Well, it’s the start of the new year. Time to renew the promises made last year that weren’t upheld.
I usually don’t make a resolution to begin the new year. I don’t see the point of becoming a self professed martyr when you don’t live up to the resolutions. So, I have never made one seriously as an adult. Oh, yeah, as a kid or teen I made the usual ones, get a boyfriend during the year, to pass every single test I took, etc… But as an adult? Never.
So, why change that this year? Because something needs to change. Over the last 12 months, I have gained 25 pounds. That might not sound like too much, but for me, it is. It has caused the effects of my PCOS to be worse, more visible, and has severely effected my self esteem.
So, my goal for this year is to drop the 25 pounds I gained last year plus 10 more (I was already slightly overweight to begin with). Even though I have the “pounds” goal, I will not o seas over it. I will, however, work on toning my stomach, getting my legs back to the killer gams I had growing up (my legs were one of my two best features), and I will tighten my tushy.
Over the next week or so I need to join some accountability blog circles, find a work out partner who will walk/run with me, and set up realistic goals for myself. I need to really clean out my fridge and pantry of the junk, and I need to find my favorite skirt under the junk in my closet to use as motivation.
Who is with me on this goal?
