Like most people I took the new year to set some new goals. One of them is becoming healthier and lighter. I jumped back on Weight Watchers and have been going at it for a solid month.
For the last ten years I have gained and lost the same 40 pounds. It makes me tired to think of the energy involved in gaining and shedding that much weight. Being on and off medications and my emotional connect to food have not helped.
I think I finally hit that place where I'm tired of feeling this way and I'm committed to doing something about it. Not because I have to for an event or trip but because I WANT to be healthy.
So here is the big Rhi-Storing announcement. I am going to shed 40 pounds by Memorial Day. Here is the best part: I've already lost 11!
We have a vacation planned to Disney World and I want to be able to look at our pictures and not feel terrible about who I see. I want to be able to walk all day without my body giving up on me. And I definitely want to be able to ride all the rides comfortably.
So I've started ordering Pea Pod grocery delivery to make better choices about what I'm buying. It also means I'm not tempted to throw stuff in the cart we don't need. I'm getting fresh lettuce and lean meats delivered weekly so I'm not throwing food out and we aren't eating out.
Even my kids have gotten bit by the be healthy bug requesting chicken fiesta salad for dinner tomorrow.
So 40 is my short term goal. My long term goal? 75 by September. Wish me dedication!
Do you have a New Years health goal? Leave in the comments so I can cheer you on!
