So my friend Kristen has a blog, which you already know because she has guest posted for me and I have sung her praises.
And I have another new friend named Sara who I looked forward to knowing better and her blog is called Sara Losing It.
Both of these blogs are about getting healthy and the roller coaster journey that it is of losing weight, eating right and working out.
As you know from previous posts of mine, I'm concerned about getting healthy for so many reasons. Yet I do nothing about it. I've decided that I'm going to need a little help, ok, a LOT of help from my friends. For real.
So we decided to do a little friendly contest. An accountability contest really, that will help us get started, maintain and keep on trucking (such a weird but funny phrase!).
I really hope I can do this. I have to. But I'm so good at starting and then stopping. Like if there could be a profession as a yo-yo dieter, I would sign up. So pathetic I know, trust me.
The details are being worked out, but we are starting this Friday, September 30th. I can't wait.
And yet I'm terrified because all of this means change. Cutting out sugar and fat. Good thing I ate the best brownies ever over the weekend, made by the hubs, because I seriously can't have those things in the house. I need to learn moderation, portion control and I could REALLY use some will power.
And also, I hate sweating. I get the classic sweaty, tomato face when I work out. And anytime I think of excersizing I think back to high school when we had to run the mile around the track. I'm getting hot just thinkning about it! Ugh!
I told the hubs that next year I'm going to run some sort of race. Like a 5k. He laughed. Then he saw my face and said "Oh, you're serious?!" Don't worry, I still love him :)
Dear Lord. Help me thru this!
I'm going to try and remember this when I feel like cheating or giving up.

We are going to do it together!! I LOVE that Pinterest quote. I am going to print that out and hang it in my cube at work and on my fridge at home. This will be so worth it! P.S.: My secret for not eating sugar is gum. I chewed so much during my first content that I developed TMJ. Oops. :)
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to do it together! I've been trying to drink lots of water if I feel hungry so I don't eat everything in sight! Maybe lots of water and gum are the key!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Good for you! Sounds like a challenge but you can do it!!!
