I posted this quote as the title because it gives me hope that all of my ideas and dreams can become a reality if I am just devoted and dedicated. Dedication is not an easy thing. For example, I promised myself I would get into amazing shape while my husband was deployed for 6 months. He has two months left in his deployment and I lost 8 lbs...but have gained them all back!!!! I am an italian girl who loves her carbs and it is just not working out for me so well...because I have not be dedicated to working out regularly and cutting out some foods from my diet that I really should not be eating.
Therefore, my new idea is to keep a log of my diet and exercise publicly! Clearly, it isn't working when only I am accountable and seeing what I am and am not eating. So, I think I will try to make this blog for the next couple months about how a 23 year old college student can eat and exercise on a budget and time constraint. I will try to eat foods that are healthy but are not organic or crazy expensive. I will try to do different exercises to see which ones I like the best and what works. And I will post my weight loss each week (or gain, but I hope that doesn't happen!) I will do this for about 2 months until Josh gets home so I can hopefully look amazing for my husband :)
I want this to be something that other women can look at and see that it is possible to lose weight; even though it does seem impossible. I will not give up every single food that I love, because I do not believe the weight loss will be permanent then. I know that I will inevitably go back to eating my carbs and chocolates! So this will be about portion control and being consistent with working out.
I do not know if this will work, but I need to try something different to try and stay dedicated to something I am not good at! So, there will be more to come on this starting tomorrow!! I will start some kind of log about what I am eating, as well as what exercise I am getting!
Wish me luck!!!
