Fit Blog March Week 4

 

Sorry I couldn't edit my fit vlog due to technical difficulties but I still wanted to give you weekly fit vlogs. This week has been going great and I actually have been thriving with all this alone time. INTJ FTW!

Well this weeks fit vlog is going to be a little different. Unfortunately my computer tower needs repair so I have to do the vlog with my lap top. And my lap tops OS is Linux Mint so I can't figure out a video editing software to use on it. But I am grateful that I do have the technology to continue my blog.

I feel like I have made a lot of progress this week and my new xl capris I am wearing in the photo are already getting lose on me. back when I started my weight loss journey I was a size 3x 28W pants. I have come a long way! I am starting to feel beautiful in my body again.
