The Journey Begins

Today I begin a new journey, because I have a dream. While no life can ever be perfect, you can still be happy in life. My journey begins with weight loss (as many do). It all started because of a picture taken 6/4/2013. It was my breaking point. I saw that picture posted on Facebook for all eyes to see and I though oh my gosh... Look at yourself! Weighing in at.... Dare I say it?... 204 hearty pounds on a 5'6" female, it's just not pretty. I'm a single mother of a 6-year old an I've struggled with weight since she was born. I've tried diet pills, I've paid big bucks for things like Xyngular, but nothing has ever kept me on track or worked really well for me. I've tried running and the truth is running bores me. Making excuses stops now! I will not be that "big" girl who is embarrassed by clothing and pictures. I WILL look good! And I will not look back! Here is to putting my feet on the floor and moving forward. My game plan is to do 45 minutes of Zumba at least 5 days a week. I'm also going to get my butt out of bed before work and do Jillian Michaels 30-day shred. I hereby give my word to do these things consistently in an effort to make my personal goal to reach a weight in the 150s. I will also be using My Fitness Pal and monitoring my calories/portions as well as trying to make healthier food choices. I refuse to be this person anymore who is miserable in my shell. All I ask is for your support and encouragement as I move forward in this journey!! Here I go!
P.S. the picture above is the one that broke me.
