My life has been a hectic mess lately. I have been up & down & seen some of the worst of myself & felt as if my entire world was falling apart. Through it all I am getting up, wiping the dust off & going to come out stronger & better for it.
Part of that is with getting back on track with a healthy lifestyle and losing this weight. I have been bouncing all around 200lbs but not dropping it really. I got down to 185 when I started my job but bounced back up to 196 with bad diet choices.
I keep saying oh tomorrow I will do it & then I end up stuffing my face ugh.
Well last week i was shopping with my sister & saw this amazing beautiful little black dress. The type you dream of & imagine your skinny self wearing. It was on sale...75% off! It was a medium (!?@!???) but I tried it on & somehow I was able to get it on. I could not breathe, talk or move but eh those things are overrated lol
If I lose 20lbs I bet it would be great on me. It is right now my goal, my motivation. I want to wear that dress.
At the end of January my husband & i will be reunited (we separated but have worked things out) He hasn't seen me since May. I want to wear that dress & have his jaw hit the ground!
So I have this last week & a half of Oct, then Nov, Dec & Jan to lose at least 20lbs though I would kill for 30.
It is hard. (duh) I am working my first ever full time job in my entire life & I am on my feet the entire time. I come home & want to just pass out. My dog has been great motivation for me to walk & I have the cutest girliest bike ever that I love. But making time & sticking to it has been rough + getting in the proper amount for it to even burn anything.
I long to be a runner but fear has held me back & a huge goal of mine is to start running.
I would also really love to do more strength workouts, thinking of getting a kettlebell.
Food is the hardest. I have such a limited budget & have never had to think so much about money before so it is weird for me. i am going back to counting calories. I am giving up soda. I bought a brita water bottle & will make good use of it. My biggest goal is to knock out all this processed crap & fast food and just eat real food. Lots of veggies & fruit.
I am excited & happy and looking forward to wearing that little black dress soon.
