Taking charge!

So, I really neglected posting this but I kind of feel like this is my outlet where I should be able to say what I want without fear. So...I'm doing it.

I've decided to go back on the low-carb diet, also known as the Atkins. I was on it before Lieutenant left for field training and lost 40 pounds in 4 months. Its a very restrictive diet, especially if you are me, who counts every little olive as a percentage of a carb.






I am doing this to get healthy, feel good about myself and look good FOR MYSELF. I've realized that there are a lot of things I'd like to do and soon - such as get a puppy and be able to have the energy to run and play with her because she deserves that, and so do I.

I didn't want to post this information because I didn't want to be judged by anyone. I judge myself - daily - and that is enough for me.

I have also begun working out with the in home personal trainer known as Your Shape Fitness Evolved for XBOX Kinect. This game is amazing and it really gives me an incredible work out that I've never experienced before. I've linked it below because I believe in it THAT much. I can't wait to see where this "game" will take me.




There is only one right time for getting in shape and that time is now. I don't like dieting, in fact I hate it and I don't want to be a slave to it - but this is what works for me and what will get me to my goal so that I am able to eat what I want without restriction, in moderation of course.

Losing weight is hard, but being out of shape is also hard. As stubborn as I am, I am up for the challenge!
