Sweet Potatoes Are Okay

I used to hate sweet potatoes, but I think my taste buds have changed because I'm starting to like them. THIS IS HUGE. I can finally make the switch. Goodbye white. This mama is on a mission to get healthy.

I worked out tonight. It about killed me and I'll probably be hurting tomorrow. My goal is to workout every other day. Time to put my Y membership to use.

I have vowed to not eat McDonald's until February 7th or later. No fast food for a month. This is hard for me. Fast food is my biggest weakness. Hence the title of my blog. My goal is to ultimately rid myself of fast food, unless it is a salad or something plain.

I have to make these changes. I started this blog knowing it would be hard. As you can see I've had my share of up days and down days. I get motivated, then lose it. This is the story of my life. I need to change. I'm hoping this will be it.

Day 2

Day 1 went great until I got home. I wanted to eat everything in site. Luckily it was apples, bananas and a cheese sandwich. Oh yeah, and 4 mini snickers. Will I ever be able to quit smoking? Ugh, it is ridiculous. I'm disappointed in myself. I'm working out today though. I pinky promised my husband, so no backsies.

Day 1

Get ready...this time I'm for real.

Goals:
Fit comfortably in jeans.
Not hate my arms in pictures.
Look good in a swimsuit.
Lose all but one of my chins.
Relieve some joint pain.
Lose 60-70 lbs.
No more smoking.
Eat "cleaner."
Ditch McDonald's addiction.

I'm excited. I have so many reasons this is for real this time. I feel really good about it. Wish me luck. I'll be checking in frequently.

2 Days in a Row

Go me! I'm feeling really motivated, and I am convinced I can do at least 3 days a week to start. I am going to start doing a dance it out class on Saturdays. I love dancing, so I can't wait!!

Being Sick

I join the gym....and get sick. I was all ready to go and then boom, a roadblock. Oh well, not going to let this halt my motivation. I need to get my sexy back and get rid of my double chins and tire around my belly. Recommend your fave workout songs!! I need new tunes on my nano.

Brownies

I had a terrible day at work. I did not get a job that I wanted and feel I deserved. I did what I always tend to do...eat my emotions. I had brownies. Oh will this cycle ever end?

I Joined the Gym

I know it has been a while, but just thought I would do a quick update. I have joined the YMCA. My membership starts today. It is a family membership. My husband and I decided we needed to make working out a priority. It will come directly out of my paycheck, like insurance, or dental. It really should be considered necessary like that, I think. Wish us luck!
