I used to be a skinny girl…

Over the years, I’ve become comfortable with myself (supposedly), a little less active, a little more open to diet choices I would never have made as a skinny girl… and as a result… I guess more open to moving up a size in the dress department.

For the past two years, I have paid lip service to wanting to loose weight. OK… not being too hard on myself there have been times where I have tried harder than others.These past 10 years, yikes, I’ve gained around 25 pounds. Just typing that makes me a little crazy. How the heck did that happen???

Over the past year, I’ve been working on some decisions that would impact my life, our finances and my health. Don’t worry, in the end it’s all good. The journey to making the decisions has been difficult.

Making this decision to commit to weighing less has reached the easy point (:) I’ve been pondering for sometime). With some bubbling health issues and nearing 50, it’s time for some life changes. For the next half of my life. For me.

My weight jumps about 5 pounds, guess that everyone’s does. This path isn’t just about weight loss, it’s also about continuing the path to being a healthy person, to being a strong person physically and mentally. So the goal is to loose some fat and gain some muscle.  That was a long winded way of saying that I’m going to loose 15 pounds on my scale in 3 months, by September 12. A reasonable goal, I think.

Goal: Weigh 145 lbs

Deadline: September 12

Making the decision is easy. Now it’s about living it…

Bring. it. on.
