Being Jaded611

2008 is over!

It took 16 lbs of fat with it, and though I didn’t reach my goal of being under 200 lbs by Dec 31st I came pretty damn close.  I’m starting 2009 at 211 and saying goodbye to 227.  See ya!

I’ve left behind lethargy, sickness, shame, and excuses.  I’ve left behind a person who couldn’t climb a set of stairs without reaching for an asthma inhaler.  I’ve left behind a person who could barely get through her work day but wound up working two jobs (not easily, but she still did it).  However, I have brought over the person who despises taking a picture in her underwear, because really, who enjoys doing that when you have so much work ahead of you?
No one really enjoyed the "I’m naked in a room full of people" dream we had as a kid and this is no different.  Maybe that will change when I get my kick ass body lol.

This year it’s all about ME.  I’m putting myself first.  Right now my clothes are laid out for the gym (5am) and my bag is packed.  I’ve changed my schedule at my 2nd job to make room for my workouts.  Those are now non-negotiable.

My short term goal is to reach 199 by February 1st.  February 2nd is my business trip to Tucson Arizona and I REFUSE to have the seat belt on the plane just barely fit me.  Nope, don’t think so.

My long term goal has been dubbed Operation Jessica Rabbit!  But with muscles! lol  It’s no fun having a natural sashay when everything else is jiggling on you.  Not cute.  So, by the end of May 2009 just in time for my business trip to Las Vegas (woo-hoo!) I will be 40 lbs lighter and looking incredibly buff…or buff-like lol, at 170 lbs!  That’s right…hold your applause everyone…thank you, thank you.

I’ve met some great people on this site and I’m so thankful for each and every one of you.  I even made a wonderful friend, who somehow has telepathy and calls/emails me when I need it most (that’s your shout out Amber!).  

Remember, you don’t know where you’re going until you know where you’ve been.  Now go get yours!
