We can do this

Christmas week is almost here. For me, this means lots of delicious cookies in my house. And I proved this week that I can't be trusted around cookies right now. (my mother in law sent home some cookies she made and there was one of each cookie for each of us. I blew through my cookies withing a day and a half...no lie)
But, I am determined. I wanted to meet my next weight goal by Christmas day, but that doesn't give me much time. So, I'm aiming for New Years Eve. How do I plan to accomplish this over the holiday? Well, it's only 6lbs, first of all. But, I'm going to go with the thought of starting new with each meal/snack, and drinking my water. And, I am going to attempt, er, plan to hit the gym 2-3 times a week during Christmas week and New Years week.
Obviously Christmas day will be a free day, but I will do my best to not overdo it (like I usually do. I eat so much that I feel like I'm going to pop)
I want to get back at this, and hitting this next 10lb mark will be just the motivation I need.
I'm in the mindset, I'm motivated.
I'm ready to start 2020 on the right foot and in the right direction.
Are you ready too?

I'm Ready

One thing about getting healthy is, YOU have to be ready. No one telling you it is time to start ever works. YOU have to be the one that makes that move and really feels it in your soul. Trust me. I've started more Mondays and 1st of the months than you can imagine, and I wasn't ready so it didn't work. I've had people try to motivate me and again, that doesn't work.  I planned to start again this past Monday, but this weekend I really FELT it, I was READY. Day three and I haven't failed yet. So, I'll put that in the win column! I haven't started to exercise yet because this goofy weather has me miserable/ill with migraines and sinus issues. But making those better food choices at each meal/snack is step one. And drinking my water. Getting started is the hardest part, but I'm working it and taking it meal by meal. Two days down and a lifetime to go!

A kind word goes a long way.

I know it's April Fool's Day, but I don't do that, lol... I never have been a fan of it. But today I took the dog outside, and a neighbor who I haven't seen in a few months (because if it's cold out, I hurry up and get the dog inside as quick as possible, lol) was leaving her house. I waved and said hello. Now, either she was on one of those blue tooth phones, or she was talking to me. I am always the dummy who thinks people are talking to me when they really are talking on those, lol. She said "hello" and "you look great". I was shocked yet thrilled. But the thing is, today I have on the biggest shirt that I own (it is for real a 4x) and clearance "house pants" from K-Mart. The thing is, yes, I've lost 30lbs so far. But I don't see it. (Okay, I do in my face. I LOVE how I've almost lost all my extra chins. I've become the selfie princess since my chins took a hike, lol.) But I don't see it in my body. Yes, I ...

To Squat or Not to Squat...

I've never been able to do squats because I have bad knees. As as in life, my bad knees that prohibit me from doing certain exercises are partially due to my weight! #catch22 There are so many aerobic moves that make my knees do nothing but click, and my really bad knee will sometimes give out on me. So, that brings me to my new purchase. I bought the DBMethod machine. It is essentially to help you do squats while keeping the pressure off of your joints. But it is an overall aerobic workout (so it says) and helps with your pelvic floor (again, something that not only age but weight destroys) I did 10 the other day and my legs were like jello after, I couldn't walk, LOL Today I did 30. I think my form is correct, and I could feel the burn in my thighs. (again, I hope that is what I should be feeling, lol) I will go up a little each day until I get where I should be for an ideal daily workout. I can be the guinea pig to see if this machine is worth the money, lol. It's small,...
