i don't like to say the word 'diet' because it's kind of a dirty word to me.
i feel like the true meaning has been changed to mean something temporary and something people can cheat on and break. i feel like it's kind of a negative word.
so i'm not going to say i've done great on my diet.
the last few weeks i've been eating clean and healthy.i had a few pieces of easter candy 2 weeks before easter and (i can't remember exactly what and when) i'm sure i've had carbs of some sort, but for 90% of the time this is all i've had:
greek yogurt (not a lot...just a little)
carrots
cherry tomatoes
cubed cheese
almonds
apples
watermelon
cantaloupe
tuna
chicken
i was worried i'd be STARVING, but i'm not! i feel great! and working out has become something i look forward to!
this morning while i was getting dressed to go work out, i walked in front of the mirror and saw a difference. it made me want to check the scale!
when i stepped onto the scale, i saw a number that i haven't seen in a long time.
i stepped off, and back on again a few times to check and make sure it wasn't an error!
it wasn't!
i was so happy i started giggling to myself lol
definitely more pumped to get up and do more!
i take my measurements again on may 5th, and i'll compare them to the measurements from april 5th.
i may or may not share the results......(;
Heyahh!!! First blog! Whoop, Whoop!
So, I'm in the process of getting myself back! I'm sure you can figure out what I mean by that(; I'll just start from the beginning (:
Mah name is Ariel Lee. I'm 21 years old, and I've been married to Matthew Lee for 2 years and 9 months. We got married on July 9th, 2011 at 9am in the Oklahoma City Temple.
Over the last 2 years and 9 months I've....changed.
I don't wanna say it.....I don't want it to be true.........
but....... >.<
I have gained FIFTY POUNDS!
There. I said it. Typed it. Whatever.
I keep thinking that if I keep from saying it on something public like this, that no one will notice.
Psh.
Now you all know. That's okay, though, because I'm in the middle of a transformation!
I've never been more serious about it!
Sheesh. Putting it on was EASY! It almost seems like it happened out of nowhere. That's really how I feel.
I have worked out here and there over the last couple.........years.
Probably a hand full of times, but I haven't done it as consistently until now.
It's still hard, but it is getting so much easier. Probably has something to do with being tired of being depressed when I go to try on new (and even old) clothes.
I went to the gym today and it was pretty tough.
To be honest, I feel embarrassed and kinda silly when I notice that people see me going in there.
I don't want anyone to pity me or find it amusing when they see me on the treadmill.
It won't stop me from going, but I hope my attitude about that changes.
I downloaded a few AWESOME apps to my iPhone.
1. PumpUp
-Get it. Seriously. It's amazing, and the people on there are so supportive to one another!
2. 5K Runner
-This app was MADE for me! I didn't like running before cause I never knew when to rest and walk, and I didn't know if and when I was making progress. This app has levels and will tell you when to slow down, and when to pick up the pace.
3. Workouts
-That's all it's called. It has options for what part of your body you want to workout, or you can choose full body. It gives you time options. It plays videos so you know exactly what to do, and it has a LOT of variety!
4. Simply Yoga
-This app is just like Workouts.....only yoga :D
Alright. Goal Time!!!
My goal is.....to lose 50lbs by Christmas.
My hubby is gonna have a nice stack of cash for me when I get there (;
I'm still trying to convince him to take me back to Destin, Florida.....but we'll see what happens!
:D
