D-Day is January 1, 2019
This entry is preemptive. I am gearing up for some major life changes that start on January 1st. Not the least of which is "miracle mornings," in that I will be waking up every day at 5 a.m. and blogging every morning among other things.
We leave for Florida on January 14th. I'll probably blog from the airport. I would very much like to recap the entire trip for memories' sake, including pictures. I've been pretty bad in the past about keeping up with blogging on the regular, but since I am making it part of my everyday routine I am hopeful that it will change.
Other major changes include: going to the gym on a regular basis, logging all of my food with WW, drinking 100 ounces or more of water every day, and gradually reducing caffeine until I am able to eliminate it completely (which I've already started -- I gave up coffee almost two weeks ago now!).
My goal, or resolution (defined as a firm decision to do or not to do something) if you will, for 2019 is that I am going to become healthy. I am going to become strong. I am going to lose weight and become active. I'm very tired of my weight holding me back from my life. I am tired of it dictating what I can and cannot do. I am tired of worrying about my size, more than just some vanity standpoint, but from the standpoint of not being able to fit into things. I don't want to have to think about that when I want to ride a roller coaster. I don't want to have to struggle to find jammies my size for Christmas and end up having to wear the men's ones because there aren't any that fit me. I am tired of it. I want a baby. I want to feel strong. I want so much from my life that I can't have at my size and my fitness level.
I feel a complete shift in my mindset. I feel a fundamental change in myself. I am ready. I am willing. I am going to do this. I am going to start by making changes that I know have to be made. I am going to be the person I want to be, the person I know I can be. This year I turn 33. I decided long ago that once I turned 35 I wouldn't get pregnant after that. That gives me a year and a half to lose weight and a year to get pregnant. These two things are the ONLY thing I want to focus on for the next two and a half years. They are my main priorities.
I am hoping to blog daily along the way. I don't think it will be focused on weight loss, but on my life, as it happens and everything that means. I am going to use Instagram for a tool in my weight loss journey. I plan to document food, workouts, progress, etc. on that. I am thinking I might create a new account so I am not showing all my high school friends my "before" pictures while it is still during, or bombarding their feed with pictures of my food.
Well I guess that's all for my "prep" post, I will be back on here on January 1, and every day after.
