Flash Dance... What a Feeling

So after months and months of procrastination of potentially the strongest type.. I'm back.

I've started a 12 week change. It's a change in diet, in lifestyle and in how I exercise.
The thing is, I needed help. It wasn't, isn't a change I was going to be able to do myself. I've studied all my life, but this was never something I got an A in - so how did I think it was something that I could power through by myself.

So I've started the Michelle Bridges 12 Week Body Transformation.
(From here on will be called: 12wbt)
I've had 24 years to build a life time of bad habits. And it's not easy to break them.
But I'm trying. I'm trying to eat right, and keep my calories low - really not easy when I'm used to huge portion sizes... And keeping meals to 300 calories is tough... But I'm trying.

I managed to take the easy way in life when it came to exercise. Somehow I was able to keep the weight on, even when doing hours of exercise per week.
Then I stopped, and starting again... Oh starting again.
It's not easy, but I'm trying.

Bad habits die hard... But I would like them to just die.

I want to be able to wear clothes that I can buy in any store.
I don't want to have to think I could be a plus sized model.
That I'm told I'm beautiful, not that I have a beautiful smile.

This isn't going to be easy, but I'm trying.

I'm building a support team behind me, people who will believe in me, who are cheering for me - my own personal cheer squad if you will.
There are forums if I want to go on them... But it's not my thing, not yet.
When I'm ready, I guess they had better watch out.


This is not going to be easy, but I'm going to try.
