3 months
My newest idea. 3 months of me struggling to loose 5 pounds
I’ll be posting weekly if you’re truly interested in how I’m doing.
Or if you wanna get the skinny on me struggling to lose that last 5 pounds
Okay so this might sound a little crazy and I guess it is but then again I’m young and if I don’t develop good eating habits now I never will and then I’ll be another statistic in America’s obese population. My name is Bexi and I am currently 18 years old. My 19th birthday is in exactly 3 months from today, August 5th 2007. As of 10:30 pm I weighed in on a digital scale and it showed me to be at 115.6 pounds. I just got back today around 6 o’clock from a weeklong vacation in Gatlinburg Tennessee. We stayed about a mile walk from the main strip and up on a hill so the only way to get to and from the hotel was to walk up our ramp to the main parking lot, across the parking lot, through the first floor of some condos across the street and then down about 70 steps. Then we had to walk to the end of driveway/path to the side road and then walk down to the main strip All together it was about a mile walk to and from the strip to the hotel. However Gatlinburg is centered around the strip so the got anywhere you either drive up and down the roads looking for parking or walk up and down heels stopping occasionally in the outlet stores for some shopping. I didn’t need to carry weights because I had a pocketbook full of things such as:
Disposable camera
Small purchases
Phone
Wallet
Makeup
Hairbrush
Lotion
Leftovers in a small box
Too much change
Needless to say that carrying around all that in a large pocketbook while trying not to knock anybody’s small child or older people who are slower than me out of the way was a trick maneuver in itself That thing began to weigh down on my shoulders after a while and walking uphill in flip flops, cute skirts, and low cut tank tops while making sure my hair and makeup were never mussed up so the boys driving by thought me and my girl were the cutest girls on the sidewalk was almost impossible. I’m short but feisty and she’s tall and a little more boy crazy than me. However she can cock an attitude and I can let one fly by. I’m the instigator but she will throw the punches.
Anyways back to getting in shape. Lord almighty walking up and down the hills everyday took a wear and tear on my little bit of muscle. I felt much better about climbing the steps after a few days of getting used to the walking but she didn’t. I have learned though that I can’t walk up and down as much as I used too due to me being out of shape. I am 5’2” in good shape for my height but no real definition of muscle in any part of me but my calves. I’d like to work on my thighs, core and upper back. My arms have no real fat on them but could stand for a little upper body strength training. Check back in one week from today for any new results as this is my online journal to help me loose weight and get back in shape.
