Relapsing

Since about a month ago I’ve been slipping a lot on my diet and going to the gym. Hours at work are terrible and because of that reason is why I’ve cut my trips to the gym a lot shorter to avoid driving as much (I’d ride my bike but I need to get a new inner tube). My neighborhood isn’t as friendly as the grove either so running around the block would be out of the question, so what better way to work out then start Insanity all over again? And Instead of beginning from month 1, I’m actually starting on week 4 and do 2 rounds of the second month to kick in more intensity. Summer is around the corner and although I haven’t gained too much back, my muscle mass has depleted a lot and my energy levels aren’t so great either. The plus side to being in a funk like this is that I know right after I get back on track again, the weight will come off just as easily because it’ll shock my system. My other motivation is wanting to join the Air Force, and before I’m able to start the process I have to meet a requirement of being under 160lbs - I’m currently 175. 15lbs isn’t all too far but my ultimate goal is to be a solid 150 to have a guaranteed spot and I’m going to work my ass off until then.

So like my posts in the past, I’m going to do my weekly weigh-ins again and start taking pictures of my scale every Monday to see how I’m progressing. It’s been a while since I’ve used my Tumblr or myfitnesspal and it’s about time I started committing back onto my journey of becoming leaner and healthier. Wish me luck!

This is a little post about confidence and how, through embracing what I love, I have come to find my own.
The photo on the left was taken on the day of my graduation trip for high school in 2008. We were going to Luna park. I was one of the biggest out of my group of friends and never really felt comfortable. I remember this particular day well. I got changed at least 5 times because I just felt awkward and uncomfortable. I felt that way all the time. I tried to wear what my peers wore but I always looked odd because it didn’t suit my shape. This was also a time in my life my binge eating was at its worst due to family issues. I had no real direction for my future because I didn’t feel good enough for anything. I dreamed of the day I felt good about my body, myself and who I was.
Snap forward to 2013 and I am a different girl. It’s been a journey of nearly 3 years and i don’t regret any of it. I’ve lost 38lbs, I’ve improved my health beyond belief and I’ve finally found who I am and blossomed into a woman. For me, testament to my confidence is in my ability to wear dresses like the one I did today without shapewear. Just a pair of underwear. I would NEVER have done that even 6 months ago. I take pride in my appearance. I feel amazing. I feel beautiful. I have never had that before.
I found self confidence by embracing what I personally found sexy and beautiful. The difference in how I felt about myself was instantaneous. I am so pleased I did what has helped make me feel amazing and I urge others to do what makes then feel confident. It’s worth it.
I use to be a dreamer. Now I am the dream.

She is amazing!
