Getting Started

So I STEPPED ON THE SCALE!! And OMFG I am fatter than I thought, but as I suspected it has made me become motivated on a whole new level since I can officially without a doubt say that I have never been this heavy EVER. So the starting magic number here ... drumroll please... 240lbs. That is a heck of a lot of weight to loose but I am ready.

First order of business is joining a gym, which I have done and I am very very happy with my gym selection, location and classes they offer (which is very important for the motivational factor of this whole thing). Next order of business will take place tomorrow in which I go grocery shopping for a whole week of healthy meals, no candy, minimal bread, lots of fruits and veggies and a good amount of variety so as to not get bored.

Sunday will be my very first day of the diet week, even though I am not pigging out tomorrow I am officially counting Sunday as the big day, Mondays are always bad, I never start on a Monday, that way by Tuesday its already been three days.

I was also thinking about doing the "Beyonce" cleanse which is the lemon juice, maple syrup, Cayenne pepper "Master Cleanse" just to get a good head start, I will track my progress if I decide to start and see where that takes me.

My husband is deploying in ten days, and besides doing this for myself I am doing this for him. To think that a person can leave their life and family and go fight for their country makes me feel as though I can do more for myself, I want him to be proud of the accomplishments that I had while he was gone. I know that he loves me "just the way I am", but it would be a cool gift to show him what I can do for us.
