It's Go Time!

I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready! And ... I've already started. Woke up this morning and it was go time! I've spent these last couple of weeks doing lots of research and making sure I had all of my homework together so I can start this journey the right way and be prepared to make sure I'm successful! I WILL NOT FAIL!

So .... weigh in this morning: 240.8lbs! UGH! That's disgusting!

But it IS the very last time I will EVER see that number on the scale. I have my support team - I have information coming out of my ears! I have the resources I need to get rid of the weight!

The Ultimate Goal: 140.8lbs! That's 100lbs folks! That's A LOT! But it WILL happen!

I'm attaching the awful before pictures. I decided that everything had to be out in the open. I wasn't going to hide behind my weight anymore and taking pictures and showing the world will mean that I have to hit this head on, and that's exactly what I'm doing.

1st Goal: 230lbs and I get a new pedicure! :)  I have come up with a beautiful chart system for everybody to see and my family and friends to celebrate with me (picture attached).
*please let me know some great ideas for rewards when I reach a certain goal. I'd love to hear what you think would be great motivation.

But - I'm starting. I have completed day 1 and I'm still alive and kicking! Actually, I did A LOT of housework today... something I've been completely slacking on. We've had some great news this week so tomorrow is Friday and we're ending on a great note and going to rock the weekend!

A little off topic, but I'm super excited that I have finally found a job!!! And, it's a job that I'm certain I will love and fit in well with. Maybe also a contributing factor to help me feel better about myself? I look forward to starting that next week and tonight, Cody and I interviewed with a preschool and daycare for Weston & Ryleigh and we fell in love! I'm very excited for them to start there ... I think it will be amazing for everybody!

So - I will be updating posts every week on weigh in day and keeping y'all updated on progress, struggles, and most importantly - the inches and weight I've lost! :) So excited for this and I hope you are too!!! Please pass on the page on to friends and please feel free to leave me feedback and encouraging comments! I need support thru this journey, and that's what you're here for.

Night night! <3
