Ever since there have been POLYNESIAN people on the show, I have been a dedicated fan of THE BIGGEST LOSER!! I love watching the show every Tuesday night from 7pm-9pm, lol. What makes it even better, is the fact that the polys' do such a good job on the "ranch". For some odd reason, it seems harder to lose the weight at HOME with family around, than it is to do it on the "ranch" with a bunch of strangers, and Jillian & Bob!! My guess is, with all the temptations...the good polynesian food, the junk food, the peer pressure, LOL, etc...that's what makes it hard!! But if we were disciplined enough, it wouldn't be all that bad now, wouldn't it? Well, for me, my biggest WEAKNESS is JUNKFOOD....but who doesn't love to eat it right? I have such a BAD HABIT of ALWAYS splurging on sweets, and use my kids as an excuse for buying em' too :( BUT NOT ANYMORE!!! I vow to CONTROL my eating habits, especially when it comes to that!!
Soooooo, with all that said, I have taken upon myself, the challenge of being A "BIG LOSER"!!! hahaha, funny how when you NORMALLY use those terms, it doesn't mean anything good. But in MY CASE, it will probably help me to be a much happier wife, mother, friend, daughter, teacher, & person....cause when I am HAPPY with MYSELF, it makes life much easier to live!! Because I have started this blog, I thought "what a perfect place" for me to record my progress from beginning to end!! So, as of today, April 12th 2010, I weighed in at 2--#(that is for me to know, and you to NEVER find out, LOL)...my goal is get back down to around 195# by August 8th, before I leave to Utah! If...oh wait, hold up, "WHEN" I accomplish that goal, my husband has agreed to take our lil' family on a well-deserved trip to HAWAII since my 2 youngest have not been yet...YAY!! My husband told me that in the only way he thinks I will actually DO THIS & STICK TO IT, is if there is a BIG REWARD or PRIZE in the end, which he's mostly right...LOL! And if I don't accomplish my goal by August 8th, then our family will only be going to Vegas for our family trip, which is still fine with me, but come on....I'd rather be in Hawaii!! lol
This morning was my first day, and I woke up at 5am....at least the alarm went off at 5am, lol! I got out of bed at about 5:20ish...and my husband had me do some leg workouts!! It's been a while, so I was being kinda sluggish, but I did everything he told me too!! I'm proud of myself!! So from here on out, I will be keeping track of my weight loss/gain, hahaha, here on my blog!! GO TEAM ARI!!! lol
oh my gosh, you are amazing. that is such a good goal and such a good idea. dang, you inspire me to want to be better every time i read your blog. lol. so yes you should update frequently on your progress. when will u go to hawaii?? christmas time??? we will be there!! i hope thats when u plan ur trip there. lol.
ReplyDeletei promise fast foods is what I've been eating since february. I used the pregnancy excuse during feb and march and now that i have a baby and dont have the time or energy to cook dinner we still eat out. so now the baby is the excuse. but honestly, i've come to a point where im actually sick of it. i feel gross and i still have 25 pounds to take off from the pregnancy so eating out everyday is not going to help me take the baby weight off. uhhh!!! i feel so gross just thinking about it. I think i'm going to try and do something like this too and maybe blog about it so i ACTUALLY do it. im excited! now, i just gotta make my game plan. thanks ari!!
hahahahahahahaha....u r soooo funny!! i figure, minus well blog it, that way people OTHER THAN MYSELF know that I AM ACTUALLY doing it, ya know?!! Anyways, you still look good for just having a baby...wish i could still look that good after having a baby too, haha!! anyways, good luck with it and I will be keeping up on your blog with your progress as well!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're so good, I need to follow your lead cuz! And you're so right about how feeling good about yourself makes you better for everyone else. I've felt that a lot since baby #2... dang love handles!
