Hi all!
How are you all
doing today? See, I told you that you’d see me soon, I’m here two times in one
day. :) My last post I had originally written yesterday but I forgot to post it…
Oops, my brain sometimes, I tell ya. I got it posted either way and now I
wanted to post again with today’s thoughts.
This morning I
finally got my first measurements of the year in and I wanted to share them and
give a comparison to last years. Even though some of the numbers were hard to
see, it was necessary. I really needed to just start fresh and see where I am
currently. Looking back, the numbers aren’t horrible, they are much better from
where I originally started and yeah, they aren’t where I’d like them to be, but
I’m going to move forward. Since I began back in 2011 I have lost 19.1 inches,
6 off my hips, 4.1 off my waist, 2.5 off my chest, 1.5 off my neck, 1.75 off my
thigh (I always measure the right), 2.5 off my calf, and .75 off my upper arm.
Along with 4.6 points off my BMI and 37 pounds lost. I honestly cannot complain
about that because everywhere is smaller than when I started. :) Oh, and I took
some body pictures this morning for comparison.
One thing that I
really need to get back to is being 100% honest with myself, especially on
here. When I started this blog, it wasn’t to try to get people to read it or
follow me. I started this to help me, to get all my thoughts out in a safe way.
It’s actually pretty counterproductive for me to lie to myself, how is that
helping? My vow to myself and to all of you out there is to be completely
honest, no matter what. Whether what I have to say is positive or negative, I
will not sugar coat things.
Now, with that
being said, I need to be honest with you all about something. This is something
that I didn’t mention in my last post and I really feel like I should. Ever
since my job fell through and I wasn’t able to find another one, I have become
pretty depressed. Just really, down on myself, feeling worthless and I don’t
know how to break this feeling. How many of you have felt like that? I have
been trying for months to get through this and I’m really hoping that beginning
to blog again will help. These months that I’ve been feeling this way were
really lonely and I wasn’t blogging, just keeping everything locked inside. Now
that I’m trying to be more open again, hopefully I can work through a few
things.
I think it’s
about time to sign off. I’m off to write my boyfriend a letter and relax for a
little while. Stay warm every one, I know that I’m going to have to work on
that in the coming days. So until next time!
