Goals recapped.
:’D OMG. It’s been so long since I posted anything. I just feel like I don’t have anything to write about these days. :( But I should get back to my blogging roots. Keep me in check and it’s a good way to record what’s happening in my life. Plus, I know in a few years I’ll enjoy looking back at where I was in my life previously. Kind of sad I deleted my original tumblr. I wrote so much! :( But it was the fastest way for me to delete a bunch of entries I didn’t want up anymore. Oh well!
Anyway, my summer has been pretty good so far! Been hanging out with friends and soaking in the sun… although I haven’t gone anywhere. One of these days, I’ll make a trip! I just really can’t afford to right now. *Sigh* I can’t for the day when I don’t have to struggle with money and feel financially secure. So one of my goals for the future is to up my income somehow, either doing more freelance, another income source or find a better paying job that will fulfill my interests (I want to work somewhere I can be more creative and be able to draw!). I’m at a point where I feel like I’ll never make more than x-amount.
Another goal, for real this time, is to get fit. Ugh, okay. I’m sounding like a broken record; I’ve been saying this for years. I work out everyday, but I never push myself to get to my goal. I was close, but gained some of it back once I started college. I’ve always maintained the same weight for years. But I’m sick of my body and want a change. So today, I took a photo my body now and I’ll continue to do this every month. I can’t see progress if I don’t have something to compare it to. So I’m really going to do it! I’ve struggled with my weight since I was a kid and I just want to feel fit and happy with my body for the first time.
Look at lil ol’ me on the left (Practicing my handwriting skillsss… 8D ) . This was before I started really packing on the pounds. I’ve always been a chubby kid though. I went home crying a lot because kids made fun of me for being overweight. :( It gets worse after this point. I was at my heaviest in highschool… I didn’t take very many photos then. If there are any, I’m way too embarrassed to post them! Mainly because I was just incredibly awkward. Not just my weight but everything… including my hair. It was around the time my hair was thinning out. I avoided cameras like the plague. It wasn’t until I started losing a lot of weight I was okay infront of a camera again.
There’s still a lot of work to do on this body *pulls on her muffin top*. I’m really hoping taking photos every few weeks will motivate me. If I an see results, it’ll just get me more motivation to keep going. I think I’ll have better luck this time around. My boyfriend has completely changed the way I workout. I used to be a cardio girl, running 6 days a week busting my ankles and knees. But now I’ve integrated weight training, a bit of conditioning (Thanks to the bf) and I’ve taken up yoga! So here’s to hoping I meet my fitness goal this year!
