First and foremost, I need to acknowledge the driving force behind this blog and so a HUGE thanks goes out to my professor (Dr. P.) for a phenomenal assignment (this blog.)
I have followed two “happening” blogs for years and always thought to myself, what a cool way to connect to the world and express my over opinionated thoughts! After Bubba was born (2.5 years ago), I decided to start my own blog and to this day, it sits there, so very lonely, with not a single post! Here I am today, with only gentle persuasion, sharing with the world my journey through life.
O.K….back to “Thine Own Self"...
Here’s my plan:
I weigh myself every Sunday morning. Over the years I’ve tried different days, but until recently, have found Sunday is THE perfect day for me to “weigh in.” Here’s my reasoning…If I weigh in on Friday, something in my mind gives the rest of me the “Go Ahead” to eat like Rambo Friday afternoon thru Sunday night. Hence, I spend Monday – Wednesday trying to lose the excess I gained by overindulging celebrating my weekly success. Vicious cycle! If I weigh in on Sunday, I have to adhere pretty diligently to my plan until Sunday morning and then, I can’t do as much damage in one day that I had previously done in two and a half.
Mind game, abso-flipping-lutley! But I’m a runner, and making my mind control my body is not something new to me!
Now, I will weigh every Sunday morning and post to you my total pounds lost or gained for the week. Additionally, I will check my body fat percentage and BMI and let you know exactly the same…up or down.
And, just because I am being so brutally honest, here are my current jeans, tags exposed (Levis size 10, Old Navy size 8) Mind you, these numbers don’t really bother me too much because when I started, I was a size 20 (remember the elastic waist pants I was wearing while I was popping pork rinds like they were Tic-Tacs?!?!?):
And here, with sales tags still intact, are my dream jeans (Old Navy size 6…alright, there’s a size 4 in the closet too, but Cricket has a better chance of fitting in them before I do and she is only 8):
Finally, THE TOOLS:
I know the anticipation is killing you…right about now you’re thinking to yourself “shut-up and show me this week’s numbers.” SOOOOOOOO…
Weight: - 8 lbs
Body Fat %: - 1.6%
BMI: - 1.3
I SO ROCK!!!
My nephew turns 1 today and so the kids and I are off to a big shin-dig in his honor. I have no problem passing on the cake…the ice cream…well…that’s a bit more difficult but if there is any form of food (i.e. pizza, chips, Tostitos and salsa…mmm…my fave), I have the potential to develop somewhat of a crusty personality! Never fear…I have my trusty grilled chicken breast in my purse, ready to go and if need be, I’ll slither out the back door and inhale them to save my life if only to provide you with more declining numbers next week!
Tomorrow starts turkey…gobble gobble!!!!!!!!
