I was going to originally call this post, just plain old “Fat Tuesday.” However, I thought since I didn’t really want to talk about how fat I was every Tuesday, and more about what I am doing to correct the situation, I thought “Busting Fat Tuesday” was more appropriate.
I know, I know, this has nothing to do with knitting. Well, in a way it does. It is through some of my closest knitting friends that I have found the endurance and the motivation to start and continue with the Weight Watchers program. It is through my husband that I stay motivated to continue eating right and riding my bike when I can. And now, I can have accountability through another group of fantastic people here on the web. Fitness-A-Long was started by a good friend I just haven’t actually met in person yet! (We shall remedy this sometime soon!!) Pam is fantastic and if you care to join us in our endeavors please contact her at Katydidknits@gmail.com.
No it is not the norm to post weights and sizes on the Internet, or even speak them out loud. But really I want you all to see the progress I am making in my life. I want someone to see what I am doing and realize that they can do the same thing. For me, it really makes it easier to start aggressively doing something about my weight if I can see some one who is a lot like me making an effort. So if I can inspire just a handful of people to join a program that works for them and get healthy, then I feel my outing my numbers is worth it. I know that miss Becca a friend of mine from my old job, saw me starting WW and joined up as well! I wish her the best and hope that she is doing well.
So for my conclusion, my numbers, which I will post every Tuesday from now on! And please check out a program that suits you, or push the button on my sidebar for the Fitness-A-Long!!
