I made a decision recently to stop making excuses. To take control of my health and make an effort to get my body to where it should be. It is not about a number. But it is about being healthy and active and strong. With my 32nd birthday fast approaching I realize that the older I get the more difficult it will be to lose weight. I don't want to put it off any more. I have a diet plan in place and I'm ready to do battle. I'm not going to lie, it's probably going to suck at first. But this diet shows fast results and I'm excited to get going. With my birthday trip to Boston just 3 weeks away I would love to drop a size (or two) before then. And then maybe a couple more after that.
Everyone deserves to feel good in their own skin. No one should feel limited by their weight.
The first few days of this diet they call "fat loading". Lovely, isn't it? It's pretty much exactly like what it sounds. You eat lots of unhealthy foods high in fat and calorie content in order to prepare for the meal plan portion of the diet. Believe it or not, I'm sort of dreading this part because eating foods like that for every meal makes me sick to my stomach but I'll do my best. Tonight I'm going to my favorite greek food place for a giant greasy gyro to kick things off. I'd love your support and encouragement throughout this process. And any tips or tricks you have are great too. I found this amazing website today that is totally packed with great articles and tips.
Wish me luck! Here's to a stronger, healthier, thinner me, a bright future and a better wardrobe.
Good luck... you can do it! I started getting healthy about 9 months ago... focusing only on getting healthy & not weight, but I'm down almost 50 lbs. I am a still long way from being "healthy" but I can see so many positive results from what I've done already. *go amanda go*
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! Way to get the ball movin'!!!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! Good for you for not putting it off until "Monday" like everyone else in the world.. And then Monday comes and we wait until the next Monday. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of you. Good luck my 'little girl'.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Dad
Awesome job, Amanda! If you need help or tips let me know. I used to be overweight and started going to the gym 2 years ago. I dropped 30lbs and now eat very healthy most of the time (not all the time, gotta have some treats!) and work out at home. Have you thought about joining a gym? A gym is a good place to start because it's hard to work out at home when you are beginning.
