I've gone way too long without posting anything. I know, I know.. I promised to be better. So now I'm completely setting myself up.
So it's a New Year, and you know what.. It's time for a New Me.
The tone of my blog hasn't been all too personal. But sometimes you have to use whatever platform you have to challenge yourself. And boy, am I doing that.
I, like millions (or billions) of other people, have made resolutions for the year. Some of which consist of
- Be healthier
- Lose weight (the healthy way of course)
- Worry Less
- Seek God more
So while, I'm going to focus on my weight loss here a tad more for a while, I haven't give up on my other interests either. So expect a wide array of blog posts coming up.
Speaking of blog posts, I know sometimes I'm posting them to my Facebook page, but feel free to check back on your own or follow the blog. I'm trying not to annoy ALL of my friends with each post. :)
So, back to resolutions. One thing that I have consistently wanted to do, but have a TERRIBLE follow through with - is losing weight.
Don't get me wrong, the intentions are all there. I don't mean to let myself down (cause we all know that is really what we are doing when we don't follow through with our resolutions), but I do. I'm sure some of you have done the same. It's normal.
But here we go. 2014 is the year. And why is it different, oh you know - I just put myself out there and told everyone I know I'm doing it. I follow quite a few blogs and one that I have always loved is www.skinnymeg.com. She's funny, she's real, she's a mom. What's not to love?
So Skinny Meg - she started this thing called Diet Bet. You pay $25 to register. And you lose 4% of your starting weight within 4 weeks and you get your money back. The pot is then divided between the winners (those losing 4% or more of their starting weight). Sounds awesome, right?
And after a few days of debating whether I could do it - I meant, 4% - when I did the math, I was pretty surprised… It didn't sound that bad - in 4 weeks.. It's very possible. I finally convinced myself - I am worth it. If you want to join me, let's do this - it starts tomorrow -

As I was reading Skinny Meg's blog today, she mentioned she would like to feature 3 women who are in need of an extra push. (HELLO ME!!!). This includes weekly tracking of progress while doing the bet, as well as measurements and before and after pictures (seriously, she almost lost me at pictures). After staring at the screen like a dummy for a few minutes, I realized - how brilliant is this… Just what I need, but I'm sure she would get lots of responses, so why me. Then I thought - why NOT me… And wrote her an email.
And I'm in. Enter panic. Or enter accountability. So it's time peeps. Time to get serious. Time to be the hot mom I've always wanted to be. And to be healthier - for myself and to be a role model to my daughter. I mean, who wants to tell your kid that you are too tired to play. Yes, that's happened.
I'll write more on the things I told Megan about WHY I needed the extra push later.
So who's in? Who wants to join me? $25 - and you get it back! I mean, what's not to like. Let's do this ladies (and guys…).
