Depressing....

So, today was depressing....I went and got fitted for my bridesmaid dress for my best friends wedding. As the lady took down my measurements I just stood there thinking that if I was not motivated before then I definitely am now......sadly that motivation was washed down the drain as I ate 5 tacos for dinner tonight.

I have to change my eating habits or I will have to get my dress altered and not because it is too big!

New Year Resolution

It seems cliche to even do this, but my New Year Resolution is to lose weight. I am not overweight, but I am almost there. When I look in the mirror, I just do not like what I see anymore.....don't worry though I do not have a distorted body image or any type of eating disorder. I just want to be healthy and fit.

Currently, I am 5' 7" and weigh between 145 and 150 pounds. I would like to weigh about 130 pounds, but more than that I want to be able to run without losing my breath after 5 minutes. I want to be able to do a push up properly. I want to be able to lift something that weighs more than 10 pounds. I want to be able to go hiking and not have to stop and rest every time I climb a hill. I may not be overweight, but I am in no way healthy or fit. I eat junk and don't drink nearly enough water.

So....here is the plan. I am getting married in 7 months. So I want to reach my goal by the time of my wedding. I am going to start exercising and eating healthier and I am going to record everything I eat on this blog for the world to see.  So...I am going to enjoy my last few days of slothfulness and then let the transformation begin.

This is the before....in 7 months I will post the after :)

The good news is that my fiance and I are both trying to get healthy along with my sister, parents, and brother-in-law. So at least I have a support group.
