lose 3 inches from my waist

I am worse than I thought. I measured my waist (and everything else) yesterday and it turns out that somehow, even though I have been working out and dieting, I have gained an inch on my waist. How? I don’t know.

I’m hoping I’m bloated or something because I can’t explain it.

I’m not putting down my original waist size because I don’t want to get any crap from anyone about how I shouldn’t have this goal. I will just say that I am a perfectionist and its my body and I can do what I want to with it.

So I have been trying to do this for about a year now but I just now did the challenge on here so in 29 days hopefully I’ll have made some progress. I want to have my waistline down by the time I go to my friend’s engagement party.

requires me to write down current size, even though it’s painful. It’s actually not my waistline (which is 31.5 – not too bad), but a little bit lower down, across my bellybutton where I actually amass 38 inches. Ok – so you get to see it only so that I remember how much to lose.

2 weeks – down to 37.7- no diet, just exercise…
2 months – up to 38.6 – no diet, no exercise…

My waistline is currently 37.5” measured across my belly button while standing normally. I want to drop 3” to 34.5, and then see how I look/feel before setting loftier goals.

So, the dress fits fine, I’m in great shape and great health, I eat healthful foods, I have plenty of energy, and I’m kissing a ridiculously good-looking guy. I don’t care about the numbers of my waist. I’m strong as an ox, my jeans look f-ing hot, so I’m removing this goal.

And now I feel great! took a month, you really have to work yourself. Excercise and a good diet is the way to go!

I was at my parents’ house for three days, and gained 3 lbs! Of course the weight’s not sticking around, but I need to take strong measures anyway – I picked up my bridesmaid dress this weekend. Not that it DOESN’T fit, but it could fit better. Hence, this goal. Tomorrow sees the return of sit-ups and push-ups!
