Becoming Devine in 2009!

Today is the day! That's right, today! Not tomorrow, not next week, not "oh I'll start that come June 1." TODAY!
Today I start a new lifestyle. One that will promote health and living! Today, I will begin the lovely journey of making myself healthier and happier. I will lose weight. I will exercise. I WILL LIKE IT!

We started a Biggest Loser contest at our office today. It's the 2nd round of TBL at work. I didn't participate in the first round, but I'm going to blow them away on the second!
Last "season" 7 coworkers played for 12 weeks and at the end they had lost a total of 123 lbs! That is so amazing! This "season" I'm going to be at the head of the class. I know I can do this. I know I can. But truthfully it's the first time I've ever really set out to do it. I hate exercising but I'm going to make myself do it and actually start enjoying it!

Eating better, moving more and staying inspired is my goal and I will accomplish! My first weigh in was today and I hope next Friday I can show that my hard work has paid off big time on those scales. I'm lucky to be surrounded by amazing people that are so motivating. In fact, this morning when I was a little anxious about everything and said I didn't know if I could do it, a very sweet and dear friend told me "Heck yea u can! Start out doing it for Girlie until you find it in yourself!" I cried. This is soooo what my motivation is. My baby girl and my husband! I'm doing this for them and eventually it will turn into something I'm doing for myself! But as always they are most important and it starts with them! So I said back to her "I can do this!"
Then that same wonderful amazing friend also said "Thatta girl! You have this... Pain is temporary quitting lasts forever and you're no quitter! :)"

She's right I WILL NOT QUIT! I'm in this! Knee deep for now, waist deep next, chin deep and then ALL IN!

Pray for me! I'll need it! My journey might be a great deal of my blogging in the near future!
Watch out world - here comes less of me!
