It's freaking time I get my ASS in gear! I have a wedding to attend in July, and it has motivated me to look and more importantly, feel better! Rayce is only about 10-15 pounds over what he weighed when we graduated from high school nearly 10 years ago. I know that I can NEVER get down to the weight that I was 10 years ago, but I am sick of being the weight that I am now. I have been (here comes the nasty word) obese for 8 years now. I was nice and fit until I had our first child, and apparently that's when I lost all motivation to get my butt off the couch and work out. I used to be a health nut, what the hell happened to me? I guess life happened. :( But now is the time to change!
Back to the wedding motivation, this is how it came about. Because believe me, I have been to WAY too many weddings looking the way I do now, and it's not going to happen AGAIN!!!!! Rayce is a groomsmen for one of his good friends, Sam. And so we will be going to Seattle for 5 days. It will be our first vacation together since our HONEYMOON! Tragic, I know. But anytime we ever go anywhere, we bring our kids with us. So we decided that it was time for just us. (I think after 9 years of marriage, and three kids, we deserve it!) And since Rayce looks AMAZING I thought it was only fair to him (and myself) that I look good too. Not just a coat of make-up and fancied up hair, but lets just say a LOT of weight needs to be shed to even get to a healthy weight! (I probably shouldn't be sharing this with you all, but I think it will help motivate me to actually get it done.) I don't have much time (6 months) to lose over 50 pounds. I KNOW that I can do it though. I know that this is my time. I have done a lot of thinking about how this extra weight that I carry, also "weighs" down our marriage. I know that Rayce loves me, but my insecurities certainly makes it hard on both of us. So LONG story short, TODAY IS THE DAY! TODAY IS GOING TO BE THE DAY THAT I AM GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN MY OWN LIFE!
WISH ME LUCK!
