Blah Blah Blogger Speaks (and you get the pictures):
Please come place your votes today for the name of my new project! **If you are in a reader, you will have to come to my site because it is in the sidebar.**
I am preparing to go meet with Laci at 9:15:
- I have my workout clothes on...the ugliest ones that I own because the cute ones don't fit anymore.
- I grabbed my favorite swimsuit that I have never fit into the way that I want to. I will be taking a world-famous, hideous picture in it this morning. UGHHH...
- I ate a healthy breakfast in hopes that I don't throw it up later.
- I have water.
- I only had ONE cup of coffee this morning. Who knows what more might do to me...I really haven't worked out since I became a coffee drinker. Could these two things be clinically linked?? Who knows...
I live in my sweats. I don't even care if I have make up on...ever. That may not change though. I am exhausted all the time. I have lost a ton of confidence in myself...not online of course, because you people can't see me. :) I am short tempered. Stressed. And the list goes on and on. I know these things will change. And I am excited about it!
Ok - well, come and vote. I need to get my rear in gear and go see Laci!
Shauna
I have a busy day scheduled today. But, I wanted to tell you about one of the first things on my agenda because I am super excited about it!
This morning, I am going to meet with my brand new personal trainer at ProActiveWorX, here in Flower Mound. Her name is Laci & I think we are going to have a love-hate relationship. What is exciting about all of this is that you, dear reader, are going to get a play-by-play of this whole process.
Laci & I will be documenting the whole transformation here and on burbmom.net.
Get ready for diary entries, menu plans, input from Laci, video blogs, pictures, pictures and more pictures. Ugh. You will really enjoy this. I, on the other hand, will be mortified at the number of pictures of me that will be on the world wide web. I am a big fan of the pretty picture of my face. **We are all aware of this.** But, I have a feeling some of these pictures will not be so pretty...or of my face.
{I really love this one of my face because it was taken a few years ago}
I digress...
One of the first steps of this process for me is deciding on a name for this "project". I have decided to let you come up with that for me! For the next few days, I would like to hear of any ideas that you have. Something catchy, funny, serious, whatever you think will best describe my journey!
I will, then, post my top 5 choices for you to vote on! Voting will also be held on burbmom.net!
Thanks for your help! Bring on the suggestions!
Ok - so I love this website.
Why did I ever pay to do WW Online, people? Yes, I know it is only $15.
But this is not $15.
It is $0.
Which doesn't even warrant a "$" sign. Just ZERO.
So here's the deal. To start this endeavor off, I ate entirely too little food today. I have a headache to show for it right now. But I feel skinnier...
I will do better tomorrow. One of the best things that My Pal does for me is it tells me where I am with Fiber, Protein, Calcium and some of the other important things that I need. I am not eating NEARLY enough nutrients in general.
This is not shocking. If you know me - you are probably shaking your head right now, as you are well aware of my empty and quite terrible diet. It is amazing that I haven't keeled over at the ripe age of 28.
But - as I am turning this corner in life - inching closer and closer to the big 3-0. I think I need to start taking care of this temple. I need to operate at full capacity. My kids definitely need that from me! And I think that I owe it to my Creator. I was created in the image of something holy and perfect - of course my sinful nature messes that all up - but I am determined to be physically better. Closer to how I know God intended me to be!
Ok - well that was a lot to get from my first day of My Fitness Pal participation. But it really is a great tool to help you get where you need to be - not just weight-wise but health-wise too!
I have been posting over the past few months about releasing some of my control. Or if I haven't been posting about it - I have been talking a lot about it. It is sometimes hard to keep track of the difference.
One area of my life that I had NO PROBLEM letting go of the reigns on was my physical fitness and eating habits. I did that about a year or so ago. BUT...that streak is over. NOW.
I need to take some control of it.
I did Weight Watchers a few years ago after Macy was born and I lost 20 pounds. I have the best things to say about WW - but I don't have the funds to partake right now. So - I am going to use a free online service called My Fitness Pal - Laura told me to give it a shot!. So - if I stay fat - we can all blame Laura, right?
I need some support here people.
If you know me in real life - take the cheeseburger away.
If you are my next-door-neighbor - don't bring me cookies.
If you are my neighbor, 1 street removed, don't feed me chips and homemade salsa on a Monday afternoon.
Sonic, only serve me Diet Dr.Pepper - not regular.
Kip, stop eating my Smart Choice frozen lunches for a snack.
Kids - eat all your dinner so I dont have to clean your plate.
And would someone tell me to get off the computer and go walk around the block or something! I commit to attending at least one CLASS at our GYM this week! And going to the gym at least 2 other times.
Thanks so much,
Fatty Signing Off....
