Well folks, Summer is just around the corner and that means...summer clothes and swimsuits. Last Summer I was pregnant and this year I still have baby weight to loose and know I wont fit in to my shorts and definitely not swimsuit worthy. So instead of spending money on clothes that I can't afford and that wont be wearable forever I have decided to let go of the hope of the weight falling off and started exercising. Where we live there are tons of hills to go down and up to get some good cardio in. I am definitely not in shape. I want to enjoy summer and not hide behind baggy clothes and not go swimming with my daughter because of my own insecurities of my body. No more excuses, no more ''I'll start tomorrow'' It's plain and simple, I'm just not the kind of woman that has a baby and that looks back to normal 2 weeks later, or 2 months later or even coming up on 5 months later. Breastfeeding or not doesn't do jack, only taking control and working out and eating healthy will do it. I don't care about what the numbers on the scale say, or the number on my pants. I just want to look at myself in the mirror and feel good about the way I look, and not cringe when I look at my wardrobe just wanting to wear anything baggy and blah.
I know what is realistic for my body and know I can't compare myself to others (even though it's so hard not to!)
So here to is to new goals and make over!
I had to come to that same conclusion about myself. I'm getting old. My body is not going to just spring back this time. So I started jogging everyday. Here's hoping we both get what we want!
ReplyDeleteAnd I realized something recently that made me think of you: I've been eating a Greek yogurt everyday for a couple months now, and I haven't had a single major breakout since I started doing that. I've had two minor breakouts, but they cleared up after a few days and that was it. I totally think it's because of the Greek yogurt, because it's the only thing that's "new" in my routine, and frankly until now I've had acne nonstop since I was 17 (except for a couple pregnancies/nursing). Maybe you should try it!
ohhh good to know, I'll try it out! thanks :D
DeleteYou go, girl. I've been "hibernating" this winter too, and the warmer weather motivates me to get outside and active again. You can do it!
