1st of the month... body pictures

Let me first say that I didn't think this out very well lol I planned on doing whole body shots every 1st of the month and that I would get my boyfriend to help me take the picture, well DUH he works second shift and was only home with my the 1st of Jan because of the holiday, so I had to take these myself. I am sure that having the different angels, and not being able to have some one take the picture doesn't help me see tiny differences but it was the best that I could do.

Now let me say that I see just about NO change. Maybe a little on my front view, but that's about it. I did however notice some change in my face, it is looking a little thinner and my neck looked longer today. Plus I am feeling more comfortable in clothes and that is really important to me. So while I didn't have fantastic changes this month I'll continue to work harder. I know that I didn't really push 100% with my exercise and that's what I'm going to change this month. I have to dedicate time EVERY day no matter how tired I am. Even if it means I go for a walk, out in the cold, during my lunch break. Tonight I am really tired and feeling a little sick but I promised myself that I would do at least 10 minuets, so after this blog I am going to pick an ONDEMAND video.

I had a good day today, I have noticed that I am not feeling tired until about 4:30-5:00ish when it use to be at like noon I was dragging and by my break I was figuring out if I could take a nap in my car. But my tiredness doesn't really hit me until the end of the day and I think a lot of it has to do with just how relaxed and quiet it gets. So I've been feeling really good about that!

I am still SODA FREE!! This is the biggest accomplishment I have made so far, I really didn't think I could make it this long and it's getting easier and easier every day. I've even gone out to eat and drank a water. I drink LOTS of water now and sometimes I mix it up and let myself have some ice tea.

I am still working on my exercise but I've been proud of my eating habits and I have more up days then down. Of course I still snack a little here and there and maek some slip ups but I'm human. I don't want to be perfect because I know that's not how life is. You get thrown curve balls and you have to learn how to deal with them. That is what I hope to show children when I get my youth fitness certification. I may not have the perfect body but I work hard at making healthier decisions and at being healthy.

I will also use the 1st of the month as my weigh-in... guess who forgot to weigh in Jan 1st? That would be me, so we are starting from February 1st!
