THIS IS IT

Just like the late Michael Jackson, "This Is It!!!!"


No, I am not abandoning my attempted, and I use this word very loosely, weight loss. This is it...like this is the magic number or something.

It hit me this morning, I believe, after I scarfed down three mini Easter cupcakes. I am an All or Nothing kind of a gal. I think, just because there is a little bit of choclate in the house, I can't workout or even eat well enough. After I scarfed down those delectable little treats I relized this isn't IT!!

I can't do the All or Nothing thing forever. Life isn't perfect and neither is losing weight. I am not on the Biggest Loser campus and can't pretend I am. I have four kids and a husband. I am a couponing queen, a stay at home mom and a fabulous baker!! Those things I can't and won't change either. My point is, in MY personal life there is no way I am going to eat perfect 24/7 365 days a year. That doesn't mean it won't evolve to that point, but for right now it's ridiculous for me to imagine I can do that.

So after scarfing those mini treats down, you know what I did??!!! NOOOOOO, I didn't eat another one, I put on JILLIAN!!!

I did about 20 minutes of The Last Chance Workout and I am just happy. Happy, I tell ya!!!  Sure it wasn't 90 minutes, but it was a start. It's been 2 months since I have done anything remote. So for me to do this, its HUUUUGGGEE!!!

Then I realize, maybe...just maybe, I have not looked at the big picture.. I have not lost any crazy amount of weight, but maybe I need to take this slow and not worry about losing 8 lbs a week. Then, I look at what I have done in the past month or so!

* I drink a crap ton of water..I really don't like water, but I drink it like crazy now. I drink a soda once a week or so!! This is HUUUGGGEEE!!!
*I take at least one daily walk a day with my kids.
* I have been having smaller portions for dinner.


I am getting there and I am going to try to update daily so that I can keep myself accountable!!!!
