The Next Week

Ok I have grown sick to death of saying I am going to do this and I am going to that with regards to my weight and I don't do a darn thing. I only get chunkier and chunkier. I don't want something that is unattainable - I just want something I have done before. Only this time I am going to do it without fat burners and I AM going to do it. I am going to be happy with myself and not be a fat piggy moving to VA. I am going to switch my workout routine and maybe I won't be so bored. I am going to keep close watch on my diet as well. 1 free day to spulrge though I will be able to have a beverage with my husband on Friday night. I can't continue on this path or I won't be happy with myself - plus people look up to me and I don't want to let anyone down!! SO - I am going to stick with it - I can do this!

The Beginning

I've been complaining and complaining that I am not as in shape as I should be. Of course I've let my workouts getter easier and easier instead of staying after it and I have finall grown completely sick of it. Dan and I were in the bathtub last night and it was an embarrassment to see the blubber on my stomach and thighs. I always have problems with my thighs but this was terrible! So I have come up with a plan to change all of that. I don't want to be a chubby monkey when we move to VA - I want to look and feel good. Today was the first day I've felt good in a long time and I'm not sure why.
My nutrition plan is simple...eat smaller less calorie meals. I am going to allow myself to drink 1 beverage on Friday night and Sunday - Saturday I can have a few more. I should really limit my drinking but going from having one everyday to 3 times a week is a start.
My fitness plan will be posted every Monday morning for the week. I am going to do meduim weights and high reps to achieve that long lean look. I am going to check off my progress on this page each day to keep up with my workout routines. I want to tone and trim and I want to be able to fit in my Harley jeans for the summer! I want to be proud on that back of that bike!
No sure of the length of this fitness shape up but it will run at least 2-3 weeks - perhaps longer if I can keep myself going - I want to maintain!!
