The Countdown Begins!

After posting my last entry yesterday, I ran out to purchase some fruit and juices from MOMS Organic Foods and a scale.  I also stopped by Gold's Gym to get a membership quote for 3 months, since I will be moving back home in early Spring. 

Upon my return to my temporary abode, I hopped on the scale and almost screamed when I saw my weight:  183 pounds!  According to the chart that came with the scale, my weight on a 5'4" (and 3/4) frame is considered "obese".  Say what?????

With iPhone in hand, I went to the bathroom to take pictures of myself to post.  Warning:  the pics are raw and they definitely ain't cute!  See for yourself:

So you see why I am motivated!  Beyond the esthetics (or lack thereof), this weight is not good for my body. My internal organs are probably not where they should be, which can lead to all kinds of health issues. And extra weight makes the heart have to pump much harder to get the blood to circulate.  Not a good thing.  Not to mention, I feel sluggish.

So what's a girl to do?  Make a plan and take action! My next post will outline my plan

Since I don't see the fun in going at it along, if you are battling weight issues, I invite you to join me on my 90 Day Weight Loss Challenge!  Share with me your plan and the actions you are taking.  You can join me on my specific plan or you can do something different.  Either way, let's work together and get the job done!
