I am so full...

I am so full.... of baloney! Not really because I do not eat baloney or bologna - I think it is gross and not sure exactly what it consists of. Therefore I do not eat it, but that is not the point! The point is I made some strong statements and claims last year regarding my attempts to lose weight and never followed through! That is right I just blew it off - the holiday's came and went and now I am worse off than before. I gotta get my head in the game and take care of business.

I entered a weight loss challenge (of sorts) at work today... we tried this last year and nothing came of it. But I am hoping this time will be different. You are probably wondering why start something like that on a Wednesday - well we had to start sometime so today was the day. I have to say stepping on that scale was nerve racking and the number that came up was more than I thought it would be... not my highest weight ever, but too close for comfort. I am going to set a goal... not sure what it will be yet... I will post that later this week. I have found that setting a goal and announcing it is helpful!

As a side note about setting/announcing a goal...earlier this month I was selling Girl Scout cookies on behalf of my 7 year old niece - once I told people I wanted to sell 20 boxes for her the orders started pouring in! I upped my goal to 50 boxes, let people know and WHAM! I sold 52 boxes! Yes that's right 52 BOXES - I kicked some serious Girl Scout Cookie ass! (the cookies not an actual Girl Scout) I have not placed an order yet for my own personal consumption and based on this blog I probably should refrain from ordering at all. But it's for the Girl Scouts - Troop 1140 - I can't let them down, right? We will see what happens.

So I think I will head down to the basement tonight and dig through the remains of the Christmas wrapping and other stuff that has been sent down there to never be seen again and find the DVDs I never opened. I gotta do something! Plus I have a lot of laundry that needs to be done so I will be in general vicinity of the box the DVDs are in. (It is astounding how much laundry 2 children can create on a weekly basis... between the washer and dryer and the dishwasher something is always running at my house.)

Check back soon for my goal announcement and what my plan will be to try and lose some weight.
