i signed up for a weight loss/tone up/eat better challenge today. this was after stepping on the scale this morning and realizing that i'm again at my all-time high. (this weekend, i donated a size 2 skirt. i wore this skirt only 2 years ago! i realize i am nowhere near obese, but size 2!!? it looked like it was made for a doll. amazing. i hate getting old!)
also, one of my best friends invited me to join her in the 2008 self challenge. it's not completely intuitive, but so far what i know is that i want to look like the women on the site in a bathing suit again. i entered in what i ate for breakfast this morning. not so bad so far. it's likely that just having to enter this all in through the annoying website will make me eat less.
but it's making me think of all of the "easier" ways i could lose weight. i know that i would never do any of these things, but it truly has gotten ridiculous out there. take alli for example. just read the reviews on this product! while really, really funny, they also indicate that it's possible that we have all gotten so lazy and impatient that we are willing to risk needing a new pair of pants like we used to when we were 2 years old. zoinks!
i guess it just comes down to getting myself to the gym. i don't know what it is. i used to work out. i even sort of liked it. now, the thought fills me with dread. and it's not because i don't want to be seen there or i think i'm hideous or something. i just don't want to go. it's a pain. i'm tired. i'm hungry.
i also know that i'm in such a better situation than so many people, because i have the choice. i'm healthy, and i could take control and make a change. it's perhaps also partially this fact that keeps me from doing so. maybe i need to start watching oprah or something. but i'm tired. and hungry.
at least i didn't wait until the next february 29 to blog again.
