I am not one for the grand New Year’s Resolution. I have never been one for making them and they feel trivial to me. If I need to make a commitment or a change, then I should be able to make one no matter what time of the year it is. However; I am going to make a commitment. Not a resolution, in the traditional sense, but commitment.
I want to reach my goal weight by my 25th birthday. I need to realize that this goal is possible, but that it is a marathon; not a sprint. My body shape and weight is not going to take place overnight or over the course of a few weeks. It will take hard work and discipline, but I am going to do this.
And the Fitness board on pinterest.com has been great motivation so far.
I’ve not quite lost 20 pounds since I started in September, but I know that I am losing pounds and interests…little at a time. I’ve got the measurements, I’ve got the scales, and I’ve got the tools. I just need to stop reaching for the cookies whenever I get upset or bored. It’s something I’ve been guilty of for a while.
As far as eating out goes, things are improving. I’ve been out a few times for work and date nights, but the number has been drastically reduced and I have almost completely stopped eating at fast food restaurants (maybe one trip to DQ in the past month?)… I’m doing this 
Wish me luck. I’ll keep you updated.
