yessss!

since january 1 i've been trying to get back in shape.
i've been eating really healthy, lots of fruits and veggies, healthy fats and lean proteins.
i didn't eat fast food at all in january, and so far in feb i've only had dq ice cream once on a friend's birthday.
mind you i still like snacks, i've eaten cake and i've had chocolate pretty frequently (i'll never ever ever give this one up).
i've started working out a few times a week and i feel fantastic.
aside from this week where i've been staying up super late, i've had a lot more energy than before christmas.

but the best part is, i just put on a pair of jeans i haven't been able to wear in about a year (give or take, i don't remember when i put it in my "hopefully these will fit again someday" stash).

i can't even describe this feeling.
as annoyed as i get with some of my friends and people i know for trying to take the easy way out, i have been kicking my own ass into shape and it's actually working.
getting in shape the healthy way is hard but it's completely worth it.

i'm not stopping now, i still want to tone up and be less flabby but this is the first time i tried those pants on since i started.
i was actually nervous to go upstairs and put them on, but i'm so glad i did.

winning!
