measurements!

So after a long bout of two terrible sicknesses (i recovered from an infection and then got it again... but this time is attacked worse than ever!!!) I have decided i really have to crack down on my diet and exercise. I'm not a terribly bad eater but i do have the moments where i completely let go, and i always feel my body doesn't react well to it.

I feel that my body is warning me so therefore I'm listening to the wake up call it so badly wants me to hear. I plan to juice raw fruits and vegetables and forget about the process foods for a while, almost like a mini detox. I feel that i don't need to pop vitamin pills if i load natural foods into my body. My exercise isn't bad but i need to do something gentle but long lasting. I always feel tired after a few hours into my day and i don't sleep well either.

A good way of starting a fitness regime which motivates me is to measure myself.


15/7/10
arms: 13 inches
bust: 37 inches
waist: 33 in
hips: 42.5in
thighs: 26 in

21/4/12
arms: 11.5 in
bust: 35.5
waist: 28.25
hips: 36
thighs: 23
bum: 39
"saddlebags:" 36.5

Look at the difference in that!!! Now the aim of this is to not neccassily lose weight but to tone. I wouldn't mind having an inch off my arms and thighs, but def not my boobs and bum!! I'm also taking before and after pictures too! Its nice to have friends to support me and keep my head levelled.

One moment when i felt quite happy with my weight was in this picture:

Bad pic - i was fixing my belt lol. This is when i was working out a lot and even though my stats are slightly bigger from what i am now, i felt more healthy and more energetic therefore and so much more confident and i think it shows in my smile - right?

This was a day before, i looked so much more toned than i do now. This is the only picture of i have with me half naked haha! So the importance here is not to lose pounds, but to tone and feel more confident.
