So, in an attempt to not have my last post as the top post for today... :) One of the things I'm really looking forward to be skinny again...my fingers!!
Today John and I had to go to Frisco to make our final cruise payment to our travel agent. Yes, we could have done it over the phone but our current travel agent doesn't have a very good track record for being timely so I wanted to do it person. Well, do you know what's in Frisco right at Preston and 121?? In n' Out. Mmmmmm!! John is from California so he loves In n Out and there is only one thing to get there... a hamburger. I ate that and only half of my fries. So on the brighter side, I only ate half of my fries!! But anyways, tonight after having so much salt today my fingers are swollen. Nothing makes you feel fatter than fat fingers!

Uggg...Am I really making this public????
So, my starting weight when I started weight watchers was 186 pounds. OMG!!! That is sooo super hard to make public knowledge. I have to look in my official WW book to see how low I got before going back to what got me here in the first place. My goal is 128...that is the official weight that will put me back into having a healthy BMI. I want to get closer to 120 but my first and most important goal is to just make this a lifestyle.
Talking about lifestyle...when does this become a lifestyle?? How long does it take??
See y'all tomorrow! :)

P.S. I'm still feeling like crap...my allergies have turned into sinus infection. Ran a fever yesterday and today I feel like I've been ran over by a truck. I'm so hoping to be feeling better quickly!!

Weight...
As hard as this is to post and as nervous as I am, I'm going to post my weight.
As of yesterday morning I weighed 160.4! Shocking, I know! I act shocked every time I get on the scale!
When I started this with Heather, I weighed 163.8, so I'm not completely back at where I started, but pretty darn close to shock me back into reality.
Yesterday and today, my friend Joy, has pushed me off the couch and outside to exercise and I can't tell you how much better I feel and how much it has helped me NOT run to the freezer and grab those Reece's Peanut Butter Cups. And another friend, Casey, posted on Facebook that "the hardest step is the one out the door" is so true!! Now that I am up and at it, I don't want to stop it. I don't think Joy and I are going to be able to meet up tomorrow, so my plan is to go in the morning after I drop the kiddos off at their respective places.
I know I can, I know I can, I know I can!!!!!!

Back At Square One!
Not totally but I sure feel like I am.
Last night Heather and I met up to discuss where we went wrong, how we didn't hold each other accountable and how we could do better. We came to the conclusion that we need to post EVERYDAY, so be prepared to hear from us at least once a day, maybe more.
Also, we decided we were going to be real here, that means very soon, you will know exactly how much we weigh. There is no sugar coating things, we need to put it down here, just how much we weigh and how much we want to lose. It is a known fact that things that get written down on paper (or a blog) are much more likely to be accomplished than things that are just floating around in your head.
Coming very soon are weekly pictures! These are things that Heather and I decided would hold us accountable to the interwebs!
I hope it works! I need something to work...

What Happened??
Kristie and I met for coffee last night to figure out what happened and what we needed to do. We decided that we officially fell off the wagon right after the Jailbreak. I know for me personally, my back was killing me right afterwards and decided to take a small break to recover. Well, that short break lasted a long time. It is super hard to get back on track from a break.
So, we decided that daily blog posts will help keep us on track. I woke up super sick today so I actually haven't done anything special today. I have eaten pretty well so that's a plus. :)

A New Beginning & Other Ramblings
So, after posting the video I came across on Friday, I have read almost all of this guy's blog. His story is definitely about losing weight but it is more importantly about DOING LIFE. He blogged every day. He ate well, excercised a lot, and had great friends that did it right beside him. He made his journey about experiencing life. His feelings about being fat and over weight are a lot of how I feel. So, with the start of a new week, I'm going to start doing life. I am very tired of being inspired for a week and feeling great and then the enthusiasm wears off.
It's funny, I have some great friends that will ask me if I worked out today and send me some ideas of how to get my workout in. But you know what? That actually demotivates me. Is that weird? It shouldn't be that way, right? That should make me want to work out, right? Why is that when I'm asked about it and told I should, I just want to sit on the couch and do nothing? Is it because it has to be my choice??
So, after seeing a few blogs and getting inspired (I'm kinda sick of that word, lol) I think the thing I like most about some of the blogs are pictures and videos. Those keep everything real, I think. So, as much as I hate, despise pictures of myself, I'm going to start doing it more. I'm going to take progress pictures and maybe some video. I do think it will be awesome to look back on everything.
I also find myself saying things like, well this guys doesn't have kids, doesn't work so he has so much time to go work out and "do" life, but those are just excuses. There are people that have much busier lives than me and they do so much more than I do.
So, I'm getting back on this doing life thing and let's hope it sticks this time. lol It will stick this time.

Friday Night Inspiration
I came across this very inspirational video while web surfing after eating a turkey cheese burger, fries, a real coke and an Oreo milkshake! OMG! Did I really eat all of that in one sitting?? It has been a long time since I've been this uncomfortable and I feel terrible. I don't feel bad about eating that but I physically feel terrible!! So, this video is exactly what I needed to see just two weeks {gasp} before my first 5k.
I literally started tearing up at the end. Such a great story and a great song to go with it.
