One of my favorite gym fits! Orange top, bike shorts, high socks, and my Nikes!

Had a good workout: 20 mins on the treadmill (at 5.5 btw) and 30 day shred.

Feeling good, feeling great how are you?

I even smiled this time! haha

Here are my “before” pictures for the 30 day shred. Let’s see what changes will come after the month comes to an end!

I really should start smiling in these pictures. lol. 

Oh, see my old school braids? :)

I have such a LONG way to go :( My bra is so cute, I need a cute stomach to go with it!

I don’t really see any changes, but I figure keeping updated pictures is good. When another three months goes by, hopefully I’ll look slimmer. (I know these are embarrassing. But that’s what all the hard work is for!)

Before one of my runs. I don’t remember what day this was, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to still post it. Lol.

Left side is before in November. Right side is during in January. Two months of a new lifestyle and these are some weird results. Lol. I’m sure they’ll be better after the next two months. 

The middle picture is of a new piece of clothing I’m adding. As you can see, I can barely button it up AND the arms are pretty darn tight. Let’s see if it gets looser over time :)

Here are the embarrassing pictures I’ve been posting about. I finally gained the courage to post them. They are quite disheartening I’ll add. 

But in a few months, I’ll throw that bikini top and bottom on again, and I will no longer be embarrassed. If anything, I’ll be proud.

I’ve decided to do the two month challenge! Below you’ll see I’m wearing a red shirt and a black and white dress. I want these two pieces of clothing to fit me WELL. So as I track my progress for the next two months, I vow to not put these on again. After two months, I’ll take more pictures, and hopefully there will be a difference!

Disclaimer: I originally took these pictures on November 8th

Headed to the gym. 
Btw, I put a shirt on after I took the picture lol. But I hope that one day I’ll feel comfortable enough to workout in just my sports bra!

Ok these pictures are pretty embarrassing, but they’re the truth. I’m trying to keep track of my progress in all of the ways I can. I will take more pictures at the end of the month. Hopefully there will be noticeable differences by then. 

Also, don’t pay attention to the random balloon in the background.
