Last Day

I've decided today is my last day being fat.  Really that's not true, because I will still look the same tomorrow, and the next day, and probably next week, and the week after that.  But today is the first day in a long time I am doing something about it.  As embarrassing as it is, I feel like if I do this publicly, it will keep me accountable and force me to keep going.  I often do this.  I get all gun-ho about losing weight, and I lose 5 or so pounds (of water weight) and then I slip and give up.

Here are the things I'm doing to motivate myself:

-Keeping this Blog (obvs)
-Training for a 10k.
-Find fun, interesting stuff on pinterest
-Weekly weigh-ins
-Finding a bikini I want to buy and taking a picture of myself in it NOW

If you have any ideas for me, let me know!!

I have to give a disclaimer.  This blog isn't going to be about my negative self image.  I know I'm not FAT.  Yes, I have extra weight I need to lose.  Yes, I don't look like I did when I was 19.  But the point is, I'm not happy in my body, and I'm not in shape, I have no energy, and I just really don't feel strong.  Plus, my husband is so fit and in shape, it's really embarrassing to stand next to him. 

So anyway, I want to lose 25 pounds.  Well no, I want to lose 30 pounds, but I'm being realistic that in the last five years (including a baby) my body has changed enough to give me that extra five pounds! So if you want to follow me and help keep me motivated, by all means, do so!  And if you want to follow me and motivate yourself, PLEASE!

Stay tuned for my "before" photo.  Yes, I am posting a before photo.  That's how serious I am.
