Beccas

My goal is not necessarily about vanity (well, maybe a little), but it’s more about being comfortable with myself. In the last year I was not taking care of myself as I should have been, and the weight slowly crept up on me, where I was not fitting into a lot my clothing. I noticed this change around the holidays, but did not become active about it until recently, I just kept putting it off. But, after wearing the same 2 pairs of jeans, and a few other select pieces of clothing, because I refused to go out and pay for all new clothes, I decided to do something about it.

Since I put down the goal, I have been getting up a little bit earlier in the morning before work, and exercising for about 15 minutes, in the afternoon I might take a short walk during lunch, and I exercise in the evening for about 15-20 minutes. Also I have been more careful about what I am eating, but I am not starving myself by any means, just eating better. I do not count my carbs or calories; I just eat responsibly with out completely depriving myself. And since then I have noticed a difference, I got brave yesterday and tried on some of the clothing that was not working out for me, meaning I was not able to button, zip, or snap, and if I could it was not flattering. However, when I tried the clothes on they did button, zip and snap with out excruciating effort, and one pair fits rather nicely, the others are still a little too tight for my liking, but a big improvement from a few weeks ago. I still have about 5lbs to go, and with effort I will be able to do it. I don’t want to be stick thin, I just want to be at a weight that I am comfortable with.
