2012 Goal

Could also be called 2012 Resolution but I was told at the gym yesterday that you shouldn't call it a resolution because people never keep those, so 2012 Goal it is. I thought I'd share it on my blog so I had some accountability.

It's no secret that I've gained 10 lbs this year. My eating habits rival those of my 3rd trimester of pregnancy. Seriously I have no idea why I couldn't just keep running and lose more weight. I realize my mentality on losing weight is all messed up. Today at the gym I saw a skinny lady and immediately thought to myself "what the hell is she doing here? If I were that skinny I would never come to the gym!" Ding ding ding... that's my problem. I always lose weight then think I can quit so I take a little break and that break turns into a year or more and 10 lbs. So here we go again. This time I decided I'd make a scrapbook of sorts. Nathan lovingly referred to this as something I could look at next time. Next time, really...thanks for the vote of confidence honey. That's ok though because I called him a chubby chaser. Nathan took before photos of me in my skivies, poor guy. Good thing he loves me, all of me. Don't worry, I won't be sharing those photos with anyone. They were bad enough for me to see. My only goal is to lose 20 lbs this year. If I lose more I'll be thrilled. If I lose less I'll still be ok as long as I've lost something. My plan is to weigh myself once a week and take my measurements at the beginning of every month then record it in excel and make a fancy graph or something. I'm also eating 1200 calories or less and writing down everything I eat. This way next time I can look back and see what I ate. Hehehe! I know I'll cheat this weekend because we are having Christmas with Nathan's side of the family. But Sunday I'm finding the skinniest chick at HEB, following her around and buying everything she buys. Wish me luck. Prayers are welcomed and encouraged. Nathan's going to need them. Hell hath no fury like a chunky butt on a diet.
