I am only posting this on my blog because I feel like I need a little extra incentive to stay with this. And by “this” I mean a “diet”. I am notorious for getting all pumped up and dive in head first for about 2-4 weeks. And then I fade. Something happens, and I quit. I’m kind of at the point in my age where I am realizing that my body isn’t going to be able to overcome the junk I put into as well as it has in my 20’s and 30’s. And since having Slater 4 years ago, I really notice it and it kind of scares me. I’m also kind of tired (and ‘kind of’ doesn’t really describe right… I hate it) of my clothes not fitting right or at all. And I refuse to buy clothing any bigger than the size I am currently at. I’m used to going in the dressing room and trying everything on in the dressing room and saying “yes, I love it” to each thing. Now I say “no, that looks terrible”… or it doesn’t even fit.
In my mind, I don’t think I eat terribly except for sugar. Sugar, sugar, sugar… I am a total addict I must admit. I always try to cut back but each day I think ‘this little bit won’t hurt’. And that’s a few times a day everyday. And to be honest, I never even thought about the carbs. I am a cereal and bread lover for sure.
So, a few days ago I ran into a friend who just lost 17lbs in 4 weeks and looks great. She told me she was doing The Belly Fat Cure and so I looked it up when I got home. I’ve been pouring through everything the last few days and started it two days ago.
I only say “maybe” in the post title because who knows… Like I said, I am posting it on my blog for my legions of readers to keep me accountable. Because it’s going to suck if in a few months one of my clients or friends who has seen me recently, sees me looking the same:P But I’m feeling pretty good about it all actually. And after seeing this woman’s post with her progression photos… I think it might be doable. She looks amazing!
So I am using week one’s menu (it’s super easy) and so far so good. And I feel like I can make it through week one. When I get to week two, I will see how I feel. Just taking each day as it comes and not trying to think about this as my whole entire life (although I hope it becomes easy to where I can see that). The other cool thing is that Jorge is in San Diego. While I will probably never meet him, I just think that’s kind of fun.
If anyone wants to join me at anytime, post a comment or email me and we can keep in touch during the journey.
And just for fun, here is a favorite photo from a recent family session … I will post a full series in a few days. But I LOVE this one:)
How darling is this picture??? It makes me smile every time i look at it:) They kind of like their daughter… just a little bit!
That shot of Joe and I is a bit of a set up but Tucker got the shot I wanted exactly:)
My favorite part is Slater just casually blowing bubbles while the chaos ensues around him.
