31 day challenge.

Starting tomorrow, I will do my own 31-day challenge. Every other day I will add something I wish to accomplish, and start doing it. Weight-wise, I challenge myself to loose 8 pounds in a month, going down to a 155lbs.

Tasks:
1. Avoid all types of sodas.

Update

Story of my life.

When the going gets tough, I stop.

Finals pretty much screwed anything health-related for me. Under pressure, under stress, over-worked and lacking sleep--not good for my determination.

I will start over. Start fresh. And keep the posting and make it a regular thing. It keeps me focused and keep my sight to the goal.

And what better time to start than New Year's? I shall try to come up with short term goals and build up towards my ultimate goal that way. Hopefully I won't fall back again. And if I do, I won't throw myself into the abyss.

Til New Year's!

P.S. Got a similar New Year's resolution? Email me and we'll keep each other motivated ;)

Pretty in Lace

Inspiration: Lace

I think that lace is gorgeous on women, but you have to be thin to pull it off. I will wear lace someday. 

And just to prove my point that lace doesn't work when you're not skinny, I present to you Exhibit A:

Epic Fail

I was volunteering at a brunch and couldn't resist grabbing a banana nut muffin and two of those tiny bite-size desserts. I felt so guilty afterwards that I was like "what the hell, since I already screwed up, let's screw up big time."

I then proceeded to devour popcorn, cookies, candy, pita chips.... It was a bad day. REALLY bad.
I need to stop thinking that tripping does not equal falling into the hole.

If they can do it...

Inspiration: Before and After 

Before and After pictures are one of the biggest inspirations out there. If they can do it, I can do it. Whenever it feels like it's impossible, I shall look at these and have proof that it IS possible.

Pretty Girl # 1

Inspiration: Kaya Scodelario

Kaya Scodelario has an effortless kind of beauty. Long legs, long neck- she's gorgeous. Someday, I will have skinny legs like that.  But for now, here's a reminder to myself of why I should stick to this.

I'm giving myself an intervention.

Day 0.

I've been wanting to loose weight for a long time, but never really stuck to it. I've lost weight, gained weight, and a whole lot in between.

This time will be different.

This blog is to help me search for inspiration. I will be posting stuff I find and pictures that will remind me of my goal.

I will also keep track of my progress and take note of what I eat, if I exercise, and such. Hopefully I won't get lost in my search for thin, and I'll find others who are in the same journey. I will not let you down.

Stats:

Height: 5'7
Age: 20
Current weight: 164 lbs
Goal weight:  120 lbs
