I'm sort of at a cross roads in life. I've been a stay at home wife/mother for around 5 years now. My one and only child is 4. The 35 lbs that I've never lost from pregnancy haunt me. Is it so bad that I still call it "baby weight"? Ummm yeah. So I think I'm going to use this blog to find some accountability in my life.
With the new year comes New Year resolutions. So here are mine: drink more water, eat healthy snacks, and exercise 3 days a week. Let me explain.
1. Drink More Water.
I hate water. I like my water with a side of aspartame and caffeine. Is it so wrong that I need my beverages to keep my energy flowing throughout the day?
2. Eat Healthy Snacks.
This is some sort of psychological game I'm playing with myself. If I say "eat healthier".. I will binge on junk. I know myself. Saying that I'm going to "eat healthy" = diet. Cue chocolate and Mcdonalds. I think buy saying I'll eat healthier snacks is my way of convincing myself it really is only small changes.
3. Exercise 3 Days A Week.
This is me asking for a miracle. Somewhere in my mid 20's I decided that I was against exercising. (cue AHA! moment as to why I have 35 extra pounds) I am soooooooooooooo lazy. Did you count the "o's" in that sooooooooooooo? There are not enough "o's" in so to express the level of my laziness.
I lack motivation. I also lack energy, will power, and a six pack of abs. So this is where the title of this post comes in. Accountability. I've got a few days before the New Year to practice my new resolutions. So have a drink or several for me. I'll be that mom who is asleep by 9:30pm when the ball drops New Years Eve... well duh, I'll have a workout to attend in the morning.
