So I've been to hundred of blogs. I've learned lots of fun facts, i've read the celebrity gossip, but the blogs that have intrigued me the most are the ones that focus on fitness, eating right, and dramatic transformations. And then I thought how cool would it be to possibly inspire someone else by reaching my goals because I'm sure there are other people out there like me that are struggling.
Like every other person I have tried every "diet", lifestyle change, food diary, workout. Not one thing has worked for me. My willpower is about as strong as.. well I can't think of something weak right now, but basically I'm pretty weak when it comes to indulging. I don't hold back! Want? Take!
A little bit about myself--
-I'm 5'1.. I weigh just a little over 140 ( just found out I have 35% body fat...I KNOW ...disgusting)
-I grew up on dessert after dinner everyday.. EVERYDAY
- The last time I weighed my goal weight ( 120) was in 2005
-The following year was my freshman year of college where I would eat fruity pebbles on freaking icecream for breakfast.. ugh..
- I have a desk job so it is hard to find time/motivation to workout
- I actually enjoy working out-- but I love food MORE
- I live alone so it's easier to sit at home and eat a dozen cupcakes because there is no one here to judge me but..ME ( apparently I'm not a harsh enough critic)
So here I sit on a Saturday night making this blog when I should be out with my friends enjoying my single young adult life.... Want to know why I'm not out with my friends? -- serious body issues or as I call it "I'm having a fat day."
Well, I'm sick of having fat girl days. I want every day to be a day I'm proud to wake up and face the world! I'm sick of being the girl with the pretty face-- I want a body to match!
And let me just say I know I'm not obese.. I'm not.. but I want to feel confident whether I'm wearing a string bikini or an eskimo suit! I'm 24 effing years old and should be in the best shape of my young life!
I'm thinking/hoping no one will read this but if in the back of my mind I think of the possibility of someone reading it-- that might just be the motivation I need to make healthy changes in my life style.
And starting December 11, 2011 I am going to start my journey to being my best me. Tomorrow I will go for a 2 mile run, do free weights and the Tracy Anderson 5 minute arm workout... and I will eat healthy---( throw out the cupcakes I made today, don't add salt or cheese to anything, etc.)
Oh and I named the blog Beyond Satisfactory because I want to exceed my expectations ( I've never met my goal weight before) and it's a cheeky way to use my name (Tory) in the title..ha
Here we go....
