Yep, another weight loss blog. I know-been there read that, but this is for me. In need of a writing project as well as the need to lose a few pounds, I found this the best way to kill two birds with one stone-writing while holding myself accountable! So enjoy...or move on-neither will offend me!
I have been trying to lose 10-15 pounds (I know, not much, right? but enough to NOT fit into my pants, look pregnant in one of my cute dresses and jiggle when I run up and down stairs) for over a year and a half [or more] and have come up with every excuse as to why I can't. I have ended the last two softball seasons with, "I'll be in shape next year;" and it has yet to happen. I have bought and sold the Insanity workout TWICE. It's my New Year's resolution every other month...do I need to go on?
So what's changed? No, no upcoming event. No swim suit. No fabulous outfit-although I will be shopping after this!!! It all boils down to my daughter being home sick from school today, which means my three year old son was also home. After chasing him ALL day long, while doing a multitude of laundry-running up and down the stairs to put it away (I won't even waste your time touching on the age thing!), I came to the conclusion that it was time. No more huffing and puffing, no more three year old being physically in charge (I can't even spank him without taking a break in between catching him and the actual spank)! I want my body back, not to mention my health and endurance!!! And, I was hoping to acquire a motivational fan base to keep me going. It's been too easy to be "too tired" or "not have enough time" or eat a candy bar and "work it off tomorrow-when I am too tired or don't have time." It's been a vicious circle that I am in need of breaking - the time has come.
Tune in tomorrow night for the goals...apparently may be more intense than originally planned as my brother-in-law wants to join in and mentioned doing a mud runner???
