No Dvd's today. I've not officially embarked yet...but I guess it's kind of begun with this space to think about it and build up to it. It's probably pretty lame that I think I can't officially begin until there's some random workout dvd's to arrive but that's usually how I roll. There's usually certain items to buy or an official date needed before I begin this day one. Most health experts would say, just start already! There isn't anything magical about the dvd's there isn't any eating program that I haven't tried, read, or quit. From Atkins to weight watchers to flat belly to cabbage soup...I've tried them all. Weight watchers was the most successful for me but I just don't feel like paying someone to weigh me in although the accountability was probably the best part for me. You may wonder at my mild obsession with this and don't worry, I've explored it in therapy :). I attribute it to very overweight parents and vanity. My dad died at 55 of a heart attack and this was primarily caused by lifestyle factors. I'd like to be around longer and I like clothes that fit skinnier people. I do like sports and want to be able to compete at my best self...but if we're really being honest, it's mostly vanity.
Yet still...I like there to be a marker. I like a day one although I'm already struggling with that day one. If the dvd's arrive today...do I do them today because if I start them today then I'd have to do one tomorrow and I'm going to Dreamgirls and have kid duty so I'd have to get up at 5 a.m. to get it done. I've NEVER done that! I have to accept that this will be my lot in the next 60 days because we lead busy lives and it's hard to fit it all in during the day between baseball/softball practices, homework, grading, and leading a social life. The acceptance is a little challenging for me at this stage of the game. I'm the queen of day one but I'm also the mayor of put it off for one more day.
I guess I'll have choices to make if the dvd arrives...is today day one or is it Sunday after the fun weekend we have planned?

ReplyDeleteSally, day one started 2 days ago when you started this blog. Everything is connected and essential to keeping you on the current plan...getting your support system in place (followers, family, whatever), accountability (I would consider this blog, you tracking accountability), eating better, and the DVD's. The DVD's are just one part of this journey. So, let me welcome you to day 3.
