I need to preface this post by saying that I have never been one of those girls to complain that they are fat. I don't think I'm fat, and I never have. I have always been very happy with my weight, and I still am.
With all that said, I am not necessarily happy with how I look. I played sports all through high school. Whether running cross country or running soccer (yes- we ran that much...), I always stayed in shape. Not only did I love being part of a team sport, I loved the way I looked.
Even in college, while I wasn't actively playing sports- I did intramurals. And I walked the hills of Athens multiple times in one day. And for anyone who is familiar with OU, Jeff Hill is a staple and I walked it at least once a day. And through college, I managed to maintain being in shape (though obviously not quite as awesome as I was in high school...I blame the beer...and dining hall).
And now. I'll be the first to admit I'm lazy. And honestly, I hate it. I mean, I try to take the stairs at work every day- which is great. But I shouldn't be completely out of breath by the time I reach the 4th floor. And while my weight has stayed relatively the same, it has definitely repositioned itself...into my belly and thighs. And needless to say, the wedding dress isn't liking that so much.
We also don't eat the healthiest. Better now that we live together (surprisingly!), but still not awesome and we go out to eat a few times a week. Coke also make a daily or every other day appearance. Problem is, I'm not one to diet. I love food way too much...red meat, carbs, mmm. And wine...or wine, you are my downfall.
Basically I'm just not feeling healthy. I want to start working out again (oh motivation, where are you? oh that's right...in my wedding dress zipper). I'm going to cut out pop completely and try to drink way more water every day. While I can't see my diet changing drastically- I am going to try to better control my portions. Just because I make way too much food doesn't mean I need to eat it.
And I'm going to stop eating unhealthy snacks and candy...well, as soon as I finish these Gushers, at least.
