The scale this morning placed me at a minus 50 lbs over the course of five months (but I posted that major milestone a long, long time ago). I've since started working out and while I've appreciated people telling me - oh, you always gain weight when you start working out ... I know that it's also the carpy eating I've been doing. Well, that bs is over.
And I have all of you to thank. I spend a ton of time reading yesterday and got so inspired by all of your hard work that I realized that I needed to do the same HARD WORK.
Getting back to the basics: protein first and shooting for 90 grams per day. Water - 100 oz per day. Exercise - get to that fancy-schmantzy gym you love so much four times a week and start using these walking, dancing, biggest looser dvds that are just collecting dust.
Besides, once the real Jan 1 arrives, I'll already be set !
Here, here! I too am inspired by how well people are doing but finding it hard to get motivated to do the hard work that's necessary. Will definitely be working on this in the next couple weeks to gear up for the new year. I need a plan!
ReplyDeleteman, 90g of protein? how in the heck can you get that high??? I'm impressed!
ReplyDeleteI so adore you and perhaps if one of you has an iPhone I can face time in with you girls. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteI don't miss living in MI, but I seriously cannot wait to see you both when I come back in July/August.
Also - I know you are on the right path. Love ya!
Any day can be the start of a new and terrific year if we choose to make the smart choices. And we will do it and make our goals in 2012. I know that we both will.
ReplyDeleteSO jealous you get to see Maria. Have a blast! And keep each other accountable at dinner. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the goals you're setting for yourself. Totally attainable!
Love the goals! Happy New Year! :)
