It is official. I have decided to go on a diet. I need to shed some pounds and tone up. My vice: mt. dew and gummy bears. Ugh! If I could kick these two little habits I would be golden. So I am gonna start by cutting back. As I learned when I was preggo with my kiddos, if I cut out the Dew all together I get the WORST headaches possible. And I have decided that there will be no more snacks while I am at school. Going to class at night has been hazardous for my waist :) Well, it really hasn't, but I am sure that it hasn't helped. I am one of a few that probably hasn't put on weight since I started, so I guess that is a start.
My goal is to loose at least 15lbs by Dallas' birthday which is the 23rd of May. I am sure that I can do this, I just gotta get my mind wrapped around the idea of working out. I need to put my DVD's to work. I have had Jillian Michaels 30day Shred, Carmen Electra's strip aerobics, and the Flirty Girl fitness tapes for a while. Some of these I have had for years, and they have either never been used, or used a few times. Heck, I stepped on my Wii the other day to do the Wii fitness and it said that it had been 292 days since I had been on it. WOW!! Guess I have been slacking off a little bit.
I figure that since I have been getting rid of some emotional baggage and I have been letting go of some much needed stressors in my life, that now it is time to work on myself and build my self esteem back up. It's nice having people tell you that you are beautiful, but if you don't feel it, then it is sort of an empty complement even thou that is not the intent of the person saying it to you.
So here is to Day 1.... :) Wish me Luck!!
