I found out recently that my parents are taking my brother, sister, two
stepsisters, and me to Vegas in June. I'm excited for the all expenses
paid trip, but I'm also terrified. I am the shortest and quite frankly
the fattest of all of my siblings. When my mom & step-dad got
married Dec 2012, I felt really fat next to everyone else and I don't
want to feel that way out by the pool on vacation.
On Monday I start a new chapter in my life as I go back to school, so I
am going to use that as a catalyst to get back into a workout routine.
Will my body be bikini ready or even able to stand up next to my
siblings without me feeling a little down? No, but I'm determined to at
least see a little progress so I can find a swimsuit that I will feel
good in. I'm hoping that this will also transition into a healthy
lifestyle that I can use to bring me down to 150lbs by the time I go to
my friend's wedding cruise in the Bahamas in 2015.
I do have a plan this time, so that will at least help. I'm going to
t-tapp at least 3 times a week, cut back on the gluten and carbs I
consume, and do the SLD every day. Now all I need is a workout buddy.
I've got a couple of friends in mind to ask and I'll see if I can
convince them to do it with me.
I did my first workout for the first time in a while. It felt pretty
good, but I was definitely winded by the end of the workout. I've also
been very contentious of what I'm eating. Unfortunately, until I get
paid on the 7th I'm stuck eating anything that I have in my apartment
(which includes massively expired top ramen). Once I'm paid, I can
afford to get some new groceries and healthy food. Until then, I'm going
to make due with what I've got and try to pick the healthiest choices
possible. I can't wait to see the progress I make between now and June.
Well, that's all I've got
for now but I'll be posting more another time.
