New Year = New Life Damnit!

A day doesn’t go by when I don’t think about the importance of my health and making a serious long-lasting change for the better.  I think about how hard it is to get up and down the stairs in our split-level home, not to mention getting down and back up when playing with the baby.  Well, the list could go on and on!  Look at this pic of me (I'm the big fat one in the middle ugh-how did I let this happen-how cliché lol)

 

But it isn’t enough to THINK, is it.  We must ACT.  Definitely planning is an important part of every venture, but I’ve been thinking about it for years now lol.  I’ve been on Weight Watchers (3^rd or 4^th time I think this time around) and have lost and gained each week – goodness knows what they must think of me (especially since they all know me as my mother-in-law works there).

I think sometimes I get frustrated at the whole prospect.  Isn’t it funny that working out is the hardest for those that need it the most – I mean obviously?  I guess it’s easy for me to make excuses with all my health problems.

I’ve been trying to get back on the bandwagon and then Adam last night very R-E-L-U-C-T-A-N-T-L-Y agreed to start the Insanity workout.  So here we go.

Then today something incredibly SHAMEFUL happened.  A semi-broken chair (hadn’t noticed it) completely broke when I sat down on it – right in the middle of a meeting with people watching.  It was awful, horrible, embarrassing and any number of all other related synonyms lol, but I’m actually glad it happened.  Don’t cry for me Argentina, I bounce back (hee hee picture of me bouncing made me giggle).

And at that moment I realized.  THIS IS IT.  I will have no more of this.  My belly hasn’t been this big except when I was pregnant.  It’s simple – I refuse to live like this anymore.  My desire to change is finally greater than my desire for unhealthy food (as least for now ha ha ha)

PROGRESS:

Well I need to improve a great deal.  I did great diet-wise but I need to exercise and I need to drink more water so that is my goal to work on for tomorrow.
