so yea, new years 'resolutions' seem to be overrated these days. but honestly, i feel like this will be my year to change 2 things about myself that aren't great, at all.
first of all, its my body. ive been overweight my entire 24 years of existence. and i hate it. i hate being 'fat', and i want nothing more but to be a smaller size, wear smaller clothes, and most of all, wear a bikini with confidence (no belly fat!). for the past 3 1/2 years ive had a 24 hour fitness gym membership. its a pretty good gym, and i honestly do enjoy exercising. but since ive had it, ive only gone from a size 15/13 to 12/10. and dont get me wrong, when i go to the gym, im there for at least 45 minutes, at least 5 days a week. working out comes naturally for me. but eating right, i guess that's not what im succeeding at. im not necessarily a fast food junkie. but i do love things like chips, cookies, and soda. yes, those are the anti christ of dieting. so, here i am, in 2011, still with a belly, still exercising hard, but not seeing results. i believe though that this will be my year to drop another two sizes, and to make that belly disappear. so far, this past week and a half, ive been strictly jogging for cardio and jump roping. and have had fast food 1 time within the 2 weeks. but as daily eating goes, ive really sharpened what i put into my mouth. if i feel the need to eat 'chips', i reach for a bag of carrots or a nabisco 100 calorie pack. a friend of mine said to simply eat 1/3 less of what i normally eat, and to eat more small meals/snacks. what sucks majorly, though, is that as much as ive worked out this whole year, i still weight about the same as this time last year. the first 15/20 lbs that are pretty easy to lose are all that seems to be gone. i just want to be at my goal weight of 140 by june. (im about 178 now). my dream is to be thin and lean, wearing the clothes i want to wear without any doubt.
my next goal is financial. i need to save money like its going out of style. ive never been good at saving. in fact, i suck at it, due to my endless clothes buying, item buying, drinking and partying, etc. my goal by june is to have 1000 saved and not touched.
so ill update you on my goals. thats what they are, goals, not resolutions. and i will try my ultimate best to obtain them.
