It starts...

So yesterday was our first weight in... well, second. Yes, I lost four lbs since my last weigh in BUT not really because the very first time I "weighed in" I was 129 then I gained 3 lbs and lost it again so now I'm 128! OIG!! Chad is going to do this with me and I'm really excited about that. This will help me a lot because now we can go workout together!! YAY!! He doesn't know the extent of his commitment yet though BUT he will find out today when I measure him tonight :). I'm going to post before and after pictures soon! I'm sure NO ONE is seeing this anyway so I won't have to feel so embarrassed about what I look like. HOWEVER, no worries my friends, NONE of the really reveling befores will be showed until AFTER!!! WHEN I'm BETTER LOOKING... I don't have the guts to do that yet! BUT I will post some before... and then some after! For both Chad and I! I'm excited!

My Story!

So I wrote this whole big story about myself and my weight loss and then decided I didn't want to write a whole huge story. Sometimes you just want to lose weight and feel great just because you do... and although my weight has ALWAYS been a big concern for me (justified or not) I've never been heavier than 145 (and that was only one time. Oh the freshman 15!!) so I don't have much to complain about. BUT I will say this: I've ALWAYS been self conscious of my body! I've never worn a bathing suit without a shirt or shorts to go over it. NEVER!!! Whether I loss weight or not it is time to stop being so self conscious and love the skin I'm in!! So this is what this whole thing is, an attempt to love me for me and feel good doing it!!!

Long term GOALS:
I want to weight 108 lbs. BUT more so I want to fit into 4 to 6 size pants AND I want to feel good wearing a bathing suit without shorts or a shirt! If I can do that, I don't care if I'm 8,000 lbs, I will feel FREE!!! Learn what "healthy eating" really is. What is good and not so good for my body!

Monthly goals:
Don't get discouraged about how fast or SLOW my results are... work out and eat healthy everyday! Even if all I do to work out is go on a walk I just want to do something! By small and simple things are great things brought to pass! Learn how to a life time change. Just a 5lb weight loss a month would be ideal!

Weekly goals:
Exercise even when I don't want to. Keep motivating myself. If that means putting on my pants that don't fit so I keep motivated that is what i will do! Try something new! New food, new exercise, new... something!

Daily Goals:
Exercise. Eat Breakfast, snack, Lunch, Snack, Dinner, Snack... HEALTHY snacks. Don't eat pass 8:30. Drink 66 oz of water a day!

These are my goals!
Good Luck to me!

Told you I was Serious!!

So my sister in law told me about one of her friends who was losing weight and told me to look at her blog. I did... and it was really awesome! SO here I am, I'm going to follow in her footsteps and show my results on my blog! I feel good about this, I think it will work! SO if you want to join in my weight loss adventure... LET'S DO THIS!!!
