As my lack of posts would suggest, I've fallen off the wagon. There are a number of contributing factors including (but not limited to): having a new boyfriend, the holidays, being super busy with both jobs, and being sick. But with the new year I'm hoping to set things right again. It's a sad excuse - as if the calender pages turning made any significant difference - but it may just be a boost I need. The more I think about it the more I realize that I'm just afraid that I can't go any farther. I had always assumed that a size 12 was the smallest my body could handle and now I realize that's the farthest thing from the truth. I've put up a mental road block preventing me from making any more headway.
The new boyfriend is actually proving to be a good thing for my weight loss. It turns out we have similar weight loss goals for ourselves. So we've made a pact that give each other small goal points and then reward each other. We've established our first goal point (20 lbs loss for me) but have yet to determine a time frame to do it in or what reward awaits us at the end. It'll take further discussion to decide.
I was also inspired by Tara Costa, yet again. I am a fan on her Facebook Fan Page and regularly check her posts and status updates for some inspiration. Since Biggest Loser Season 9 is scheduled to premiere tomorrow night, she suggested picking a contestant to compete with every week. While it's not realistic to lose as much as any contestant who works out 6-8 hours a day, I do think it's a fantastic idea.
Once I shake this sickness I'll be heading back to the gym strong. I still have aspirations to start running before work and running the Cupid's Chase 5k on February 13th. The ultimate goal is to still lose the final 40 lbs by April 22nd - my one year marker.
