JJ: Miss you MB!!

Yes, that pretty much sums it all.  I miss you.  And I feel like all of this has taken a back seat to everything else that is going on in your life.  But don't forget (like you've told me countless times) that YOU come first.  Losing weight is something that we both desperately want and need, and because of that, it is sometimes easier to put it off.  Either because of a fear of failure or because we think there are other things that are more important.  But we can't let the things that happen in our lives become excuses.  WE ARE GOING TO LOSE THE WEIGHT.  NO EXCUSES.  Now, I'm usually not a fan of tough love (yes, I admit it, I am a major pussy lol). But I know that is a tactic that is greatly embraced by our dearest MB.  So here goes:  MB, you better get your ass back in gear.  Doing a blog was YOUR idea, so I better start seeing some posts on here ASAP!! If you don't want to bombard my FB with inspirational posts anymore, then that's fine.  But you cannot neglect our blog, which is exactly what you have been doing.  It's been WEEKS since your last post and that is completely unacceptable.  Weekly posts on Fridays was your idea.  Posting tips and inspirational stuff was also YOUR idea.  And I refuse to let this phase out.  We will finish this, and we will do with DEDICATION and PERSEVERANCE.  I love you MB, and I just want to push you to be your best just like you have pushed me.  Hope you're not upset with me.  I meant all of what I said, although in my head I picture it being a little comical too (I hope that came across lol).

ANYWAYS,  so this Friday (2/17) was yet another weekly weigh in.  I came in at 138.2 lbs.  I hate that I gained rather than lost earlier this month, but I refuse to let that bring me down.  To keep me motivated and in check, I have decided to establish weekly goals as well.  The original goal was to be at 135 by our next monthly weigh in (March 8th), so that means I a little bit over 2 weeks to lose 3.2 lbs.  That's about 1.6 lbs each week.  I think I can do better.  I really, really, REALLY want to weigh in at LESS than 135.  Even if it's only 134.999999999. Lol I know it sounds stupid, but for some reason exceeding my goal, even if its by 0.000000001 of a pound, sounds like such an accomplishment to be.  I think it  might have something to do with how well I did my first month.

So confession time: I have not been working out.  Or eating very healthy for that matter.  I don't know what it is that always seems to steer me from making the right decisions.  Anywho, I really want to get back on track this week.  I know it may seem like I say that A LOT, and the truth is, I do.  I'll do fine for a few days and then I'll mess up.  But I'm tired of feeling guilty and like a failure.  I think the important part is to acknowledge the mistake and then move on.  That is the only way to conquer the beast also known as FATNESS.  Because for every time I mess up or fail, I will keep on trying.  I realize that one of my biggest motivators in my ego.  I know that might sound weird, but in all honesty, there is nothing like someone compliment you on your good you look or even better, on how much weight you've lost.  I live for that shit Lol

So starting today, I will work out every day.  Even if it's just one of those super quick workouts.  Like literally 4 minutes.  Because SOMETHING is ALWAYS better than NOTHING.  This here is a workout plan that MB posted on her FB and that I promptly snagged Lol It's a 14 day weight loss plan that involves cardio and strength training.  That one is a tad bit lengthier, so for those of us who are always on the go, here is a SUPER short workout that always leaves me breathless.  Hope you enjoy!! :)
