April Fool's Day but this is no joke!

I was recently was watching an episode of Ruby. Her therapist told her to choose 5 things that she wanted to change about her life to help her with reaching her weight loss goal. It's time to let go of that baggage. What better way for me to get motivation than to do this and tell you all my five things. They are already a struggle but it is a new month and time to put all of the complaining aside and just do it!
1. No soda unless having a caffeine withdrawal and then I may have 12oz.
2. Work out daily for at least 10 minutes.
3. Clean for at least 30 minutes each day.
4. Plan meals encouraging me to eat better.
5. Look in the mirror often.

The last one is straight from her show. An addiction specialist told her group that we don't see our true selves. I believe this 100% I never noticed how big I had gotten until I saw my daughter's preschool graduation pictures. Ruby hung mirrors at all levels through out the house and especially by the dining room table. I think I will get a full length mirror and find an open home for it. Ruby lost 10 pounds in one week from the changes that she was making. i just hope to start loosing weight!

  2. Hi Heidi!
    I agree with you, the last one is a good one. I often give a cursory glance at myself to ONLY find something wrong with my appearance. From now on I am going to really take a look at myself and see if I can find good stuff.
    THanks for sharing!
