Let's Have Some Fun
Let's play a love game...
I'm going to play a game; the tough love game. I need to lose weight. I know I have been lazy and been too kind to myself- "rest up, you're tired, you work hard, you deserve a break" ... all that childish babying is over. It's time to take action and stop making excuses.
Today, i am going to do the 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels until the treadmill gets here. That's one other thing, I bought a manual treadmill (it was WAY cheaper with better reviews) and I read that most people prefer it for it's lightweight storage and extra effort it takes to get going. It does have an LCD to keep track of miles, calories and time. I also got it shipped for $1 so its totally worth it. I also got an under desk cycle thing for when I am sitting around doing nothing - now I could sit around and work on my legs LOL I just need to stop being lazy because I keep finding reasons to STAY lazy.
I think I'm going to try and allow my tendency to become obsessed with things take over the exercise area. I use to be addicted to going to the gym. It was how I managed to be get 9 pounds away from my ideal weight-to-height ratio. Then I graduated college, stopped going to the gym, got married, was spoiled with love and reasons for celebrations and then just forgot how much I loved being able to slide out of my small jeans without taking them off:
That is where I want to be back to (well, not with my cousin Eddie whose holding a canned beer LOL).
I want to be able to fit into those jeans to the point where they felt like they were going to fall off.
I realize I'm never going to be tiny, it's just not in my DNA, but I do want to feel comfortable and right now, I am FAR from being comfortable.
