3 yrs out...what life is like for me

Jan 05, 2011

So I weigh in at 158.  My happy weight is 145 and I will see that again soon.  I have a closet full of clothes waiting on me to rejoin them! LMAO

Anyhow, so here's the goal...8 glasses of water...I have a hard time with that and so I will simply have to measure and choke it down.

For about 6 months I've been bad on my vitamins.  Yep, I've choked those down this morning already.  In 2 hours I get to do it again.

I'm saying "no" to bread, sugary treats, and anything that is mostly carb.  It seems hard but if I'm shoveling in the lean proteins then there's no room for junk.  So far today, I'm still working on my protein shake...I'm not a morning person. 

Reality for me is that I can eat most anything without dumping or pain.  I also can eat a simi-normal volume.  Most people I meet just assume I'm a regular person who isn't very hungry.  I homeschool my children and so grazing is WAY too easy.  I got into the habit of it because I was trying TO gain after slipping down to a weight that didn't look good on me.  Yeah, it was way to comfortable.  Now it's time for me to jump back into keeping track.  I will not be one of those people who ends up back at square 1.  I love the way my face looks and my boobs...cuz lets face it, those do suffer with quick and extreem weight loss.  I love that I look normal...ie...I have hair and healthy skin and not a bunch of saggy excess.  My face is not sunken.  We've all seen those people that you KNOW instantly they've had WLS.  They look like death!  So what do I want?  To drop 10lbs and 1 solid pant size...tone thighs and tone upper arms...a beautiful muscular back...and an ass that doesn't move by itself.  So instead of jumping into an exercise routine being SMO, I'm coming in from the world of normal.  Until now my exercise routine has simply been about moving.  You know, eliptical and walking.  Now I've got to get tough.  I want to be THAT person! 

My husband is fit...not buff but very into the cardio and long distance running.  I'm physically disabled (leg brace similar to people who have had polio...AFO) and so running is not an option.  So I can't join him as I'd like.  I have to seek my own path into fitness.

So here I go, invisioning long lean tone muscles and knowing they can be mine!
