What are your fitness/health goals? Get rid of all these fat rolls, increase endurance, be able to do dumbell push ups, jog 3 miles with ease, and eat healthy
What was the "trigger" or incident that made you decide it was time to lose weight and become more fit? I'm just so tired of being so lumpy and embarrassed of myself. I look like the damn Michelin Man and I want to be smooth, hot and smexy. And I want the outer me to match the inner me.
What do you struggle with the most on this journey to health? My diet. I've found a great group of women to work out with so I don't feel so alone in this. But I've watched the other women transform their bodies over the past 4 months and I look the same. While I can exercise, my diet has been atrocious and so I haven't lost any weight. It's HARD for me not to eat. Because when I'm not eating I'm more aware of how disappointed I am with myself and my life and I become anxious and angry. Also, I can't actually visualize myself at my target weight. I know that focusing on the goal is a big part of motivating yourself, but I honestly can't picture myself at that weight. Last time I was 160 lbs I was 13 years old. How am I supposed to imagine myself as a grown woman at that weight?
What are three things in the area of diet/exercise you need to improve?
Eat way more vegetables, drink way more water, add more cardio.
(Evil motivation ) Who do you want to look better than? I want to look better than Beyonce, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez combined!!!
What can you not wait to wear when you are at goal weight or size?
OMG, A TENNIS DRESS. I don't even like tennis. I have no interest in playing tennis. But, oh do I want to wear a tennis dress with... get this, the NY Yankees symbol on it. And I don't even like baseball! That and of course swimwear.
