Today- I have officially made it to a goal- 50 pounds lost.
Left- 01.01.10 Right- 09.25.10
Lets just say I have always been a "Bigger" girl. I mean I had boobs in 4th grade haha... Just grew and developed faster. It doesn't help that the curviness also runs in my family. I was just not blessed with a stick figure. To be really honest I never realized how big I had gotten in the first place.
Going from dancing every day of your life/ being active from about 4:00 to 11:00- to moving and going to college- sitting in class/ staying up/ eating Bueno at 2:00AM! I mean obviously your gonna pack it on. And I get it! Life is crazy- and at the time you have more important things to worry about than being healthy.
I have no idea what got into me- but something just clicked and I decided that I needed to change. I think what got me was... after graduating it's like "What the hell am I going to do with all this time?"- and I guess I got to a point where my mind set was "Well- get yo ass to a gym and do something to improve yourself- while your trying to figure out the secret to life" haha
I signed up for the gym mid January- didn't change my eating habits till maybe mid to end of February... and today I set here blown away by my progress. I did a bootcamp for 8 weeks/ 4 days a week... and after that have just been busting my butt alone. Couldn't tell you what kept me motivated. But whatever it was- it was God sent.
I haven't been this happy and satisfied with myself in a long time. Even though I have absolutely no clue on what to do with my life- no clue what tomorrow has in store for me- no clue on my next step... I have accomplished something that seemed so far out of reach to me... I feel like I can conquer the universe. Well- maybe not that far a step, but you get my point. Hah
Sounds silly, but I really want to thank those people in my life you were my constant motivation- I know I probably got so annoying with my "OooOo I lost another 2 pounds!" or "Ahh I get to go shopping- none of my pants fit!"- but without you all there is no way I could have done it.
I still have more progress to go- but as of right now- my motivation is still high, the sky's the limit!
