I have now been lifting for about three months. The reason why I say around three months is because I have taken some days and weeks off for illnesses, vacations, and all around life. I am not guilty about that and no one should be because life happens and you can't change that. All you have to do is start back up again. I am proud to say that my breaks have not hindered my goals and aspirations, because I am now currently wearing a pair of shorts that I could not get past three inches above my knees three months ago. I am also able to fit in almost all of my old shorts and I tried on a size 4 dress yesterday and it fit. I also, am working on my intake of water which needs to be considerably upped, but I can successfully say I have mostly cut soda out of my daily life and only drink it on occasions now. My next goal is to be able to fit in all of my shorts (comfortably) by my birthday which is in June. I also need to strive to do more cardio on my cardio only days. Other than that I am doing FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!
