Welp, its about that time of the year again. Summer. Where girls just wanna have fun & are expected to have a small waist. Lately, my friends and my cousin have been on this healthy diet kick with extreme exercise. Just last week my cousin and I walked 1 1/2 a mile on a park trail before going back to her house to work out to her Hip Hop Abs DVD. I woke up the next day in so much pain. I'm not sure how I managed to go to work the next day. When I woke up, my thighs were throbbing and I felt too weak to get up. Walking to the bus stop, I felt like my ankles were going to give out at any moment and a bone may pop out of place. Extreme, I know, but I saw just how in shape I really was.
This year my friends will all have small waists, wearing bikinis because they worked out and had a strict diet while I will be in a monokini because I chose to sit on the couch and eat white powdered donuts. All because I stand behind the old "maybe next week" excuse. Womp. The picture below is exactly how we'll look when we show up to a function.
I felt like every muscle of my body was worked out that night. I didn't have to lay on the floor and do a crunch or a push-up up so I was content. I dread workouts that require me to lay on the floor. I think I strain muscles that way because I never seem to do crunches or sit-ups right. If only exercising was made easy. Another discouragement of exercising is dieting. I don't like limiting my foods. I understand going healthy but I don't want to change my entire lifestyle even if it guarantees me ab results. I'd rather stay "chubby" as the guys call it. Yup, I'm stubborn as hell.
Maybe one day I'll get tired of dreaming I had a flat stomach... but today is not that day.
