Just ordered a month gym membership.
I WILL be someone that in the end, people look to for motivation with weight loss. Because I am starting my weight loss journey for the last time and I am going to kick its ass. :) Heading out to the store to buy some stuff to set up a cute little motivator. Pictures to come! What? I am ACTUALLY going to post pics on my blog..I know right?! I will also be taking a before picture. I am going to find an outfit. And I am going to take it. Then I will keep the clothes and take an after photo with them. I am doing this ultimately for MYSELF, but I think I may even put in on pinterest with a link to my blog in the end. You never know who will see it and maybe start their final kick to their weight loss and healthy life journey!

Inspiration
So I had a friend on Facebook post a free 7 day clean eating challenge. I met her at OSU, we had a couple classes together there. I signed up for the challenge and it was fun. The online community was great, even though I didn't know any of the people, it was fun!I am not sure how much weight I lost on it, but I weighed in one day, and 17 days later (this would be half way into the challenge) my scale told me I had lost 5 lbs.!!
It was such a nice surprise! And I have been getting pretty excited about eating healthier and trying to start working out, that I am thinking that this may be my time to finally get where I want to be physically!
I should add in that I have been diagnosed with TMJ. So another good motivator is the fact that for my jaw's proper healing, I should be eating soft foods and liquids for the next month...maybe longer. I found a good daily vitamin and protein powder. The protein powder and my blender cup are on their way in the mail. I cannot wait for a nice easy breakfast to go. And it will be perfect for post workout!!
So, I would commit to trying to blog every day, but I think I will just start with eating healthy and eventually getting to the gym. Baby steps. I think one of my problems in the past is I try to jump in too far, too fast...and it leads to me back to junk food and not working out.
I am going to focus a LOT on stretching before and after workouts this time around too. With grooming and needing to be able to pick up 120 lb dogs some days and hold dogs down, I will need to not be in terrible pain. Hahahaha, so wish me luck with that!! Oooohhhh, I bet warm bath soaks after working out will help too! And get rid of the gym staaank. Hahahaha :P
Tomorrow is my first day at physical therapy for my TMJ, so we will see how that goes too!
