One of the easiest goals on my list is to get in shape. I have been naturally skinny all my life and I have gotten a rude awakening. Guess what? Your metabolism does slow down after 25. It could be that I am less physically active now, but I have never been an active person in the first place.
That is probably the reason why this is a little harder for me. I have never been one to push myself. I say this is the easiest because it is all wholly on me and I expect to be held accountable from this blog.
I would like to start small. First, I have downloaded the “Lose Belly Fat in 30 Days – Flat Stomach” app. Of course this isn’t the golden solution but rather just the first step. Once I do, I will look into enrolling into a fitness class. I did a Fitbody Boot Camp on a Groupon for 6 weeks and that was fun. But before I spent any money, I want to prove my own commitment. It also gives me time to come up with the funds needed for those classes.
I want to focus on my belly (not full body) this month because in the beginning of August, I am going dress shopping. I don’t have to buy just yet, but I will have a better idea of what dress style will be a better fit if I don’t have this little pot belly.
I will also be much more careful on what I eat. I have too long let my Partner be my excuse. He is the one pretty much in charge of food. There are two reasons for this. 1) He does like to cook and is good at it. 2) He is the pickiest eater that I have ever known. However, he works just as hard or even harder than I do. So when he doesn’t feel like cooking, it’s easy to give in to ordering in or popping in a frozen pizza into the oven.
So I’m gonna start the app tomorrow and will add vegetables at least once a day while trying to eat salmon once a week for the month of July.
