It's been four months today that I decided to change my life, to become a better, healthier person. Four months today that I decided that I was not going to live one more day feeling horrible about myself. And I am so glad that I made that decision! It has not been an easy road by any means, but one that has been well worth every effort. I never want to go back! Okay, well some days I wish I could just eat whatever I want and not care, but for the most part I am honestly enjoying my new healthier lifestyle. In fact, while I was on vacation even though I decided that I could have whatever I wanted guilt free, I really missed my healthy food. I just felt so heavy and bogged down after every meal. Don't get me wrong, it was tasty and I enjoyed most of it, but it really made me aware of the changes that I have made! That was a big milestone for me!!
Now that I am back from vacation I have decided to set a new goal. According to the Wii, a healthy weight for me is 145lbs. So, that is what I am aiming for by my birthday. That means I need to lose about 13lbs in 6.5 weeks. I think it's do-able. If I reach it great, and if not that's okay. I weigh less now that I ever have as an adult. That is just amazing to me. And more importantly I would really like to get in shape which means exercise, exercise, exercise!!!
The most exciting news I have for this week is that my husband, Andy, has finally decided to make a change in his life too!!! He recently went to the doctors and had to take tests for possible diabetes. I think that has him scared. On top of that he sees how good I feel and he wants that too! I am so happy that he's finally at this point where he's willing to go for it! We all know how hard it is to give up our old eating habits and replace them with healthy choices. That is what is going to be hard for him as well. I just hope that I can be an encouragement to him and help him in this journey.
Hope everyone has a happy and healthy week!
