Introducing…….365 Days of Hell

Recap:

My name is Holly Holt.  I am a foodaholic (no applause please).  I have been rejected thrice for the Biggest Loser and wasn’t chosen for Extreme Makeover:  Weightloss Edition, despite my own “dramatic” life story and uber charismatic sassiness (I know, unbelievable!).  But I’ve decided once and for all that it’s time for me to take matters into my own hands. I have tried a million program, diets, etc, but this time I’m determined to get rid of the fat suit once and for all through blood, sweat, and tears (preferably more sweat, less actual blood).  My starting weight:  428 pounds.  On July 12^th I started Weight Watchers.  On July 16, 365 Days of Hell Begins.  365 Days of exercising every day at least one hour, even though I’m a mother and wife,  work full time, and go to school full time.  No excuses!

Here I Go A-G-A-I-N….

I’m back!  (Sheesh doesn’t she every give up????)  NO.  I’m doing it peeps, no matter how much I cry about it.  I’m getting up early tomorrow and exercising.  I’m excited for this change.  I know that’s just because it’s the beginning.  I fully know there are days I will hate it, hate exercise, hate everything and everybody, especially myself for starting something else.

But this time is different because I have to finish it.  One year.

A year will go by whether I do this or not.  I can be just as fat (or more eek) and miserable, or I can be closer to my goal.  Which one would you choose?

What’s The Plan Stan?

It’s simple actually.  Here are the rules:

• Follow Weight Watchers specifically:
• Track points/exercise
• Eat fewer carbs in morning & afternoon
• Exercise every day for at least an hour

Why?  I'm following Weight Watchers because I need to be held accountible.  I'm going to have very low carbs during the day etc up until dinner.  At dinner I can have carbs, but will stick to whole grains for the most part.  The low carb thing is because I know that works well for me.  But I'm certainly not doing NO CARBS because I know that isn't doable for me.  Not only could I not stick to the WIO diet because you drink your meals and I missed having any carbs at all, but I honestly feel you should be on something you can do your whole life.  a LIFE change.  I'm exercising so much because it's really not THAT much and I know my body responds well to that.  Basically I'm combining the pieces that worked for the bazillion diets I've tried.

But it won't be easy.  I know it will be hellish for this big body.  But my time for making excuses is over.  Hasta La Vista Fat Ass (ok not really.  Baby got back and I'm ok with that - just less back baby LMAO...ha ha literally)

And this isn't something with an end.  This is what I must do - be active and eat right.  Oh sure once I get to my ideal I won't need to work out an our every single day but I will still need to be very active to maintain it.
