yup! im just gonna start off by saying im not fat, and i know i am not i am 5'8'' and have maintained a weight of 110 all throughout high school basically i ate whatever i wanted but i did exercise i had a dance class, a weight training class, and i work out with a personal trainer. but let me tell you taco bell and mcdonalds were regulars! but since high school i have started putting on that "freshman 15" and gaining weight is a fear of mine! a legit fear! this stupid freshman 15! it came from eating out, not working out, dates, my job as a baker, stress and whatever else you can think of! i was becoming disgusting! my face started breaking out, i was tired all the time yada yada ya! all of it! and just i was just sick of it! this is NOT me this is NOT who i want to be! i have put ON 10 pounds! so yes i was 120 {healthy weight for my height i guess but it wasnt
good weight it was
fat!} i dont care about my weight as much as i care about how comfortable i am with how i look and i just wasnt! ANYWAY i decided i would start with baby steps and do just one healthy thing a week
1: water water water i cut out soda mtn. dew and dr. pepper are my boyfriends...but we had to break up! if i was going to eat fast food i wasnt going to get a soda too, i also drank a 16 oz bottle of freezing cold water every hour because it helps you feel full, hydrates you, and your body burns calories just trying to make the temperature of it lower...[didnt really know how to phrase that but you get what i mean]
2: after that i just cut out fast food and that was HARD i am on the go go go! and fast food is just so convenient and yummy! and awful for you! it was so hard for me in fact i am still not doing so well with this one but i have cut it down to once a week!
3: eat breakfast, i would rather sleep than eat most days, i have TO BE AT WORK at 7 in the morning sometimes earlier...its awful so i sleep as long as i can then i run out the door with out breakfast which leads to the fast food or eating what i bake! so i started waking up earlier to make sure i can get something of a breakfast or something quick like scrambled eggs, yogurt, granola bars, whatever it was i tried to make sure it was as healthy as possible
4: just recently i found out that if like me you crave greasy fatty foods substitute those bad foods with protein! i have been eating lots and lots of eggs lately! and its true! mcdonalds i crave your mcdouble no more!
5: gym time, yup, you've gotta do it but you dont have to go to the gym! i do work out with a personal trainer because he gives me that extra push, he motivates me beyond my own belief and i enjoy his company he gives me lots of great advice and corrects my technique, but outside that i am still working out everyday as of right now, yeah...everyday all i do on my off days is go on pinterest find a work out and do it! they dont have to be super hard and you dont have to run 2 miles or anything like that its great! yay for pinterest! sometimes i just blast music when im home alone and i dance like a freak for a while...and thats enough for me!
by doing all of these things just one week at a time and sticking to them i have seriously lost 10lbs, cleared up my skin completely, toned my body and i feel amazing! and all of these things are kinda common sense anyone could tell you this! so if your wanting to lose weight just stick to it and it will come off much faster than you think!
