The Beginning…
January 7th, 2010 at 10:10 pm . Posted in Goals .The pounds I will be melting off deserves its own blog. That’s right… I’ll be posting here about my journey as I know it will not be easy. As many of you know, you can also find me on my other blog – luxe chandelier.
I took a “before” picture of myself last week and will post it up later. You can all probably see by now that I haven’t mentioned my weight. I know it’s just a number but still I don’t feel ready to share the number on here yet. That is my next goal though is to overcome that fear and post it for the world to see.
I have been on the 21 day challenge where I promised to work out for 21 days to make a new habit. I have 11 more days to go! A few days ago I started feeling the changes in my mood and energy. I also have been sleeping so much better now. It’s amazing how great I feel and it actually motivates me to keep going because I love how I’m feeling.
My dad is my “personal trainer” and has been going to the gym with me. He’s always waiting for me when I pull up into the parking lot. It has become a routine where I throw my wallet & keys in his gym bag after giving him a hug. We then hop onto the elliptical bike and start exercising! His excitement and amazing comments really does help me feel good about myself.
Here’s to the beginning of this blog… and a long successful journey!

Its great to have someone there to lovingly motivate you and give you a nudge, I try to get my hubby to do that for me but sometimes he forgets.
You will definitely meet your goal!

I love it! I’m subscribing! I’ve been hoping to make my WL journey a sideblog (like.. “Less LaMidge” lol) because I think doing this helps us stay realistic, positive and accountable!

First of all, I think you’re awesome for creating this blog! I am going to be starting Weight Watchers on Thursday and I’m so psyched to follow this blog and change my life as well too!

Hi Steph Anne! I subscribed, and am excited to follow along with your success! Like others have said, YOU are such an inspiration. I have caught myself thinking of grabbing something to eat that I shouldn’t, and then remember I need to stick to my goals and be doing that in a way I feel I am also supporting you to stick with yours!
