It Begins Today…

Well, here I am…again. I started Buddyslim back in April, but somehow got sidetracked. Oh, need I mention that I somehow gained 10 more pounds along the way!?!??! GRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! Okay, so I KNOW how I gained them. They pounds didn’t miraculously plaster themselves to my thighs overnight. I’m lazy & not motivated. But, I’m determined to change. Did I mention that I just finished my first day of Jillian Michael’s 30-day shred? Yeah…I really thought about dialing 9-1-1 about halfway thru it! :) My t-shirt is soaked w/sweat, though…and I’m feeling pretty darn good about it. Okay, so I admit there were times that I just had to walk in place & I seriously eye-balled the couch a time or two. That woman is INSANE!!!  Yet, she promises that by day 5 or 6, I will be surprised how far I’ll come (or go). We’ll see. Please pray that I’m not in traction tomorrow. lol

Going to Wallyworld to buy a battery for my super-cool pedometer that I bought at Christmas. Going to buy a ton of water while I’m there, too. I drank my last Diet Dr Pepper last night. Even though it’s ”diet”, I’ve been hearing & seeing too many negative things on the whole diet soda deal.

So….I’m needing your help….I’m needing motivation….I’m needing people to be accountable too……I need people who feel my desperation and have the same goals that I do (to lose weight, be healthier & look & feel better about myself). Any takers? 

Here I go again…

It sucks being old. Turned 40 and am determined to win the weight battle once-and-for-all. I’ve not always been “heavy”. I remember the days when people told me that I was too skinny. ‘Course that was a while back. lol Anyways, here I am…again. Down 11 pounds since the first day of the year…without really doing anything. I’m on Atkins right now. A week and a half into the induction phase. Even though I have the breath of a dead camel, I’m feeling good about this. Seems like I have just a tad bit more energy. Bought a good pedometer & am ready to be creative & find ways to make the numbers go up. Hate being fat. I wanna’ be HOT again. One hot mamma. lol  Wish me luck. The war is on.
