Let's get this party started...

RIGHT NOW!!!!!  It is time to stop making excuses and get rid of this extra weight I have gained.  I set a date to start, August 15th.  I woke up this morning wondering what I was waiting for.  10 more days to cram all the fattening food I can into my mouth?  10 more days to sit on the couch eating chocolate and ice cream? 10 more days of dozing off in the middle of the day because I have no energy?  Why not start today and in 10 days see what a difference it made?!?!

I got on the scale this morning and weighed in at 169.6.  This is an all time high for me.  I have managed to gain almost 40 pounds in the last 22 months.  It is time to get serious about what I put in my mouth and put my treadmill to use.  With all the kids going back to school next week, I have no excuse for not taking care of myself. 

I have tons of motivation today but, I know me and a week or two down the line......well, that will be another story.  I have to do this for me.  I want to have my energy back.  I want to want to get off the couch and do something.  Additionally, I want to fit back into my clothes.  I have 3 bags of clothes in the attic that I really like and I would love to be able wear them.  Last winter I did not wear half the clothes in my closet because they were all too tight.  This year will be a different story.

So, fasten your seatbelts.  This is going to be a bumpy ride!!
