We are on the verge of a new year. There are so many things running through my head!
I have so many things to be thankful for...
Most of all, I am thankful for Elvis. Without him, I'm sure I wouldn't be where I am. He is a wonderful man and the perfect one for me. He is strong for me. He is good for me. He takes care of me. I'm incredibly lucky have met someone that loves me, encourages me, cares for me, and is just the best blessing.
I am thankful that I quit smoking. It's been a year and a half. I can't believe that! It's been a difficult road but I know it's for the best. It has allowed me to get better, and stonger!
I am thankful for the Atkins diet. It's working for me! I'm really wanting to see 264 when I get on the scale tomorrow, but if I don't, it's not the end of the world. Last New Years Eve I was 304. I'm just happier to say I'm SMALLER than I was last year! :) It's not the goal I had... but it's smaller... and that's good enough for me. I know that I'm going on. I'm not done. I'm going to keep it up all year long. Last year, I did really good for a month, and then I started slacking off. I didn't go back on the diet until the end of October. I tried on and off thru out the year, but didn't stick to it for very long. If I lost 40 lbs this year, and I didn't really do what I was supposed to be doing, Imagine what 2012 will hold... I'm really wanting to see 199 by next new years. I'd love to see less, but 199, I don't ever remember that weight... So it'd be really awesome to get there.
I'm having knee surgery on Wednesday... I'm hoping that - with that surgery - I'll be able to get my ass back out there and work out. I'm dying to ride the bikes that Mom and Dad got us for Christmas!! I'm also dying to start walking again. It's pretty cold outside, and I love walking when it's cold. Lastly, We got a kinect on Black Friday. I hurt my knee on Black Friday. SO I've never gotten to play Dance Central 2. I can't wait to get out there, get my groove on and look like a fool.
I have so many wants... so many resolutions for next year. I want to get under 200 lbs. I don't care if it's 199... I want to be under 200!! Losing 100 more lbs would be incredible. That would put me at 164... But I'm not sure that nearly 9 lbs a month is a possibility for me... I'm a slow loser. I know that. I read about a guy... Gene Boley, who was on strict induction for an entire year. If it wasn't on the approved Atkins food list for induction, he didn't eat it. He moved on to OWL last week. He's running 12 miles a day! I want to run. I really do. There is something really freeing about running. One day I will run in a race. I may not win, but that doesn't matter. One day I will run. That is a goal. I have a girlfriend online that is going to work with me to getting to 199. She seems to think we can do it sooner. I really hope she's right!!! :)
Here's to 2012... I'm going to kick your ass!!!
