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.

Monday = New Beginning
Monday Aug. 26th (today = 205.6)
So the weekend was kind of a bust, luckily that is why we have a new beginning.
I got 8 hours of sleep last night and woke up 10 minutes before my alarm clock went off!!!
It makes a huge difference. Even though it was miserable and grey out (very rainy), I got my monthly visit :( and it took me over an hour to drive to work (ugh, I feel fall coming back), I am feeling pretty optimistic about today.
I will do it this TODAY, I will commit to doing it all day today!
*Unfortunately, I forgot my water bottle :(
Today I will focus on:
1. Track all my food intake, even if I go over
2. Stay within my points, at least put in the effort
3. Drink my water
4. I will go to the gym tonight at 7pm work out with my trainer for 1 hour, then... I WILL STAY AND DO 30 minutes of CARDIO!!!
5. Focus on the process, keep the goal in mind ! (goal 1 = 199.9)
I can do this! Good luck, and if necessary come back to the blog and write down how you are struggling! remember we are learning to lose! (when you are learning, you make mistakes)

Saturday, Weigh-in day
Saturday Aug. 24th, 2013
Today was weigh in day. I was up from the last time I weighed in, which was over 2 weeks ago, but not so horribly that I can not repair the damage.
truth = 206.7lbs
I can and will do better for next week's weigh in.
How?
- write down all the food I eat each day
- stay within my allotted points
- exercise at least 3 x this coming week
- drink my water, 2 L per day
- Stick to it!
- Focus everyday on the goal.
Remember:
Go forth and Work the Plan!!!

Aug 22, 2013 and I am in the same place I was years ago (well, almost)
Recently I went to a Jillian Michaels' presentation called 'Maximize your life'. She talked about being so uncomfortable or dissatisfied with your current situation that you needed to move from that space/location/behavior. This means CHANGE your behavior. I don't want to turn 42 (next year same time) and say, "I wish I had made better use of last year". When I take a look at the past 6 years, I see have pretty much been the same weight and wishing I were lighter.
Today, I chose change!
Here are some quotes that will make you stick to change:
Today, August 22, 2013 I commit to changing my life and going after my goals.
p.s. A year from today I will be happy I did.
Today, I chose change!
Here are some quotes that will make you stick to change:
- Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change. - Tony Robbins
- Why chose to fail when success is an option! - Jillian Michaels
- It's not about perfect. It's about effort. And when you bring that effort every single day, that's where transformation happens. That's how change occurs. - Jillian Michaels
- Practice being your best self! - Jillian Michaels
Today, August 22, 2013 I commit to changing my life and going after my goals.

Why am I doing this?
I think I truly need a reason to do this, to motivate me to stay on track, here are some of the reasons I want this:
- To be healthy
- To be a good role model for Bridget
- To be able to bend down easily
- To be able to get off the floor easily after playing with Bridget
- To not have heartburn, EVER
- To feel great about myself
- To be happy with my body
- To be able to fit into my pre Bridget jeans
- To see the muscle definition that I know I have
- To accomplish a goal I set for myself
- To fix my knee and back pain
- To sleep better
- To feel like ME again
Starting AGAIN
OK, so 2010 was not the year that I lost weight.
2011 IS the year I WILL lose weight and become healthy again.
I do not want to waste another year 'thinking' about losing weight and not DOING it.
In 2010, I did make a healthy change and got a new job, so this made a positive change to my lifestyle and to my mental health, so it wasnt all bad.
My first goal is to get back to where I ended off my last blog post, therefore...
My first goal is: 189 lbs
I want to achieve this by March 1st, 2011.
Today's weight: 205.8 lbs
... I'll check in with my updates.
