New Years Resolution in July.

guess I'm starting my New Year's resolution a little late.
You know which one I'm talking about...

The obvious, "hey, I want to lose weight!" resolution. 
Bleh.

You see, I've never been the skinniest of girls, and it used to really bother me when I was younger but I never had the motivation to do anything about it. I was athletic in high school and I just thought I'd always live my whole life with my thighs touching because that's how it's always been. 

Here lately, I've gotten very comfortable in my skin. I was even starting to think, bigger is fine. Bigger is even possibly bigger. And I was okay with that.

Until....

The other night I was bored and shoving cookies in my mouth while pinning....(you know, pinterest! my new obsession)....and there were so many motivational things about losing weight. 
I dropped the cookie and got on the treadmill. I have been having troubles sleeping...like staying up until 3 am and having to wake up at 7 to go to work. Not good, right? A little thought came to mind...what if I run a little bit, I'm sure I'll get sleepy!
So yeah....treadmill. I ran/walked for 30 minutes. It felt good. It wasn't overwhelming at all. 
I got off and "oh what the hell, I'm going to get on the scale." 

Whoa!
How did this happen?!
Granted, I haven't been on a scale since high school and I'm now a senior in college! (well, I'm graduating in 3 years instead of 4, but STILL!) 
Needless to say, I'm embarrassed about this number I saw. It was definitely not a good number. And I'm still in shock.

And I've been on the treadmill every day since. 
But, with my lifestyle I didn't think that was enough.

So today I've decided to take another step. 
This is so totally out of my element, so I understand if you stopped reading way back at the beginning lol! 
But anyways, I joined Weight Watchers. 
I don't really understand it. It's a lot of points this points that. But I think it will make sense once I start eating. 

I just know, that I don't want to be chubby faced anymore and maybe one day, my thighs won't touch. 
I can't even imagine them not touching to be honest. 

Cheers to sticking with it?! 
And if you never hear anything about this again, it will probably because I failed miserably lol! But if it goes well, I'm sure you'll know! 

Happy running!

  2. I think its awesome what you are doing and that you are doing it because it felt GOOD to workout! You really are perfect the way you are but I dont think it is bad to adopt a healthier lifestyle so that we can feel more energized and better about ourselves! Get it girl, I know you can do it:-)

  3. Oh boy. I am awful with diets as well, but stay motivated! Youuu can dooo it!!! I once wanted to try weight watchers and I used this website http://quiddity.cc/rachel/diet/wwfoods.htm which has all the basic/generic foods converted into weight watchers points!! It helped a lot when I attempted to start that diet.

    Good luck girl :)
