And the countdown begins. One week from today I will be in Tucson, Arizona for the start of my new adventure. Scared and nervous. Feel a little sick to my stomach. Am I up to the challenge? What if I fail?
For those of you who see me every day, you know why I have to go. For those of you who dont, let me enlighten you. Over the last 40 years, I have continued to gain weight, continued to hide behind it and continued to use it as an excuse. No more.
I was given an incredible gift. The ability to take time off work and pursue fitness as a full-time endeavor. So, for two months, starting in...one week...my full time focus will be diet and excercise in the hopes of breaking the cycle of habbits and choices that have been my way of life. In the gym with a trainer every day, swimming, aerobics, hiking, biking, walking. The goal - burn calories in every possible way.
This is a week to put on the game face. To get my head in the game. All while trying to get my family ready for mom to be gone for two months.
The official weigh in will be on June 7. You can track my adventure on The Pink Joy. Because pink is not just a color, its an attitude!
