Okay, so let me start off by saying that I have officially decided to cut the shenanigans and DO SOMETHING! I have been struggling with many a things these past couple years, like never finishing what I start, not losing those last stubborn pounds I've been talking about since I don't know when, starting a career I'm really happy with, finding that balance that we all feel like is so out of reach, etc., etc., etc. There are probably about a million other things I could add to that list, but for now lets just talk about the one I have decided to devote the next 40 days to.
I am finally going to get in the best shape of my life, I have about 35 pounds I want to lose, not to mention a whole wardrobe that has been going to waste for the past 3 years now and growing! I am going to be blogging for the next 40 days about the day-to-day struggles of this road I am choosing to take. I am doing it to mostly keep my self accountable and if I am lucky there might actually be someone reading this that might find comfort in going on this little journey with me.
After all this wasted time of being idle enough is enough! I can not and absolutely will not be that women that goes to another party or girls-night-out and feel like I am the fat one; so uncomfortable I can barely breath and I wined up spending most of the night tugging at my clothes and pulling on my hair as if that is going to make me feel better. And to top it all off I feel so horrible and think "I am definitely going to start eating right tomorrow" only to find myself shoving 1/2 dozen oreos down my throat!
I have cheated and started this journey a little early and I am right now on my day two. I have chosen to go the low-carb route since eating too many carbs and too much sugar seems to be my problem. Once I have reached my goal I will then slowly add back in whole grains and other healthy foods I am currently not consuming. The plus side is I love to cook and I am very creative in the kitchen, the down side is I love to cook! I seem to find my mind running wild with decadent full carb and full sugary recipes that would be divine! But for 40 days I can desist, because I know my reward will be much better than a triple fudge brownie.
I want to thank you (whoever you may be) that you are taking the time to go on this journey with me! I challenge anyone who is up for it to take on this task together! I will be adding recipes that are permitted for your pleasure. Oh and yes I did notice that I will be committed to this 40 day retreat over Thanksgiving, the blessed holiday with an assortment of baked goods almost too hard to resist, but I MUST AND I WILL! I bid all you fellow bloggers farewell till tomorrow!
Warm Regards,
Candace
