A New Leaf

I am done.

I am tired of clothes not fitting, and I just don't want to go out and buy new ones! 

I like the ones I have.  I need to fit into them again.

My low weight was almost a year ago at 158, I am now at 173, and have hit 175 depending on water weight.  I'm super disappointed in myself, but I have had a lot going on.  Anyway.  It's time to be honest.  I put my "new" weight in my phone app today and I'm excited to see the numbers slowly shrink.
So, it's a new leaf today.  I'm getting back to this blog and I'm hoping to start up a little email chain to encourage and support people.  It's totally true, if your surround yourself with people that have a similar goal, as you see them make progress, it makes you want to make progress.

SO, today I worked out.  I still have my cold, so I don't want to go all crazy, I did some youtube stuff (lots of great workout videos on youtube -- I especially like this channel).  I am aiming for 30'ish minutes 3 times/week plus one walk with a friend and hopefully one dance party.

BUT, this week's goal is to spend 1 minute each day visualizing how it feels to be hungry, and to be full and to throw food away.  My plan is still to eat what I want, when I'm hungry and to stop when I'm full.  I know it sounds dumb, but it helps me to realize that I can do it.  The goals don't have to be giant, just a measurable goal.

If you'd like to be part of my email group please email me, or comment here with your email addresses (don't put your read address, write it all out like thisismyemailatgmail.com -- got it?).

We can do this, I NEED and want to do this.  Will you do it with me?
