Baby Steps (108)

Today I hit the snooze button. Not the most auspicious start to a lifestyle change but baby steps, baby steps.

Another baby step - I logged everything in My Fitness Pal! Now I didn't exercise today or make it to my calorie goal but I only missed it by 180 calories. Not great but, eh, not bad either.

But what I consider a big baby step - baby step in that it has only lasted a day - I turned down oreoes and chocolate and my bigest sin, Starbucks. I used an old weight watchers trick of telling myslef I can get it later...and later...and later... until it's bedtime and teeth are brushed. Score one for the countdown!

Let's see how my plan of exercising goes tomorrow!

The Realization and Motivation (109)

Hello world!

I've been a big girl since I was 12. That was when I started to hate sports but still ate as if I ran a marathon every weekend. Today, as I finish the row of oreos in front of me, I realize my sister's wedding is in 109 days! That means I can loose about 30 lbs of my 230lbs in a healthy manner. Her bachelorette in NOLA is in 9 weeks! She has been engaged for about a year, I knew this wedding was coming, it is no big surpise and yet I wait until the final days to realize I don't want to be the only large one in the group! To put it in perspective, I outweigh all the other girls by at least 60 lbs.

This is the realization that it's now or never. I'm not going to change over night but I hope that by starting this blog and writing every day, I will finally hold myself accountable, loose the wieght, and keep it off for the rest of my life.

Below is a picture of my sisters and me, can you guess which I am? Starting tomorrow there are only 108 days until the wedding and I plan to make them count!

Love,

Alli

Smile at the world and it will smile back!
