Made Up My Mind?

I have finally made up my mind and YES- I'm starting to diet or should I say- making a lifestyle change. My eating habits are so off the deep end lately. I don't think I have eaten this way EVER. I decided that if I gain even ONE more pound that I will throw up with disgust with my body. Have you EVER been so humiliated by the fat rolls that just hang on to you? I think I'm probably the only person that will actually describe the yuck that I look at every day. Also- the only one that is so open about it- but I'm truly disgusted with the way I'm looking these days!! Jeff got me a $200 gift certificate to Nordstrom's and I refuse to go shopping until I'm at least 15 to 20 pounds lighter. The last I tried on clothes at Nordstrom's- nothing fit. I have got to do something ASAP!

The first day ended very well when I made my final decision. I got on the treadmill and powered walked 3 miles and burned 500 calories. So I'm thinkin' that if I will wake up and power walk for about 30mins in the morning and either go to the gym and workout 1hour or do treadmill for 3 miles in the evening- I should be able to get this saggy weight of mine off. As you can tell- it is really, really bothering me. The cellulite can't get any worse. I hear that there is NOTHING you can do about cellulite-BUT I can't imagine that lifting weights won't help. I'm going to lift weights until I'm hurting. I'm furious with how I have let myself go! Anybody on board with me?? So I'm posting a before and will post another picture each 30 days. I can not believe I'm doing this BUT I think that if I don't do something dramatic then I won't do anything. I'm serious. I need my blogger friends to be my accountability partners. I will give the details tomorrow on what my start weight is and my goal. I don't know exactly what I'm weighing currently, BUT will find out tomorrow when I head to the gym........

On a much nicer/lighter note: BEAU STARTED SWIM LESSONS TONIGHT! He had a blast. He loves it! It is every night for two weeks. Go Beau!!
