Seven days into the new year and I feel great… Maybe not great, but definitely good. A strong 6/10.
My goal this week was to go to the gym three times and do at least a 45-minute workout. I have to be truthful, I only made it to the gym twice. One of the days I overslept and really punched myself up over it. I really don’t want to get into a habit where workouts are put onto the back burner. I go back to work tomorrow so I doubt I’ll get the time to go more than twice a week but I guess that’s a start.
Today i worked on my legs and a little on my back.
I’ve always had chunky legs which I didn’t really have an issue with until the trend of ‘thigh gaps’ really hit the internet. I was an actively Tumblr user, witnessing endless post of really thin slender girls with carved out legs. I knew I could never look like them, and I guess I didn’t want to. Being thin was never something i aspired to be. I guess that’s why I was happy when the ‘thick’ movement became popular. Even though I was told I have the body of a stripper, it really made me feel like I could be attractive even if I didn’t look like the thigh gap girls. haha!
My back is something I never thought I could change until I started watching fitness videoes. Back fat is a thing I’ve struggled with for many years. I remember being in my early teen years and everyone would wear belly/crop tops. But I couldn’t because of the lumps I had sitting underneath my bra. It really makes me laugh looking back, everyone would comment on how flat my stomach was, why was I hiding it but they didn’t know how conscious I was of my body. Now I know how to combat the problem, I see it more as a goal rather than a part of my body I need to hide forever. Hopefully, by summer they will be gone, we’ll have to see in 5 months. 🙂
My next week focus is food, I’ve meal prepped this week, but I don’t have a whole book of healthy recipes. Especially since I’ve become a pescatarian since last August. I did retreat back to chicken in December but i blamed the festive period.
But yeah, in whole, this we sbeen okay, I really hope i can keep this going at a steady rate. maybe i can even look alittle mor toned for m 22nd birthday. But who knows?
