Weight has been a real problem area for me for the last several years. Even worse - motivating myself to do something about it!!!
It seems I always want to do something, but easily slip back into my bad habits. The other trouble is - i have a hard time finishing things that i start with personal projects. Recently, i've been getting better about it (because i finally admitted it to myself) but there are still times when, well... you know.
So here are all the posts where i complain about my weight, and try to start doing something about it:
I don't mean to sound like a person who goes on and on about something and never does anything to solve it. In other situations, i am a solver of problems. When it comes to myself, i am not... I figure if i just leave it, i can come back to it later. This goes for many things in my own life; dishes, getting dressed in the morning sometimes, diet (obviously), fashion... but i decided that this is the year for change. Actual, real, change. I'm tired of being ashamed to look in the mirror. I'm sick of feeling self conscious when i shoot a wedding or go out in public. I am over disliking my body and not loving myself because of my own poor choices.
February 12, 2011 marked a milestone in my life. Perfect timing - as it would have been my mother's birthday. We bought a treadmill. Nothing fancy, second hand, but something I will use.
February 13th, 2011 marked milestone number two. After being continually being inspired by former wedding client-now friend, Emily - I started the Couch-to-5k program which promises that i'll be able to jog 5k (3.6 miles) in just 9 weeks.
It is a program that is perfect for me, couch potato that i am.
Here are the articles i have written as i have completed a workout:
