Accountability Starts Here.

I am using this blog to document my journey to weight loss on Power 90. I am hoping that keeping a live blog will help me to stay accountable during my journey. After many, many attempts to lose the extra weight I have been carrying around since the birth of my first daughter (over 7 years ago), I am wiping the slate clean, forgetting about the other failed attempts, and starting over. I am hoping that this blog will give me some accountability during my long journey to find my healthy self and be a good role model for my girls. This past weekend I received my copy of Power 90 in the mail. Tomorrow marks the start of my new beginning. I am 5'3" and am starting out weighing 175lbs and wearing sizes 14-16. My goal over the next 90 days is to shed 30lbs. Over the next year I plan to lose a total of 50lbs and "push play" as many times as needed to make that happen! I have renewed motivation to lose the weight - my oldest daughter is 7 years old and my youngest is 2. I really want to be a good role model for them and help them to embrace a healthy body image for themselves as they grow. I am also doing this for me. I am sick and tired of being ashamed of my body. Going forward I refuse to blow off invitations from old friends because I don't want them to see how I have let myself go! I am tired of trying to hide my weight and missing out on fun because of it. So, my journey begins here. I am vowing to do my best to shed this fat suit that I have been buried under. Wish me luck!
