Time to Shred!!!!

Soooooooooooo it's been forever since I posted.  Why?  Because I gave up!  Yep I said it. I GAVE UP!

 I was on track.  I was hitting the gym at 4-6 days a week.  I was counting calories.  I was losing something.  It wasn't pounds, but my clothes were fitting better.  I had started lifting.  I had started running.  I was getting there.

I was even taking selfies at the gym...look at me, I look bad ass!

So what happened?  I'll tell you exactly what happened.  My mom came to visit for 3 weeks.  No she didn't stop me from eating healthy or from going to the gym.  I let life while she was here get in the way.  I see her once a year, and I made the decision to spend every moment I could with her.

The moment I fell off the wagon.  That's a rum and coke at the Mexican restaurant.  It went all down hill from here, but it was good!

All the time she was here I kept telling my self that when she left I would get back on track.  WRONG!!!!  Think again!!!!  Once you've fallen off the wagon it is hard to get back on.  Now I was up against the holidays.  Thanksgiving was among us.  Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.  No surprise, it revolves around awesome food.  Not only do we do a kick ass Thanksgiving at my house, but we also do one at work.  Seriously, I bring in a roaster and cook at Turkey at my desk.  Hello...greatest smell EVER!!!!

So Thanksgiving came and went.  Then it was on to holiday baking.  I make over 2000 cookies every year.

 That's a shit load of cookies.  I don't care what you say.  While we do our best to give them to family, friends, neighbors, and any body that says they want a cookie we always have left overs.  So of course every night I grab a cookie or 2 or 3.

Then I got bronchitis.  I was sick the entire month of December.  There was no going to the gym.  Though I did loose a couple of pounds because I just didn't wan to eat.

Ok, so now we're in a new year.  Have I gotten back on track? No, not yet.  That's all about to change.

On Sunday I am starting the Shred Revolutionary Diet. 6 weeks, planned meals and exercise. My boss has been doing it and so far he has lost 20lbs in 4 weeks.

Here's the deal.  I don't know if this will work, but I am committed to sticking to the entire 6 weeks.  Why? Because I'm at the heaviest I've ever been (190ish). Because I look at pictures of my self and want to cry. Because I'm tired of my thighs rubbing together.  Because I have really cute skinny clothes and I want to wear them again.

I will do my very best to blog my journey over the next 6 weeks.  Hopefully this will help keep me on track!

Until next time...put the cookie down!
