On Monday I joined.On Tuesday I started.
On Wednesday I cheated.
On Thursday I quit.
The Weekend was a TOTAL bust.
Today is Monday and I am ready to start ALL OVER AGAIN! LOL!
As part of my 38th year of life I have decided to give myself the gift of better skin and to get healthy. Not skinny. Healthy. I have struggled my entire life with weigh issues. I have never, nor WILL I ever be a size 2...4...6...8...10 or even 12. I am most comfortable being a healthy size 14. I use sizes rather than an actual number on the scale for TWO REASONS:
#1- Since I am 5"1 in height, that darn BMI/Ideal Weight Chart says I should weigh between 110-120 pounds. Ya...Ok...Whatever! The last time the scale showed those numbers I was probably 8 years old. When I am a size 14 I feel healthy, I breath better, I have more energy and I look pretty darn hot! (I'm just sayin')
#2- It's the smallest wardrobe I own and the cloths are super cute & stylish! (Yes, I do have Rubbermaid's filled with clothes for all my different "weight stages". )
I have reached the highest size wardrobe I own and therefore it is time to get serious and get healthy! By making it "public" on my Blog that I am taking the first step to shedding some poundage, I feel like it will help be more accountable. I hate when I say I'm gonna do something and then have to shamefully admit I didn't...I hate that! When it comes to anything and everyone else in this world, if I say I am gonna do it...I do. You can always count on me to follow through. Always. Just not when it comes to doing something for me. I think I may need therapy? :)
Will you help me be more accountable? Pleeeezzeee?!?!?! I'm
I plan to post my successes and challenges every Monday. Please feel free to ask me where the hell these updates are if you don't see them as this would be a good indication that I have quit...again. I would love it if you also left your words of encouragement and/or reprimand...depending on how I have done for the week. LOL!

Oops....Still learning how to post....lol Anonymous is "COLIS" lol
ReplyDeleteI'm here to encourage and empathize. When I wanted to whip my body in shape earlier in the year, I did the Jillian Michael's 30 day shred for all of one day.
ReplyDeleteHey G- good for you! It is so hard to keep on track when you are busy with kids. My biggest temptation right now is the Hallowe'en candy that calls out to me every time I pass the cupboard!
ReplyDeleteIf you are into walking with the kids, or doing some sort of exercise, I will do a weekly challenge with you (set a goal to exercise X amount per week)
Hi Ginger! Man talk about someone needing accountability- that's totally ME!
ReplyDeleteI am in the same boat I just want to be healthy it's never about being a certain size for me.
It's a matter of just doing it cause I know I'm never gonna "FEEL" like doing it.
Thanks for the encouragement.
I will keep tabs on your commitment and hope I can encourage you. It's ok to mess up but just keep going!
