So, in mid March, I got some ugly stretch marks on my tummy, on my gut area...below the belly button. I was horrified. I know it sounds vain, but I freaked out a little bit. I was like, that's IT. My body is telling me I've gone past maximum capacity. It was noticable of course because I'm so pale. I started sleeping on my back only for a while.

I noticed this when I was visiting my family, so when I got home I buckled down and exercised 5 or 6 days a week for like two weeks, ate well and lost 5-6 lbs. I actually MOVED some weight, it was good. Then, I met a boy and since we've been dating I haven't been as dedicated to this endeavor :(

I still need to lose weight though, because it's entirely NOT cool to lean over to touch your toes and be uncomfortable doing so.

I don't plan on obsessing over food and exercise, just staying healthy and being consistent about it. I weighed 176 in March, and I believe I got down to 170. Last time I weighed it was 172. I really should be more like 150. So, come on. I can move 20 lbs. I just need to buckle down again and be serious about it. Consistent exercise 5-6 days a week really helped me do it. And just has to be 30 minutes or more, no big deal. I have to make the time if I'm really serious about it.

Rededicated.
