Well... it has been a long time since I last blogged. A REALLY long time! SOMEONE got stuck in a bad rut for a while... lost focus... had some health issues... but I'm not saying any names cuz she's back in full effect!
Recently, I decided that it's time to start planning our wedding. And I've decided that I DO NOT want to be a chubby bride. A wedding dress with short sleeves? Uh, not with thick arms. Not gonna do it. Nope! Having a chub lump here and there poking out, having to adjust my dress because the jiggles from the chub are making it shift? PLEASE! This is not how I want my big day to be.
At that moment, my inspiration was born.
I've nixed soda and found a new love for water. I'm trying different activities to burn the chub and have fun with it! Less computer, more movement is my mantra. As soon as my work day comes to an end, I get off the computer and get going! Hubby and I have gone a couple times this week to shoot some hoops and chase our toddler around the courts. Then we take a lap around the whole rec center. It gives us a chance to enjoy conversation, fresh air, and dandelion hunting with our little girl. This brings me much more enjoyment than the computer does!
Another thing that has lit my fire is dayzeroproject.com. My sister told me about it one day about a week ago, so I looked into it a little more. You set 101 goals for yourself that you want to achieve in 1001 days. It took me almost a week to come up with all 101 things, but it's so much fun to find things that you'd like to experience in the next 1001 days. It's given me a new outlook on life and I can't wait to check one thing off the list at a time. A lot of them are chub-loss goals, so I'm especially excited to work on those! My first two goals are to take body measurements of myself now and lose the first 10 pounds. So far, I have lost 7.1 in the last couple weeks! If you want to follow my list, it's here: http://dayzeroproject.com/user/bajamama/list/50221. I hope you'll be inspired to create a list of your own!
Trading junk food for fruits and veggies and eating healthy meals at home instead of getting chubby take out meals has actually been fun and not as hard as I expected it to be. I realize now that there is so much more to life than the computer and being lazy. I am not going to become the person that I want to be by doing the things that I was doing. This new lifestyle is getting easier by the day and I feel good about the choices that I'm making.
I'm gonna be a sexy b*tch next year!!! :)
