New Conclusion

I believe I have finally solved my problem!.......I'm not overweight......I'm just too SHORT! hahaha...ya ya I know I'm dumb. Leave me alone.


But for reals. I used to say (and this was like two days ago) if I didn't lose weight and get in shape for my own wedding then I'd never do it. I thought that was all the motivation I needed. Then I got to really thinking about it the other night. If I don't lose weight by my wedding, does that mean I've lost my chance? Oops sorry you were lazy, gotta be fat forever now...HELLS no it doesn't! So I've readjusted my thought process. I've finally decided I'm READY to COMMIT to the HARD work that is ahead of me. Anyone that knows me really well knows that I'm not gonna do crap till I've decided I want to and it's on my terms (probably a huge down fall of mine but hey I am who I am, all I can do is work on it). I kept having to start the 30DS over and over again before because deep down I wasn't ready to really commit and stick with it. This time around I'm sticking to the workouts, I'm eating healthier and it's all because I WANT to do it. Not because I'm getting married (though that helps), not because the magazines and TV tell me I need to,  but because I FREAKIN WANT TO! I am a stubborn, hard-headed chick. My family, my fiance', and my friends can all tell you that. But this time I'm determined and that makes all the difference in the world. Dave Ramsey has a great saying that I've just recently taken to heart and started to live by "It's 80% behavior and 20% head knowledge." That is so true! And it applies to a heck of a lot more than just weight loss (he is talking about it towards finances but I've adjusted it to all aspects of my life).

BTW I'm also addicted to Dave Ramsey, CHECK. HIM. OUT. ...NOW...go do it, I'll wait.

So it's taken me a while to get back and get my measurements and before pics up, but here they are. 

(Please pardon the knee fat and chunky thighs, they're a work in progress :) )
Measurements before 30DS:
Weight: 156
R arm: 14
L arm: 14 1/2
Bust: 37 3/4
Waist: 30
Hips: 43
R Thigh: 26
L Thigh: 26 1/2

Today was day 5 of 30DS and I have done better with each day. It's exciting to get through  all of something that I previously had to modify. I can feel my body getting stronger, and I feel like I can see myself getting smaller in some areas. I'm pumped to keep this going and start Jillian Michael's Ripped in 30 (another 30 day workout system). If I complete boy 30 day workout programs I'll reward myself by getting her 90 day system Body Revolution. 

Her workouts are 30 minutes MAX! I can totally do 30 minutes a day. If not, then I'm just bein a lazy butt and don't have the right to complain about the way I look. But I'm workin hard and I'm feeling GREAT!
