A Spring Resolution

I'm going to be totally real. And totally honest right now. Three years ago I was happy with my body. My parents would argue that I was too skinny. But I felt good. I wasn't insane dieting, but I was definitely watching what I put in my mouth. I also worked on my feet at a high paced restaurant...and went dancing every weekend.

This post isn't about me wanting to lose weight. It's about wanting to get back to feeling good about myself. My clothes still fit, so it's not that bad. But I feel gross. I used to be able to refuse junk food....and now out of boredom I find myself eating cheese puffs. 

Tomorrow is the first day of spring. Spring and new beginnings go hand-in-hand. So, tomorrow starts my new beginning and self improvement. I will be more mindful of what I'm eating (no more milkshake runs!) and do some form of working out every single day. Summer is three months away...and I'm determined to feel good about myself by the time a new summer rolls in.

I just snapped this picture of myself. I'm posting these pictures so I have some kind of accountability. 


These pictures are from March of years prior....and what I'm working towards!

  5. I totally understand! (But imho, you look awesome.) Once (or maybe, IF) this baby ever comes out, I am going to be in extreme weight-loss/tone-up mode, and I like to read about other people doing the same! It's great motivation to keep it up! And getting (or staying) healthy can never hurt! :)

  6. I felt the exact same way in January and it finally motivated me to get back into working out regularly. I think it's awesome that you posted a pic for motivation- I was too much of a chicken to do that! Good luck- you can do it girly!

  7. Good luck to you! I'm in the same boat right now. I recently posted pictures of me on my blog- mostly because I look forward to being able to post one that I'm proud of later. I think you look good, but I wish you well with trying to lose the weight you want to get rid of. You can do it!
