skinny girl trapped in a fat girl's body

i'm not sure what initiated it, but last tuesday i talked ry into going to the rec plex to see how much a membership was. i just felt the need to finally commit to making myself healthy.  we ended up at club fitness down the street from our house.  they had a special that waived the enrollment fee.  we both signed up and got personal trainers for four sessions.  my first session with the personal trainer was on friday.  i was shocked into realizing how fat i really am- 178.6 pounds.  may not sound like a lot to some- but i'm 5ft tall!

(me on vacation- 7/2012)

ryan and i went shopping for healthy food the next day.  we bought lots of food we've never eaten before like spaghetti squash and egg plant.  i have already changed my eating habits and it feels good.  i'm hungry all the time, but that will get better. if you know any good, healthy snacks/meals let me know.  especially food that is healthy but tastes bad for me.

i will keep updating every week- the trials and tribulations, the joys and accomplishments.

* my skinny girl is screaming to come out which gives me plenty of motivation to work out and eat healthy *

my skinny girl wants: to walk without my legs touching

                                to not have an arm jiggle

                                to not have a muffin top

                                to fit in my size 8 pants again

                                to play tennis for fun and not wear out after one game
