So it is the night before I start the Body for Life 12 week challenge. I am feeling sick, the girls all have fevers, and I am already feeling like I am setting myself up for failure. I haven't even started yet. Over 12 weeks I will exercise and eat clean and supposedly transform my body (can you tell I am a little skeptical???). I have seen so many before and after photos of people who have accomplished this feat so there is no reason why I can't. Every excuse I have, they have had, and overcome. I am too out of shape (so were they), my body type just isn't meant to have a flat stomach (some of those women's stomachs before make mine look like I have a six pack), they are older, and busier, and more tired then I am, and they all DID IT. So, I have packed all of Timmy's food for tomorrow, I have my meals set into place, and all I have to get through tomorrow is 20 minutes of cardio and avoid mindless grazing (so fun with the kids eating my favorite pb&j!) So here is to a new me... you won't recognize me come April... I am not going to try because the minute I let that word into my vocabulary I will fail. I am done with excuses... we only have today... sieze it!!! So read on as I journey through the next 84 days if you like... send me any thoughts, questions, or concerns if you feel so inclined!!!
My reasons for doing this:
1. I am sick of the fact that the only reason I do squats is when I just put on my jeans and I am trying to stretch them out to fit... (anyone else have this problem???)
2. I want to walk by my husband naked and feel like a goddess.
3. I want to get this over with so I don't spend the rest of my frickin' life "battling my weight"
4. I want my girls to have a better role model, a strong and healthy mom
5. I want to wear a bikini on my cruise and rock it!
What I will acheive over the next 12 weeks:
1. I will lose 15 pounds of fat
2. I will be able to pull on a size 8 jeans without having to do my squats (see above)
3. I will have a flat (not flatter but flat) stomach and not look like I am in the early stages of pregnancy
4. I will wear chonies and they won't cut into my skin but rest nicely on it like I see on tv (lol)
5. I will have a ton of energy
