I'm Too Sexy for my Fat....

Ok, here I go!  Today is officially Day 1 of Week 1 of Month 1.  I laid in bed last night tossing and turning about when I should "start" my diet. 

Here are all of the reasons I thought I should NOT start today:

1. I haven't grocery shopped for healthy foods

2. I don't have a good exercise DVD

3. It is Thursday, which is Vampire Diaries and wine night

4. It is supposed to rain

5. It is almost of the weekend (read: my usual "cheat days")

6. I didn't want to

When I woke up, I looked in the mirror and told myself that I deserved better than all of the excuses I was giving myself.  I have been making excuses for years.  Deciding to live healthier is like many other decisions in life: there is no perfect day or time to start. 

So I got out my camera, took some awful pictures, weighed and measured myself, and decided to eat a healthy breakfast. 

I will call this my first victory.

Here are my stats:
Starting Weight (Jan. 01): 262.5

Current Weight: 258.6  (should've been a NFL lineman huh?)

Chest: 47 in. (and no, I'm not nursing)

Waist: 43.5 in.  (aka non-existent)

Belly Button: 53 in.

Hips: 57.5 in.  (oh, Lord)

Arms: 15.5 in. (that is each one in case you were wondering ;)

Thighs: 30 in. (still rubbing)

Pant Size:  not really sure since I only wear pants with elastic in them... but my guess would be 22/24.

Whew!  That is a whole LOT of Jenny.
