Announcement!

So today is a good day...Know why?

Because I am changing my life! I have started back on the journey of weight loss. It's a long, hard, bumpy, annoying road, but people I am going to do it! I am determined :)

Prior to my sister's wedding I lost about 20-30 pounds and that feeling of all my clothes not fitting, and getting the size smaller... O the wonderfulness! That is my future.

I have so many reasons to loose weight. Just thinking about them makes me excited. Just thinking about the weight I AM GOING to loose makes me ecstatic! I have blogged about this before, but alas here I am again.

The wonderful thing is...I know I can do this. I know I will do this!

I have never had something that motivated me like what I have now.

The plan is...Baby steps. Today my accomplishment. I didn't drink any coke. If you knew me personally you would know this is a feat indeed.

My goal for a week from today...Loose at least 2 pounds.. No big deal. That could just be eating better, Walking my dog, A little exercise, another day of no coke.

O man, You would think I would be dreading this. But I can't wait to prove to myself that I can and will resist the temptations before me.

I have been told some really smart things but these are the ones that encourage me through the next steps in my life...

"Once on the lips, Forever on the hips"
"Never think of dieting as a 'last' When you tell yourself this is your last coke, you begin longing for that substance. If you realize you will have one sometime..You can realize and ask yourself if this is truly worth it."

Best for last:

"Food never tastes as good as thin feels"

What an adventure to embark on :)
