Day 3 (OJ)- Keeping IT Real

Now that I have the accountability of my bestie and you the readers and the prayers of my Mama, I have decided that I need to keep it real.
Yesterday, I took a long hard look at my patterns of dieting- what has been successful and what has not. First and foremost, I have experienced success when I have exercised faithfully. I hate the thought of exercise and I can come up with every excuse under the sun why I can't incorporate exercise into my life. However, from past experience, I know that I in fact enjoy exercise once I am in the rhythm. They say that it takes 21 days to make something a habit. So, the proposal is this, for 21 days I am going to incorporate some form of exercise into my life. If I can find 20 minutes everyday to play mafia wars on facebook, then I certainly can find the time to exercise. So, dear readers and Miss LJ, please hold me accountable to getting over hating the THOUGHT of exercise and finding my rhythm.
The second area where I need accountability is much harder for me. Even as I am sitting here typing, I do not want to do it. I do not want to write. The little devil on my shoulder is saying "Don't type it, they will never know." But my desire to keep it real in order to see real change is forcing my fingers to type. I do not think that my fingers have ever typed so furiously. It is like the skinny girl in me is panicking because she is afraid those screams for help are once again going to be ignored. So folks, here it is. I commit to not drinking any soda at all until I have dropped 30 pounds. I mean I am not going to ANY soda until I lose 30 pounds. I am not going to say it is date night and I have to drink soda to wash down the popcorn at the movies. I am not going to grab a soda when I do not have time to stop for a coffee. I am not going to drink any soda at all PERIOD until I have lost 30 pounds.
Thank you for all of your support!!

  1. Girl, that is going to be so hard! But you can do it. Bring a water bottle with you everywhere like we did right after having our babies.
