Today is the first day of the rest of your life... Or, so they say. And I guess it is for me. I have began and ended this journey SO many times in the past. But yesterday, I looked on the scale and saw a number I've never seen before. And I'll say it, because you don't know me and right now, I can be completely anonymous (and there are no pictures to prove this!). I saw 262 lbs. I've hit my rock bottom. This is officially the most I've ever weighed in my whole life (including when I was full-term pregnant with my kids). And despite what, I feel, has been a good "effort" on my part to not go overboard with snacking and junk food, it seems as though I have done just that. I know what I need to do. I've done it before. It's time for me to get off the couch, lace up my shoes and get to work. It's a long, hard road, but it works. And I know I can do it. And this time, I really want it. I am tired of being so tired and feeling like crap all the time. All I want to do is sleep. And tonight, I have heartburn for the first time in about five years. I used to get it all the time, but lost some weight and ate healthier and it went away. Now it's back and I think it has added to my wake up call. I know my best bet to cut a significant amount of weight in a pretty short amount of time is to cut out sugar. Plain and simple, it's my biggest weakness. I'm going to try to take it a day at a time cutting out sugar. It will be SUPER hard, but I will try.
Plan for Day 2:
* Have a smoothie for breakfast. Banana, blueberry, strawberry, spinach, oatmeal, and chia.
* Complete 30 minutes of cardio (or 2 episodes of Friends!)
* Drink water all day. Sorry, coffee, you're gonna have to go :(
Non-health related goals:
* Do 3 loads of laundry
* Give the dog a bath
* Make love to my husband (although, I guess this one could count as health related...)
* Make a dent in the kitchen mess
