Found my motivation! On July 11 we are flying to Boston!! Then driving to mid-coast Maine and staying a week at a lake house with my very bestest friend from Virginia!! Cathy and I have know each other since 1st grade but became best friends in 8th grade!!! She was my inspiration to get the lapband and just been there for me all my life. Even though we live 3500 miles apart. So we are both taking our families to Maine for a week. My children will be 2 and 4 and hers are 4 and 6. Plus our husbands be with us who have met before and hit it off.
To top it offf........I will turn 40 during our week stay!!!!!!!!!! EEEEEK! Hard to believe!!!
This is how I am approaching my new found motivation....
I want to feel happy about what I have achieved and know I did my best
Do my healthiest eating and 100 percent effort into my exercise
I want to look at the pictures and feel proud of myself and where I was at in my life (mentally and physically) opposed to the shame I feel when I look at other pictures during my life.
So today starts the count down.
Then I am thinking how is this different from the time we went to Hawaii and I tried unsuccessfully???????....
I have the lapband!!!!!!!!
in addition, I have been doing consistent exercise for a year now, I still have a supportive husband, I just need to fuel my body better. To use the energy to feel good and cut down on empty calories (wine).
Lastly, I am not going to focus on the number on the scale. I need to realize how muscle and fat weight different and focus on my measurements
I also need to blog daily or at least a couple days a week. I need to pick a focus topic instead of ramble like I usually do.
Well, off I go to plan this weeks menus. More blogging later.....
