When Visiting Big Momma Means Seeing ME!

I am almost ready to kick this off for the new year!  Don't misunderstand, this is not a resolution.  I worked for Weight Watchers as a Leader, so to me, making a promise to do something with January 1 as my promise day is a big No-No.  I am looking at this beginning as the first day of the rest of my living life.  I will accomplish this weight-loss effort as my lifestyle and not a challenge, resolution or promise.  Those are all make to be broken or fail.  I won't be doing either of those.

The most important thing about this blog is about the INTEGRITY of it all.  Why do something if it's going to be fake or rigged.  I will do this with actual photos, video and honesty more than anything.  I want it to make a difference in my life and the best way to do it is to first: not lie to myself.  That's a big problem I have with myself.

I will implement this by first, taking a photo of myself, in a tight outfit.  It will be revealing and then as I lose the weight, it should improve.  I'll take a monthly photo.  When it comes to losing weight, ten pounds usually equals a pant size, so the way I see it, a weekly picture would be a tad silly.  The months pic should make its point.

I will weigh myself weekly.  I think that's about as real as it can be.  If I did a daily weigh, it would get boring and since during a weekly run, you can gain and lose along the way.  The weekly thing will do just fine and keep me on my toes instead of becoming obsessed.

I will be using SparkPeople.com as my weight loss tool.  I have been with them for a bit and lost ten pounds but once Thanksgiving came, I got distracted, took on a seasonal job and just ate like I wasn't caring.  Not to say I went crazy but I ate many things I never would have touched before.

SparkPeople is a great site and it has many tools that work for folks.  I will be using that and linking items from that site to this blog to help me along my way  I think it's the best thing to do with what I'm doing.  I've researched this quite a bit and plan on really kicking my own butt!

I am looking for the new me. I am tired of looking at myself and seeing me get bigger and more tired.  I finally have my thyroid under control but my menopause and slight concern with my blood pressure has gotten me to a point where I NEED to fix myself.

Watch me go!
