So here it is January 17th and everyone is already in their 3rd or 4th week of their "New Year’s Resolution" I have never been big on making "plans" that will probably fade away somewhere around Valentine’s Day. This year feels different I have put on so much weight I really feel like it's time to have a life change. I am tired of not taking pictures, or feeling uncomfortable in public, or some days just avoiding looking in the mirror. Today I have plenty of reasons to jump feet first into weight loss frenzy!
The 5 things to get me through...
1. Our Wedding - I don't want to be a plus size bride.
2. Health - I don't want to end up with diabetes
3. I want to fit into cute jeans! - You know the ones with the decorations on the pockets!
4. I DON'T want to keep saying “I want to be smaller" - I want to do it!
5. Engagement photos - I want to reward myself with tons of photos of just Alex & I
So here is the Plan
Monday the 24th I am going to start my healthy living program. I am jump starting my healthy eating habits with the Adkins. I will be doing a 2 week program which consists of a lot of protein and only consuming 20 carb's a day, exercising with the Insanity program 3 times a week, and the traditional 2 walks for Misty a day. I have decided it's all up to me, not my parents, not Alex, not my friends. I am going to make my own eating habits, and I am going to have to make myself get off the couch and do my exercise program 3 times a week. I have decided it can't be a couples thing I am doing my own thing, and Alex is doing his.
Excuses, Excuses!
I love using excuses why I don't want to eat right tonight, or why it's not a good night to work out. Alex is one of my favorites, "well I have to wait for him to be ready", or "well he is in pain tonight so we won’t go work out." I keep using the word "We" I know!!! This time it’s me, and I that’s it! I will be doing the exercises 3 time s a week, and I will be eating right to get where I want to be!
I am so ready I want to start today, but I know the previous times I have just jumped into something I tend to drop it in a week. So this week is my last week of Food Freedom. I am letting my body enjoy the things I will be going without for a while. I am going to gradually introduce the things I will be eating on Adkins throughout this week.
I am going to try to do a weekly post so I can keep myself going, and to remind myself I am doing this for "ME"
Monday 24, 2011 is the magic number.... See you then!
