I never had the writing knack that so many people possess, so my posts will either be short and to the point, or long winded about nothingness.
On one hand, I'm a planner. Everything I want to do has a plan. I have lofty dreams, and I plan on accomplishing them....with plans! On the other hand, I have a lousy memory which means - I forget all my plans!! I fail at eating healthy because most times I completely forget that I need to eat healthy. I'm sitting at the restaurant and I'm so preoccupied with ordering something yummy, I forget I have to cut out my carbs (downfall of mine) and eat healthier cooked meals. Who would pass up a plate of crab stuffed chicken smothered in Lobster sauce with a side of french fries and eat a healthy green salad?! If I remembered to, there is a good chance I could get myself to do it.
My lofty goals? I'm crazy about them. I want to do outrageous things that need me to lose a ton of weight! Why haven't I done it yet? I'm lazy. Absolutely lazy. When I get home from work, nothing more comforting then sitting in front of the TV and vegging out until bed time. Sometimes being too embarrassed to even go outside unless I absolutely have to. My other downfall? I eat FAST. Completely and embarrassingly fast...which of course leads to eating more. Why don't I slow down? I'm too busy eating, talking, eating, talking -- I forget to slow down and eat slower. So, my goal with this blog? Not just for support. But if I do it daily (crossing my fingers) it will be in the front of my mind and I will remember that I will have to slow down and order healthier food. I'm not a snacker, I don't eat junk food. I've even given up just about everything with sugar (don't like sweet food). I turn chocolate down all the time. I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner --- and that's it. But I eat a lot of unhealthy cooked food and I'm lazy. So - I can do this!
Back to my goals. I don't get inspired to "lose 20 lbs in 3 months" -- does nothing for me. Doesn't give me that excited feeling to really start working out. Things I want to do once I'm at a healthy weight are my inspiration. First goal. I want to be healthy enough and fit enough to do Tough Mudder!! May healthy enough and strong enough to rock climb Yosemite! Scuba Dive a shipwreck. My bucket list goes on and on, but first on that list - Lose 150lbs. I want to have adventures! And my list of adventures give me inspiration to get things going. And this has to be my year to do it! I'm always talking about it. This is my last shot! I'm going to do it! I have to blog about it because I tried writing in a journal, and when I went to start writing, I noticed it was almost a year before I started the diet journal, and didn't enter anything on my 2nd diet day...last year! So - with blogs more people could potentially read it. More people could be holding me accountable! I'm not going to crack down on my diet until the New Year. That was my promise to myself. I can do whatever I want for the last 2 weeks of this year, come January 1, 2012 my adventure begins. My "Being Held Accountable" Blog Adventure. So, cross your fingers and toes and hopefully I can lose 150lbs healthy and quickly!
