Beginning of a New Chapter

Monday Monday......I'm usually sad when Monday rolls around, but today I look at life a new way.  I thank God for another day!  I'm excited to start this journey....while I was supposed to weigh in this morning, I didn't remember until I was all dressed and ready to walk out the door.  So tomorrow morning I will be gracing you with my beginning weight (I'm cringing as I write that, because it becomes real)  

On the Menu today....

Breakfast: Vanilla Greek Yogurt, 1C. Special K Yogurt/Berries, and a Bananna

Lunch: Home made chicken salad (with grapes/walnuts/light mayo) with bibb lettuce to wrap it up in, celery and an apple.

Snack: Carrots and an apple

Dinner: Had Spaghetti O's


Went home sick from work today :(  Sore throat, chills, and body aches 

So here is to the beginning of a new chapter of my life...

The Beginning

Do you ever get to the point in your life, where you tired of being sick and tired of something?  I think I have been in that place more than a few times in my life.  I get super frustrated with myself because I have lost the same 50-60lbs more than a few times.  And I always say to myself, this time is the time i'm going to do it and do it right!!  But this time it's different...i'm not going to do "it" and do "it" right...what i'm going to do, is do the best I can do.  I'm going to follow this plan from beginning to end.  There is no do-overs, no i'll do better next time, i'm at a point in my life that if I don't get a handle on my weight, it will completely spiral out of control.


I got married almost 2 years ago, and I had lost close to 70lbs before that day.  And it makes me cry to think about how much of that weight I have put back on.  My husband and I are thinking of starting a family at the end of the year, and to be very frank, I don't want to be FAT and be pregnant.  There are so many more health risks for the mother and baby when you are over weight.  So while I am doing this Body Revolution for myself, I am also doing it for my family.  I want to be a mother who can get up and down off the floor with ease, go to the park and run around with my children, and live an active healthy lifestyle.  


My husband and my parents are my biggest fans!  They are always in my corner when I say "I'm going to do this this time!!"  And this time I don't want to let myself down, or them.  My promise to them is that I will do the entire 90 day program and follow the food guide to a T!  I will update my blog daily even if i'm frustrated, or feel as if I have not done my best, this is a great way to keep my self accountable for my actions. 

I will be starting http://www.jillianmichaelsbodyrevolution.com/  as soon as it arrives in the mail!  I am super super excited to start this program and see how it can transform my body and life.  


You will be able to keep up with my weigh-ins, my workouts and the ups and downs of my journey with me.
