About Me!

Hi Everyone!!

My name is Amanda! I'm 24 years old and live in a small town in Connecticut. I work full time for a recycling company as their scale operator and go to school part time at night. I'm into music, movies, shopping, volunteering, decorating my apartment and the paranormal. Yep, doesn't seem like something I would be into but I'm very intrigued by the paranormal and I enjoy doing investigations whenever I have time.

I'm starting this blog as a way to help me lose weight. I use to be a "skinny minnie" but as I'm getting older I'm realizing I can't eat all the junk food I use too without gaining a million and one pounds. In the past year I've gained a little over 30 pounds and I'm looking to lose it all and get back into my bikini body. I eat crap all day long!! Candy, chips and snack foods top my list of favs. Oh and I'm addicted to soda. I pretty much drink soda all day long. I wake up and have a can a soda and before going to sleep I usually watch tv and drink a can of soda. Granted since January I have cut down to only drinking diet soda but I would like to cut out soda entirely. I would like to add more vegetables and white meats into my diet. I would like to eat salads more often and with light Italian dressing rather then extra Ranch dressing. I plan on only drinking water and hot tea (black, no sugar).

Exercise is difficult for me. I'm LAZY! I would much rather lay on the couch watching tv, surfing the net and looking at my treadmill then actually walking or running on that treadmill. I have bought endless workout videos. Yoga videos, dance videos, cardio videos, weight training videos. You name it, I probably have it. I think in the past 4 months I've done a workout video maybe 4 times. Yea lame! I know!! A few months ago I bought Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. It's still in the plastic wrapper. I will open it soon!! I've heard from countless girls that it does wonders!! I will start that workout tomorrow! Eventually when I get into a little better shape I will start going to the gym. I can't go to the gym now because I'm too embarassed by my shape to actually be a hot sweaty mess infront of everyone.

I use to have very high self esteem. Even a little cocky at times. Now I have no self confidence. I don't fell hot or sexy anymore. I feel like a beached whale. I won't even post pictures of myself now because I hate how I look!! I'm most self conscious about my tummy! I use to have a nice flat belly but now I have a major muffin top! Eiw!! I'm also conscious of my face, thighs and butt. Oh and how can I forget.... my boobs. I was always a nice comfortable 34b... not too big but not too small either. Well recently I have acquired HUGE boobs... like 36d's and I HATE them!! Geez when I had smaller boobs I wanted big ones but now that God has graced me with big knockers I want nothing more then my small boobs back!

I have no real weight loss goals. I would like to get back to my old size. When I'm dieting and I come to a weight/size I like I will stop and start maintaining my weight then.

It's Sunday night now. I plan on starting my shape up challenge first thing tomorrow morning. I'll keep you posted!
