So, I have noticed a lot of my clothes have been getting a little tight, or completely not fitting, recently. Ok, not super recently, but since I started up at BYU. Everyone always talks about the Freshman 15, and when your eating choices are minimal, and not very healthy, it definitely happens. In fact, since high school (so a summer, 2 semesters at the Y, and half of a summer) I have gained weight. 20 pounds of it, in fact. Now, you all know how much I love clothes, so since my wardrobe is slowly dwindling from being too small, I have decided to do something. And more than just maybe go to the gym once a week.
I decided this last night, and this morning I weighed myself and took some measurements. I am going to write down my goal weight and measurements next to it, and hopefully before I go back up to BYU next month (it feels soooo good to say next month, I miss Provo!) I will be able to fit back in all my clothes.
To do this, I have a short crunches/push-ups/plank/squat routine to do every day, plus I'm going to go to a class at the gym or play Just Dance (hey, if you do the workout mode, its actually not a bad cardio and arm workout) for an hour every day. (Sunday is the exception to this "every day" thing.)
Now this is the part I want no comments on. I don't want anyone lecturing me on health crap, or telling me that this is bad. I am also going to do Low-Carb for the rest of the summer. (Please note, low carb is not NO carb. I realize that our bodies do need some carbs to function, but low carb cuts out a crapload of sugar, and makes your body burn fat instead of burning carbs.) I have done low carb a few times in the past, and I get good results. It makes me eat more vegetables and protein and drink more water. It is hard for the first few days, but after that it gets easy. (And on days where I can't do low carb for some reason, like when I go to California next week, I will be using Sensa. No comments on Sensa either, ok?)
I am doing this for myself, not because anyone told me to. Also, I am not doing this because I think I'm fat. I am not fat. I never said I was. But I also am not skinny. And I will not ever be skinny. Even when I was in the best shape of my life, when I was a synchronized swimmer and in the pool 12 hours a week, I was not skinny. I am me, and I just want to fit into my clothes and be a little bit healthier. Ok? That's it.
And I'm going to need help with this, to keep me on track! Don't let me fail, readers of my blog!
Peace Out!
