Weight loss? My thoughts and first steps .
So today I'm gonna post something a little different... and I'll probably post something more beauty related later... but I'm going to try to lose some weight and here are kind of my thoughts on the process... why I'm doing it and some things I've kind of started doing and I will update you on whether or not these are helpful.
Why am I doing this?
It isn't really because I think I'm fat or unattractive or anything like that. I don't really feel pressured by society to lose weight... but I've been a little insecure seeing myself in photos recently. I've been a lot skinnier in my life, and now I'm much rounder and have a belly. I'm not going to say "I'm fat" or "I'm big" but I've been smaller... and I think it would be good if I got back there.
Also I eat like crap and if you eat like crap... then you kind of feel like crap. And you have crappy crap. Lol. Not gonna go into too much detail there, but I'm sure a person that feels healthy just poops the poop emoji because its healthier happier poop. Like it just comes out looking like an emoji and it doesn't smell... this isn't what Oprah says I guess... but that is probably pretty accurate. Lol. I mean I'm not a doctor or anything... but I'm pretty sure the poop emoji is a medical term.
And I'm going to be in a lot of photos coming up! My sister just got engaged yesterday by the time I'm writing this... and her wedding probably isn't for another year, so I've got a lot of time!
Also I know I'm beautiful and everything, so it isn't really a low self esteem thing... but I think I'd be a little more confident if there was a little less Shannon. Lol. And I don't mean my personality.
The Baby Steps
So I kind of just started this today... but I plan on keeping it up as long as it works.
Right now I'm keeping a journal for my food. And I take a few lines to write "AM" a few lines to write "PM" and then a little line at the end just to keep note of how I'm feeling. Does my stomach hurt? Am I getting headaches? What's going on with me because of the food.
And also on another page I have "Work Out" written down... this is probably what will change the most... but I also feel like I should write about it the most. I just wrote down what I did and what I felt like after doing it. Today I did crunches for a long time. I sort of did 30 minutes... but I did take a lot of breaks so it wasn't exactly 30 minutes of just that... but yeah. I just did crunches... Eventually I'm going to incorporate more things. Right now I might do something else like squats or push ups or something... but I don't think I can do those for quite as long lol. Right now I just wrote down that I did the crunches. I was a little tired after cause I didn't eat anything before, but I didn't feel exhausted I didn't hurt myself... it was pretty good for just starting out. My stomach is feeling nice and tight already! I'm pretty happy about it.
I don't have a gym membership right now, so I'll probably just do things around the house right now but I'm probably going to get a membership soon... so I'll work out on like professional equipment and stuff. So that is good.
I haven't weighed myself yet. I think I'm going to wait a week or so after working out. I kind of know around how much I weigh... when I sprained my ankle, I was weighed and... Idk if I really want to share my weight... but idk how this will be helpful at all if I don't... so here it is. I know there is no judgement here and if you do judge me... I don't care. That says more about you than it does about me lol. I'm over 200 pounds. Or I was back in April when I was weighed. I haven't noticed too much of a change after that... but Idk. I think it might be better to know my weight like next week or something like that. Lol. Idk I'm sure there won't be much of a difference either way... but this might be a little bit better! Idk I feel like it'll be nicer to know after I started doing a little something... we shall see.
I feel like thats everything I need to say. I'll probably continue this here on a weekly or bi-weekly basis or... whenever I want to let you know my progress I guess. Also this is a safe zone. I realize I probably don't "need" to lose weight, I'm happy with the way I look and everything... but I want to for me... and thats the reason why all of this matters. Also you will see some food reviews about unhealthy things on my other blog... lol. Starbucks released 6 new flavors! I've tried 2 already lol.
Byeee! Hope this was somewhat helpful at least! I'll have another post later in the day... probably a haul... not quite sure lol.
