For starters, my college diet consisted of cold pizza, mexican food (thanks to my ex's love of mexican food and my half latino sister's desire to make me cultured!) , and snacks snacks snacks! I lived in apartments my sophmore, junior, and senior years but the microwave was still my best friend. I ate yogurt all the time to keep me (as my dad would say) "regular", but healthy eating was not in my daily activities. I mean why would it be? I thought I was fine and that all the walking I did around IU's huge campus was enough. Plus i did my occassional workout binge, where i would go to the gym almost everyday for a few weeks before a big weekend! This was the way of life.
I knew i wasn't the skinniest thing walking, but i wasn't overweight. Just like to call it healthy. But when i moved down here, WOW. Everyone was trying to feed me because my family believed that I was under nourished! And believe me, I wasn't turning any of this good home cooked food down. Who knew pulled pork with cole slaw on a bun could be sooooo good!!! I was in heaven. I kept my weight consistent because I played softball and my job as an Assistant Manager required me to be on my feet for hours at a time. So needless to say i was always active. Then before i knew it softball ended, i had a desk job, and boyfriend that thought i was sexy just way i was!
I began to get secretary's booty.... Yeah we all know that booty that sticks out unintentionally and is flat! Yeah just what i needed to compliment my already "high booty" i inherited from my father. So i told myself i would shape up. Well shaping up meant eating more! I filled my drawer with snacks and it became expected for me to eat out with the guys at lunch everyday. There is nothing healthy about fried catfish, cabbage, and spaghetti. NOTHING!!!
The new year came and I had to get fitted for my sister's wedding in July. I knew my size and i walked in David's Bridal with so much confidence. I went back to try on my normal size 10, it wouldn't fit. So she tried a 12... that wouldn't fit either... (mind you i had been fasting since the beginning of January and thought i was loosing weight!) Do you know i had to get a size 16? The lady tried to make me feel better telling me that it was my boobs. Yeah my boobs alright... NO MA'AM.... I AM FAT!
That next week, i went and joined an all woman's gym. Jane's Gym in Southaven, MS. I joined because they offered a program that was supposed to study me and give me guaranteed results in 18 weeks. THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME! Seriously!
I attend on average about 4 days a week and i have lost 9lbs healthily in 2 months! Thats not to mention i have dropped three pants sizes and my legs are the best they have every looked. I take Zumba, Pilates, Yoga, Body Pump, Step, and as of two weeks ago a Two Night a week Bootcamp! All of these results and i can count how many times i have stepped on a machine.
I am going on a cruise in May, and i have purchased a brand new bikini.... i tried on my old one and low and behold it fits... funny thing is, it's loose everywhere but the boobs!!
I am so excited about my weight loss! I will post pictures to show everyone my progress.
All i did was increase my veggies and fruits, decrease my fatty foods, and work out. Im telling you not only do i feel better about my outside, i feel better inside. The only downside, is that the majority of my pants won't fit... Im dropping pants like no one's business and im kinda running out. My boyfriend says i'm HOT but he thinks im loosing toooo much weight! LOL what does he know anyway?
