First off
calm yourselves before crucifying me for the use of the word “fat”. I know what
I am I am not curvy, I am past chubby, I am fat and my health reflects it. Like
carrying my purse to the back of Walmart to buy a dvd was hell on my lungs.
Yeah I walk
daily-ish. Yes I used to do the gym (sometimes) but it wasn't effective because
I don’t know what the heck I am doing. I didn't sweat when I worked out, I
pranced on a treadmill, huffed on a stair master, and used an arm machine with
like zilch weight. Like I said super ineffective for any results.
So operation
let’s not die because I live a horrible healthy and wellness life style went
into effect two months ago.
Two months
ago I started a clean eating adventure. I learned I did not drink enough water.
Which isn't a big surprise since it was more common to see me with sweet tea in
my glass than anything else. I didn't understand portion control, I am the
woman who makes an eight pound lasagna. I thought looking at this 21 day cleaning
eating deal that i was going to starve and that I wasn't going to feel any
different. However I did I felt my energy leveI change my face cleared up
(score!) I lost a few inches. I was pretty damn excited. I will say I will
never understand who thought the best idea on the planet was to pair sweet
potato and ground turkey.
So I wanted
more results vanity pushed me look for the second phase of a healthier
lifestyle journey. Maybe you aren't supposed to say that, but it’s the truth. I
want to get back into straight sizes and I would love a better selection on the
clearance rack, at the outlets, on sales. I would love for my toes not to hurt
when wearing my tall heels. Damn I miss my tall heels.
The second
step was joining crossfit gym. I joined a month ago, and I am literally so glad
that I made this invested in this lifestyle change. Its hard it is the hardest
thing I have EVER done, but it is seriously the most awesome thing as well. I
am not the fastest and I am not the strongest by any means. But let me tell you…(
heh I just heard a very southern I TELL YOU WUT in my head) I can now go up and
down my stairs I can walk around my backpack loaded and not be completely
winded. I dropped a flippen size already guys like seriously I sat down in my fitting
room and cried.
I am excited
to continue this journey. More updates later.
