First of This New Year

Where am I?  Still weighing more than I should.  Still not exercising enough and I really need to step it up.  I signed up for the Cooper Rover Bridge Run this year...to walk with a friend and that day will soon be here.  If I do not start walking daily, I will have to cancel out.  I will not be able to make it. 

That's bad.  I can do more but now, just not that motivated.  I used to be.  I used to be a gym rat that spent about 2 hours daily at the gym.  Loved every minute of it.  I can see that immobility is a vicious cycle.  If you do not get off the couch, you do not WANT to get off the couch. 

I feel  a personal intervention is needed.  I need to do better.  It will be a daily challenge but I need to get the exercise in  daily. I need to shoot for daily because some days due to my work schedule I will  not make it. 

I still have a closet full of skinny clothes.  I will not get rid of those.  They are what I will be wearing when I loose the pounds.  I just gotta get off the sofa.  I just gotta!

Motivation Escapes Me!

I am always motivated. In my mind. Or at least I think I am. But then I do so good for a few days, I loose my focus and in goes the bad food. As soon as I eat it I remember! I stop, often spitting it out. I want it to become second nature....no more anything sweet. I guess it will always be a struggle but I so wish it were not.

I want the easy way I guess and nothing in my life has been easy. It always has been hard and often times impossible seeming. I want it easy...just for a little while.

What's My Motivation?

Okay, I just realized that in 2008 it will be my 30th high school reunion. In the past I have gone to all of them except the last one...25 years. I had gained weight and did not want to go. I have lost since then, but I do not want to go as I am now. I was a skinny mini in high school. I know it will not be possible to be that yougn whipper snapper again. We have all aged, but I want to be thin. It is now September and the reunion is normally in May of June. SO that let me know the time frame I have. I have to step up my game because I want to walk in thin and in a knock em dead evening gown! It's on. If I was not motivated before, I certainly am now.
