Losing to LIVE…

So Hilary and i decided that we need some help getting motivated. Here’s what we came up with. We both REALLY love the Twilight series and have been waiting for new Moon to come out. So we decided to use that to just start our weight loss. Because of my hip I don’t usually lose as fast as she does so we decided that we will wait to see New Moon until she loses 10lbs and I lose 6lbs. Now that is some GREAT motivation to get going. We also want to see The Blind Side so instead of a weight goal for that one, losing can be VERY temperamental, we decided that we needed some gym motivation as well so we will go see that after we have both been to the gym 20 times and have done at least a 30 min work out. We used to reward ourselves with food, idiots, but that obviously didn’t work. We both really like to go to the movies but don’t go that often so I think making it a reward for hard work will make it that much better.  Come on 6lbs, I REALLY want to see that movie. 

So it has been a LONG time since I have posted to this blog. I have not had the motivation to really do anything weight wise the last few months. Really I’m just lazy and would rather go home and sit and watch tv than go to the gym for 30-60 min. WHY? I am PAYING for a gym membership and money is tight so why in the heck am I not taking advantage of it. Not to mention that I just had my hip replaced and sitting around isn’t part of the physical therapy. Looking back at some of my old post I have noticed a trend, the last few months are post that start with me trying to start again. Well I think that this is the time, I am only about 13lbs from my starting weight and I really don’t want to go back to that. My new hip has already made my life SO much easier I really want to help it out, so to speak, and make it last as long as I can. So Iam not going to say that my journey will be perfect, because i know it won’t, we do have the Holidays coming. I will say that it will be better, and I think that my will power will be stronger. No more secret eating, that just makes me feel like a loser and a liar. I am also going to try to blog at least once a week, I have a tendency only to write the days or weeks I do well, but I am going to try to do it no matter what. I just keep telling myself that this is a process. The experts say that when you lose over a longer period of time you tend to keep it off. So I guess that’s good for me.
