You may be asking yourself why would anyone want to post something like this on the internet? I figure why not. Let's be honest here...I've tried numerous times to change what I consider to be one of my biggest imperfections...my weight. I've also quit numerous times. Blogging online is a way to get family and friends behind what I'm doing and to encourage me to stick with it this time around. Since we are being honest here there are a lot of health problems that come with being overweight, and it's not to late to reverse some of that.
I'm sure by now you are dying to know what my plan is....haha...sorry to disappoint but I don't have anything to complicated. It's the kiss (keep it simple stupid) method. My goal is to workout at least five days a week while striving to get some sort of activity in every day. This time I'm not going to obsess over what I eat. I do that every time and I've gotten to the point where I've ate food only every other day to try to lose weight. That's not healthy either and can lead me down a road I don't want to travel. Instead I'm simply going to try to cut down portions, but for the most part eat what I want while changing my routine. Instead of sitting my big butt on the couch that big butt will be on a bike or jogging on the treadmill. Heck I might even lift some weights just to throw in a little variety.
I've come to the conclusion that I can either spend the rest of my life complaining about how I wish it would change or I could DO something about it. In fact I will take it a step further and say I KNOW I can do it. For me it's a matter of staying motivated and not getting discouraged so easily. After a month when I don't feel like there have been any results I figure why bother. It's not worth all this work...but it is!! It's for my health! That's important. This time I will not quit...I will stay motivated because YOU will help me!
So there you have it in a nutshell. This blog is meant to keep me honest while allowing me to complain here and there...haha...what you thought I wasn't going to complain about it? Of course I am! I only said I wouldn't allow myself to give up...I never said I didn't intend to never complain about the process. I'm excited to get started on this new adventure. My goal is to post on here at least once every week or so to keep you updated on how I am doing. It can take a lot of courage to admit that maybe we aren't perfect...that we do get down on ourselves...that self doubt does exist...but having the courage to admit it is the first step!
