small victories!

it's been a while, huh? oops.

a few things that have been happening in my trying-to-be-healthier life:

*i no longer eat as much junk food as i used to. good motivation for that: it makes me feel sick afterwards. i tend to have like one small treat a day, but nothing huge.

*i've been trying to eat in smaller portions. i'm usually successful with this (unless it's something that's ridiculously delicious and i'm ridiculously hungry! :P)

*i've been hitting the gym 3-4 times a week and have finally been seeing results. i have been noticing more muscles in my arms and legs and...

*my victory of the day? my cut-off sweatpants that i occasionally wear to the gym that used to be tight on me are now kind of baggy! woo!

i haven't really lost any pounds recently. i've been staying in the same 5lb fluctuation that i've been in for a while. BUT...obviously, my body is seeing some changes, so i may have lost some inches. (i tend to lose those before losing weight anyway). i've had a few friends and family members comment on how i'm looking thinner. yay! hopefully more of this will be coming my way! :)

how are you guys doing? hopefully well!

p.s. - i AM going to go to california...july 16th-20th. i'm hoping that by then, i'll have enough confidence to wear a bathing suit in public! ;)
