Standing on the edge, dippin my toes…
Okay…So I think I have formulated a plan…
This is how I roll…
I am typically a big picture kinda gal…Always need a plan…
So I have been trying to find my way back to the motivation weight loss revolution…And have sadly failed…
Analyzed it to death…
Discussed it amongst my closest friends…
And I have no answers really as to whats keeping me imobile…
I am happy…Life is basically good.
And while I am proud of maintaining 75% of my weight loss, I am simply not happy with how I look.
I went to a beer tasting last night where there were two other beer gals there…Both in their mid 20’s. One, PROBABLY a size 2, the other, taller, but probably an 8 tops…
I felt like the proverbial elephant in the room…
This was the first time in a long time where my confidence was at an all time low…UGH…
For the last two years, even on bad days, I was able to maintain my confidence…
Last night, not so much…
I feel like I kind of just faded into the couch when sitting next to these two…
I HATE THAT FEELING…For I know inside I am a strong, beautiful, sexxxy woman…UGH…
So. Its time.
The only one to blame is me.
The only one that can fix me, is me.
So.
I made a plan.
I have not exercised regularly in WEEKS.
Have not counted calories in MONTHS.
Have not journaled in MONTHS.
BAD BAD BAD.
These are all key elements to my success…
So. I am bringing them all back today.
And instead of my usual BIG PICTURE GLOBAL THINKING…
I am thinking smaller…Baby steps…One freakin day at a time…
I am giving myself a two month goal. Two months from today. August 30th.
Two months. 60 days. However I need…
Surely, TWO MONTHS sounds MUCH better than LIFETIME…
For the next two months I will:
- Journal EVERY DAY every morsel good or bad in my mouth.
- I will stay 100% on plan (1200-1300 calories) Monday through Friday
- I will shoot for 75% on the weekends
- I will exercise for a MINIMUM of 45 minutes 5 days a week
- I will blog at least once a week.
These are all things I can do.
These are all things I USED to do.
This is NOT new, unchartered territory…
But, I think to myself, SURLY I can go without for two months…That is nothing…
And at the end, if I stick to my plan, there is no reason why I should not be down a minimum of 10 pounds and GOD WILLING more…
Here I go…
Baby steps…
Wish me well…
Firstly I want to say that your pics look amazing and i’m glad you’re proud of maintaining your losses. Secondly well done for realising what works for you and acting to make the improvement to yourself that you want to.
Just seeing your before & after pics is an inspiration, as is seeing you choosing to come back with positive goals.
I look forward to joining you on your journey.
well…that sounds like a good plan to me! I can’t even do that
:) Well..i guess I could if i really tried. Anyway, I know how you feel…sometimes I look around at all my friends from highschool and wonder “how in the heck to they stay so skinny?”. But don’t compare yourself to others or else you’ll get exhausted. lose weight for you! 
good luck with the new plan!
Awesome plan and you CAN do it!
