So, this entire year I was going to focus on losing weight - I even started a blog "2012 - the year of healthy". It got a whole whopping 3 posts haha.
So you may ask, "How's that healthy thing going?" My answer - simply put - It's NOT! I have been steadily gaining weight the past year after loosing 40 pounds. So, this weekend my sister in law makes a post on Facebook talking about how she is going to start dieting this coming Monday.
So let us pause here for a moment and get just a little back ground - Amanda and I have known each other since High School, we were always around the same weight, some 8 years later I meet her brother and we fall in love (yadda yadda) and we are still about the same weight.
Okay, so that Facebook post did it - my motivation returned!! For whatever reason, I do not want Amanda to be smaller than me! I don't hate her or anything like that when she does do better and loses more and gets smaller, it just pushes me!! It motivates me to stay just one step ahead. So I decided "I'll start Monday too!"
This morning (the start date) - I get up and weigh. Now I have not weighed in a few weeks mind you. But coincidentally (maybe), I officially hit my "20 lbs" mark. I have gained 20 lbs since last year!! There is some extra motivation there!
So this week I am doing the Cabbage soup diet - without the cabbage soup. Mainly because *shivers* I cannot stand the soup!! So today was all fruit!
Another thing that I am focusing on is no artifical sweetner (splenda, sweet n low, equal, etc). So if I want coffee just a little bit of creamer and that's it! (Needless to say I did NOT finish my coffee this morning) I had noticed that about the time I started using that regularly was about the same time I started gaining weight - I think it pushes my cravings. We shall see!
