Rock Bottom and a Diet Bet

So, it's here.  The night before I start changing my habits.  (yes, I made a jug of sweet tea just to drink tonight, don't judge)  I'm nervous.  I do NOT want to fail again. I will NOT fail again!  After looking back at all my blog posts from way back....it made me super sad to see how many times I was 'broken' and ready to change for good.  Ugh.  Sickening.  A friend once told me that I would have to hit rock bottom before I would make a change.  But the coolest thing that she told me....is that I could decide what my rock bottom was.  Well I am deciding what it is...RIGHT NOW.  My rock bottom IS now.  I am at (almost) my highest weight (only 16 pounds less), I am miserable, embarrassed, and tired of feeling like CRAP!  I want to be the wife my husband can be proud of, the mom my girls won't be embarrassed by, and the confident chick people can look up to. So here we go, since I am at rock bottom with my self esteem, weight, and eating habits...there is only one way to go...UP! 

So to get this party started I decided to make a little wager on myself.  I joined this Diet Bet on dietbet.com.  Chris and Heidi Powell (Chris from extreme makeover weightloss edition) are leading one of the bets.  I had to pay $30 to join.  You have four weeks to lose 4% of your body weight.  For me that is about 12 pounds.  I KNOW I can do it.  At the end of the four weeks you send in your official weigh in and all of the winners of the game split the pot.  The losers forfeit their $30.  On average winners get 1.5 to 2x their bet money back.  I'm hoping it's more this time :)  If this goes well I will probably join one of the six month bets!

I GOT THIS!

Super nervous Excited!!!!!  I know I can do this....I know there will be hard times but I am so thankful to have my friends and family to lean on, and of course YOU!  I know I can come here and vent and you guys will be so supportive.  :)  Thanks so much, and God bless!

Shake it up...year of change

It has been so long since I have posted to this blog...I have probably lost a ton of readers.  Oops.  I am claiming 2014 to be my year of change.  I want to be a better wife, better mom, better friend, better my relationship with God, lose weight, and become a successful real estate agent.  Yeah yeah, I know....new years resolutions don't stick.  Well mine aren't new years resolutions...I am making life changes! 


1.  Better wife- My sweet husband has been amazing and is supportive in everything I want to do.  He works his booty off to take care of us!   I plan to be more aware of him and what he does for the family and to show him more respect.  Also I plan to increase my income to take some of the load off of him :) 


2.  Better mom- My girls deserve more of me when I'm around.  I am going to put my devices/phone down more and pay more attention to them.  I try not to be on it but I notice myself checking it more often than I should.  It can wait, my girls are more important. 


3.  Better friend- I want to be there for my friends more.  Be more aware of their needs and offer to help before they ask for it.  I want to be a best friend.  I want to trust people more. 


4.  Better relationship with God- I want to read my bible more, pray more, and have more faith.  I want to grow closer to God and rely on Him for everything, and not on myself!


5.  Lose weight- I am going to lose 100lbs this year.  yes, 100lbs.  I know, it's a lofty goal.  But I know that I can.  With the help of my husband, family, friends and of course God, I know it can be done!


6.  Become a successful real estate agent- I love helping people, love real estate, and can't wait to help people find their dream homes!!!!! 


So these are my goals for this year.  And I can't wait to see/make them come true!  Monday starts my healthier eating and weight loss journey.  And everyday is a step towards my goals!  thanks in advance for the prayers.
