So, here we are again. A new year, and new hopes and dreams. A little more of me to love...for now.
Charlie and I have started on the road to a better us. Baby steps. Took a few hours to make a good shopping trip on Sunday. Postponed the weigh-in until this morning (instead of yesterday) due to a late wake-up, but here we are.
Our plan is to start by eating in more. Too much time and money has gone out the door with fast food. We've got a whole bunch of food at home, ready to be made. So far, we are two for two days: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
In a week or so, I plan to start a "getting healthier" routine. I'll likely start with stretching and walking. I'm having trouble with my flexibility of late, and I could use the low-impact way into it.
I'm not going to rush into this. We're planning on better lives for ourselves. I want to set goals that I can reach. Right now, my goal is to lose 25 pounds by the end of the year. Do I think that I can beat that? Yes. And when I do, I'll set a better goal. In the end, I hope to get down to a more reasonable weight somewhere in the 180-190 range. If I make it to 200, and that's where I'm happy, then I'll rejoice. I want to be happy with myself when I look in the mirror. I want to be healthy so that we can have a family. And I want to be true to myself so that I can maintain this for the rest of my life. It's a long road to get there...125 pounds is a lot to lose. But it took me more than 10 years to get here. I have to be patient with myself and give it time to go too.
Here's to the new me - I can't wait to meet her!
