New ventures
Funny that I should stumble upon this blog again right when I get the great idea for a new blog. I think this is the perfect parking space for my new idea.
When I first introduced myself onto this blog I was eager and excited, and in a completely different place in my life. Now, things are WAY different. My kids are 3 and 5 now, and growing like weeds. I have had a few medical issues that I have yet to address because of money problems. One of them, I am just sure of, is thyroid issues causing me to GAIN weight. I did give up working out when I stopped this blog and was unaware at how much success I had actually had while I was working my ass off. I only discovered my success when I went to put on my old workout pants and laughed. I can't even wear the tights I had for my job this time last year. I was a size 10 then and still thought I needed some serious work. Now? Now I am a 16 and I weigh 184. That's right, I have put on 20 lbs since I started this blog. I manage to bitch to myself in my head on a daily basis about how much I hate myself. I cringe when my husband runs his hand along my back and over my back rolls (he hasn't said a word about it and thinks I am perfect the way I am). I don't go swimming unless it's in a private pool, and I am stuck in pants throughout summer.
Am I obese? No, and I am aware of this. I am aware I am not huge, or really all that "fat" but that doesn't suddenly make me OK with my body, it just doesn't. I am bigger than I ever have been and at nearly 25 yrs old I know I could be doing better. The excuse of having 2 kids is not a good one considering I could easily work at it and be the weight I want to be. It's a matter of working for it. Back when I first started this blog I had a workout partner and I know that is exactly why I was so successful. Sadly, we had a falling out and it's just little 'ole me who has to workout all on my own. My husband wasn't much of a supporter back then and I think that is why I loved having my workout partner around and why I was so successful Now, my husband and I have gone through some huge changes and he is eager to start this new venture with me.
Which brings me to the point of this now, long-winded post. I am going to do an experiment I am going to be going through all of my fitness and health "pins" on pinterest and putting them to the test. Similar to pinterest fail blogs that you see around the internet, only I am going to see if I really can "lose that baby pooch" or "lose 1 size in 14 days" or what have you. I am going to do a combo of video entry and photos of each workout completely putting myself out there in what I am sure will be, the most unflattering ways. I am starting it out with Prevention magazine's "Shrink a Size in 14 Days" weight loss plan. I will post later this evening with my results. I hope to get some cheering and support to help me stick with this because hating yourself is really tiring.

| Me, in July-not too bad, but not as big as I am even now. |
