I decided that today I was tired of the "Tricks" and gave myself a "Treat". I woke up this morning at the usual time, did the usual things.....get the boys up, walk the dog, give the boys lunch money, made the coffee and kissed the hubby good day. Then it was me time! I watch the show I had DVR'ed the night before, picked up the shoes I had left in the family room, and went off to the bedroom to pick out my clothes for the day and then headed for the shower.
As I turned on the water and waited for it to heat up, that little voice inside my head started to talk. However, today, it said....."You can do this, you can lose the weight, you will lose the weight! You can do it." It also said, "Six weeks from now you will be 10 pounds lighter. A year from now you will have lost 80 pounds! TODAY is the day you start!"
Everyother day it always said, "You need to lose weight, you need to lose weight."
Well, I was going to the supermarket to buy the necessities of life, milk, bread, juice and windex, but on the way there, the little voice took control of the car! All of a sudden, the voice had gotten enough gumption to turn on the left turn signal of the car and pull into the parking lot of Retro Fitness. Then the voice got legs! It took me right into the gym, spoke outloud to the receptionist and asked about personal trainers.
Well, I had to listen to the voice! I signed up for the gym, arranged for 3 sessions a week with the personal trainer and made the committment to myself and that little voice. I WILL lose the weight! My goal is to lose 10 pounds by December 12th and a total of 80 pounds by Halloween 2012! What a treat that will be!
I will be detailing my progress in my blog. My ups, my downs, my struggles and my achievements.
