Here I go again

Well, I promised myself I wouldn't let it happen. It did. Christmas ruined me! For a good while before we took our trip to Utah I was doing really well getting up every morning, working out and not only not eating junk food, but not over eating at all. I was down a good 25 pounds! But alas... Christmas ruined me. I got out of my work out routine and now getting up early enough to work out seems impossible. The endless treats and desserts were too much for me to handle and I have let loose on my food addiction and have had countless cookies, brownies, cakes, french fries and pieces of pizza. Before I knew it almost 3 months have gone by and I'm back up 5 pounds! I can't describe my level of disappointment in myself and my anger at how easily I let go of my goals and the lifestyle I truly long to have. (a healthy, active, "fit" life)
So... I am making it official on my blog, making it public so I have some accountability... I am starting over, starting Monday March 10th. I am going to get up and work out and I'm starting a "detox" of sorts. I'm going to try my best to lose about 1.5 to 2 pounds a week for the next 6 weeks. I need to make my goals somewhat short term or else I procrastinate and they aren't very high priorities. I'm also going to be doing weekly posts on my "progress".
Here I go... keep me in your prayers!!
