Inspired by a rider on the coupon train, I have decided to start my own wish thread, however, I am calling mine a wish box instead of thread. For my 16th birthday I recieved a necklace from my aunt called a wish box. The story of it was to hold it to your heart, say your wish, and it would go into your wish box, and help you make it come true. Well as cliche as it sounds, I still have that necklace at 24 almost 25, and I have it hanging on a nail in my office. Whenever I see it it makes me strive for my dreams, and give me reassurance that I can achieve them. My reason for wanting to start a wish box on the dis is simply because I need accountability. I have been doing a health journal, but I have no one to hold me accountable. To be honest, I catch myself lying to myself about what I've eaten or how much I've worked out. My hopes with my wish box, is I will be held accountable, and maybe we can encourage each other along the way.
My story:
I was always bigger growning up. I always wore plus sizes or size e for anyone who shopped at sears. In high school I became very involved in exercising and playing tennis and soccer. I ran daily and loved the way it made me feel. I always had plenty of energy. After I graduated high school, I was a size 9 or 11 in juniors. I was exstatict!!! I started working at curves and got to wear I could wear an 8 in some clothes what was definetly a solid 9 across the board. I could not have been happier. This is when I met my now husband. We met at the rescue squad, and I started becoming more involved there and less involved and attentive to myself. Long story short, I have gained about 70lbs and 4 to 5 dress sizes since DH and I first met, and would love to be the size I was again. DH has given me the goal that if I get back to where I want to be, I can run the princess 1/2 at disney. I have always wanted to run a marathon, and I figure what better place right? He has also promise me a prize when I reach my goal, a Tiffany's necklace and bracelet. I have wanted a Tiffany's necklace for so so so long, and he has made it even sweeter and added a bracelet to the mix. So I know you thinking... what are you waiting for right?? Well, I have dieted lost 10 or 12 lbs, then rewarded myself for doing so well with a splurge, or either gotten into the mind set, well I've eatten so well today one little thing won't hurt, but then in turns into an everyday thing.
My goal:
I wish to exercise minimum of one hour 3 times a week to start with. I have gotten 2 of the biggest loser DVDs, a tae-bo dvd, and I have a fluidity bar, and pilates dvds. I am going to stop dieting, but rather being more conscious of what I eat. Have a colorful plate, and start eating fruits and veggies as snacks instead of chips and junk.
On an ending note, I graduate from college in 11 months, and my brother comes home from afghanastain in 9 months. I would love nothing more than to be back to the sister I used to be when he gets back , and to be the girls my DH fell in love with when I graduate in december and hopefully start my new job.
I look forward to anyone joining in, and joggin the path with me
