What can you do when you put yourself first and quit making excuses?

Happy New Year's to all of my friends and family!!!

 

What are you capable of in 2012 when you put yourself first and quit making excuses? This is a new year, another chance for you to change your life.

My husband and I made 2012 goals instead of resolutions. I've learned to make very specific goals for the year. Ryan and I set a goal to run a half marathon. That is #1 on our list. We also had drink more water and work out 3-4 times a week. 

I've learned over the last couple months, to stop making excuses for myself. " I'm going to start tomorrow and just eat this last bag of chips, or one more can of pop" I don't do tomorrow's any more. Start right away. Yes you will have slip ups but get right back up and finish what you started!! 

On December 18th, I started using Body By Vi shakes. I wanted something to give me that boost while i'm training so much for my half marathon. This isn't a " diet". That word is not in my vocabulary anymore. It's a lifestyle change. I took my measurements and weight and got to work. I have to say the shake mix tastes like cake mix!! Its so good and there are over 100 recipes so you never have the same shake! The are extremely filling and taste awesome! I have 2 shakes a day with a 1200 calorie diet, including the calories from the shakes. My favorite shakes are chocolate peanut butter and vanilla iced coffee!! If you'd like to give it a try check out my site! I'm not selling it but you do get benefits for referring customers! If 3 of my friends sign up for shakes through my site I get mine free!!

Today was day 15 on the shakes combined with exercising 3-4 times a week i'm down 6.6 lbs and 11 inches!! I was so shocked because this was over the holiday! I actually lost weight over the holidays! First time for everything!!

I have 105 days until our half marathon in St Louis on April 15th. My goal is to be down 30 lbs and to complete my half marathon as an asthmatic!! What a goal! It can be done with hard work, dedication, and No excuses!!

Who is with me? Put yourself first, and quit making excuses for reasons to start tomorrow, or next month.  You are worth it. Stand up and finish what you started!!
