Well, the scales showed a 4.2 pound improvement this morning. Woo Hoo! Only a billion more to go, but hey, you have to start somewhere! It's so funny the mindset you get in when you're trying to get in shape...4.2 is so awesome and yet I think, man, why couldn't it have been 5? Seriously? I need help:)
So the week was a good one...was slightly under points everyday and did really good with drinking water, which I hate so I'm proud of that (I am a diet coke LUNATIC - yea, I'm the one with the fries and dessert and a DIET coke, haha). This week's goal is more exercise. It's really hard finding the time but I'm working on it. Having a baby really tests your time management but I have to learn sometime-he's not going anywhere!
A lot of people that decide to get back in shape, lose weight, get fit, etc. come to that decision through an epiphany, a big event that smacks them across the face and wakes them up, whether it's a comment someone made, a picture or not fitting into a favorite pair of jeans. I've had a few of those....for me I don't think it was one thing that has led to this but rather a compilation of many. I thought I would end this and the next few posts with a few of those just to help keep me focused on this project of reinvention.
So a few years ago my husband sponsored a boy (I'll call him Justin) through Big Brothers Big Sisters. We took him to a Crew game here in Columbus. We were having a blast! We had great seats pretty much to ourselves, the weather was great, it was a good day. All of a sudden I looked up at the big screen and there was Justin! I nudged him and pointed, telling him "Look! It's you!" and then I found myself thinking 'But who is that next to you??...' and it took about 3 seconds for me to realize that the blob sitting next to him was yours truly. I seriously did not even recognize myself...I even glanced to Justin's opposite side to see if someone I didn't know had sat down next to him. What a shock that was. I will never forget how I felt that day!!
I am so glad to be taking this step..I never want to feel that way again. This is just the beginning for me. Just you wait:)
