And...We're Back!!

Greetings to all and Happy New Year!! Ok..so that sounds WAY more chipper and peppy than I feel on this eve of destruction.  Tonight I should drink and be merry for tomorrow I die.  Slightly dramatic?  Possibly!  However if you had my trainer, you would TOTALLY understand (just kidding Brandee...you know I have nothing but socially acceptable, platonic love for you! Please don't hurt me!)

Tomorrow I return to the gym.  Tomorrow my vacation and sabbatical from weight loss and healthy food is over.  Tomorrow is the dawn of a new era.  A new regime, if you will.  Tomorrow...I sweat.  Tomorrow begins the ending of my weight loss journey.  I have made the decision that over the next 4 months I will have completed the "loss" portion of my journey and moved to the "maintenance" phase.  For 2 years I have focused on very little besides what I am putting in my mouth, what the scale says, what the size of my jeans are, what my new goal would be, and just how far I am from that goal.  I'm ready for a new focus and having something besides calorie counting to talk about. I am ready for a life outside of the gym.


So with that explanation...I give you my new goal.  I am going to be 125lbs by April 30, 2013.  It isn't going to be easy but it will be worth it in the end.  I have about 25lbs to go and more determination than I have had in months.  So much determination, in fact, that I have decided that Gizmo needs to get in on all the fun.  Judging by the look on his little face and his actions after I put his workout gear on him today...he is going to be a tough sell!!

P.S. I also added a picture that I have probably over-circulated at this point.  However, it is worth mentioning that it is the first full body shot of me that I have felt like I look "small" in and actually feel pretty.  Small victories! Right?!?





Pretty Sure That's His Tongue He's Sticking Out At Me! 
Apparently Getting Dressed For The Gym Is Exhausting!
