I originally was not going to do progress updates because I am and will never be comfortable taking pictures of myself in anything that is too revealing. BUT after a big milestone tonight presented itself I just couldn't help it. You know the little steps are what make the journey. I was
starting my interval training on the treadmill and when I went to run my shorts that are normally on my waist were now above my belly button!!! I was not used to tightening my shorts past the point I had them, so I decided to tighten my shorts as tight as they would go. They are drawstrings so I was able to tighten a lot and I thought I had it solved, but.... low and behold when I started running again my shorts jumped up above my belly button quicker than before. I decided to do a fast walking incline treadmill workout instead and when I arrived home I found some more positive things. This past summer I was going constantly with school, eating more than my fair share of fast food, and neglecting the gym. About midsummer I am not ashamed to say, because we all let ourselves go sometimes, I was at a comfortable size 8 in shorts which was not my norm. I got home today and tried on those same 8's and they were loose. I then turned to the 6's and told myself before I put them on that it's ok if they don't fit right now because my journey isn't over. I slipped one pair on, then another, and another and they all fit! Only one pair was a little tight on my thighs, but not all 6's are made the same. I then took a deep breath and reached for my fours and what do you know, those same shorts that I was not able to get up past a couple of inches above my knees, were around my hips and almost buttoned!!!!! I have been working out for almost two months now and I did see minor changes after the first month, but it was mostly tightening and slight
slimming, I am now breaking through mountains and not slowing down.
