If Sherri Shepard Can Do it....

SO CAN I!!!!

As I laid on the beach with all 3 of my kids zonked out in the sand.... YES, details later of how dreamy my Vaca was, I read an article about Sherri Shepard announcing live that she was going to lose some weight and show off her new bod in a bathing suit in some amount of time, and she ended up shedding 40 lbs. As I read on I was loving that she was so real... she loves M&M's, hates working out, we totally can relate to eachother. So the Dr who was helping her out told her she didn't need to "diet" she just needed to eat Healthy 4 days out of the week, and be mindful the other 3, set realistic goals and do what you can. Easy Right. I don't know... I'll let you know. While I will not sit here and be like "OMG I need to lose 40 lbs" I will openly and honestly say that I could stand to firm up some areas in my body. If I don't lose a pound BUT am toned up, then fine! But I would sure love to lose 10... that's it!

I decided, as I laid there on my towel with a few extra dimples in my tummy that I am SOOO not crazy about, I am going to do this! Screw my eating Disorder, Screw the No Scale Law in ED recovery land, Screw it all... I have come to realize that I am smart, I know what I need and what I don't need. I know I do not have a healthy relationship with food. Not only in the way of starvation, but also in the way of overeating. I eat for the wrong reasons. Chocolate makes me happy. So I eat chocolate and then do 100 jmping jacks thinking it will change something. I know I am retarded, but that's the way my mind works! Whatever. It changes now. For Me, For my kids, for my wonderful husband who listens to me bitch about my weight day in and day out {Love that Man} ... I am tired of living like this. I am bound and determined to get back in shape the healthy way. I am announcing it out loud so I can be held accountable, and so if anyone wanted to join me, then so be it! Whew..... I am all worked up and out of breath just typing this.

So every Monday I will post my stats, I am not sure how much I will actually reveal. I mean I am still a woman for gosh sakes...but I am promising to my fellow blog readers, I will be as open and honest as I can stand being :)

Vacation was A-M-Azing. Couldn't have done it without my awesome parents and brother. Love you Both! The girls were fabulous and crazy all in the same token, but mostly fabulous. Here are some pictures.

OH OH OH, With all of this openess going on I am jumping on the "Private" bandwagon. I need emails so I can put you on my list of readers. My biggest hold up in doing this is I don't want to lose readers so PLEASE don't feel stupid if we only have run into eachother twice and I don't really remember your name, still list your email. I am a blog stalker too... don't be ashamed ;) Because truly I love having a little Pow Wow I can ramble and preach and complain too. I love you all, so I will give it a couple weeks and I hope to get all of your emails. Thanks.

Happy Dieting... I mean Healthy living, or whatever!
