My Weight Loss Goal



Here is my new weight goal for the next 4 months before my family goes to Hawaii in December.

"Desired Weight: 135-140 Lbs before December 16th, 2012"
Lbs to lose: 30-35

I did it, I said how much weight I need to lose on the internet for everyone to see! AHHH- But I think this will help me. I have tried several times to start a diet and exercise plan over the past 2 years and  I do great for about 3 days and then I have 1 bad day and give up. But last week when my  family was here we wrote down what our desired weight goals were for our Hawaii Trip, and needless to say after everyone put down how much they wanted to lose it was embarrassing to say how much I wanted to lose. Even my cute pregnant sister-in-law has less to lose than I do and she hasn't even had the baby yet! But that got me motivated. I have decided to start eating less and healthier choices for food and I go to bed early so I can get up early to go out and exercise. So far I am 10 days strong and down 3.5 pounds! YEAH!!! But like I said before I do good at the beginning, its the long run that I need motivation for. So... I signed up for Weight Watchers and am doing that with a church friend so I will be accountable each week for my food intake and exercise.  I also look at really cute outfits on Pinterest all day and think "When I get skinny I can buy that outfit" haha, kind of a mean thing to do to myself but it is working. Also I am tired of my body aching in places it has never before because of the weight gain (mainly my back, and joints!)

There was never a big push in my family when I was younger to eat healthy and exercise so once I got out of high school and off on my own to college my weight started to pack on and its just been hard to keep it off, I LOVE food so much, and I love sleep even more so to get up early has been hard.

Anyways I figured if I put it on here for everyone to read, it would help me to stick this through. I want to do a lot of things (take family photos, buy a new wardrobe, have less back aches, feel pretty) but are all dependent on my weight, so.... here  I go... wish me luck

Car Purchase

We spent all day last Saturday at the dealership trading in our two cars into one bigger car that we will have for the next 20 years. We are so happy with our purchase!
 We had come back to the house to pick up both of our cars and get all the paperwork that we needed to take back in order to make the purchase. We had already been there for 3 hours in 100 degrees!!!! ( PS in this picture while we were standing there posing a bird pooped on my HEAD! Eww and haha)
 This was after we purchased the new car and walked out and saw our two old cars already placed on the lot next to each other :( it makes me sad to say bye to a car every time. Thanks for taking care of us all those years.
 Here is a new car! 2012 Toyota 4-runner
 These were pictures from earlier in the day- I think they show the color a little better
We are super excited and LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I almost cried the first time it got dirt on it.

Our summer vacations are now coming to a close and work is going to pick back up really fast. We will now start the countdown to Hawaii in December,  I already started my Christmas shopping!
