No progress...

So, it has been a whole month since I last wrote, and as luck would have it, I am still holding on to those 3 pounds I lost. *sarcastic voice* Although, there is really no excuse for it, I have plenty! LOL

After my last post, I actually had gotten sick. I was sick for a week! The only thing I could really do was go to work, and I hardly made it while I was there! All my exercise and hard work went completely down the drain. Since I was sick, I hardly ate, which isn't good. After that, I just kind of got lazy, I won't lie. Then, I went home for the holidays, came back, and spent my first New Year's without my family. When I say I was in a rut, I most definitely was. I guess this is the price of growing up, huh?

My brother came home, and his first comment was "you look like you lost weight." I didn't know how to respond because I hadn't even stepped on the scale in a month. I was like, well, at least he didn't say "Have you gained weight?" That probably would have made me mad, sad and all depressing emotions. That's when I realized, I wasn't in the same mindset as I was this time last year. Last year, I was determined and motivated to lose weight. I wasn't working, which was depressing in itself, and then on top of that I WANTED to lose weight for myself. Now, I look in the mirror and see a beautiful woman...who needs to lose more weight. I think I more so want to tone things up. 

I didn't make a New Year's resolution because I felt like I didn't need to. I feel like I am blessed, which will continue. I just need to work on what I want to do. I want to exercise. I want to eat right. So, I made this vow to myself. I had made a list of things that I wanted to do for myself for every 10 pounds that I lose. I am going to follow that. I have to get the motivation. I have to get that mindset back. I have to remember why I did it to begin with. Why I decided to change, and get back to that. Even though it was hard, it was so worth it. 

So, I am going to write (which helped me a lot last time) every week. I am going to leave myself a reminder every week to do so, because this forum is not just for me. I had a few people ask me about the diet and what I was doing, and I feel like, not only am I failing them, I feel like I am failing MYSELF.

So, this is my vow right now to get it together. It's a whole new year. A whole new Jasmine. As before, if you want to know about the diet and exercise, hit me up. I LOVE sharing the experience. If you want to share your experience with me, write it in the comment section. I enjoying reading and writing back! Let's do this together, and get HEALTHY together. I honestly feel you can be healthy at any size. 

LET'S DO IT!! 

P.S. Since my brother got me the new Zumba, I am going to be getting down on it!!! LOL
