Day 27

Well the end of the month is quickly approaching and that means that I'll be doing my measurements and weight check again. I got on the scale tonight just to peek, and it said I've lost 1 lb. I've been 27 days consistent with doing some kind of exercise,  but I don't think it's enough. I know I need to get myself in gear. I know I could move more during the day and I definitely know that I'm not eating the way I had planned 27 days ago. I don't know what is gonna take to wake up and snap out of this funk.

Kind of a funny,  but relevant side note. Sometime at the end of the school year last year (may/June 2015) I had decided that I was tired of feeling frumpy (l ALWAYS wore jeans and a tshirt and flip flops or tennis shoes) and do I decided to do a social experiment and completely changed my style. Now all I wear is dresses. I dress like a 1950's housewife and I love it. People in my circle were a little confused and took bets to see how long it would be before I wore pants again,  but now I bet they would be confused if I did wear pants again. I was very unnoticed before...a big frumpy 30 something and literally the first day I put on a dress, total strangers made eye contact with me and smiling. Maybe it was a new sense of confidence? IDK. Regardless, now I find myself using my dresses as a crutch. When I wore pants, it was SO easy to just get up abs exercise,  whenever I wanted. Now it feels totally funky to get on the elliptical with my dress on. It really is a pain in the butt to get dressed just to exercise after I've gotten ready for the day. ..anyway, excuses. I have so many and need to stop.

The dresses are so small and such a pain.maybe I'll just have to exercise in them just to get over it. What's the big deal? Lol i hope i don't get tangled up haha. Tomorrow. I'll try it tomorrow afternoon. Turbo jam or something. Lol

Sorry for that rant.

Tonight I got on the elliptical and did 30 mins b4 bed.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.
