[Week Two] Biggest Loser

I'm trying to lose weight--and I purposely left out the first week because I didn't do so great

Now? I'm getting into the swing of things, and I hope the scale will tell me something tomorrow! So, like many people, I went ahead and repeated last year's New Year's Resolution which was to lose weight. Last year, I actually got on it and lost 10 pounds. . .but then when I got married, I gain it all back like crazy because I didn't have time to work out.

This year, I changed the resolution a bit and said to myself that I would lose weight and keep it off. I knew it was going to be hard to do. I'm the girl that loves burgers and fries. . .I love to eat cake. . .I love cookies. . .I can eat a lot of carbs. I had to take a step back and look at myself. My stomach was bulging and my clothes were starting to get tighter and tighter. I felt myself getting tired everyday, even though I had a good amount of sleep the night before. I was getting sick a lot easier.

I was just tired of being tired--and I knew that it was time to step up and take responsibility for my body. I'm longing to have a family, and my husband and I wanted to try this year. I want to be as healthy as I can when I have this baby. Yes, I'm expecting to gain weight, but I wanted to start of as healthy as I could be with no excuses. When I weigh in tomorrow, I'm going to be proud of myself, no matter what the scale tells me because I know I did good. It's not about the dieting and not eating all the foods I love for a certain time to lose weight--it's about eating better and changing my lifestyle for the better.
