What I want

I vision myself in my old clothes. Back about five years ago I worea size 4 jeans, and a size XS in everything else. I loved the way I felt and looked. I was truly happy with myself. I had more energy, I enjoyed shopping for clothes and dolling up.

after I gained my weight, all of the things I loved and enjoyed became feelings of dread and disappointment.

I have been following Chalene Johnson's blog, and I love looking at the before and after pictures of real people who decide to take their weight and health under control and take the turbo jam challenge. They look so great and they are so lean.

The before pictures you can tell they aren't real thrilled with how they look or feel but the after photos they are all smiles and happy with their success. I can do that too! I want that too!

So far, I'm doing well with it. I wish I hadn't gotten ill and got knocked off of my work out schedule, but it doesn't matter now..... I can keep going now that I am feeling better.

I want to wear thos camo jeans I have never worn! I want to buy a whole new wardrobe and love getting dressed in the morning rather than feeling depressed and settling for loose pajamas or sweats and saving that new pair of jeans for visits to town.

I've done well with my eating this week and have worked out every other day , I will do more next week once my strength is up again. This week I have had a four pound loss. Yep, I lost another pound. I know I was retaining some fluid, so I know I've lost some water weight, but that's great too!

I am just so excited to be starting again and continue working towards my goal.

I think, therefore I am, if I believe I Will achieve!!
