the challenge of a life time

I'm in my room, watching the buffy musical (it exists people! Season 6 episode 7....AWESOME!) and I can't help but think....nothing has changed! I spent a year away, I grew so much as an individual, was challenged beyond my comfort zone. Now I am back in sunny CA. Watching netflix for far too long daily, not challenging myself with anything. What happened to the girl who went to the gym at 5:00am even when it was only in the single digits outside? Who was so active, going on hikes alone? Did I leave her 2 states away? I hope not.

So...I am ready for a drastic, dramatic, life altering change. ( I am saying that in the voice a info-mercial person would say it in). Interested in finding out what I will be doing? Well read on my friend.

I bought a scale (holy crap), I plan on weighing myself twice a day, morning and night. Than journal everything. I also joined "myfitnesspal.com" and track everything I eat, what I do for exercise, get the support I need. I am giving myself 6 months. 6 months to change my life forever. It takes 30 days to form a habit, 6 months better make it a normal day to day routine.

What am I up against? Well I have PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrom). I have the weakest metabolism EVER because of it, as well as a lot more issues because of the diagnosis. I learned while in WA that it is not impossible to lose weight but it is a lot more work. I also have picked up bad, lazy habits, and breaking out of any habit is hard.

So join me, support me, encourage me. I will be blogging my process as often as I can. The journey starts Monday. Wish me luck and strength!
