Did I Do That???

Really?  I'm asking myself as I type this.  Did I really tell Stacey I would be part of this?  Well, Weight Watchers hasn't done it for me, South Beach hasn't done it for me, the hospital liquid diet hasn't done it for me, Nutri System hasn't done it for me....so I might as well put this in a different perspective and try something new.  Oh yea, I've lost as much as 46 pounds before.  And no, I haven't put all of it back on, but yes, a good deal of it.  As I get older, it seems it doesn't matter so much....that is until I head to my closet and everything feels like it's choking the living daylights out of me!!!  So I guess, my main goal is to feel better, look better, think better, have more energy, and just enjoy life a little better.  I want to put me first, and everything else second.  Well...my job could be 15th and that would be okay.  Unfortunately, the job seems to consume me, literally it is sucking the life out of me.  I love my job, I make good money, but I'm tired...so, so tired of it being at the top of the heap. So I'm doing this to focus more on me.  If I have to focus, maybe good things will happen.  Oh...and if I lose a couple of pounds in the meantime....WOOHOOTY!!!  All the better!!!

After all, I have two absolutely beautiful grand daughters who I want to run and frolic with.  My family is my life and I want that life to be long so that I can enjoy my family to my last breath. 

And I have no need to be "skinny"...at least not anymore.  Not after all the years of wishing and trying to be skinny.  I'm happy with me...I'd just like to be a healthier me.

So some solid goals are trying to earn the exercise points....drinking the water....and 15 pounds in this 12 week challenge. 

And I'm headed to the beach for 2 1/2 weeks so this will be a real challenge.  But I'm up for it.

"Did I do that?"....well, yes, yes I did!! :-)

Peace Out - Terry

  1. Good girl Terry! I'm proud of you that you made this commitment even though you head out for 2 1/2 weeks vacation soon. AND these are fantastic goals. I think we're all of the same mind that we all want to be healthy and do the right things and if the scale goes down, great. But if it doesn't it is still good because we'll still be feeling great with all our new healthy habits!
