I got a scale for Christmas (ours broke quite a while ago).
It's about a number now.
I paid $20 for a neighborhood Biggest Loser... it starts Jan 12. I'm starting Jan 1.
I keep finding the 20-some-odd pounds I lose every time. I think maybe this time? YES! For sure, this time I will keep it off!! :)
Any of you sisters/in-laws/cousins/friends/strangers want to join this year??
My plan -
1. No soda's - Diet or otherwise. I did a little water challenge a few weeks ago and since then I have had three 32 oz. Diet Dr. Peppers and a couple of 12 oz. cans. (I could EASILY down that much in a single day... so, this is pretty big!) I will replace the soda with WATER... I will drink 8 to 10 glasses of water every dang day.
2. Track my food intake - I guess it will be kind of like Weight Watchers but without points. The program has changed from when I did it back in 2008... I don't want to sign up again. I want to lose 50 pounds (That is DOUBLE what I lost last time, plus a couple of pounds) by June (we're going to California for a week) and my little "Lose It" app I downloaded says to do that I can have 1,327 calories per day. If I exercise I get more!! Woo HOO!!
3. Exercise - Like Daily. Except Sunday. I just printed this and will be hanging on my fridge, "Food Is The Most Abused Anxiety Drug. Exercise Is The Most Underutilized Antidepressant." Do I believe it? No, not really. I don't FEEL a whole lot better after I have exercised, but - I realize I need it. Even if it's 10 minutes of pushups/sit-ups/lunges... I will intentionally MOVE my body. I also believe I'm very much an emotional eater... and any emotion will do. I eat when I feel happy, sad, mad, nervous, anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, overscheduled, bored, defiant, social or even nothing at all. My treat of choice - chips and soda... mmmmm.
I will weigh in every Thursday (because it's Jan 1 and I'm like that). I'm hoping to have lost at least 3 pounds since last Thursday! I had better... because depriving myself of soda HAS to be worth it!!
I love you ladies! I want us to be here and healthy for a very long long time!
Good Luck!
We have tried this before, we will try it again - until we get it right.

First Weigh In 2014
I don't want this to be so much about "weight" and "numbers" as I want it to be about "feelings" and "health"...
But, how do I measure that?
The Scale... Blah!!
First Week: minus 2 pounds.
Not as big as last time first weigh in... but, I only changed a couple of things this past week so I'll take it.
Did I mention I'm an emotional eater? Well, I am. This week has been full of stress, excitement, fear, anxiety, relief, happiness etc. I eat for all of those special occasions. Yay Me!
Here's to next week! Maybe I'll work out a time or two? Eh... maybe not.
Love you guys!
