Week 1 - Day 1: "Mothers Day", My Day???

I am so blessed to have my husband in my life. He constantly reminds why I live for what I do every day. As does my son. So when I woke up this morning I knew it was going to be a good day. A day of celebration for me, a mom. I got to sleep in, be lazy, watch movies, play games and do homework at my leisure. Now don't confuse my question mark in my title as this wasnt my day. It so was. I just woke up thinking that I am being celebrated by my family, but "I" didnt want to celebrate me. Why would I not want to do that? Here is why... I got on the scale and remembered that I am not fully happy with me. I need to lose weight. I have been blaming it on "baby weight" for two years now and thats not fair to anyone. Its just pure laziness and I decided that today is the day that I start to do something about it.

I want to celebrate me and so I decided that for one year I am going to work on me in every way I can... physically, emotionally, educationally, etc. I want to be a better person for everyone in my life, especially me.

So here is my challenge to myself. I weigh 208 pounds as of this morning. I am going to make this blog an outlet for to express how I am feeling, where I am, and where I am ready to be. By the end of the one year I hope to be 158 pounds. I know that is ambitious but I know I can do it.

Please support me. I will continually update you all (well anyone who cares to keep track). I will be accountable to everyone and espcially myself.

In one year you will see a better me. Not that the old me is bad and unhappy, but I am just ready to take me to the next level.

WISH ME LUCK!
XOXO

  1. 58lbs in 1 year is COMPLETELY do-able. I did it. And actually by my 1 year, I lost almost 70lbs. So your 50lbs is NOTHING. You figure, if you give yourself a full year at 52 weeks at 1lb of weight loss per week, it will be easy. I know you can do it and if you need a buddy or support, I am here.
