186 days until my wedding!
Aug 25 2009 08:06

Only 186 days (6 months) until I get married! I need to get back into shape. Not only for my own self esteem, but also so that I look phenomenal in my wedding dress! I also want to do it for my fiance. I want to look great for him and feel great on our honeymoon. I need to remind myself of these things when I want to eat those 10 cookies or skip my workouts. I need to do it for my own benefits (looks, confidence, and health) and for my future husband.

Starting today I am changing my life. No more binge/restrict. If I want that cookie, I can have it... but I have to limit myself! If I want to skip my workout, then I have to make sure I eat very healthy that day and make my next day's workout even better.

I have to get the mindset that I don't have to starve myself and I don't have to binge. There is an equal medium between the two. If I mess up, that doesn't give me the right to mess up my whole day, week, or month! And it's not the end of the world. I just need to admit my mistake and get right back on track the next minute.

I am tired of being ashamed of my body. I am tired of feeling inferior to every other girl out there. I want to for once love the way I look. And not just for a day or week, but for a lifetime. I CAN DO THIS! I AM BEAUTIFUL!

A new year...
Jan 10 2009 11:23

So this year my New Year's Resolution had NOTHING to do with exercising, how much I weigh, etc...  But now that I'm getting older I know that I really need to take care of my body. Including exercising and what I eat. Starting today I am making a lifestyle change. Eating healthy, balanced meals and getting in a good workout at least 4-5 days a week.

I've always said i was going to "diet" and only eat so many calories, but that never works. I'm not going to deprive myself of the occasional treat because then I will just binge. If I have a craving for something, i will eat it in moderation. I will do my best to do some form of exercise each day, whether small or big. I want to live to see my children and grandchildren grow up and if i destroy my body, I won't.

It's my mission to live a healthy lifestyle and set an example for those around me :)
