Disappointed? A little. Discouraged. Never!

Weighed in this morning...121...WHAT!? Hoping it's some wacko fluctuation & will go away tomorrow! Anyways...here's today.

Work outs: 3.5 hrs

B: Eggs & an orange

L: Small piece of chicken & rice (bad girl!)

S: Hot cocoa & raw granola

D: Soup & fruit salad

Kind of a rough day. Ate more than I'd have wanted to. It wasn't too bad though! Chin up for tomorrow.

Having oral surgery so I'm looking forward to the following week of liquid dieting!

Stay healthy. Get skinny. Be happy!

Healthy, skinny, happy...who's with me?!

I created this blog to document my journey towards a healthier, happier lifestyle! I'm an athlete, currently in the off-season, & have fallen into some unhealthy habits. Your average self-doubt or dissatisfaction has become self loathing. Why? Because for a skinny person, I've gone squishy, and I tie a lot (too much) of my self worth to how I feel, look, and perform.

I'm 5'7" and when in peak condition 110-112 lbs. (It may sound low, but I'm straight as a pin. Higher than that my face goes round, along with my stomach, which usually sports a 6 pack.) I'm blond. I have blue eyes. I have freckles. People say I'm pretty (when I'm around 110lbs).

When I eat healthily, I'm a skinny person. When I'm skinny & in great shape I'm happy. Healthy lifestyle...makes me skinny...makes me happy.

Now I'm 120 lbs. I'm not crazy depressed, just disappointed in the choices I've made that led to this. It's the off season, and I've given my body a break, but what I'm realizing is that giving my body a break didn't have to spiral into eating 4 cookies a day, and going from a relatively low-carb diet to one filled with bagels, muffins, noodles, and ice cream. I'm not a radiant picture of health anymore and I want/need that back.

I need to be healthy, skinny, happy.

At the end of 3 weeks, I need to be happy in my own skin. I will be happy if every day I'm healthy. Makes sense right? Healthy self-image will come after I've been practicing healthy behaviors! 3 weeks isn't the deadline...this sort of thing shouldn't have a deadline. I just think I should be able to feel a difference by then.

I want to be the one who respects her body ALWAYS. I want to be the healthy, skinny, happy version of me all the time! I'll post my exercise & food intake everyday, starting tomorrow. So...who's with me?! Let's get HEALTHY, SKINNY, HAPPY!!
