What is it about the New Year that makes everyone so excited about bettering them selves and starting fresh? In reality, New Years Day is just the day after New Years Eve. Nothing changes. If you had bills that needed paid, dishes in the sink, or any other "daily" thing on the 31st...it will still be there on the 1st.
But regardless of what I think, the tradition continues and the world continues to make promises to themselves that they rarely keep.
I, on the other hand, make several attempts to "get healthy" throughout the year. This past year was the closet I have been to almost making a change! From July until October I had lost a total of 30 pounds! It felt great! I bought new jeans and wore clothes that had not fit me in years.
However, life took hold, once again and the unhealthy choices I was making to loose that weight was no longer plausible. Within 2 months the weight returned and my new clothes were shoved back into the dark corners of my closet.
Depressed and ashamed I made excuse after excuse to myself and to my friends and family on why the weight returned, unwilling to face the truth. New Years came and went with me refusing to join the world in making any sort of resolutions.
And then it happened. I looked in the mirror and could see those 30 pounds back on my body.
"What in the heck am I doing?" I thought.
So it begins again. I began looking around for help. This time I will not do it alone! AND I will NOT do it unhealthy! I signed up for the Treasure Valley Weight Loss competition and am on a team with Nampa Fit Studios! I am sooo excited to start this new chapter in life!!!
A guess a part of me can't help but join the rest of the world...but just a few days late :)
