Time to get SERIOUS!!!

Hello all, Thanksgiving is over and I am ready to get back on track with working out and losing weight. I am also ready to begin training for the 5K in February. I am still very excited about everything I am planning to accomplish. I have drawn up my loss/reward page I am working on the Poster Board. Once I finish the poster board I will take a pic and post it on here for all too see. I am looking forward to my rewards. I am also compiling a list of non scale goals that I will be posting on here as well. I am getting ready to post up some very scary, honest "before" pictures of me. I have to work up the courage to post them. Now I will post my plan for this week and on Sunday I will repost it and somehow mark if I accomplished it or not. I am starting my week with the best intentions and hope of accomplishing everything on this weeks plan.

Weigh in Week 9!

I am up 0.5lb this week. Not surprising since it was Thanksgiving. However I did very well with not overeating at dinner. It was a nice meal with great family and fun. We went for a walk after lunch and we saw some alpacas. They were fun and cute. I named the brown one Brownie for the 10 minutes we were there...lol!

I was going to put a picture of

the alpacas here but I don't

know how to get them from

my Blackberry to here. Sorry

:(

Well anyway off to a bday party!!! Ttyl!!!

Everyday is a NEW day...every week is a NEW week!!!

I have come to the realization that no matter how hard I try at something there will be times when I fail. And when those failures come I must remind myself that tomorrow is a new day and I can try again to be successful at changing my lifestyle. And if, like last week, I fail the entire week, then I must also remind myself that next week is a new week to start over.

This weekend was fun and I went out dancing with friends for my girl Kelly's birthday. It was a lot of fun, it was also a total fail at calories and food. This week is Thanksgiving and I am determined to have a loss on the scale this Friday. If this happens it will be a first. I usually gain during Thanksgiving so hopefully I can get my booty into the gym everyday this week and kick holiday poundage out the window!

My plan is to go to Zumba class MWF and do Jillian Michaels on TR. I also will be attempting to run a mile on the days I attend Zumba. I will let ya'll know how that works out tomorrow...we shall see. Well its off to bed early for me so I can get up early cus everybody knows the early bird gets the worm so maybe the early chubby becomes the early healthy skinny chic?? Yes I know that was corny but hopefully somebody gets a laugh out of it.

Goodnight,

Weigh In Week 8!

I am up 1.5lbs which is not too bad since its TOM this week! I have not done very good on exercising this week. I have to find a way to motivate myself to get up in the morning and go to the gym. I really want to start training for the 5K run I want to do in February of next year. I need to get this going. I am making a poster board to put on my wall for my progress and rewards. When I get it finished I will post a picture of it. I am ready for success! Last night before bed I wrote down my to do list for today and at the bottom I wrote "Focus on your goals and what you want to accomplish! Accept yourself and love who you are no matter what!"

I really do need to take my own advice and FOCUS on my long-term goals!

That's all for now,
