I am not happy with the way I look. Not just in the "girls are stupid and hate their bodies" kind of way, in a "my clothes don't fit and I actually described myself as curvy" way. I'm low on energy, low on self esteem, and pretty low on motivation. Plus my thighs are starting to rub together and that's just plain uncomfortable!
I've decided that I don't need to wait for next year to make a positive change in my life; I can do it right now. I started calorie counting again today with the My Fitness Pal app. I haven't had much success with it, but I'm giving it one more go with my new attitude.
I joined a gym and hired a personal trainer for three 50 minute sessions. I've never belonged to a gym, so I wanted someone to show me the ropes and really help me hone in on what I need to do. Once I'm more fit and confident in the gym, I plan to joining the group exercise classes as well. My first session is tomorrow, so I'll post about it then.
I chopped all my hair off again and plan to use that as another indication of my progress. It might only make sense to me, but I feel like the healthier I am with diet and exercise, the more my hair will grow and I will be a beautifully toned fox with gorgeous flowing locks. Just me? Okay, moving on.
I joined a gym that is about 5 miles from my house and plan to bike there to get in an extra hour of cardio. I'm worried about tomorrow since it's been so long since I did a long ride and since it's pretty warm at the moment, but I'll find out :) I figure that paying to use the gym should be enough motivation to get me there.
So here I am, 175.2 and ready to fit it up with some glowing sweat!
