Down In The Dumps
So this has really been alot harder than I thought it would be. At first working out was fun and easy to just get up and do. All I needed was to think of that retro bathing suit or that awesome size 12 dress, but now I just get more discouraged than anything. Its not like I haven't seen progress. I know I've lost at least five pounds, but it's just going so slowly. I don't think I'll be a size 14 by my friends wedding. Nothing seems to make me feel pretty any more. Even if I do my hair, put on make up and wear the prettiest thing I own, it just feels like an unpretty girl living a lie. I feel really just down lately, it's been hard to even get myself out of bed, let alone work out. The hubby's gone all the time and all of my friends are far away. I just feel really alone. I'm not really sure what to do to get me out of the dumps. I would ask for help, but it's not like anyone ever actually reads this thing. I don't even know why I do it. Why do I do anything any more? Oh well. Here's a cute outfit I probably wont ever be able to pull off.

Buhbye Hair!
So, I figured to go along with all the changes I've been making this year I might as well get the hair cut I've always wanted but never thought I could pull off. I always figured, I'll do it when I lose weight. But husband was all, why wait? So this past Sunday I went and got it all chopped off. What is this elusive haircut you might ask? Thats right, the versatile pixie cut! TA DA!
I absolutely love it. I thought it would just make me look fatter, but its the total opposite, I feel so much skinnier and pretty!
Also, my work out has been going great. I've really been able to push myself even when Justin's at work. I've only not worked out the past two days because going out of town threw me off, but I'm going to get back on track and kick my own butt tonight. Woot! lol. Heres my outfit for the week. Since I'm feeling so Audrey after losing the locks, I thought I'd do something classic. Peace peoples. :P

One Step Forward, One Step Back
So I finally got into a work out routine this past weekend, with the help of my wonderful husband, and until yesterday things were going great! But alas I have gotten sick with a yucky sinus infection and I have been MIA the past two days. But we only fall down so that we can get back up again, right? Hopefully I'll be able to get in some workout time tomorrow with out keeling over and dying. lol. I must say the idea of being able to shop at the same stores as my friends and no longer being plus size is really motivating! Hopefully, by this summer I'll be able to wear my first two piece in ages! I'm so excited. It also helps that the hubby has promised me a shopping spree if I meet my goal. He really knows how to get me up and going, lol. Anyway, I'm going to get back to my pile of snotty tissues and Netflix, talk to ya in a few days!
Since I'm feeling oh so sick. lol.

Epic Fail!
So thus far this week my plan as not gone as I had hoped. I have been eating better, well less really. I've been drinking more water. But I certainly don't feel much better yet and I have not been exercising! I just hate the idea of sweating like a pig. I'm such a girly girl. Oh well, I'll suck it up this coming week. On the up side, my best friend is engaged! And I'm her matron of honor! Yay for more motivation! lol.

New Year, New Life
So I've never really blogged before, I've never been able to keep a journal to save my life and I'm horrible with forming habits, but this is something I really want to do. Like pretty much every girl out there, I've always wanted to make changes to my body, but I'm lazy and unmotivated. I've always been bigger than the other girls. I eat healthy and I'm fairly active. I'm certainly not obese and I know I'm pretty, so I never really understood why I always felt, to put it plainly, inadequate. I've always known that what the rest of the world thinks of me doesn't matter, so I couldn't force myself to make changes even though I was clearly unhappy with something regarding my weight. Recently however, I have figured it out. I don't have a problem with me exactly. I have a problem with buying clothes. I love clothes, vintage clothes, modern clothes. I love dressing uniquely. But when you are a size 18 its really hard to find cute, cheap clothes that look right and last. So I figured dressing the way I want and being comfortable going to the stores I like is a good enough reason to make changes. I'm starting this blog so my friends, family and the general public can keep me accountable. I'm not worrying about my actual weight or any particular size. I'm just going to work til I get to comfortable point. I'll be posting how I'm doing at least once a week, probably more. I'll also be posting cute outfits and clothes that I want to eventually get into because that's my jump starting reason anyway. I hope that by the end of this year I'll find myself renewed and ready to start next year.
