Blubber.

So, as of Thursday I've started taking weight loss supplements. Y'know, that one that's on advertisements all the time, Lipozene? Mmmmhmm. Naturally, I did research on it like (hopefully) most people would. I've seen good and bad reviews on it. The thing is, I've seen more good reviews than bad, and not just on the site for the product itself but also on other sites discussing the product. I'm well aware results vary and I may not share some of the awesome results I read about. But I'm also aware that it's worth a try and I'd like to see it for myself. I mean, they offer a money back guarantee if it doesn't do anything. I also exercise. It's said you don't specifically have to, but it doesn't hurt.

I don't skinny dip, I chunky dunk.
As far as weight goes, I'm not obese. I'm not fat. I'm just chubby. I'm a mom, and when I lost my previous job I was unemployed for 3 months. Now, that's not the longest amount of time but when it's winter and cold out and all you basically do is sit on your butt all day, you're naturally prone to weight gain. I didn't gain a whole lot, but I can tell I've gained some. And the job I have now is sitting down in an office most of the day. I've always had issues with weight. The last time I was a healthy weight was 9th grade. 10 years ago. Since then it's been up and down. And unfortunately I haven't found a way to absolutely love working out like some do. I wish I did. I wish it were enjoyable and easy for me to get into it, but it's just not. Cardio itself an be a pain for me because I have mild asthma that acts up if I do too much extensive stuff.

When it's warm out, I walk a lot. And I have an app on my ipad specifically targeting women's bodies to help get in shape as well. Plus the supplements, I'm hoping to at least lose 5 pounds. A small goal, but easy enough to reach. It'd be great to manage something like that before David comes to visit.

It's been a lot for me to love myself as I am as far as appearance. I focus too critically on the smallest details. I've come a long way and am able to be comfortable with myself for the most part. Just don't ask me to strut a bikini. Even to get back down to the weight I had when I was at my old job would be great. It wasn't super skinny, but it was certainly something I was comfortable and happy with. That was about 10 or so pounds ago. SO. Here goes nothing? Day two and so far... Too soon to tell a difference, haha. But we'll see where I'm at next Thursday. I do notice getting full a little faster, and no hunger for snacks throughout the day. Always a plus, even without weight loss.
