I am changing my behaviors and I know this is a great challenge ahead of me, but I know the reward at the end will be worth it. And no, that reward is not just reaching some magical number on the scale, but I am seeking mental freedom more than just physical changes.
Freedom from guilt.
Freedom from shame.
Freedom from embarrassment.
Freedom from past habits.
Freedom from the reflection that I don't love.
I hope to obtain confidence and release of the mental anguish I have been experiencing about my self-image for more than two decades of my lifetime. That is a lot of wasted energy that I have to make up for.
This Week's Info:
Weight Change: I'm down .2 lbs. this week but it is that week of the month, so I'll take it :)
Total Difference: -4.2 pounds since post-Thanksgiving
Goal Progress: only 4.8 pounds to mini-goal #1 by 2/1/2012 which also happens to be my 1st goal for 2012
Notes: DH has decided to also join me for this new direction of lifestyle so look for periodical updates on him. I'm thrilled he is joining me because I think it will really help me attain my own goals. We will be tracking our intake and exercise online. Also, I hope to return to working out after work. I'm starting with the small goal of 30 minutes of cardio 3x a week. And, or course, water, water, water!
Join me along my journey.
I love reading blogs about people's journey with weight loss, exercise, eating right...you name it! Each Sunday I will post my regular Slim Down & Shape Up Sunday with a link-up at the bottom. Do you have a post about weight loss tips/tricks/struggles/etc, nutrition, fitness, or related? Link it up!
2 rules:
1. You must be a follower of Blissful and Wishful via Google Friend Connect (over there ------ > in the right sidebar).
2. Link directly to a weight loss/nutrition/exercise related blog post.
That's it!
Then feel free to visit as few or as many of the other linked blogs to help find some extra motivation for the week!

ReplyDelete2. That is awesome that your husband is wanting to do this with you. I think Mike's wanting to do this with me is helping A LOT.
