Since December I’ve lost 9lbs from my heaviest weight and my goal was to lose about 10lbs but actually i’m pretty happy at where I’m at now.
It’s not about the number but about how i feel and even though its taken me about 4 months to lose only 9lbs i’m happy about it because i’ll be honest i’m lazy and didn’t want to give it 110% i gave it more like 85% and even though it took just a bit more time i’m okay with it.
Now it’s all about maintaining myself.
You guys, you guys, YOU GUYS, I’M BACK DOWN UNDER 130! I’M AT 128 WHAT THE HELL?! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?! I’m sorry i’m just so over joyed! I’ve only been trying to work out and get fit and healthy since like December (technically i tried starting September but i gave up quickly) and even though I haven’t exercised every single day and hell even missed an entire week when i went to Cuba and missed days because of my period andsometimeslaziness I was still able to get down! Now i’m only 8lbs away from my UGW and holy hell i’m so freaking happy yes yes yes
Alright so i really need to find some healthier snacks, my whole life i’ve been like addicted to potato chips and i need to find some other alternatives, lately i’ve been eating corn nuts but i don’t think they’re super great for me?
If you know any semi salty snacks that would be preferred for my tastes but sweet works too, i just need to find better snack food in general
And by “Let Go” I mean lower the volume on that voice inside your head that tells you that you can’t go any farther. The voice that says “Oh god I need to stop, I can’t run anymore.” is a liar and if you just try to push yourself (not too hard of course, there are limits) just a bit farther you’ll be surprised at what your body can accomplish. Remember mind over matter and unless you puke, faint or die Keep Going.
Sorry guys i was just super busy for the last couple weeks and i haven’t really been working out as i should be so i thought it would be inappropriate for me to post here.
Odd/Good news though: Before i left to go visit family in Cuba the very top of my thighs still touched (not very much though) and well 5 days later i come back look in the mirror and holy hell thigh gap? How did this happen if i didn’t work out for 5 days?
Well i rationalized this as 1: In Cuba i did a lot of walking (the main mode of transportation in Caibarien) and 2: i had little to basically no junk food at all for 5 days. Like here i usually have potato chips of some kind always, its like my addiction, but while there i only had a couple of Bon Bon’s.
So yeah i think im going to try to go on without junk food for sometime and just eat nice fruits.
I love how far your body can actually go if you just let it. Whenever i run i get to this point where my mind says to me “stop right there, no seriously stop, this isn’t fun anymore, you’re tired just take a break, ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME? I SAID STOP IT, YOU’RE TOO TIRED, YOU CAN’T GO ANY LONGER, OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING, I’M DYING, I’M FUCKING DYING HERE, I CAN’T, I CAN’T” And i ignore all of that and keep going regardless and i can go so much farther than i even thought i could. I’m stronger than i think and i love that. And when I’m done and have sat my ass down and taken a break i feel so happy and proud of myself for going farther and harder than i thought possible.
My old neighbor just stopped by to say hi to me and my dad, well when she came in she looked at me and said:
“My you’ve dropped some weight dear, have you been doing anything different?”
Me: 
”oh no, no, you know, same old, same old”
This definitely made me smile!
So apparently there’s a half marathon going on in my city, and at first i was like oh that sounds totally cool and fun, i wonder how many miles is it. 12.8 miles, apparently 4 FULL HOURS OF PURE RUNNING. I just did my first mile not too long ago. Then i found out that late registration is $85 and at that point i went well shit. So for now, i won’t be doing a marathon but i really do want to do one this year hopefully D:
