Working Towards: A healthier me

Good morning everyone! I definitely woke up on the right side of the bed today. First thing I wanted to do was clean. After I spent some time cleaning up different areas of the house, I thought immediately about my diet. Yes I'm one of those people who think they need to lose weight, but I really do. Not only that, but I want to be healthy. First step towards a healthier me is eating better. That means portion control and more vegetables and fruits. I actually want to make my own version of a vegetable smoothie. Of course that means I have to go grocery shopping (and actually avoid getting the unhealthy stuff).

 I have to be honest about my weight, well sort of honest. I have gained 25 lbs since I graduated from high school. I can't believe I let myself get this bad. I'm a pants size larger and a shirt size larger. The only bright side is that I actually have boobs now! I still have my old pants and I honestly can't believe I used to fit into them. What's sad is that I can't even blame my weight on having a kid because I'm actually a lower weight now than what I was!

I'm one of those people that pretty much starts their diet every day because I have such a hard time sticking with it. But not anymore! I'm determined to get this weight off before summer really hits because I want to be able to wear a bikini without being embarrassed of how I look. I'm going to feel good about how I look, I want to feel attractive. The only problem is, where do I start?

My first step is controlling my portions better. You know that label on the backs of all of your food? The one that says "serving size"? Well I'm going to actually follow that instead of letting my eyes measure my food. That's just part of it though, I want to count my calories too.  Not only that, but I'm going to start running on the treadmill again. I used to be able to run a couple of miles in one run, now I can barely run one mile!

So the challenge is to just get started with becoming a healthier you. Eat healthy and exercise. Don't forget to do things that make you happy!
