So, I just turned twenty. And as far as my weight loss project goes, I'm okay with it. But I'm not satisfied. And that is about to change today.

You see, I started working out five months ago. I pretty much started by myself. For one, no one in the family works out, no clean eating. But I'm different, you know. I used to weigh a lot, and I had to start somewhere somehow, right? So I did. I lost twenty pounds in the last five months and the last month wasn't very helpful because I started gaining a few pounds back. Like three pounds. And hell, I'm not gonna let that happen. Not anymore. So today, I'm changing my routine.

I used to think that having a gym buddy would motivate me into going to the more, to working out more. But no. I don't think that's my case. My aunt, finally seeing progress in me, started joining me on my workouts. So finally, I felt like it was a breath of fresh air, you know, not having to go to the gym alone. At first she was really motivated, and I was the key to that. But gradually, without me even noticing until now, the tables have turned. When a few birthdays happened in the family and we started eating a little over the top, bang, we can't seem to stop. And so we workout less. Most times, she's too lazy to workout and she comes up with these really lame excuses about how she's a little sick and can't go to the gym. I mean, that's the point of going to the gym, to make yourself stronger. And that used to be my mindset. Now, she's dragged me into this plateau. And we both don't see progress in us. I used to be her motivation for working out, getting fit. Now, she drags me down with her. No pun intended, but that's what's happening.

And thank goodness I realized that.

And she keeps on saying that she's satisfied when her tight pants fit her perfectly. She's okay with that, I mean, you know, losing a little weight. Well, I'm not. Unlike her, I have to lose a lot of weight. If I just keep on waiting for her, then that's not gonna happen. So I'm not gonna let her hold me back. Not anymore. I did it once by myself, I can do it again.

Project Twenty, we are back on track.
