How to start

Ok, I LOVE food. I mean really, intensely overwhelmingly LOVE food. Their is nothing about a dessert that will not make my night. I love having my cravings, little whims if you will, that lead to a wonderful, delightful ending. However, life has, and is changing. It has dawned on me, I am no longer 22 and feeling invincible. My metabolism does not agree with my love of food...desserts being at the top of that list. I get it. I need to make a change. But how to get my stomach on board. I am 32 years old, and a dessert-a-holic. Ok enough, I think you get my point of my love and absolute desire to really dive into both worlds. I know that I will never be successful without sweets in my life. So here I am at a crossroads, how to combine both worlds. I really have put a ton of thought into this folks. I need to be healthy. I need to not bend over to put on my shoes and not run out of breath in the process. I am giving myself a bit of breathing room,(haha get it) given that my sweet angel is only 6 weeks old. But being 32 and having just brought into the world a sweet angel does not help my ability to tie my shoes. Three kids in 4 almost 5 years has taken its toll on my body. I have been a constant at the gym, and for that I am thankful. I love being able to get off the floor without too much problem. However, exercising has never been a problem. I love the gym. Perhaps not whilst getting started, but I love feeling completely bushed after a long intense workout. So here is my plan. Step one...put down the cookie!!!! Step two, believe that I can do this!!! Step three...set a goal!!! And Step four...give myself time to achieve my goals. I think that should cover it. I have been on almost every diet, every exercise regime, and every gimic you can think of to loose weight. I dream about being a 130-140 pounds of a sexy lovely lady again. I can see her inside of me. Now to keep the goal, and achieve. It is Christmas 2013. My goal is Christmas 2014, be at or near my goal weight. We are done getting pregnant, so now is the perfect time. I already have my gym membership, and have been actively going up until 6 weeks ago...Bless you JACE!! It is time to start cooking healthy, eating healthier, and stick to it. What does this mean. No more Soda POP, desserts after dinner (every dinner), anything after 8, and eliminating bad carbs and processed sugars. It is allot to take on. But I can do it. I know I really don't have this plan formulated completely, but I will. This is a start. This is me giving myself permission to be that women I see inside. This is me believing that I deserve to be one of the hundreds of women who don't have to run out of breath getting a cute pair of wedges on. I can be that women. I can get out of the 200 pound range and into a size 6 pair of jeans. I know I deserve it. I can and I will!
