A Life Less Overweight

I was curious about what Boxing Day is, and I found out that in the countries that celebrate it, it is traditionally a day that people gave to the poor. So, today is my boxing day to myself. I am going to give my poor body a reprieve and start healthy again.

I keep waiting for the right frame of mind to hit me, that all of the sudden I’ll feel motivated and ready to make the changes I made before and commit to them. For some reason, I am not feeling that same level of readiness that I did the first time I did this so well. I can’t put my finger on why though. But, I think if I just wait around until I’m good and ready, I might be waiting for a long time and find myself worse off than I am. I am now up to 180 pounds, just 4 pounds shy of where I was before. So, if I keep waiting, I will be fully back at square one. That is one thing that I am definitely not ready for at all. So I just have to suck it up, be ready, and do this.

Since this weekend we are traveling to see my husband’s family, and it’s practically impossible to be beachy there, I am going to hold off on starting the first two weeks of south beach until we are back on Monday. However, I am going to make myself go to the gym today and make healthful eating choices this weekend. Even as I just typed those words I hesitated writing them because I a) really don’t want to and b) if I say them and don’t do it, it’s a major failure in my mind. So, now I have to. Dammit.
