the low down ...

the deal is ...today I weight 290 pounds. I'm 5'8" maybe 5'9" on a good day...when I tell people how much I weigh or even that I gained 100 pounds within two years they say no way...I seriously think I look exactly 290 pounds or even more. I've got huge arms and a belly. That's what I think looks the biggest on myself and I hate clothes obviously because of this. I used to be a runner, soft ball player, calorie counter and all around healthy person until I got married 3 1/2 years ago. I don't know what changed. I think I just got lazy but now it's a vicious cycle that I cannot escape.

Tomorrow I plan on taking my measurements and posting them up so you can see the progress with me. I have a gym membership that I just transferred to the new city my family and I moved to . So my idea is that I'm in a new city, my husband has a new job, we are in a new house...so this is the perfect time to make over myself and become NEW. The only thing is I've tried weight watchers, alli pills, atkins, personal trainers ...everything for the last 20 months and those thing work for a month and then I realize how tired I am or how other things in my life slip away. I have come to the realization that I can't make huge changes all at once. It has to be a life change inside of me, inside of my mind and mostly inside my soul. So my plan is to change one thing each week from just eating breakfast, making a daily to do list, cutting out soda...whatever it may be. The bigger picture is that I will be living an organized, goal oriented, healthy, energetic and skinny life.

So this week...starting today (Monday) is to always eat a balanced breakfast.

Here we go.
