Hi everyone! i'm becky and after years of tricking myself into exercising... i woke up today with a desperate need to get moving.
I'm 28 and after a slow but steady effort since April of 05, I'm 51 lbs smaller.
I developed a new love for food that prevents me from cramming bad food down my throat at breakneck speeds... why shove junk down my throat and take up stomach room i reserved for the reaaaallllyyyyy yummy recipes i've come across in the past 2 years ya know?
i like sports but havent played in years... i was a cheerleader as well as played softball and briefly attempted lacrosse in college (bad move.. but i did stop smoking cold turkey after ONE practice with the team:yelrotflmao
most of my prev. exercising was walking around the neighborhood as well as zoos, parks, in the city, etc etc etc and at the beginning of the year i started taking belly dance lessons.
i have a pretty stressful and demanding life these days so finding any time to myself is just about impossible.
my frame/stats are as follows:
5'4"
145lbs
a solid athletic-ish build (big old football player shoulders -thanks dad-, thick, muscular legs, wide hips, no butt -i'm polish-)
my ultimate goal is to have a steady exercise routine in place that pushes me physically, helps me relieve stress, & makes my butt bigger without shrinking my boobs.
tightening up everything would be a nice result as well, but i'm not looking to have washboard abs or be cut and ripped 24/7. i like curves, i like some softness and femininity to me.
i'm not a runner by any stretch of the imagination, but for some reason today i have this desire to start running until i am good at it. (gals on the board... where can i get the strongest sports bra ever invented? i'm talking steel-reinforced here.)
i dont know if it's relevant, but i've been attempting to wean myself off of diet coke. I'm so addicted to it, it's not even funny. If i donated blood, my blood would have a warning for phenylketonurics on the front. I'm down to 3 a day this week... next week 2.... if i can get down to 1 or none, i'll be very pleased. i am always super exhausted and stressed... since i cant change my situation for the next few months, i'm taking out the caffeine as i seem to be looking older and more tired everyday. yikes.
ok.. that's about it i think.
