April is another new beginning. A couple of girls at work are taking part in a 30 day squat challenge.
This is what the schedule looks like. Got Day 1 in so far. I took measurements of my hips, butt and thighs and stashed them away in a dark hole and hope I never have to see them again.. Same for the "before" pics I took.
I spent a little more than I liked at the grocery store today. Bought some fruit and some healthier alternatives for lunches and snacks. I would like to say I would continue this routine, but it is so damned expensive to eat healthy, which is a HUGE firewall for me.
I was creeping my facebook pictures the other day and I have come a long way, but I still have a long way to go. I want to be back to my high school size. I would give anything to be that fat again. Maybe if I have some visuals, it may help in my motivation. You can have a look too.
Prom ~ 1995. I can't say how much I weighed because back then, I didn't care. I would like to say a size 16-18 maybe.
I would say this was back in 2001 - 2002. Holy trailer park trash with the blond highlights. Hope to NEVER see that again!
This was in 2008, trip to Halifax to see Queens of the Stone Age. I look like I am about to pee my pants, but I was probably just cold. It was a cold night back then.
This is my favorite. At a friends wedding in August 2011. I was at my "smallest" and very happy. But this is where it started to go down hill. I needed to "prepare" for another occasion and needed all my attention to focus on that and kept saying "I will go back when it's over." and just never did.
And a recent one, summer of 2012. Trip to the Hopewell Rocks. Still in a happy place (only because of the company I had) but still not satisfied with myself. I guess I could have smiled.
I follow 2 fellow friend's journeys of weight loss and they are a motivation for me for sure. One with a toddler and an infant and a husband that works away and she still finds time and energy to go to spin classes and the gym. The other hosts Zumba classes, does Cross Fit and a host of other physical activities involving her love for animals and involvement at her local animal shelter.
As I read their posts, and blogs, I think to myself "Why can't I do that?" And it's usually followed by "Because I am too lazy"
That said, I am going to put in my ear buds and crank some tunes and head on over across the living room and have a walk.
Maybe, if I feel comfortable enough with my success, I will post my "before and after" pics I took in my skivvies. Maybe...
Till next time bitches!!
