Day One.
Day One.
This is my last Day One.
My life is wonderful. I am happily married to the man of my dreams. I have the two most beautiful children in the whole world. We are plan people. We made a plan for our lives when we were still in high school. We fine tuned that plan in college. We have made every one of our dreams come true- ten fold. For one, we're married :) We have the 2 kids of our dreams. We live in the town of our dreams-to live in and raise them in. We own the house of our dreams. The cars of our dreams. The cat...well...we own a cat. ;)
We are firm believers in that you get what you ask for, what you plan for, and what you believe you are going to get. We spent hours planning out the details of our lives. Well, all of the details except for the single most important one...our health.
I have always been overweight. Well at least since i went through puberty. When i was younger, i didn;t like my body, but i also wasnt very informed as to the changes i could make to change it. When i knew better, and knew how to fix things i didn't. I made a few decisions to, but i can be an instant gratification kind of girl and something always "came up" Some reason to quit. Some perfect excuse. I was reading some other blogs and read someone explaining the "monday diet" I'll start in Monday... that has been the stroy of my life for the past...mmm...8 years or so. I'll start next monday, this monday, the day after my birthday, christmas, new years, etc.... And with that comes so much "panic" and indulgence and using food to treat myself one last time.
Well my "one last time" was yesterday, and i didn't have the token last favorite breakfast, last favorite lunch, last favorite dinner, and last favorite dessert(s). Maybe thats another good sign. I am tired of being this weight. Literally TIRED. Sick and tired of being sick and tired. But i'm also maturing, year by year. I have many more reasons to lose the weight. I don't want tobe a fat mom. I want to run and jump and play- which i do now-not as much as i'd like though and at the detriment of my aching body. I have never felt like it could happen. I have so much to lose. But over the years and over the last few weeks i have been reading more inspiring stories, and hearing more inspiring tales. I feel like i could be at the weight i want and at the weight my body deserves to be at. It won happen today or tommorw or this year, but it will happen. I owe that to myself.
I started Weight Watchers for the 5th time. I did it once in college, 2nd one was an at work one i went to with my boss just to go- never got around to counting points, 3rd time i lost 50lbs after i had my son and until i got pregnant with my daughter, and 4th time was right after i had my daughter but i was nursing and even with the extra points alloted for nursing i was too exhausted!!! I actually just realized (or remembered i guess) that i have been successful at weight watchers. I felt so good then, i was exercising and eating good, and i felt amazing. So 5 is a charm :o) Another blog i was reading talked about writing out your goals - not in terms of pounds lost - but in terms of days OP (on program) every day that i stay within my points range. The thing about weight watchers is, no matter how much i havent wanted to believe it in the past, is it works. If you follow it- you will lose weight
I will lose weight.
And it starts today.
One successful day OP.

GW I'm not sure yet for a final goal, but my first goal is to lose 10% which would put me at 270.
