There are a lot of things that are absolutely and completely in my control, and my health is one of them. I think what I need to do at the moment, is to concentrate on the things that I can do.
Tomorrow is going to be the beginning of my #ProjectAwesome. Its a little thing that myself and a few friends have decided to do, to take back control of things that will make us happier.
I took this photo on New Years Eve. I absolutely adore this dress and it looks ok, but it clearly bulges out on all the wrong places.
I'm currently a size 14/16, I weigh around 160lbs. For my height of 5'3", I am classed as overweight. To be slap bang in the middle of my 'ideal' weight, I need to lose about 28lbs.
The picture below is the kind of figure that I am aspiring to. She's thin but not skinny and that stomach is toned and taut. I know it will take a lot of work, but once I get stuck into the workout side, I really do enjoy it and end up feeling it if I miss a workout.
I personally want to be back to a size 8/10 as I feel that is the size that I look my best, what with being a tiny little short-arse. I'm not a fad diet fan, I'm not a Weight Watchers or Slimming World user. I won't follow strict diet plans or meal-replacement plans so the only way I can do this is the old fashioned eat-better, drink-less, move-more style.
I know all the things that I have to do to change things. I've done it before. I did it last year and I was so much happier, so much more confident and I have no idea why I stopped. It all just stalled I guess.
So tomorrow is my start (again) to my new life. Everything is going to change (again), bear with people, bear with.
Oh, and wish me luck. And kick my arse.
No more excuses.
