The Queen of excuses and restarts

Day 1...................again!

Nearly a month, and I'm sure I can think of a heap of excuses as to why I haven't accomplished anything and why I'm still stuck in the same rut.

I've been reading this blog for awhile of a local woman who has lost an amazing amount of weight, and I kept thinking how lucky she is. But luck really has nothing to do with it! she has exercised every day, rain , hail or shine. No excuses! She has watched what she eats, everyday. No excuses! She is just a normal everyday person. Not some super rich person with access to personal trainers and expensive equipment. And she has done it. She is living my life! The life I want to have.

I don't want to be this weight in 5 years time. Hell, I don't want to still be this weight in a years time! You can only blame it on baby weight for so long. So why is it I have such a sticking block when it comes to getting started and focussed?

I managed to set myself a goal of doing the Duathlon back in February. I wasn't fit, but I accomplished my goal of competing and finishing it and not coming last. You would think I would've used that as a stepping stone to bigger and better things in regards to my diet and exercise. Um, no.

I need to get organised. I need to make time for me. I need to stop being lazy! Even a 10 minute trip around the block is better than what I'm doing now, which is nothing.

My biggest sticking blocks to exercising are making time for it, and not wanting people to see me doing it and laughing at me. I'm afraid of making a fool of myself. I don't want to be judged.

So instead, I sit here doing nothing and feeling like life is passing me by.

I'm tired of being the fat person.

The only person who can change this is me!
