Accountability

I took before pictures today. I finally messed around with the camera's self timer and a stack of books to find the best height. I was afraid to take the stack too high though, it would have killed me to see my DSLR fall, and inevitably smash onto my dining room table. Note to self: invest in tripod.

My official "Before the 21 Day Fix" Picture

Taken September 17th, 2014

Starting weight: 190 pounds

I posted this photo on Facebook, throwing care to the wind, and putting it all out there for the world to see. Posting it on here feels safer, a much smaller audience, but none the less, that's my post-three babies belly! I've officially declared war on myself. Time to do something about it. Make some serious changes! Take "after" pictures that will blow everyone's socks off. There's no reason why I can't do it, I have 30 minutes to work out during the day. I like eating a whole foods diet, but I also have a sweet tooth that sometimes can't be stopped. It's going to be finding a middle ground after The 21 Day Fix is over, but I'm going to focus on the NOW, focus on my WHY. I want to run the YMCA Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving. I also want to go to a local college for a Health and Wellness degree. I need to be the example, so I need to get it in gear!! I'm not getting any younger, haha! T minus 265 days, 3 hours, and 13 minutes until the "Dirty 30".

But who's counting? 

My big goal is to lose thirty pounds by my 30th birthday. That would put me at 160 pounds, with a healthy BMI and body fat percentage. Completely, 100% doable! I already know that I want to tackle PiYo after The 21 Day Fix, and the possibilities afterwards are huge. I'm so excited to share this journey, and I hope I can inspire at least one other person to take that step and start working on their goals, then it's a win for sure.
