New Year New Me (Again) 2015 Edition




So, every year we always say "This year I am going to lose weight, get fit, and live healthy" Right? Well, I am guilty of it too... Its not just at New Years for me that I make this "declaration of change" but, so far along this journey I have been a miserable failure at living up to it. So, I am trying to figure out how to change things so that I can fix me and be happy...

Yes, I know the picture says 2014, I already mentioned that I have started this journey many times before. :) The first picture was one of my high school senior pictures in 2007, the second was my college graduation picture in 2013... Where I am starting and where I want to end up. At least the direction I am working towards. I find it always helps me to have a visual to I have this picture EVERYWHERE as a motivation to help me keep on track. 

I will be using the blog (yes I've said this before too) to help along my journey and figure out just how to make this happen. My sister and I have decided to work on this together and see if we can't help each other make progress along this journey. Here's her blog if you want to follow her journey as well. 

I am still trying to figure out exactly how I am going to do this and what  want to do to meet my goals. I am hoping to get a new Zumba program on the Xbox that my husband got and some other workout programs. I think having a variety of things will help me to keep motivated. I also want to do some research and figure out exactly what to do since I don't really have much knowledge on this sort of thing... I also bought myself a fitbit to track my activity and help keep me motivated to move... 


Mine is pink so that it matches me more (I am a bright color kinda girl!) 







So, this is the beginning of my journey:

 Weight: 253.7 lbs
Chest: 50 1/2 inches
Waist: 41 1/4 inches
Hips: 51 3/4 inches
Thighs: 31 inches
Arms: 13 3/4 inches

I will update my fitness goals and let you all know how things are going every Friday but I won't be officially weighing in every week. I'm not sure how often I will do it but I will let you know as I figure it all out!

Thank you all for the support and help through this process! I will need all of your help and motivation throughout the journey!
