About Me

I've realized that checking out and taking the "easy" road has darn near killed me. This is me showing up, checking in, and attempting to undo the damage I've done.

Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition

I had a light bulb moment as I was watching Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition - I have really put in the effort to truly lose weight. I was watching Rachel tonight and she worked her butt off to lose that weight. I put in maybe 30 minutes of half assed effort. I really need to step up my game if I'm going to lose any weight. I've read that when you are as overweight as I am you need to workout 2 hours a day to maintain a weight loss I wonder if this is true.

I know I've watched the Biggest Loser for years but for some reason it actually clicked tonight how much time and effort these people put in to lose weight. I need to have that dedication. Of course I know that it's not realistic to work out as much as they do on Biggest Loser because that is their full time job for 8 hours a day. I don't have that kind of time and I don't think it's healthy at least at home. They have trainers and medical personnel that monitor them all of the time. I do however think that I need to work harder than I have been. I will admit I do dog my workouts - just because I can, so I know I can work harder.

I haven't started my no eating out anymore yet. I will start tomorrow. I know that I'm always saying tomorrow and tomorrow never comes but I am determine to make tomorrow the day. I need to clean out the fridge before I go to bed tonight, I think that will help.
I also think I need to see a foot doctor about my pain in my foot. That gives me an excuse for not working out as hard as I could if it wasn't hurting. The truth is I can barely walk after my workout, but I doesn't really hurt all that must during the workout. I need to take away that excuse.
