Only A Few Days of Snickers and Coke Left!

New Years Resolution...

Ah, yes those wonderful reminders that come around once a year to remind us that we sucked last year and need to have another shot at it again this year! To remind us of that ten pounds we resolved to lose but gained right back on February. That soda we promised to stop drinking but decided the headaches were not worth it so we bought that case of Coke yelling, "drink me" as we walked by it in the grocery store and drank the whole fricken thing in the car! So here we are January 2nd the first full day of weight loss, no soda, no nicotine, or whatever crazy thing you resolved to do this year. This year is going to be the year we do it!! I know I am praying that this year will be my last year of resolving to lose weight. I am bound and damn determined to make it happen. To kiss my muffin top good-bye, to burn every pair of spanx I own. Oh wait, I may sell those on eBay. I may need the extra cash because all those cute jeans in my closet are going to be WAY to big this time next year! Yep, I am doing it!

Step one: get this diet started! I am waiting a few days to kick this off because I like to do opposite of the rest of you crazy peeps! No, not really I actually was hoping to start this a few days back but my flipping Vitamix, the tool that will make my muffin top melt is still being held hostage by UPS. Conspiracy I tell ya! I think they are letting all my friends get pounds shed before me so I am the fat girl on the block! Really, Vitamix you need 15 days to get to CA from Ohio. Like Scott said, we could have rode our bikes to Ohio in 15 days and got it our darn selves. I guess if we would have done that we wouldn't have needed to Vitamix to make our pounds melt. Hmmmm

Anyway. Vitamix is a vital part of my plan to my, "finish what I started" resolution. Why? Well because it will make the item I will need to reboot my system. My Vitamix will turn all my veggies and fruits and to yummy juice concoctions that I will consume in place of food. That is right my friends we are juicing! I am committing to nothing but juice for 30 days.

I need a detox. We were Vegans for 10 straight months. I felt amazing, better than I ever had before. It was hard at first and then it became what we did. It was our lifestyle. What happened? Why did we quit? The only reason I can come up with is confidence. Lose more weight then you have in a long time and you feel good. So you forget to eat healthy and fall off the vegan train hard. It is easy to eat like crap. The bad part is you feel like crap. I have just a small amount of weight to lose to bring back my confidence. My challenge is taking it to another level and keep it there.

My short term plan is to reboot my system by juicing for 30 days.
I have also vowed to quit chocolate and soda for good, as in forever! Yep I am done, D-O-N-E with those two items. The two items I can grab anytime, devour in my car and ditch the wrappers and no one will ever know. So no more ever again. No lie! You may laugh and say no way, but ask me when the last time I ate McDonald's was or when I had anything with any kind of artificial sweetener in it. Quit those no problem so I am quitting the other two no problem. I have also set another pound goal. A number that my scale will not go over. A heathy and very achievable weight. When I was fat I set a number goal achieved it and guess what my friends in 5 years I have never gone over that number. So it is time to set a new one. Time to quit using I have 3 kids so I can't look like I did in High School. Hell, the only thing I liked about High School was my weight so I am getting it back! I am also going to set new fitness goals. Set new PRs, swim more, etc, etc, etc I am praying these few things will build my confidence higher. This is not a diet for me this is going to be the start to the rest of my life. We are doing it!


FYI I am sharing this with all of you as my personal journal, my accountably. Or better yet I am sharing this crazy plan cause I need all of you on your damn knees praying for me, loving me through my bitchy detox attitude, and slapping me upside my head when I toss that Ritter Sport in the cart when I thought no one was looking. I am also preparing you for a bunch a griping, whiny blog posts ahead. Cause guess what my friends I am blogging about this whole crazy ordeal right here!
