Okay, so my friend Angie says "Starting Monday" would have also been a good name for this blog, because how many times in our lives have we said "Starting Monday". I am starting tomorrow, I am joining Gold's Gym and taking a 6:00 class called "Body Jam", which I really enjoy. I am nervous because I have been overindulging and eating like crap for a while now. Before tomorrow I need to:
1) Plan my menu for the day
2) Pack my gym bag
3) Change my mental view of myself as a person who is capable of being fit and capable
I made a choice not to go to weight watchers tomorrow because I want to go to this specific gym class and the WW meeting by mmy house is at 6:30. I will go another day this week (even though I am terrified of stepping on the scale).
My husband D says he is going to also participate in eating well and working out. That would help, but I am not going to link my success to his participation. I CAN DO THIS!

Getting Ready
I hate exercising. I also hate my body and though I have great self esteem, my loathing of my body sometimes causes me to hate myself. I have been very succesful with weight loss 6 years ago I lost 65 lbs. on Weight Watchers. Then 4 years ago I met my now husband and I put back on 45 of those lbs. When I am trying to make myself not feel like a failure for gaining weight back I tell myself, "Well at least I did not gain back all of the 65 lbs.", but the truth is I was never happier than I was 45 lbs. lighter than I am now.
Even with my success on weight watchers it was all from diet not exercise. I hate exercising, I am not good at sports and I just don't like to make the time to do it. I have decided that I need to exercise and eat right at the same time. I am committing to 30 consecutive days of exercise. I am going to exercise for the entire month of February and two days of March. I figure if I can work out 7 days a week for 30 days, working out 3-5 times a week for the rest of the year (and hopefully my life) won't seem so bad. At Weight Watchers they teach us that it takes 21 days to form a habit, I will form a habit and add 9 more days to cement it in my brain.
I am hoping that I really do this, I am using this blog to hold myself accountable, all of you can help me!
