Lifestyle Change

So who else has made the commitment to lose weight this year? I know, it's kind of a boring topic, but I know I'm not the only one! I have declared 2008 to be all about me (I'm pretty sure 2007 turned out that way too, but I didn't necessarily make the concious decision for it to be that way!!)...and I'm not doing this to be selfish, but it's high time that I put taking care of myself at the top of the list!

So by taking care of myself, weight loss needs to be my top priority...it just HAS to be! I'm not enormous...but I'm not that stick-thin hot body that I want to be either!! And let's be honest, do we really think that Kenny will settle for anyone who's just mediocre looking? Just kidding, this really is about ME. So I've made a lot of changes in my eating habits, and to my surprise, it hasn't been that hard. Maybe it's because I'm finally in the mind set of being healthy, maybe I'm just REALLY ready to shed some pounds this time...don't really know, but I do know that I'm on a mission and that Lean Cuisine's have become by new BFF! If you guys haven't tried them, I HIGHLY recommend them. I pretty much live off of Lean Cuisine...lunch and dinner every single day...add in some extra fruits, veggies, yogurt, reduced fat Wheat Thins, cereal, and a whole lot of water, and there you have it, that is my whole diet. And I'm back to the gym...I go for an hour EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. Go me!!

I've been sticking to the "lifestyle change" religiously, but the only frustrating thing is that I don't see results sooner. I'm on the right path and I'm losing weight...but dang, I can't wait to put on my pants and have them be too big, ya know? I don't mind so much that it takes a while to chip away at the actual number of my weight, I just want to see/feel some results already. I guess 10 days isn't much, but I WILL get there by this Summer, no doubt! Miss Cupcake and I have a date at Abercrombie & Fitch when she gets home!! I've lost 3 pounds and counting...my next weigh in is Saturday...I'll let you know how it goes! And no, I'm not going to actually reveal my weight to y'all, we'll just stick with the # of puonds lost!!

So who else is on a "lifestyle change" mission? Leave me your stories in the comments and good luck! And don't forget to check out Lauren's blog to see her progress too!
