With a New Year comes a new resolution...right?! In keeping with tradition I have committed myself to another weight loss competition. I DID NOT meet my weight loss goals last year. I tried and made great strides, but I have some work left to do. I am actually really excited about this years competition. My gym is doing a "Rock Your Jean" contest. Lose 2 jean sizes in 10 weeks! If you succeed, your name goes into a drawing for tons of really awesome prizes...like 100.00 gift card to a boutique, Subway is kicking in a great prize, spa prizes, etc. I don't know about the rewards a ton...just word of mouth. SOOOOO of course I had to go buy a new pair of awesome Silver Jeans!!! Expensive...yes. But it will give me a little more motivation to do this!
Tonight I have to go grocery shopping...on the list...fruit. Lots of fruit! Vegetables, chicken, pistachios, beans, turkey burger, yogurt. I don't really know what else to get.
Here is what concerns me. I did this last year...it was a team challenge. I felt like I did great but did not see the results I was expecting. I did not have a perfect diet but I thought I did a hell of a job changing my eating habits and was working out almost every day. So why do I think it will be different this year????
-I am no longer breast feeding. I think my body retains all my fat when I'm nursing. Nor am I only 7 months post pardum. I feel like my body is even more ready. (Those might be just some excuses for my mental state of mind...and that's fine:))
-I plan on having an even better diet.
-I really want to rock my new jeans. They are SOOOOO cute!
-This year is going to be full of amazing changes. I'm going to grad school, Kendall turns 2, Cass and I turn 31, Nathan will be 5 and going to start his 2nd year of preschool in the Fall...and I will start student teaching. Therefore, I have deemed this the year of Mind and Body!!! (I feel like I'm always working on soul so I didn't want to make it a resolution...make sense?!)
I am so ready for this and once again I want to blog about this 10 week challenge. Along with the 10 week challenge, it will also be my first 10 week term back in school...GRAD SCHOOL!!! So I will have lots to talk about I'm sure!
Oh and I'm no longer private. Just FYI!
