Mel's Journey to becoming Raw!

Hi there, my name is Melissa, and I'm starting this journal because I've made the decision to finally go raw. I've gone raw in the past, with great results. I just need to surround myself with supportive people, and stick to what I know is the right choice for me. :O)

Lost ten pounds so far.

So I went to the weight loss clinic Claudia told me about, and I found out that my thyroid was messed up. So I'm losing weight like mad, and I'm loving it. I've lost ten pounds so far, and my jeans are really loose. I should be in a size 12 or 14 by the end of March! This is very exciting.

Feb 3rd

Worked out...walked two and a half miles. Did tons of housework and had my heartrate up on a consistent basis. Did really good..i just want to get more workouts in, and I want to be more consistent with the workouts. I'd like to increase my workouts so I will see better results. But what I'm doing is better than nothing. I actually went and tanned yesterday. I'm already feeling better about the way I look. My body image is stronger because of it. I like the way my hair is looking. And I took measures yesterday to fix my skin. I went to Aesthetica yesterday and got some new stuff for my face. So far so good. I thought of something really cool today.
I'm going to get private sewing lessons from this lady at Hancock fabrics. I want to design my own clothes for the summer. I'm making some sketches for ideas. I have wanted to make my own clothes as long as I can remember. I had a woman that made clothes for me when I was in high school and I felt great about it. So we will see how it works out for me! That would be a great motivation for me. Working out to make my own clothes :o)

January 30th. Worked out.

Ok, well I worked out on my birthday. I did two and a half miles, and then I worked out my legs. I took yesterday off because my allergies are killing me and the damn medicine is making me soo sleepy and unmotivated. I'm feeling like a drug addict with all the damn medicine I'm taking for my stupid allergies. Ok, now that I got that out of the way I refuse to let my allergies get the best of me. I'm going to still get it shape if it's the last thing I fucking do. LOL
I have a treadmill upstairs that I am about to go get on. I will not lose sight of what I really want and that's to be skinnier this summer than I was last summer. I am so damn tired of being a fuckin size 16 and not only am I a size 16, my clothes are tight, I don't like the way I look in my clothes, and I can change that! I'm going to start my tanning again so it will keep me motivated.
So now I know what to do.
