I've never been over weight, but if I don't take control of my life now there's no telling how fast I'll lose control of my body.
In May I woke up and smelled the coffee. I started cutting down on sugar & started to run at night. I also got myself a job that requires me to be up on my feet tending to costumers as a sales rep. and as a cashier. Before this 'awakening' of sorts, I'd send countless hours in bed on the internet being a nerd. I'd neglect friends and family and jut sit there being a loner.
I've had enough with being so boring!
From now on I will be out going. I will eat healthier, exercise weekly and stick to a regular sleeping schedule.
Out with the old, in with the new!
I am a little over 5"3 and must weight around 125. (I haven't weighed myself since christmas)
A day in the life of 'me' would consist of:
-Waking up at 10:00 am, eating a toasted sesame-seed bagel with butter & cream cheese, along with a glass of orange juice.
-Walking, doing errands in the city OR sitting in bed at home doing nothing.
-Snacking on a peanut butter & chocolate granolla bar, 5 cookies of the 'terrible sugar' variety.
-Coming home, or being home already to eat supper around 6:00 pm.
-Snacking on sugar some more.
-Going to bed at midnight-1:00 am.
I've never had a healthy diet, as can be seen. I hardly eat enough in the morning and when supper would come along, I'd end up binging and just eating a giant portion... which my stomach would regret afterwards (stomach pains). Desert would be pretty over the top sometimes, too. I guess all the weight gaining is thanks to my starving myself (unwillingly) in the morning and then going crazy at night?
I drink a LOT of water, though.
Anywho, as discussed earlier, i want to be a better person mentally and physically. I don't want my bad eating habbits to turn against me and to eventually, destroy me. I want to start eating properly but healthily. I've realized that I am almost affraid of eating normal meals, affraid of gaining weight by eating more than I already do. I need to breach this fear. I want a healthy breakfast, a healthy snack, a healthy dinner and a healthy supper.
As of today, this is what my body looks like. I have much work to do on my stomach and on my thighs. My new diet still consists of bageld in the morning (which I will NEVER part from, they are my religion) however I now have a:
Peanut butter & jelly sandwhich for lunch at work, along with an apple and a little sugar. Then i come home and eat supper, avoiding desert.
I run for about 10-15 minutes without stopping (for now, eventually this will progress into longer distances of course) and stretch beforehand. I used to do sit ups and push ups every night for 3 months but ended a month ago.
I ought to get back into that.
Sorry if my post is a little incoherent, I've never been much with sticking to an outline.
Judging by what I've given you, if any of you are interested in helping me whip myself back into shape by giving me pointers, I will be extremely thankful!
I plan on posting updates on my progress minimum once a month, this will be my thread. Feel free give any input.
Thank you for reading
