Day 1.
I should be studying for my upcoming tax exam (which I'll epically fail) but instead I created this blog to help me keep track of my diet. According to my scale, I weigh 141.0 right now and that's above the target weight stated on the "Height to Weight Ratio Chart". Standing at 5'5, I am not short nor am I tall, therefore I am perfectly....AVERAGE. Although I may only be 5 pounds over the target weight, it is still way too much for me. Ultimately, I want to lose 20 pounds so that I'll weight around 120, realistically though that has never happened. However, this time I am serious in my endeavor. I am tired of being "fat".
Many times, like most people, I eat even when I'm not hungry. Instead of recognizing this, I indulge myself in food that I should clearly not be eating. For example, the past four days I've had ice cream and that's in addition gorging tons of fried food. I can feel my cellulite growing as I write this.
Therefore, the first step to my goal is to stop eating unhealthy food items which includes sweets and fried food. Instead of eating chocolate and ice cream, I should eat fruit. Oh god, this is going to be so much harder to do. Although, I do think it's okay to give myself a break every once in a while as long as I don't go overboard. Most importantly though I need to start running again. Yoga is not enough for me to stay in shape.
My body right now could use a lot of improvements
My stomach is gutting out and I have no defined waist
