Weight

Have you just ever stepped on a scale and freaked out about your weight or just took the numbers as what they are, numbers? Well I myself have decided to do something different something I have wanted for years! I have always wanted to start losing weight but I have never taken the time or the effort to do so; I would always say "tomorrow I'll start working out" but tomorrow for me never came. Weight for me was never one of the things I cared about until I looked at myself in the mirror and saw that my cheeks were getting BIGGER than usual, now that's when I told myself I had to do something!
I started working out and started a diet back in September 12 of 2012, and yes it was the hardest thing ever! I would eat whatever my mom would make but less, no chips, no soda, no candy no nothing bad. I started exercising and running at night after I knew I wasn't going to eat anymore so that way I would actually burn some weight. After doing my routine afterwards I would eat grape fruit because that burns some fat off. YES you can feel it burning your stomach. In November I decided to go to the doctor for my physical and the doctor like myself was impressed that I had lost 18 pounds! Knowing that I lost weight made me feel so good about myself. 
When Christmas came along I stopped working out, but once New years and once my eyebrows were healed from being tatted I restarted. I have like two weeks that I have started again and let me tell you, it seems harder this time than the first time! Right now in total I have lost 26 pounds and a jean size! 

I know that if I have lost this much in a couple a months I can keeping going. My motivation has gone up. If you are interested in losing weight I know that if I have come this far you can too! All you need is to have some time and dedicate it to yourself.

  2. Congrats on the progress! I've always been interested in fitness but eating properly is a challenge. I would offer one tip that I've found to be extremely helpful: If you are dedicated for a few days in a row, then you can have a "cheat" day. Because restricting calories for too long causes the body to shut down, throwing in some goodies periodically gives your body a break. Therefore, cheat days are not only OK, but beneficial.
