So lately I have not been very confident in my appearance...ive gained some weight, I'm in a new place, and ive grown up. So my goals in life in general have changed. I got to thinking...what has been stopping me from being confident in my body? I can't complain about feeling fat or not fitting into my clothes if I am not willing to do something about it. It is wonderful to have an amazing boyfriend who loves me for who I am and really hasn't even met my old skinnier self. But I need to do this for me. Not to get back to the old me but a new better me. A fit, healthy, happy me. Not just physically but mentally too. Every winter I get mild seasonal depression and it really has an effect on my social and love life. I find myself closing off and not wanting to be in crowds. I need to find a way to get back to the good.
I started tonight by hitting the gym at 1am. No excuses...I have at least 30 minutes a day to commit to myself. A friend on instagram said today...it takes about 3 hours of running to lose a pound of fat. So run 27 minutes a day and you will lose a pound a week...52 pounds in a year. Whoo! When you put it that way it doesn't seem so far away. I can do this. I will do this.
Love always,
Jess
