Weight Loss and Bucket Lists

Recently, I posted about how my weight is holding me back from enjoying life (you can read that by clicking HERE). It's true, I do feel that way. 

I need to do something about it.

Now, I know this might sound like an excuse, but it's November and we have Thanksgiving and Christmas and whatnot. Now is the WORST time to start a diet! So I'm not going to.

I AM, however, using these last couple of months going through "withdrawls" of my addictions that I'm going to break.

My two biggest addictions?

Soda and salt.

I know that SOME salt is okay, but I use A LOT of salt. 

A LOT.

So I'm going to try to start cutting back on it. 

Soda.....oh how I love soda. I don't know why...maybe it's the taste or the way it just hits the spot, IDK, but I love me some soda.

Sadly, I have to break up with it. 

:(

So, November and December are going to be the months where I break up with salt and soda, mourn the end of our relationship, and recover. On January 7 (the first Monday in January), I plan to start my life anew, with eating better and working out more. It's time and it needs to be done.

Dina, over at A Plucky Procrastinator suggested I do a bucket list of sorts....something to keep me motivated to lose weight. On said bucket list, it will be doing all the things I feel like my weight is keeping me from doing. Such awesome advice. I've thought it over and given it serious consideration and I think I'm ready to start my bucket list. I'm sure I'll add more as I go along, but here are the things I know that I REALLY want to do.

1. Do a photo shoot
2. Go skating
3. Do karaoke with friends
4. Do a 5K marathon
5. Take a ball room dancing class
6. Get a couple of tattoos in places I can't get them
7. Do a boudoir photo shoot for my husband.
8. Do more Youtube videos for The Mommy Chronicles
9. Go swimming a lot more
10. Look FABULOUS for my 80's themed vow renewal in September.

I'm going to start working on a new section of this blog, all about weight loss, because I want to bring you all on this journey with me.
So...sorry soda and salt...it's time for you to go!
