First week and verbally expressing my goals!

[letsgetorganized]

Okay my fellow Trim Downers, I am 53 years old and I am horribly out of shape. I have really let myself go. I am a stay at home blogger and I have always been guilty of never putting myself on the list! My husband and I are also empty nesters.

I just made a deal with my husband and we shook on it. (This was my idea by the way, he loves me just the way I am). Here is our deal. Our 30th wedding anniversary is next year in April.(15 months) I promised him that I would be in a size 7 by then (50-60lbs) and will have quit smoking. What I get in return is the vacation of my choice (anywhere) and a diamond ring OF MY CHOICE. As you can see I have made a win win wager, but he said his prize is me quitting smoking. This grandmother of 9 is on her way to becoming a fit hot momma! I need ideas and encouragement!

Question, should I put a before picture of myself on my blog even though it is not about weight loss, so my readers can watch my progress?

Go for it letsgetorganized! Won’t do any harm will it? Heheh!

What a deal! Sounds like a win-win to me.

I think the before picture is completely up to you. Personally, I would be mortified! I don’t even like changing in front of a mirror at this point.

Ideas for getting the weight off in addition to this wonderful new eating style…have you ever tried Zumba? It is an absolute blast. Even if you can’t do all the moves at first you can just watch the instructor and pretend you look just like her doing it! 🙂
Be encouraged and have fun,
Doryss

Hahah..good on you Dory…I love that about the Zumba…have wanted to try it, but my back and hips don’t cope too well with those kinds of movements!!! Maybe when I get a lot of weight off I can try it. Agreed about the being mortified about the before picture of letsgetorganized! I wasn’t picturing a whole body picture….lol…but now I think about it? Looking at your Avatar letsgetorganized, it wouldn’t be as mortifying for you…you look great! Of course, after all this talk, we do want to know what you end up doing about the picture…okay! Lol….hava good day girls. Bev.
