lovetracee is going grocery shopping

lose 70 lbs (read all 2 entries…)
holiday pictures are my awakening 9 months ago

i’ve always been self-conscious, but sometimes i can just forget about what i look like and go on like nothing is wrong. and then i catch a glimpse of myself in a picture that is truly disgusting. i don’t even recognize myself anymore, and i’m tired of trying to cover myself up with a sweatshirt all the time. i don’t ever feel pretty anymore. anyway, i’m tired of it all and i’m going for the rest of the weight that i’ve been slacking on. 70 lbs. may sound extreme, but it still puts me 4 lbs. above my minimum healthy weight. i know i can do this.

i am going to update montly with results, fallbacks, or revelations, heh. i’d rather break it down that way. i think it makes it more manageable, and it doesn’t seem like an impossibility.

so….here i go again. back on track, i hope. for good!

Hang in there!

You can do it! Knowing you’ve got an issue and putting it on the list is the first step.

Trying to accomplish anything with small children under foot is a major ordeal – but if you go in tiny steps, you can sneak in some healthy food and exercise throughout the day. And as you start losing, you’ll be feeling better, looking better, being healthier – and a healthier you will be a better you for your kids and husband, too. But as much as your husband and children will benefit, do it for Yourself. That’s the only way to really keep it off.

60 little ONE minute of excercise adds up to an hour a day. An hour a day adds up to 7 hours a week. THAT is a LOT of exercise! But let’s say 10 minutes is all you sneak in a day – that is STILL an hour and 10 minutes more excercise in a week than you would have done.

Today is a Good Day to start taking care of yourself! Go for it! (Ok, now time for ME to get off of the computer and go for my morning walk – my kids are all grown up, so it is definitely easier for me to lose weight this time around! 10 lbs down, 20 to go… but the goal for THIS week is ONE pound. I am easily overwhelmed. ONE pound I can do. The fact that I needed to lose 30 lbs is too daunting to think about!)

Take care!
