Hello world, let me introduce myself!
This morning when I woke up, I decided this was going to be Day 1 of what was going to be the most difficult challenge of my life. For as long as I can remember I have always had difficulty with my weight. For whatever reason it is, my weight has always bounced back and forth between perfectly skinny to squishingly plump. I have always blamed it on genetics, but when it comes right down to it, I am lazy.
Once I get motivated, I am good, but it is getting up and moving that has always been the problem. I know better, I have been an athlete, up until two knee surgeries stopped that, and currently I am a lifeguard.
However, when I woke up this morning, I knew it was time, time to get my butt moving. But did I? Heck no. Instead, I justified the fact that I was making an effort by making a list of things I need to do to loose weight. Gotta love how I lied to myself. Now that I am looking back, what I should have done was try the exercises as I wrote them down. NOTE TO SELF: Try that tomorrow.
Then this morning I also got on the scale. I knew I had gained more weight than I would have liked to, but I about fainted when I saw the number on the scale. 220!! Ouch! This is the second heaviest I have ever weighed. The first heaviest as when I was pregnant with my first child more than 10 years ago and that was only five pounds heavier.
So what I am going to do is share my progress with you, in the hopes that everyone realizes that they are not alone. Because that is the worst feeling in the world. Feeling like you have no support and no one understands how you feel.
If you are struggling with your diet, you are not alone, as you will see with my blog!
Happy dieting and best of luck!
