The other night Kory had brought home a delicious dinner from Chili's - equipped with my favorite southwestern egg rolls- took two bites & tucked it away out of sight. Why? Well, out of pure guilt that I was stuffing my face while watching The Biggest Loser. I'm the kind of person who will literally sit on the couch & watch the fitness channel while I sit there thinking "geeze, I should be doing these exercises along with this extremely cheerful instructor" ....I come close to putting on my workout clothes & tennis shoes, to join along....but then I don't. Story of my sad "after work" life. So after tossing my guilty pleasures away, I hopped online & ordered myself the Michael Thurrmond diet. In case you don't know who Michael Thurrmond is, he is my long lost father...just kidding- he is the trainer from Extreme Makeover. He has this fantastic 6 week body makeover kit that actually works. I can say this, because last year I lost 11 lbs. on my first week - don't ask me about the other 5 weeks - lets just say those southwestern egg rolls snuck back into my life. Any who, everything makes sense, concept is simple, just eat more often, eat the right foods & drink lots of water. The whole program is more than that, but that's just the basics so you can get the idea.
I'm way excited because it finally arrived and Kory & I spent the night watching the DVD instructional & putting together my customized workout and meal plan schedules. I haven't started just yet, I'm planning on next week when I have money to restock my fridge with food I can eat. Miss Savanna is probably going to join me-which is great, because having a buddy with similar goals makes things soooo much easier.
A body makeover is something I totally need. Kory tells me I'm fine the way I am...but we all know where liars go to...hehehehehe. I'm not doing this for Kory or anyone else, it's for ME and for the sake of my clothes that haven't had it's fair time in being used because I simply can't connect the button to the loop hole or pull that top over my head without my beloved & hardworking Spanx. So this is for the new me & my closet.
The next time I have to show an apartment to a guest, I can walk them up those lousy flight of stairs without trying to pretend that I could breathe & talk at the same time. So, I'll post any weight loss updates and come bikini season, you'll see me in a one piece (I'm not a bikini person, so consider yourself lucky) and more energetic, happier I'm sure, and just better satisfied with my life-that's my goal for 2009.
I think you are great just the way you are. But if you are doing this for yourself then good for you and I hope you get the results you are looking for. Maybe I should join you too, no I don't think I have the control.
