BEFORE I SAY ANYTHING I HAVE TO SAY THAT THIS POST IS NOT ABOUT A NEW YEARS RESOLUTION!!! WHY YOU ASK? BECAUSE THAT WILL JUST JINX IT, AND THAT MEANS THAT I WILL NOT FOLLOW THROUGH EITHER.
So anyways
I just have to explain that I hate that I am over weight, and I feel crummy. I dont feel healthy and it really scares me that I will pass on bad habits to my kids when a pregnancy finally sticks. I dont want to eat crap and feel crappy. My doctor had told both Tim and I how imprtant it is for our fertility to loose weight. BUT for some reason I have not had any motivation at all. Then one night while I was visiting my family in Utah I had a dream that I was changing my eating habits and working out. I felt so good that the next day I talked to my Dad, and Brother for like and hour about it. My Dad had lost like 35 lbs recently and my brother has lost like 15. So I asked them all about it. I realized that I cant make excuses anymore and I need to change my life. So talking to my family I realized for my body I really need to stay away from sugar, along with a lot of other things.
I am excited to start to be healthy and I have a plan that I feel I can stick with. So I am confessing my life style change to all of my blogger friends who care so I can stay accountable. I promise to add updates for you all. My goal is to loose 20-30 lbs by June.
The reason why I picked June is cuz that is when my 10 year highschool reunion is. YIKES!! I am old lady. To all of you who went to highschool with me, the reunion is on june 5th and 6th but they dont have a location yet.
Anyways PLEASE wish me luck and say a little prayer that I will have the strength to change my life to follow the Word of wisdom more fully, and prepare my body to recieve that precious gift of a child!!!!
I appreciate any help I can get! Just dont call it a new years resolution!!!

heyyy did u get my christmas card? i sent it to you.. i think it was the wrong addy tho now
Shannon,
YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
I think the most important part of changing your body is the nutritional aspect of it. That's what I've seen with my clients at the gym. You can exercise all you want and you may see changes, but bigger changes will come when you change your eating habits. PLAN, PLAN, PLAN! Plan out what you'll be eating during the day the night before. It makes things so much easier. You didn't ask for advice, but I thought I'd give you my two cents.
You have the motivation so just do it. :)
Good luck!!! I know how important it is to keep the weight off to get pregnant. I too struggle with it. (I know hard to believe with what I looked like in high school). I hope you have much success.
good luck girl! I know how you feel about being overweight feeling crummy...i feel the same...i was just telling Rhett that I know what I need to do and i want to loose the weight sooooooooooooooooo bad....but yet...i am not doing what I should and could do a lot more...i just don't. I can't figure out why...but I am determined to - i will do this with you!
I am so there with you on just wanting to be healthier. I want to enjoy shopping again!!! I dread shopping now, seriously... I hate it. J.R. is always asking me why I don't give myself some "me" time, and go to the mall and go shopping. Ummmmm.......... first of all... didn't you know you have to be a size 6 to hang out at the mall, and look like you belong there. Secondly unless I am shopping Torrid Mall stores don't exactly cater to the average girl. Stores like forever 21, and others where I obviously don't belong! Blah!!! I there with you girl! Lets do it together! Are you going to the reunion?
and i also KNOW you can do it! Remember that year you and I walked almost every day... you can do it! I'll call you soon! miss you
Man your ten year reunion! That means mine is this year too!!! wahhhh! I know that you can accomplish your"goal". I am so proud of you my friend! You have inspired me!! love you!
From one G to another... Its worth it (to feel better). If I can quit drinking a 6 pack+ of mountain dew a day, and quit smoking a pack and a half of cigarettes a day anyone can do it.
I personally feel so much better since I stopped smoking (obviously on the breathing side).
Mt Dew was different for me, I still drink Vitamin Water which has some sugar in it but less than 1/3 of the amount of sugar intake per day (which is a good start) next I need to learn to like water then i'll be golden.
Make sure Tim gets on board with you as well, its damn near impossible to quit something when you are around other people that still do "it, whatever that might be".
Peace out homie!

I'll keep you in my prayers! Good luck! P.S. we have a blog too . . .it's schachterlefamily.blogspot.com
