Happy New Year! As I have posted previously, I joined the #2014BloggerChallenge and the first January prompt is New Year's Inspiration.
This is my inspiration.
The last time I wore this dress was for my birthday the year I turned 27. I want to be able to fit into this dress again and look HOT in it for my 33rd birthday this year.
While I have lost a little weight and have made strides toward living a healthier life in 2013, I intend to go full force toward this goal. The year I turned 30, I had a goal of 30lbs in my 30th year. Well, two months after I turned 30, I found out I was pregnant with Cecily so that went out the window. Now I have a new goal, 32 in my 32nd year (although if I lose more than 32 lbs that's ok too!). Taking back my health is a top priority. I know that it will only get harder and harder the older I get and I have some hereditary factors against me so this is something I not only want but need to do for myself. I intend to be around a long time with my husband and children!

If I could use 35 pounds this year I'd be thrilled! I can't manage to lose 10 though so I doubt I'd be able to lose 35.
ReplyDeleteMe, too!! I haven't even started on mine, yet... I just don't know what to write about, but you may have inspired me :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this as part of the challenge. Good luck with your goal. If you need to communicate via email or anything to stay accountable for anything just send me an email I'd love to help out in anyway I can. I can't wait to continue to read your challenges. Have a wonderful day Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you Holly! Hope you accomplish your goal =)
ReplyDeleteI better be! I have gotten rid of a lot of my old clothes but I can't get rid of it because I love it so.
ReplyDeleteI've lost 20 since going paleo. But, I'm not counting that in my 32 in 32 :-)
ReplyDeletewow, that is impressive! I want to try paleo but I'm just not disciplined enough.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I intend to! :-)
ReplyDeleteYou've so got this - your kids are a great excuse to exercise anyway :) So excited for you!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great goal to have!! You can do it! Make sure you keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteGreat inspiration!! You can do it!
ReplyDeleteI know! I cannot wait until it warms up a little so I can go on walks with them through the neighborhood again.
ReplyDeleteI keep a weekly tally of weigh ins on my weight loss page, but I intend on writing a post here and there about my progress.
ReplyDeleteGood luck in achieving you goal for 2014- I believe you can do it! Wishing you and your family a happy and healthy year!!

Way to go Holly, the first step is making up your mind! Remember, slow and steady wins the race so no need to get discouraged if things don't happen as quickly as you planned. The most important thing is that you keep on moving towards your goal. No giving up, you've got this :)
ReplyDeleteHi Holly, I found your blog through 2014 Blogger Challenge. I wish you luck with your challenge and just wanted to say I find Strava and MyFitnessPal great for keeping track of exercise. Jules over at http://www.lippylikes.com/2013/12/new-year-new-me.html also uses (what sounds like a great app) "Model my diet" where you can see what you'll look like as you progress which should be motivational :)
ReplyDeleteWay back when I did Weight Watchers, I used this web site that would show you what you'll look like as you lose weight. It was pretty cool. I'll have to check that app out!
ReplyDeletehay holly i found you thro the challenge go you! I lost 7 and a half stone so I know how hard it is good luck
