New year resolution..... I don't really have one.
For the last ~6 months I have been changing things for myself to become a better me. I have adopted the motto that if you don't take care of yourself, you can't take care of others. So far in some areas I have improved but I have a long way to go.
One goal is to be healthier and the other is to be happier (I'm already happy with most aspects of my life, but being happy should be every ones goal). Both of these goals just happens to include losing weight... not just weight loss but it is included.
I heard somewhere that if you share your weight loss goals and be open to sharing the numbers it helps... or maybe I am just thinking about The Biggest Loser!
Any way I am starting the new year weighing in at 176.8lb. Now before you start comparing your weight to mine and ect., also note I am 5'2.5". I am excited to start out the year at 176.8lbs because for the last two years I could not drop my weight below 180lbs and often times I was 186lb. This had me depressed too because at 9 months pregnant with Avery I was 188lbs.
For the last few months I have been around 177lb (+/- normal fluctuation) and I have been thrilled. My ultimate goal (knowing it might take a few years) is to weigh between 130 and 140lbs. But most of all the goal is to continue to exercise and eat more healthy choices.... ugh and drink more water... that part is hard for me.
Happy New Year
2014!
From personal experience, the weight loss will happen over time. It has been 2-3 years since I started improving my health and working on losing weight. Earlier today and since around Christmas, I have thought that it is crazy that I can now wear a pant size that I had not worn since early junior high.
