I've officially decided to take the plunge and make my weight loss journey official. I am hereby declaring that by my next birthday (June 3, 2015) I will be down at least 40 pounds. This is a lofty goal, but I need to do it.
My Why:
1) Miss Little - my little girl is the number one reason I need to get healthy. I do not ever want her to look at me and be embarassed or concerned for my health. I want to ride on fair rides with her without wondering if we will both fit. I want to practice sports with her. I want to be an example for her on what a healthy life looks like.
2) Myself - I need to do this for me. I fear if I continue on my current path I will end up sick. I want to be healthy enough to enjoy life. I deserve healthy.
3) My Better Half - I want to go old with my amazing husband and I want him to grow old with me. This journey will not be one I take alone, but one we walk together.
My How:
This is still TBD, but determination will be key. I anticipate calorie counting will be important, at least when starting out. I know I am more likely to succeed if I am being accountable. Finding time to exercise will be essential to my success. If anyone has any tips on things that have worked great for them, please share with me.
