Ok, so those who know me, know that I've always been on the heavy side when it comes to my weight, although recently I've been told by more than expected that I'm not that BIG. Well recently just doesn't cut it, and has been beat out by what I've been told my whole life; that I'm a BIG girl. I suppose that has sunken in. Though I love my curves and my hourglass shaped figure, I can't help but to want to tone it down a bit. I've been this way my whole life, and now I think it's time for a change.
In high school, I lost about 35 pounds and a couple of sizes, but 5 years later, Im just about back to where I was before. Therefore I have decided to create a goal of going beyond the 35 pound mark, because clearly it was too easy for me to slip right back to my pre-loss weight. I know this will be hard, but I'm up for the challenge. I find myself going back to a quote by Pamela Starr, which states:
"Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream preceeds the goal."
I've decided not to concern myself with how large this goal may be. I'm just going to do it, and forget the rest since my dream will preceed my goal anyway lol. Regardless, I'm not the worrying type.
So to start off my weight loss, I have purchased the Hip-Hop Abs DVD set. Now this set is great because it doesn't just come with the DVDs. It includes all kinds of guides, and tips to help you reach your goal. After week 1, I've lost 2 pounds. I suppose that if I would've gone a strict one-cracker-a-day diet that my weight loss would be more after 7 days, but I'm not starving myself. I'm currently on the journey of trying to change the way I eat, with comes along with fighting the Fast Food Battle...smh lol. But anyways, just wanted to give an update of what I've been doing with my life. Dream BIG folks!!! :)
