No More Putting It Off


I'm joining Weight Watchers this afternoon. I have a dear friend who is super supportive and emails regularly from across the nation. A partner that ROCKS and loves me as I am or any other way. And a powerlifting trainer that's going to be there kicking my ass. He's big and he's expecting lots out of me. 'Bout time I gave it to him.

I finally feel like I'm ready.

More reasons to lose weight:

• To show the fatties in my life that I'm not kidding this time. I'm doing it. You can be fat. I don't want to anymore.

• To have some of that wild on top porn star sex!!!!

• I want to not worry about eating. I want to reach a level of comfort and WW will help with that. (ahem, not my first time around the old WW block)

• So I can snow ski with my girl in Banff, Canada when she whisks me away there. (Major hint dropage there! Sweetie, let me know if you need the phone number of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. Oh hell, here: http://www.fairmont.com/banffsprings/)

• So my muscles that I've worked so hard on for the past year can show. I can lift some big girl plates at the gym...that's a 45 lb. plate on each side plus a couple of small ones!

• So that I can be proud of my character.

• To lessen the stress on my joints and the rest of the body

• So that I can buy some cute clothes

• So that I can wear my hair long and look sexy before I'm that strange woman on the park bench that's 80 years young with long, grey hair.

There. That about does it.

I'm ready and rockin' on go!

Yay! Good for you! I did the whole WW online thing for a while and I liked it a lot. With four kids, I didn't have time to go to a meeting, plus I just really needed something that held me accountable to myself.

Lost 45 pounds doing that.

Guess I should get back on it again.

Sigh.

Rock on! You can do it! I lost 25 lbs this year! If a fat drunk like me can because sober, skinny and smoke free then you can surely lose a few lbs. :-)

Thanks Keyser! Sounds like you've put in a ton of work on yourself. And now it's my time!

KK:
45 pounds??? Wow girl! That's awesome!

I have no idea how you get anything done with four kids. Having one child around on Friday afternoon totally brought my world to a stand still! LOL

I prefer to think of my fluffiness as a protective casing for my muscles. But I did join WW, too. Here we all go together!

Michelle:
My muscles are WAY too protected, then!

Here we go!!!!!

Well, if it weren't for my wonderful girlfriend, Michelle, I don't think I'd be able to do nearly as much.
