Lots of comments and lots of secret and quiet mumblings of "Big Dreams" have already been tossed around while I was getting input on my list of 40 challenges. (If they were easy they would not be on this list and they would not be challenges.) YES, they are Big Dreams. But I have on there to climb mountains and to run/walk/swim/bike/or some other form of racing there too. I'm going to increase my weight lifting. I am going to get my body healthy. I need it and my kids need it. How can I truly get the satisfaction from accomplishing things on my list if I am not accountable.
Here we go. I have been heavier and I have been embarrassed to leave my home. Right now I am actually healthier than I have been in the past. And I am being proactive in getting myself there. I am terrified of what lies ahead but I know if I am smart and work hard at it I will get there. And honestly...STOP the mumblings and become my cheerleader! That is what we all need in life. People around us to cheer us on in our goals. I learned that after years of just being miserable: I especially need cheerleaders. Everyone of us does. No one wants to be beaten down by judgments and disappointments. Lift us on the fight and help us in a loving and kind way. I need it because I love food and sitting with a book or crocheting or watching "my Youtube shows." That doesn't help with the weight loss. I LOVE FOOD! I enjoy it so much and it is not easy to say no to a delicious decedent treat.
I stood on the scale and I found myself on the up again. So here is my honestly and my accountability:
I don't have to win a race but for my sake and the sake of my family this has to change. I need to see the scale say 160 in 4 years. It is not impossible. IT IS DOABLE!
