Day 1 of the New Year

Today is Tuesday- January 3, 2012.

Body Composition:
Weight: 184.2
Waist: 38"
B.B: 42½ (Belly Bulge)
Hips: 41½

Exercise: Walked 35 minutes on the treadmill (2 miles) I know it was slow, but I that is how I roll. I need to start out slow and take baby steps to success.

Here is a note from December 26th- the day after Christmas. "I'm tired of punishing my body. I have an addiction to food. If I want to be an example to my children I need to take better care of myself. Stop eating when I'm full. Choose healthy snacks. Choose better food for my spirit. Drink only water!!!! No juice, no pop, no sugar drinks. My waist is size 41" and my ponch is 43" and I know I have water retention, but still I'm obese. My weight is 188.2 lbs. A few weeks ago I was 175-180 lbs. It's time to pay the price and get fit!"

Affirmations:

I see me- Energetic
I see myself lean and fit
I see myself being an example of health
I see myself helping others overcome addictions
I see myself healthy
I see my and my husband happy
I see my boys addiction free
I see my girls being modest and virtuous
I see me- full of live, happy, healthy and strong

Goals to accomplish my affirmations:

1) Get rid of all junk food in home
2) have fresh fruit and veggies available and ready to eat
3) Exercise daily for 30-60 minutes
4) Strength train 3 times a week
5) Plan meals each week
6) Prepare meals- fruit in a.m. and veggies in p.m.
7) No food after 7-8 p.m.

Happy New Year 2012

I started this blog about 3 years ago, and here I am still fat! I lose the weight and then go back to my old habits and gain it back. It is a vicious circle that I can't get out of. I have red books, followed recipes, exercise routines, hired trainers, gym passes, vitamins, supplements, protein shakes. I have done it all and it works, but I give up and don't finish. I give up on myself and then get depressed and start eating once again.

I ordered an e-book back in 2009 and finally read it. It is amazing and has wonderful ideas, and results. I am going to put it to the test and see if I can actually follow through this time.

I know exercise and eating healthy produce great results and I want to be able to help people, but I have to do it myself first, so here I am - doing the trial run of Burn the Fat- Feed the Muscle. I will post daily on what I have learned, what I have done and what I am doing to burn fat and feed muscle.

Have a great night and we will begin tomorrow! It is 12:51 a.m. right now. My first goal needs to be to be in bed by 10 p.m. everynight! I will only get about 6 hours sleep tonight. Thats not a very good start. Do better tomorrow.
