I did it!

I went to C.urves three times this week and it actually wasn’t too bad. I really want to go at least three times a week and if I feel reckless, maybe four. That’s my goal.

I look at the mirror and I still see flaws but I’m okay with it. The other day, my mom noticed that I looked a little slimmer. I don’t know if it’s true, but her compliments definitely encourages and motivates me.

I’ve been eating healthier, as in, more water and no pop. No chips, actually, I had a small bag of chips the other day but that’s okay. I think I’m allowed to have ‘naughty’ foods once in awhile as long as it's in moderation.

I’ve been adding prunes to my diet! Luckily, I love the taste and texture of prunes. It keeps me regular (holy smokes, does it ever!) and I feel less bloated. I’ll limit myself to about 5 to 8 pieces every other day. They are high in sugar and I don’t need them every day.

I emailed my sister-in-law yesterday and she is also making ‘lifestyle’ changes which is awesome! It helps to know that someone else is going through the same struggles and triumphs as me. She said that she hasn’t lost any weight yet, but noticed the toning of her muscles, etc. So good for her! Contrary to what I said before, I really don’t care about the number of pounds I lose. I just want to be able to feel comfortable in my clothes and just to feel good. I think I can accomplish that.
