Ok, so I’m not overweight or anything, but I have noticed I have gained some weight since the beginning of summer. I think it’s b/c of stress, drinking too much alcohol, and not working out. I have noticed it in the past couple weeks, and I have gotten so bad that I don’t even want to take pictures w/friends or even go out w/friends b/c I can really see a difference! I used to work out 5 days a week, but I just recently got a new job where I drive an hour to work and an hour back, so the very last thing I wanna do after work is go to the gym or work out at home…plus, I’ve just gotten out of the routine. All it takes is a couple times to get back into that routine, and I’ll stick w/it, but I’ve gotten so used to the routine of just going home after work. I just need to do it!! Also, I’m stressed w/my new job, so the first thing I wanna do when I get home is grab that bottle of wine or mix some vanilla vodka w/Diet Dr. Pepper. I thought about it today, and I realized I have been drinking alcohol every night for the past 6 or 7 months…not good!!! So, tonight was the first night I have not had any alcohol. I unfortunately did not go to the gym tonight, but I’m about to do some weights at my house (hey, it’s better than nothing, right?). I am going to start my gym routine this weekend, so that I can kick-start it with really good workouts (the gym is usually very uncrowded on the weekends). I just need to do it w/out any excuses, but I just need to START it instead of just thinking about it. I can do it, I know I can!
