Biggest Loser inspires me. Oh, that show. I just love it so much. It is precious and probably the most inspiring television show I've ever watched. I didn't start out watching this season, but now I'm completely hooked and I want everybody to win because what they've done is incredible.
Eggnog does not. Oh. my. goodness. I love eggnog. I could chug an entire gallon if given the opportunity. I would probably throw up, but even then, I think it'd be worth it. It definitely does not inspire me to lose weight because it tastes so good and it does a really good job of making me forget what a diet is at all.
Weight Watchers inspires me. I love it. I love tracking my points and tracking my exercise, even tracking how much water I drink. I love to know that I have point left at the end of the day, even thought I'm not hungry. It really really makes me more conscious of every single bite of food I stuff in my mouth. It worked last time for a while, here's hoping it works again.
Holidays do not. Thanksgiving and Christmas are not so good for my little diet. Too many good foods, too much food in general, and wayyy too many parties. I have a Christmas party this weekend at church, a party next weekend at my house, and the weekend after that is Christmas and we spend Christmas Eve at my Aunt and Uncles house stuffing our faces with barbeque. See how this can present a problem? I definitely should've waited until January.
Zumba inspires me. Zumba is so much fun. I've done it several times in a class, and I'm super pumped because I'm getting the 8 DVD set for Christmas. Another reason January is a better time to start but oh well. I really love it though and I'm so excited to open it and dance around with my sister and cousins. We will have fun-time Zumba parties and all will be right in the world.
Packing lunches does not. As a teacher, I don't really get a "lunch break." I get 30 minutes in a teachers lounge before having to pick my students back up. No time to leave, so I have to bring my lunch. Well between Lean Cuisines and Turkey sandwiches, I start to hate my life pretty quickly. I have string cheese, yogurt, diet coke, and a turkey sandwich or lean cuisine five days a week and I get so sick of it.
Exercise inspires me. I was doing so good last week about jogging around the block every single day when I got home from school. I would drag our dogs with me and we would jog (-slash-walk) a mile and a half around the neighborhood.
Backaches do not. Saturday morning I woke up with pain in my lower back but I didn't think a whole lot about it. Well I went over to Nathan and Brandi's house to help them pack and by that night I was miserable. Sunday morning, I stayed home from church because I literally couldn't do anything but lay down. That's definitely not very inspiring and since it was hurting until today, I absolutely haven't exercised at all this week. Shame on me.
Pinterest inspires me. All of those before and after pictures, work-out routines, and healthy recipes make me believe I can do it
Pinterest does not. Yes, Pinterest is both naughty and nice. But for real though, Nutella everything, any kind of yummy casserole you can think of, colorful cakes, world's best cookies. I just want to eat! Never look at Pinterest when you're hungry because it will absolutely make you think you are a first-class chef and you will end up in all kinds of a mess in your kitchen. I love Pinterest. It both inspires me to get skinny, and convinces me it's worth it to be fat.
So, there you have it. Until January, I'm gonna do the best I can but not worry a whole lot about it. January, though, I'm gonna kick butt. So if you will, ask me how I'm doing and push me to do well. You guys are my friends, be an inspiration to me. I definitely need it :)
