Okay, I have a confession to make. I joined a team with my sisterfriends to do a "Scale Back Alabama" weight loss challenge. You had 10 weeks to lose 10 pounds. My confession is that I have not lost 10 pounds. Not even close. Why? Simple. I have not really tried. I hate that. I've been busy. And Frustrated..... And I just have not made the time to go to the gym. Plus, I've been so busy that I have not made the right choices when it comes to food. At all. My Husband is a bad influence on me too. Excuses! I need to quit making excuses!! I can only blame myself for what I weigh.
Today, I am getting serious. I have 10 days left until the final day of the challenge. I don't think I will make it to a 10 pound weight loss though. I'd have to starve myself to do that. I WILL have loss weight by then. I already have lost a few pounds, just not enough.
I went to the gym today. I walked on the treadmill for an hour. I walked 3 miles! At an average speed of 3 miles an hour (DUH!) LOL!! I walked as fast 3.3 miles an hour for quite a while too. That's a pretty good start. I am pretty tired tonight, which normally leads to me not wanting to go again the next day.....But I AM GOING TO GO!!! I have to! I need to!
I wish I had someone to work out with. I know that would motivate me sooo much more. The truth is, I don't. I am alone in this. BUT......that is okay. A partner or not, It's time for me to serious. I don't want to look the way I do anymore.
I'm not sure how much I want to lose. Or even how much I can lose. I think the best thing to do is set small goals and work towards each one. I was a size 4 in High School. WOW!! I'm not anymore. Not going to say what size I am now, or how much I weigh, either. Technically I am 90-100 pounds overweight. Which is really weird to me. I don't think I LOOK that much overweight. At least most of the time. Until I see a picture of myself, then I can sorta see it. I say that I am that much overweight because that is how much I'd have to lose to put me back in the "norm" for a woman of my height and bone structure. I'd love to be a size 4 again. SOMEDAY!! But even losing 50-60 pounds would make me very happy.
Time to GET SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH KELLY! I know what you mean....all of it. Remember though, that you are not alone. Even if we don't work out together, we can still diet together. I'm all about that. I have extra WW materials if you want them. Some people have found my blog to be encouraging to them, so feel free to check in over there for encouragement, if you need/want it. I'll be on this track for a lonnnng time....come join me. We'll feel so great when we lose our "excess baggage". LOL.
