So yesterday was a very lazy day for me. The boys and I are still shaking off the last bit of this cold we've had all week, and I had no energy whatsoever.
Around 4pm I turned on the TV and saw the a Law and Order: SVU marathon was on. This basically meant that aside from feeding my kids dinner and putting them to bed a couple hours later, my butt was glued to the couch until 11pm when the marathon ended.
As I was laying in bed a short time later, I was feeling pretty down, just thinking about how I did squat yesterday. Then I started thinking about how Richard is coming home soon and that I just don't feel like I have really rocked it in the self-improvement category during this deployment.
That's when I got an idea.
Richard will be home in _ _ days. (Sorry internet folk, can't share the actual number with you. Loose lips sink ships, ya know?). So I was thinking that _ _ days is not long at all, and I have committed myself to eat completely healthy every day for those next _ _ days.

I admit, my self-control with food is shaky, at best. I usually give in to the ebb and flow of my emotions, boredom, or PMS. But I am determined to be strong and in control from here on out for the next _ _ days, because it sounds totally doable to me. And I am putting this out there so you all can hold me accountable.
Also, I plan to work out every day for the next _ _ days. Whether it's walking, or doing a workout video, I will get my heart rate up.
I am realistic here, and I know I won't be my dream size at the end of _ _ days, but once I finish this, I know I will feel accomplished, and like I did improve myself while Richard was away. He will come home to a wife that is confident, healthy and happy, and that is the hottest thing I could possibly wear anyway.

Or maybe that's just what us non-skinny people say.
In any case.
I am excited and feeling totally pumped up about this challenge to myself. I hope you all will encourage me! And if anyone feels like joining me that is great too.
