A-weigh We Go!

Posted on May 30, 2015

Just a little while ago I stood on the scale and did my first official (and already verified) weigh-in for DietBet. I had my 7 year old take the pic and she was very concerned it all be in focus even though she's not quite sure why mommy wanted her to take the pic. :) Funny thing is is that a big reason why I'm doing this is for her. I want to be fit and healthy for her and be around as long as possible! It's so stupid that I've let my weight (and eating) get so out of control.

I'm a smart woman and I'm at the point where I'm ready to make the commitment to myself, my husband, and my daughter that I will be the best I can be physically. I know underneath all the flab is a fabulous, strong body.

With the help of my family and my wonderful personal trainer, I'm ready to hit the ground running.

The picture here is one my daughter took of my husband and I on a Disney Cruise this past January.

I love this Alyssa:) I think the online support of this diet bet will really help me reach my goals. I feel like I am a smart woman too and get so angry when I "reward" myself with junk on the weekends for eating healthy during the work week. The rewards are actually punishment to my body...the reward should be fresh fruits and veggies! I have noticed the impact of no exercise and poor diet in the last few years. I find myself with little energy and physically weak, hardly able to open heavy doors. I am only 36! This is too young to feel like I'm 70.I also have kids and am doing this equally for them and for myself. I want to be fit and strong and be able to play with them, go skiing and skating and biking - all things they love but have been forced to do by themselves since I have no energy to go with them.I used to be in shape and I know I will be again! Good luck this month on the challenge. I will be rooting for you!!Heather

I read in a Chris Powell's book about setting up a cheat day a week. A day when you have something you really like and on that day you have about 1000 calories more than normal. I was doing this and had forgot. You might want to give that a try and I am going to put that back in my game plan. Thanks your post remaindered me.
