21 Days to Make a Habit: Work Out!

My old skinny photo that I’ll be using for motivation
It’s not too early to make New Year’s Resolutions and start it now instead of waiting for January 1st to begin. Mine is always the same since I never had accomplished mine. This year will be different because I WILL accomplish my goal of losing weight!
I realized I’m not going to lose weight magically and by not losing weight now will only make it more difficult for me later if I continue to gain weight. Believe me… I love working out! It’s just hard to get the motivation to work out and go to the gym. I need to remind myself how awesome I feel after a good work out to encourage me to go to the gym. Eating is the problem for me. I’m really picky when it comes to food. Everyone who knows me will know this is very true.
I was inspired by Tricia to start this with a small goal of eating right & exercising for 21 days straight. She did it after hearing that it takes 21 days to make a habit and fortunately for her it worked! I will work out for 21 days straight from Monday, December 28th to Monday, January 18th. When January 18th comes I won’t give up but I’m not going to worry about that right now since it’s easier to focus on the small goals right now.
Tyler and I did our grocery shopping yesterday and I came across a lot of Lean Cuisine meals I’ve never seen before and bought enough to take to work for lunch this week. I’m anxious and excited to do this! I updated my weight loss page and will be weighing in weekly. Tyler bought me The Biggest Loser game for Wii so I’ll definitely be doing that video too and hoping someday while I’m doing it Bob will come knocking on my door!
Here’s to the beginning of my journey with the amazing support & help from my parents & Tyler who always will go to the gym with me in a heartbeat.
“Stop being a moron and start getting skinny! If you can’t take one more day of self-loathing, your ready to hear the truth: You cannot keep shoveling the same crap into your mouth every day and expect to lose weight.” – Skinny Bitch
