Today I'm doing it

Tuesday Aug 27, 2013 (204.8lbs)

Yesterday I stayed on plan, and I did everything I set out to do, Yay!!!

Today, I'm going to do it again!

1. Log all my food intake
2. I will stay within my points
3. Focus on the steps, one day at a time, short term goal = 199.9
4. Drink my water
5. Being positive
6. Get 7-8 hours of sleep!!!

I know I can do this, I have done it before, and others do it. I will be successful. I need to work the plan, because it works and I know it does. It does not happen over night, but if I keep doing it, even if I am losing one pound per week, by my next birthday I will be down 50lbs!!!

Last night Tracey took my measurements at the gym. She measured all my parts: legs, chest, arms, calves, etc... I will ask her for a copy. Better yet, I will ask her to take a photo and email me the notes :)
Hopefully I will see some shifts in numbers in 4 weeks, if I do this everyday, and stick to it, I totally will!!!

You can and will do this, stick to it and trust that the process works. Baby steps, if all you do is log your food, stay within your points and drink your water you will be successful. The rest is gravy!!!

I read an article last night that says a girl's body image is primarily influenced by her mother. I don't want Bridget growing up thinking or obsessing about weight and body image. So, I have to stop doing this to myself, take control of my current situation and nip it in the bud so I wont mess her up permanently. Who knew being a Mom was so much harder than just keeping them out of trouble... :) I love my little girl so much, she is my world, I want her to be confident, happy and secure in knowing that her family will support her and love her forever.

Here is the article:

If nothing else, I want to be the best Mom that I can be to my little girl, getting control of my weight is the best thing I can do for either of us.
