Welcome to Finding the New You!

Dear friends,
Thank you for joining my journey to find a better me. I am so proud that you wanted to join me. Let me explain how I would like this to go.
Each day I ask that you work out 20 min. Thats all ! Every friday is a weigh in. I will be POSTING my weight. You are welcome to do that as well, but if not then just let us know if you gained or lost. :)
I am starting this blog to host our feelings and our thoughts about this process.
Also to post great recipes, or workout tips. This is a great place for support, and comfort, as each of us is going through tthe same thing.
So Aug 1 2011 is the first day. I will be posting my starting weight, no lies, no excusses.. Just the raw me. I will continue to post every friday for one full year.. after one year on AUG 1 2012 if I have reached my goals I will be heading to Vegas. Where I am hoping with all the hard work you have put in you will be able to join me.
Now I know it seems like a lot of time and money. BUt if you commit to just 20 min a day 5 days a week, and every 2 weeks put 20 dollars aside. THen I know this will be a piece of cake.
MMMMMM CAKE! . So what are you waiting for lets get this show on the road..
Im here for you as I know you will always be there for me.

OH Crappy DAY!

So Last night, I wanted to go out and enjoy dancing, I got ready, showered, dressed, fixed my hair. I felt very pretty, went to the club, got a table, Had a cherry coke, and waited for my friends to arrive.
I enjoyed a few waltzes and a couple of line dances. Untill this guy came up to me and told me just exactly how fat and unattractive I was. Not only did he continue to cut me down but then his buddy thinkng it was funny jummped on the wagon. Nothing I said would make them stop and I deided to leave.
I came home and spent the night crying. But this morning. is different.
How dare they judge me, how dare they make fun of me. Who are they to cast the first stone. I am sure they are not perfect by any standards. It is not my place to judge nor to understand the thoughts and feelings of other.
One told me that I needed to get off my A@@ more and stop eating twinkies.
They judged me before they knew the story. Before they know what I had gone through. THey judge me before they understand the work I put into everything each and every day.
I ask my self why am I doing this challenge? What makes it so special?
I do it for me, the person I know that is inside waiting to come out. I do it for all the over weight women in the world who wish they had the courage to do something about it. I do it for every fat kid that thinks they cant be thin. I do it for myself, not for you, or some guy that makes fun of me.
Remember as you do your own personal challenge that you are a beautiful person. you bring that beauty into a room when you walk in. Its not about your hair or makeup. Its not about how thin you are. Its about loving and being comfortable in your skin. Its about accepting YOU, before others can do the same. Each and everyone of us is beautiful, we all have something special to offer. I want each of us to look inside this next week and show the world just exactly how special we are.
