Starting the 21 Day fix.

Ok, here we go! Yet another "diet regimen" I can fail at.
Well I'm hoping thats not the case for the 21 day fix.

I am looking at the 21 day fix as a change of lifestyle. Yes, I will make some bad choices, yes I will probably eat bad things, BUT the 21 day fix will show me how to portion; how to make BETTER choices. Instead of eating an entire bag of doritos (seriously...do they put drugs in them to make you want MOOOORE?!) I will only have like 5-6 or I will make my own corn Tortilla Chips, where I can then have 16 because it's healthier.
It's all about the choices you make. It's 80% diet, 20% exercise.

Here's to a new. Healthy. ME :)

So where does one start her journey in losing weight? Well first we take the before and after pictures and take the measurements. I'm not ready to share the before yet, but measurements are good.


Bust: 51
Waist: 44
Hips: 54
Thighs: L: 28 R: 28 1/2
Arms: L: 14 R: 14 1/2
Weight: 247.6   :'(


Goals:
I have a Long term goal of 160 pounds. This will allow me to play with my kids, donate eggs, and be over all healthy and not hate looking at myself. I believe this goal will take me 2 years.

In the mean time, my accountability partner Katie and I will be focusing on 5 pounds! We both weigh about the same, give or take a couple pounds and we both want to lose roughly the same (me a bit more). But we have our goal "Pictures" in mind. Having 2 kids, I'm not sure its entirely possible, but we'll soon find out :)

So for every 5 pounds we lose, we get something. BOTH of us have to lose those 5 pounds though. It'll help motivate the other so we both get something.

Next we need a plan, but I'm also an extreme couponer, so spending hundreds of money on a new "plan" is NOT in my budget. So in addition to taking this journey with me, we're going to be doing the 21 day on a BUDGET!

Stay tuned, because we're far from over, but it's time to go match deals, coupons and meal plan. More tomorrow. :)

By the way. I am not a beach body coach.
