A change in the way I live.
I think the word diet puts off bad vibes.
What's your New Year's Resolution?
Diet!
Please, how long did that last. I know there are the rare few people that do stick to it. But I think I can speak for most when I say that there is something about "that" word.
DIET...boo!
So for the past "almost" month (since June 24th) I have been at the gym dang close to everyday. I also have given up meat and dairy products. I want to detox my body and get it to it's purest form. Not to mention I just finished the book Skinny Bitch and all I can say is READ IT. It will change your life, too. So, it's organic fruits and veggies for me, plenty of beans, nuts & peanut butter for protein and I joined Spark People to help hold my self accountable. There is a nutrition tracker that keeps count of my water consumption, fats, carbs, calories & protein. There is a fitness tracker along with many, many inspiring stories from others. It really is an awesome site!
I have said this for the past 15 months....... I want to drop this baby weight. I mean that with all of my being. I have never in my entire life been the size I am now and to say that I am determined to drop 50 lbs before Christmas Day would be an understatement. I will.
Watch me :) I dare you!
After having Miss Priss, I became a stay-at-home-Mom and wasn't as active as I had been the rest of my life. So slowly over the past year I gained this unwanted, unhealthy, unattractive amount of weight. When I found myself staying in my pj's all day and not getting out because I no longer had anything to wear I decided it was time to wake the hell up.
Wake up I did, where has the gym been all my life. Even when I was 125 pounds I would have enjoyed the way it makes you feel. A big thanks to a great workout partner, thanks Nessa, you make it that much easier. Plus, I think we motivate each other just enough to take that last step.
Tomorrow, I am making a BIG leap....I am putting Tootsie in the Fun Center at the Gym. Yikes! Listen, it's a big deal to me, I have a sweet little girl that I cringe at the thought of some hellion child pushing, slapping, or biting her. Sorry, but I would just die.
When I called to make the reservation they only had a 30 minute spot...fine by me...baby steps, baby steps! Then I will hit the gym again after Hubby gets home and my defensive driving class is over...if I am still conscious after beating my head on the table from 6 hours of defensivedrivingness. Thus completing my 60 minutes of cardio for the day.
Working out 6 days a week,
eating right,
feel better than I have in a long time,
have a ton of energy,
lost 7 lbs. since June 24th
drinking an ocean of water a day,
staying away from high fructose corn syrup and ingredients I can't pronounce
weighing in every Saturday
taking measurements every month.
It feels WONDERFUL and I am one happy camper!
Can't wait for the BIG before and after photo around Christmas time.
And most importantly becoming more healthy, not for myself 1st, but for my daughter.
