my public committment

-ok, so i once heard that if you make a public committment to lose weight, or in my case, get healthy and fit, you are more apt to keep your committment....so here goes - my public committment to get healthy! i am starting a whole30 (http://www.whole9life.com/) tomorrow and will start doing crossfit a minimum of three times a week. ok, there, i committed, now what!?

-well, let me start by saying that this will be my third whole30. to be fair i did not follow the plan exactly as outline although i did get GLORIOUS results....30 pounds gone, lots of "clean" energy and my diet coke habit kicked for good! i weighed myself everyday (i have always been obsessed with the number on the scale) and i didn't exercise and sleep as the plan suggests so for this next whole30 my plan is to follow it strictly....ALL of it!! i also want to be able to stop taking my sleeping pills (which i know i have become "dependent" on) and taking ibuprofen/excedrin for daily headaches/aches and pains. the only pills i will continue to take are my antidepressants, but i am hoping that by doing another (strict) whole30 that i will eventually be able to wean off of these and maybe just take 1 instead of three or maybe none at all.

-i know how eating clean makes me feel so i am super excited to see how getting enough sleep and exercising will make it all that much better! of course the weight loss benefits are super awesome for me as well because i have always been on the curvy side and ever since i started having kids it has gotten harder and harder for me to lose weight let alone maintain a weight. i have never felt "comfortable" in my own skin. i have always been the "chubby" friend and i don't want to be that anymore. the one thing i have always wanted and say i want every year is to feel comfy in a bathing suit....ok, let's be honest, i want to feel HOT in a bathing suit! lol. i want to show off my curves and my muscles and wear shorts without my thighs rubbing together!
-so here goes nothing....my hope is to post on this blog everyday about how i am feeling and eating. maybe people will read it and maybe they won't. maybe they will be inspired....that is my hope. :)

-this is the first time i have ever "gone public" with a blog so forgive my shortcomings, my grammar and punctuation and take it for what it is....i am person just like you who just wants to feel healthy, look healthy and live a long, happy, healthy life. i know..so cliche, but it's the truth! lol! so comment if you'd like....share ideas and let's support each other! i hate confrontations (even the on-line kind!) so if you want to start an argument about ANYTHING i probably won't answer just because,honestly, i am not that good at debating. lol. so there is my story....more details and stats and pics to come later K! have a great night and i'll talk to you tomorrow....day1.
