24to14's Journal, 20 May 2009

This week is a new week. So far I have exercised twice this week, I'm feeling food about it! Bought some healthy food today for a change so the kitchen is stocked- there is no excuse. I picked up a book at the library because it sounded entertaining but it actually got me to thinking. It is called The Adulterer's Diet. In the book the woman began losing weight because she started talking to an old college boyfriend online. He wanted to see her the next time he was in town but she was so unhappy with the way she looked, that she went on a diet & exercise regime. Eventually she & her husband realize their lives are going in to separate directions. He has a problem with her suddenly devoting time to herself and looking hot.
While I have no desire to cheat on my husband, it made me realize that each of us have to have our own reason for losing weight. Sometimes fitting into a smaller pant size isn't enough. Yes it will be nice and fun to shop. But I need something more to push me. I want to be healthy. I want to be the hot wife and hot mom. I want to fit into a bikini by next summer or at least be close to it. So my best friend in the universe and I have made a pact. We both have the same amount of weight to lose. So we are motivating each other and at the end of our challenge, we will go on a cruise to show off our hotness! That is a motivator.
