I Did It!

I placed another order for TLS shakes, complete greens and fiber!  I know that I am on the way to getting healthy!  I am still not sure when I am going to begin.  I think it would be good to start detox before I go back to school, but I am not sure I am going to be ready!

Within the next few days, I will be doing the following:

1.  Cleaning out and organizing my pantry and refrigerator.
2.  Making a grocery list of detox fruits and veggies, then buying those fruits and veggies!
3.  Prepping baggies of veggies to make eating them quick and easy!
4.  Starting lists of snacks, lunches and dinners I can make when detox is over.
5.  Use Sundays to prep meals for the week.

One of the biggest things I need to do is really thinking about why I want/need to do this.  I will be blogging a lot about the why, because without knowing why I am going this, I will not be as dedicated to this lifestyle!

Now, I am off to go get some work done!

Let's Make A Deal

How many times have you told yourself that you will just eat what you want today, then promise to be right back on track tomorrow?

How many times have you wished you could just lose weight?

How many times have you tried to make a deal, saying if this happens, I will do this?

I for one have done this more times than I can count.

Lately, I have been struggling.  Struggling with what is the best plan for me.  I have been going through a lot of plans to see which one I want to do.

 I love that TLS is eating real food.  Good, healthy food.  The plan makes sense to me.  However, it takes a lot of prep work.  If I am not prepared, I slip up.  I eat things I shouldn't. 

Medifast is awesome!  I lost a ton of weight (which I gained right back).  However, you had to eat their food.  It was easy.  Not a lot of planning.  I just grabbed some packets, and I was off.  But, it is expensive.  About $300 per month!

Weight Watchers is also a great plan.  They know that there are going to be times that you slip up, and it can be planned for.  There are no foods that are off plan.  But, I know that if I can eat something, I will, and I will not stop at the amount I allotted for.  You also have to count every bite, lick and chew that you have.  There is a lot of prep work, and paper work as well.

So, back to the deal.  As I was going back and forth with all of these plans, I made myself a deal.  TLS was having a giveaway.  If you shared a certain picture on Instagram, you could win something.  I told myself, that if I won the giveaway, I would go TLS with my whole heart.  Guess who won?  That would be me!  I was hoping I would win a can of shakes or something, but instead, I won a t-shirt. 

I tried it on....not very pretty...think sausage casing!  But then I thought, wearing that t-shirt could be my before picture.  I could take a picture of me wearing it before the 12 weeks, then again after the 12 weeks.  I will sure see any kind of changes by wearing that shirt!!

So, TLS it is.  I am going to blog about my experience the entire time.  The Resolution Revolution officially begins January 6th.  I am not sure if I am going to start a few days before or not.  I am taking the next few days to prep and get things ready.

I made a deal.  Now I need to stick to it.  This is going to be the last year that losing weight will be one of my resolutions!  I am going to eat healthy, and take care of myself.  I.  Am.  Worth.  It.
