Alright it is day one of week one, UGH! You know there is a problem when days before you truly start to take care of your body you are dreading it like one dreads a doctors visit. So here is my first picture, now please understand I had just finished working out and it's been almost two weeks since my last work out so it was tough!

And of course I have my little tag-a-long, who will occasionally work out with me. So I had a friend suggest I post a picture of me in a bikini, because it would be more motivating. I am afraid it would be scarring to all who look in on this blog. So for now we will go with my workout clothes.

Some of the tools I will use to help me in this journey are:

 Of course my beloved P90X! I love these workouts!

 So I know the song goes, "Fat bottom girls make the rockin' world go round" but I am done helping out the rockin' world it's time to get this bottom to be, "Buns of Steel" or just lifted!!

This may seem weird that I am using a green bracelet as a tool. This is no ordinary bracelet, this is a goal bracelet. When we were at girls camp we had these put on and we set a goal. When we reach our goal the bracelet comes off. Well There are many, many spiritual goals I could have set but my goal is to get into these pants (Pictured below)

Well I wanted to be in them by the time I went on my trip to Canada, it didn't happen! I am not going to put a time line as to when I want to be in them. I am afraid time lines just don't work for me. I feel too pressured and sadly pressure leads to eating. So I am just going to keep plugging along with my sweet green bracelet on, and whenever I look at it I will have a reminder of what my goal is. Oh and I was feeling a little guilty that I didn't set a spiritual goal, but I really believe if I am healthier and in more control it will bring me closer to our Heavenly Father.

I will also be using myfitnesspal.com to help with tracking my food intake and calories. I love this site, it is free and I am a firm believer if you want to loose weight  tracking food and portions sizes is key! Well Mondays are always the easiest so today hasn't been so bad.
