Today.
Today, I am making a promise to myself. Today, no more putting it off. No more self-sabotage. No more, “I’ll start eating healthier/working out tomorrow.” Nope. No more.
I’ve basically gained back nearly all the weight I lost. It’s really embarassing for me to say that, but I need to be accountable. I had lost 17 pounds…13 of which are back. Unacceptable. But…it’s life, and sometimes life happens that way.
Today, I’m done beating myself up over it. You know what? So I gained 13 pounds…who the hell cares! I’ve lost the weight once (hell, several times), and I can do it again. Today all that changes. I’m back to counting calories. I went on a 2.75 mile walk this morning and it felt FANTASTIC! I had an amazing breakfast of healthy apple cinnamon quinoa. I have some fantastic veggies in the fridge for lunch (with some tasty hummus), and a dinner planned out already. I’m on my second glass of water this morning, and I’ve already gotten in 6000 steps. Today, it’s time.
So, I’ll be back to blogging a bit more about my weight, since that seems to be the best way for me to be accountable. This will NOT turn into a weight loss blog, however, as I don’t want it to consume my life (and frankly, it shouldn’t). I’ll try to post about weekly weigh-ins, but that’s about it.
Thanks for reading, everyone…your comments really help me out a lot and I do appreciate each and every one of you.
XOXOXO,
K.

Good for you!
I’m totally with you on this!! I have about 10 pounds to lose and i’m on a mission! We can do this!!!
Me too! We can all motivate each other
Good luck, and congrads on your resolution. (:
Thank you for the quinoa recipe. It looks like a nice alternative to oatmeal. I tend to cook quinoa the same way every time, and never thought of it in a more sweet/less savory use.
don’t let it dominate your life but stay focused on what you need to do to lose the weight. I have no doubt that you will do it.
