Time to make some changes...

I stepped on the bathroom scale at my parent's house (I refuse to have one in my house) this weekend.  It flashed a number at me.  I stepped off and let it clear.  I stepped back on.  Flashed the same number.  I repeated this process once more.

I am two freaking pounds away from what I weighed just before I delivered my last child.  TWO!!

I gotta say the temptation to try to flush the scale was rather overpowering.  Talk about depressing.  It's not the scale's fault though.

I don't exercise.  Mostly because I don't really enjoy it.  I did the Tae Bo thing in high school P.E.  That was fun until my knee would dislocate.  Happened twice.  I've done Curves.  But I don't like to exercise in front of other people.  I have lots of jiggly bits.

I don't put forth much effort to eat healthy either.  I was never the kind of girl to opt for a salad (I do like salads) when I could have prime rib.  The hubby liked that when we went to the Highway House for dinner on prom night I had meat!

I've been trying to grow my hair out for almost a year now.  It's frizzy and breaking.  Probably due to my frequent color changes and my the crummy way I take care of my body.

So it time to make some changes.

First up-the hair.  It's getting chopped off tomorrow.  Really, I'm a short hair person and I need to just accept that.

I'm giving myself until school starts to eat what I want and continue to be a couch potato.  I found a bunch of exercise videos that I can watch via Netflix on the Xbox.  And they look fun too!

I'm 29 and I shouldn't be constantly tired.  I have three kids to keep up with and I NEED energy.

I'm starting at 198 lbs...they say admittance is the first step, right?  My goal is 150 lbs.  Wish me luck!  I'm gonna need it!

  3. You go, Girl! Dieting is no fun, but neither is feeling tired and draggy all the time. (Believe me, I know- I have years of experience! LOL) I have faith in you. You CAN do this! ((hugs))
