Starting Over

I. Am. Sucking. It. Up! I don't know why. I'm not sure what's going on, I'm just totally tanking! I skipped weigh-in again on Saturday, but then yesterday decided to own up to my bad habits, and went to WI. And...a stupid SEVEN pound gain! Yikes! It was the wake-up call and accountability that I needed! Today is a new day, and I'm starting over. I'm not ignoring the now only 20 lbs I've lost, but mentally I'm starting fresh! I watched the Biggest Loser last night, and it was very inspiring! I don't watch it regularly, but the girl who got kicked off last night (don't know her name) really inspired me! They showed her after leaving the ranch, and she had lost over 90 lbs, pretty much my total goal! She looked AMAZING! And if she can do it, then so can I! Enough is enough!

Like I said, I'm all or nothing. I'm working on the moderation, but it is really tough to change 26 years of thinking a certain way! So as I'm working on that, I've made a decision. For the past few weeks, picking between all or nothing, I've chosen NOTHING! So now, I'm choosing ALL! I'm all in. I'm going to eat as perfectly as I can. And workout as much as I can. The 'as I can' is key, b/c neither will be perfect, but I'm putting ALL my effort in going forward, and I know I will see the results. My goal is to have these 7 lbs off by Saturday April 10th, the next weigh-in I'll be here for. And then I can keep moving forward!

I'm going to get my friend Mandi, who is an extremely talented photographer, to take some before pictures of me. Along with posting those, I'll post my measurements, and *gasp* my starting weight:)!

I'm not going to let Easter deter me! My next post will be after Easter, and I promise, no more lame, 'I'm not succeeding' posts (well, not that there won't EVER be ones like that, 90 lbs is a long journey, but not for awhile!):)

Have a wonderful Easter! I hope your holidays are filled with family and friends:)!!!
