Since the beginning of the year I have been saying I was going to go on a diet. It's June and I have done absolutely nothing!!! A dusty gym key and a batch of cookies baking in the oven, no wonder I can't loose weight. I always say eating right and working out is so much easier said than done...I am sure several people can relate :) My husband lost a ton of weight about two years ago and he manages to keep it off which leads me to believe men loose weight faster than women. I know my weakness (fast food and sweets) I have a plan (in my head) so why can't I just put it into action hmmm I am going to chalk it up to being lazy!!!

I am not over weight by any means, just have a few (cough 20 lbs) I would like to loose. If I woke up tomorrow 10 lbs lighter that would be great...don't see that happening. So today I have made a plan. I figured if I wrote it on my blog I would be more likely to go thru with it just because I want to prove I am not a lazy blob of flubber. HA! I took my first step today by taking a walk/jog this evening and I think I made it a little over a mile. Yay! It would help if I actually knew how much I weighed but I honestly don't. I would guess no more than 150...gosh I hope not anyway!!!! In my eyes my perfect weight is 135 which would put me in a size 5 or maybe smaller...it's been a little while.

The Plan:

My goal will be to weigh 135 by December 31st. I am going to start slow and see what happens.

The major things I want to work on now are...drinking more water, cutting out fast food and STOP SNACKING!!! Then I want to make an effort to do some type of work out 4 days a week. Walking, Jogging, going to the gym or laps in the pool. We will see how it goes, but I have decided that if I want the result I am going to have to do the work. It's not fun but I feel it is necessary. At least Mark goes to the gym a few days a week so I am going to tell him to FORCE me to go with him. The last 6 months every time he ask if I want to go to the gym I always make an excuse...LOL I am also going to try to go to bed earlier. I think some of my problem is I am exhausted all the time so even though I am a night owl and never go to bed early I am going to try. I will shoot for 11:30-12:00 every night besides the weekends ;)

So there it is...I am going to hold myself accountable!!! Geez I think of all the times people told me that when I got older I would start to put on weight. I laughed and thought not me.

So that's it for now. Hope everyone has a great weekend! I am planning on laying by the pool (and swimming) catching some sun and hopefully getting my 4 wheeler a little dusty. Have a good one!!!!
