Lettin it all hang out.....
So I've spent the good part of 2 years trying to finally loose weight. I got the first 30lbs off and then just lost momentum. I've maintained the loss which is shocking considering my addiction to Mexican food but regardless I'm thankful ! Ive said all along that if you aren't mentally ready to push forward with changing how you eat and your workouts you won't be able to stick to any plan. Its the most mentally challenging thing Ive ever been through. It annoys the crap out of me when someone who weighs a whole 100 lbs looks at you like " Its not hard " or " Just stop eating so much ". Just like any habit in your life , changing the way you look at food takes time. I told myself from the beginning that I wasn't doing it with pills or by starving myself. I've watched so many friends use pills or crazy crash diets and they are constantly loosing 20 gaining 20 , repeat. While you're young this may seem easy but ask women in there late 30's or older what that does to your body. It makes it impossible to loose weight when you're older.
So, after alot of prayer and mentally trying to prepare myself its time to get back on the wagon. Diet wise I'm going to stick to weight watchers , its what works. The part I'm not so sure about it exercise. Thankfully in both these areas I have a partner in crime. I am blessed to have a supportive man in my life who also wants to shed some excess and who is ready to get back on the wagon as well. We have been debating over P90X , Insanity , or good old fashion going to the gym. The part that is hard to even think about it we need to do it at 6am. Its the only way we can ensure consistency . We both lost weight before we met , he used P90 and I used the gym. So we are thinking its time to try something new and go for Insanity. I watched a little of the DVDS yesterday and had to take a nap after because it looked so exhausting.
This afternoon will be workout 1 , we shall see how it goes ! I had considered posting weight , measurements , etc that way I'd be mortified and it would force me to keep up with this but lets be real people.....theres no way I'm telling the world what I weigh. This will be the test....a friend of mine used to call me Big Mama , he nows calls me Medium Mama .....I"m now shooting for lil mama !
There are alot of big things coming in 2011 and I wanna be at my best. Granted itll probably take me to 2020 to get to my ideal size but whatever :)
