I didn't make any NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS this year, because I am really bad at keeping them. I did decide that I was going to lose some serious weight. I am currently heavier than I have ever been (other than when I was pregnant), and feeling desperately overweight.
Morgan and I decided we would work on losing weight together. Morgan started working out with a trainer and I started watching what I was eating. It took me a couple of weeks to get into a workout routine along with the dieting. We also started a family BIGGEST LOSER. There are 8 of us participating in the contest. After the 1st week I was super frustrated because I did really well with my eating and working out and I only lost 1 pound. After the second week I had only lost 2.8 lbs. This is when I had an A-Hah moment.
I am so used to losing weight easily when I put my mind to it, that 2.8 lbs felt like such a failure. After some self talking to...I changed my goal. I decided that instead of trying to lose 20 lbs in 8 weeks I was going to make it a goal to look AMAZING for my 40th birthday. YES...you heard right, I will be turning the big 40 this year. It is also our 20th anniversary. So that is my plan...35 lbs in 8 1/2 months. I am actually super excited for this goal and feel it is very attainable.
It is going to be tuff, but mark my words...it will happen. I am going to knock your socks off!
