May Day Weight Loss Challenge ~ UGH!!!

I saw this over at Jenna's blog and it yelled "DO THIS" to me!!! I should have seen yesterday's shopping choices as a huge red flag, but no... I just enjoyed it. So, I am going to do this.

I put that I would like to lose 20 pounds. I think that is maybe not quite enough... You have to understand that at over six feet tall 20 pounds is one size for me. I carry weight very evenly so when I gain it takes me almost too long to realize it before I have gained too much. I have been around the same size for many years. I lost a lot of weight when Izzy's accident happened and I looked so much better. While I don't recommend having a near fatal accident with a child for a weight loss program. I think I use food as a reward and although my faith is very strong I still treat myself with food when things are not going well in life.

Exercise hasn't been a part of my recent life either. I am going to say this and try so hard to be understood, not be whiny and not be felt sorry for... but, I am tired. It takes so much of myself both mental and physical to deal with Izzy and with a family etc. I know that if I push to exercise I will have even more energy so I am going to make this a priority. I can't wait to go to sleep at night and hate when it's morning and I have to wake up, I could sleep for a month I think...

Enough explanations and excuses! I'll be posting my loss for the week on Tuesdays and try to post how I've done with food and exercise when I post to hold myself accountable to you guys - my blog friends.
