I have started a new journey. One on which I really hope I stay on course. I noticed that I have gained 30 lbs since meeting my husband in 2006. I also came to the realization that I am going to turn 30 on my next birthday. I am not afraid of 30, actually I am looking forward to it. I just have this feeling that if I do not get this weight off now, I will not get it off after I turn 30. Will I think to my self "Oh, I'm 30, it is my metabolism, might as well not try." I just decided that it must be done now. So, I have given my self some motivation. I found a photographer that does boudoir photos. I have decided that when I get the weight off, I will be getting this pictures taken for my husband's Christmas present next year. Not only will it be for him, it will be for me. I will be able to show off just how well I did and how hot I look!
So far, I have not done so hot on the eating right. I don't know if I have been bored or stressed or what, but I have been eating like crazy. It seems like I am always hungry. So, I am going to the store today, and I am going try to buy things that I can snack on during the day that will not be super calories! I am going to start my working out today too. I am going to do Jillian Micheals 30 day shred for 30 days and hopefully start jogging again soon as well. I figure if I give my self one lb a week it should all be off by July 22nd. I really wish it would all be off by May 22nd, but I am not going to rush it, and get frustrated and stop my plan.
Now the only thing to do, is figure out the eating plan that I am going to follow. I have seen Weight Watchers work for many people, and it did work for me for the little time that I tried it. I think that might be the plan. I just need to figure out the things that I love to eat and look in the book to see the points for them. If I figure that all out before I get started, maybe it will be easier to stick to. Hopefully, I stick to working out too.
I am not sure why loosing weight is so hard for me. I always say that I am going to to do, and it is like my brain just tries so hard to throw me off track. It's like I am hungry when I am not really hungry, my brain just tells my mouth that I am. It is all always in just in my head.
I learned the other day, that it takes 21 days to form a habit, so I guess that by January 10th, I should have a habit of eating well, and working out. We will see about that. Wish me luck!
