HOLY COW!

Not like these cows

And I mean that in the nicest way possible.

This poor blog has been hanging on - dangling out there in the wind. Well, guess what people?

I'm BAAACCCCKKKK! In a big way. Ha! Total pun intended. Not only did I not lose the weight intended when I first started this blog, I probably gained some and then most recently lost a smidge. Enough to make the cringe not so cringeworthy. I have a long way to go and I want to do it.

I'm in such a different place in my life and I am ready to make some changes. I mean, everything else has changed (you can read about it on A Dog-Eared Life) why not make one more adjustment for the better.

and to look less like these cows

I'll give you a little more detail on the plans in the next post! Stay tuned, because I'm still searching for that space between my thighs.

The road to good intentions....

I am ready to do this. I really, really am. I just have to wrap my head around it. JMS says I have to not worry about the food and to focus on the commitment. I know this isn't a diet - it a lifestyle change. I have to reach for that cucumber instead of that cookie. I need to hydrate with herbal decaffeinated tea and water instead of liquid caffeine (coffee).

I am tired. I tired of flabby arms. I am tired of back fat. I am tired of stomach roles. I am tired of giggly thighs. I am tired of being out of breath after 2 flights of stairs.

I am going to succeed for my healthy, my frame of mind, for happy shopping trips and most importantly, my future.

Fat, listen up.

This is what I have to say (sing) to my fat:

I'm the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face
Mirrored in your stare
I'm what's left, I'm what's right
I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that will take you down
Bring you to your knees

So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
