I was doing ZUMBA today and If you do not know what that is it is pretty much dance aerobics to latin or columbian music. Super fun. The teacher is so tall and beautiful and skinny and has 6 pack abs and guns my hubby would envy! So I am standing there shaking my booty (big booty) and I know what I want my body to do, but I just can not make it. So I'm looking at myself in the mirror trying to shake my rump, and realizing that I am in total denial about my weight. I am. Today I just had to take a hard look at myself. Why am I overwheight? Well first of all I know when it was that I gained all this weight and it was during a very hard time in my life after Ethan was born, but come on that was almost 8 years ago! So what is my excuse? I am an emotional eater. And I love fat and dairy blah blah blah. It's my fault.
so lets get REAL here. I work out and work out and "diet" all the time. And I sit here and complain that I am not loosing a pound and feel so sorry for myself. But it is really my fault. MY FAULT. I eat to much, my serving portions are as big as my husband. I think I got in that habbit when I was pregnant and starving and it just became the norm. Also I drink soda. It is diet, but it is still soda. Also I snack alot and tend to eat very high fatty foods. I am trying to revamp a lot in my life and this needs to be one. Corey has been on a mission and he has lost 20 lbs so far and is starting to train for a marathon. Now I just can't have him start to look all hot and know that when we are walking around together people are saying "why is HE with HER?" o.k. they probably are not but that is how I would feel.
What is the POINT???
Well I want to put it out here for anyone who wants to join me. I want to loose some weight and I want to start a little on line group of people who will start to do some challenges with me read articles I think are interesting and report each week on our progress. Maybe by putting this out there and being accountable to someone and possibly helping others I might actually loose something. I NEED to.
For my children, for my health, and for myself.
Do this: leave me a comment if you want or are interested in doing this with me. We will do it one week at a time and take baby steps to a healthier body and mind and spirit. Do NOT be afraid. you do not have to post your weight, only your progress or not. share your stories, your down days, your accomplishments & inspire others. Cause lets face it...the GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE, and we all need to support eachother. It think it helps to know other people struggle and to hear their stories.
This week just leave me a comment if you are interested in participating. PLEASE I need someone to do this with me. Starting next monday I will post our weekly challenge for body, mind, and spirit and post "MY STORY"
YOU CHALLENGE THIS WEEK: Decide if you want to live healthier! :)

That's a funny cartoon, Keri! LOL
Hey, I don't know if this would interest you or not, but I work in the health and wellness industry with a company that designs nutritional cleansing and fat-burning systems.

The video on the top left of the page describes one of the systems, and is the one I used to shed two jean sizes in two weeks. I use a different system now to keep myself in check.
I hope that is helpful to you. Best wishes to you on becoming healthier!
count me in :)
YAY! Chelon, thanks. at least I have one person interested. HAHA thats cool I am sure there are others. I am going to do this anyway because I think a lot of people will benefit even if they don't want to publicly.... anyways I am excited about it.
Hey Keri, I'm with ya!! I've got the treadmill, I've got my diet food, now all I need is to stop wanting bad food everytime life gets stressful! I'm an emotional eater too, I totally feel your pain. Dave's in too! He'll do it if I do it. Awesome for Corey!
Girl from your blog pics you still look like that hot girl in high school.
You are my hero! I love you and I know you can do it!!! I think you are so beautiful the way you are, but I also support you in what you want to do! You go girl!! I love you!
I love too lose some weight!!
My problem is I have no time to exercise. The first minute of the day I get to myself is at about 9pm when the kids are asleep. I cant go to the gym as that requires a babysitter, and gym's that have day care only have it till 1pm on working days. (Only catering for the stay at home mum not the single working full time mum) I can’t power walk as I would have 2 complaining and slow children following behind. I need a strict DIET!!
Okay Okay Okay- I really want to commit to do this but I am secretly afraid of failing. I have done WW in the past and successfully lost 50 lbs. so I know I CAN do it, I just have to commit to it and do it.
I am a bit like Liss though when it comes to exercise. I am sure it sounds like an excuse but I am up for some suggestions on finding a way to exercise with 3 little kids around who constantly require my attention. I, too need a strict diet and have to stick to it. I will probably do WW again as it seemed to work for my lifestyle, etc.
Okay- all the girl scout cookies are gone and I am going to officially start next week - when i get rid of the rest of the really bad junk food in my house and go shopping for some better food.
Here's to a new skinny ME. No one would believe I once had a smoking hot swimmers body.
