90 Day Project

In the spirit of finally losing weight (and getting back to blogging, I'm starting a 90 Day Get Fit Project for myself. Starting today and for the next 90 days I am buckling down, focusing and sticking to getting fit. The plan involves the following:

1. p90x: This is not something I've purchased, because we are on a budget these days. But a new friend has it and is looking for someone to do it with her. I said sure! First off, I have been dying to make close friends since we moved here and I figure working out together six days a week would help that effort. Second, I watched the infomercial this weekend and I want to look like that!

2. Weight Watchers Online: I signed up on Friday and am going to use this instead of the p90x nutrition program. My focus is on eating filling, healthy foods, but the p90x program seemed too complex. If I'm going to stick to it, I'm going to need something easy. Plus, I love the Weight Watchers program. I feel like their advice is smart and the plan is really healthy (if you do it the right way!)

3. Blogging: I plan to try to blog every weekday about my progess. This blog has been inactive for about a year now and this will be a great way to get it up and running again.

4. Mini-challenges: These are going to be little challenges that last 30 days that I am going to use to break some of my worst habits. The mini-challenge for the first 30 days is cutting out fast food for breakfast. I am HORRIBLE about this one. It's a waste of money and makes me feel sluggish all morning (not to mention it just puts a bad start eating-wise on the whole day). So, that habit is the first to go. Goodbye Chickfila burritos and hashbrowns, Donut Palace donuts and kolaches, Burger King Cheesy Bacon Whateveritscalled. Hello oatmeal!

Wish me luck! I've committed to a lot of different weight loss "plans" over the years and quit. So I HOPE you believe me when I say this time I'm really going to do it. My goal is to lose about 30 pounds in this 90 day time period.

Saly! I'm glad you are still reading! :)

I've been putting off losing this "baby weight" for too long now (and I'm pretty sure he's getting too old for me to use that excuse).

You can join in too, just set a goal and work on it for 90 days!
