Training tip:
To fuel up for your workout, have a piece of fruit or an energy bar about 2 hours before you lace up your shoes. An hour later, drink 8 ounces of a sports drink. The drink will ensure that you are fully hydrated, and also that you have sufficient sodium and potassium for a healthy workout.

Breathe In! Breathe Out!

Patience is a virtue! I woke up this morning and did Synergistics-Core PXI.

Let's just say I'M REALLY OUT OF SHAPE!! :)

But I'm DETERMINED!!

I shared a yogurt with Lexi for breakfast. I plan on having a grapefruit and string cheese for a snack.

It will get better.

It will get easier.

I can do THIS.

I WILL DO THIS!!

Breathe in, Breathe Out!

TODAY IS THE DAY!!

I lost count how many times I've said

"Tomorrow I'll start dieting!" or

"I'll start eating healthy on MONDAY!" or

"I'll exercise tomorrow morning"

Yes even this last week I've said, "I'll start in 2010!"

Well starting RIGHT NOW there are NOT GOING TO BE ANYMORE TOMORROW'S!!

TODAY IS A NEW DAY!
2010 is a New Year!
And I'M DETERMINED TO CHANGE MY LIFESTYLE MORE THAN EVER!!

I'm tired of waking up and trying to figure out what to wear. Actually I only have to figure out what shirt to wear since I wear the same 3 pairs of pants over and over again. I have a million pairs of Levi's and cute khaki's that are stashed in my closet-size 10. And in my head I can't throw them away, because someday I'll get skinny again.

After the holidays, even those 3 pairs of pants are a little tighter! OUCH!

I'm tired of feeling blah, and taking pictures or cropping pictures from the waist up-unless a good angle is caught where I look slimmer than I am. I am tired.

I absolutely LOVE watching the Biggest Loser. It's a motivator for me and every time I watch the first episode and see those 400 pound people-I think how blessed I am that I'm not THAT big, or how I would NEVER let myself get that big. But I'm well on my way if I don't do something TODAY!!

So why am I blogging about all this? Because TODAY IS THE DAY I'm going to do something about my weight! TODAY IS THE DAY I'm going make permanent changes in my eating and exercising habits! TODAY IS THE DAY I left the house all by myself on my way to get some groceries-and when I left the house I was excited to be all alone. I wanted to treat myself to a McDonald French Fry--and NOT have to share them. In my head I was saying, "This will be my last french fry-so I'll just enjoy one more." Then as I was picking up some fruits and veggies (so I could start on MONDAY) I realized that I'm not going to go to Macky D's. I don't need to. I enjoyed a Gala apple on the way home instead. and it was delicious.

TODAY IS THE DAY!!

I love blogging as so many people know. It's a favorite hobby of mine and I realized that since I love blogging so much--why not blog about my new lifestyle change to help with my motivation?!? GENIUS! i know. I plan on blogging every day or every day about my progress, and posting videos, comics, whatever I feel like posting that will help me and inspire me, and make me laugh as I go on this forever journey to a healthy body. Whenever I get hungry-or crave that naughty McDonald's fry--I'm hoping this blog will help me overcome that temptation. And that pretty soon those size 10 pants will be heading out of the house with me in them!!!

HERE'S TO A HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR!!
HERE'S TO A HAPPY AND HEALTHIER NEW ME!!

Let the journey begin....
