Yeah, yeah, hate all you want, but I'm allowed to be disappointed in the body that I have grown. It's not really so much about losing the 15 pounds I need to at this point, but more of learning to live a healthier lifestyle.
Over the past few months, I have had some things happen in my life that have caused me to start emotionally eating. I've grown out of most of my clothes, so it's time to make a change. My good friend, Chris, will be helping me stay motivated and stay on the right track so that by May I will be confident enough to put on the bikini for pool season. It's time to focus on ME for awhile.
This week I have started making diet changes, staying around 1200 calories a day and drinking water...no more diet coke...which is the biggest thing that I miss. I can tell you that whoever decided that 64 ounces was the amount of water a person should drink in one day, never had to spend more than 30 minutes in a car. I have to pee ALL THE TIME!!! I'm hoping I'll get over that part once my body gets used to being so hydrated.
In other news, life has been fairly good...the past couple weeks anyway. After my last date, I have decided that dating isn't really for me at this point in my life. I have been so determined to find the right guy for me, and have failed over and over. I'm done putting so much pressure on myself to find a companion. I am done obsessing about the things that I can not control, and have decided to focus my efforts on changing the things that I can.
The Colts made it to the Superbowl, and this makes me so very very happy that I can't hardly stand it. I even thought for a few minutes about making the trip down to Miami to see if I could get into the game...after further review, this trip would have cost too much money. Aside from getting into shape, another goal I have set for myself is to save some money this year and get my debt in check. As much as I would love to see my Colts win their second Superbowl, this just isn't in the cards for me this year. I will be making a trip to New Orleans this coming weekend to celebrate a good friend's birthday. A great group of people getting together to have some much needed fun. I just hope I can restrain myself from getting into any fights with those silly Saints fans.
The bigger challenge will be sticking to this new diet while I'm on a fun filled weekend getaway!
