Hello Monday, and all you bring with you. What a day!
Food wise, I did pretty good.
Let's get to the brass tacks and then I can ramble
Weight: 212 (same...boring!)
Breakfast: Banana and Coffee (not on purpose to eat so little, read on, kids were nutso)
Lunch: Hardboiled Egg, Salad, peas, 2 oz. turkey
Snacks: 2 clemintines, Fiber One bar, green tea
Dinner: 2 Pork Tenderloin Medallions, sweet potato salad, coleslaw
Snack: Cup of milk and carrots
Today, my kids decided to stage a coup against me, maybe to break me down and get me to snack on the cake left by friendly neighbor (for the kids), but I held my ground and won the battle of food...even if I did lose the battle of the kids. They were crazy people today. In the morning, I had two neighbor friends over for chat and play. The kids were NUTS, I didn't even recognize them, an amazing headache started...Enter In-Law's in saints clothes! Nana came and Hava calmed to a pleasant girl, but the boy who was a fright never settled down until nap time. My sainted in-laws stayed and ran interference for me and Gabey. When my white knight arrived from work I left for my massage (it is on trade otherwise I wouldn't have gotten it) and I came home to fed kids and normalcy! My massage went long and it was GREAT. She is amazing. If you live in the Metro and need someone let me know, she is great!
As far as exercise goes for today, I did an hour of housework (please note, in-laws were coming over so I actually did 2 hours of housework in one hour and worked myself up a good sweat!)
I did stair master for 20 minutes and yoga for 30 minutes.
I am looking forward to a bath after the kids go to bed and reading of some fun magazines.
Today as I was getting my massage in the silent moments I was all excited about being the skinny person I see in my mind, and wondering what great feat I will accomplish in my next year (2011). Oh, being motivated is good. I need to keep reminding myself of that when the days lack motivation!
Today one of my dearest of the dear friends answered her phone call from me saying "You are Brave!" Not hello. I thought she was referring to this blog, but she was referring to my posting of "the" weight...Yeah, it is either brave or dumb. I don't care, it is a number, I am not defined by it. Ok well maybe today I am, but next week and next year...it will be ground gained and I feel it necessary to me to put it out there, so I'll take being brave! Thanks Lady for the compliment. I love it! It is because of friends like you who love me the way I am that make me brave!
Thanks for reading, pass me along to your friends to read and follow! I am not perfect, and am sure I will incur some bumps in the road, but I expect them, and will move right over them. I am excited to be me. I am transparent and promise to be that way in my blog entries, so more of you (in your transparency) can relate!
If any of you would like to join my journey. Please feel free to do so, privately or on my blog. Just post daily comments with your weight and high/low points!
I am excited to lighten the load along with you!
God Bless,
Heidi

Day 1: Getting my head in the game...
So, after many years of hating getting dressed, shopping, and even going out with friends or to family functions, I have decided that I CAN lose the weight and I WANT to lose the weight. I thought you'd all like to join in and encourage me.
I am super social, love fashion, enjoy eating, I have a great family both my own family and extended. All of my closest friends are skinny, beautiful and fabulous. They tell me I am beautiful as I am. Some of them have known me when I weighed in at a whopping 110 lbs when I graduated high school and others have known me as the (satisfied) 160 pounder and some have only known me as the 200+ pounder that I am today. All of my fabulous friends love me as I am. Recently, one of my best friends told me, I am beautiful the way I am, but she will support me through this. That is what I need! Another one of my best friends earlier this year, said something to the tune of, I remember you when you were a rail (too thin, in her book) and to see me now, was different, but once I started talking and making her laugh during a terrible time in her life, she said, I forgot your weight and you are the same person.
I think it is these amazing people that are going to get me through this.
My mom and I were talking about our weight, she is a beautiful and happy women, I was saying how I wanted to lose this weight and she said, you must not want it enough, because if you did...you would. Thanks Mom! You are right. So here I go.
I woke up, not waiting until tomorrow or New Years (note today is SUNDAY) to start my new life. I ate great for breakfast, refused the tempting and tasty Panera at church and although I probably ate too much lunch, it was all healthy! I am using the Weight Watchers' Core Plan, focusing on avoiding sweets, sodium, starches and fried anything. I know I can do this! I have started 3 businesses, made it to the rank of Captain in the Army. Had amazing jobs, raising two awesome pre-schoolers, got my Masters and graduated with a 3.98, and more. (This list of accomplishments is for me, not to gloat or whatever...) Remember my past accomplishments shows me that I CAN do this and I WILL do this. The fact that my health and fitness is much more important than many of those things on my list (except family). I have to look back at those things to keep me moving.
Today is my anniversary. I have been married to my husband for seven years today. He married a hot little 135 pound woman, who ran, worked out daily and ate rather healthy. So for my 8th anniversary (one year from today) I am going to give him back his wife. He married a skinny woman. Today, as I was contemplating this blog, I actually thought to myself, would my adorable, talented, smart, husband even consider dating the me of today? I thought to myself, sadly, probably not. Nothing against my sainted husband, but he is very fit and fitness is one of the top 10 things of importance to him. So I think he and I would be friends, but doubtful to be lovers. At this weight in my life, I would likely not have the gall to ask him "out" like I did back then.
All this to say...here I am. I am motivated, excited and anxious to watch the Heidi that I see in my mind come out and show the world it is do-able, even if I am not on The Biggest Loser. I can do this, with my friends, family and blog-followers!
