The Non Vday, Non Blogger...What Am I doing...

Okay...so yes, this is several years ago. Notice how it's very zoomed on the facial area. Maybe I will get brave enough to post before and afters...but not today :D

So here's me...starting a blog...to keep myself accountable. I'm sure that I'm the only one out there who will likely care about the rambling going on with this girl. I really can't believe I'm even putting my fingers to work, I'm normally the avid reader, most def NOT the writer. And no, this is not about Valentines Day...sorry to disappoint, but I do love my adoring, supportive hubby oh so very much. 
BUT, as previously stated it's in the works to keep myself on track with...da-da-da-dum my WEIGHT LOSS goal (or as I so often refer to it as my lifestyle change).
At the first of the year, I committed to lose, be healthy. That's it, not necessarily a certain number, or look. Although, I'm aware from previously doing WW, that the avg weight for me is between 135-150 for my height. Also, as I told my  trainer  this week, a BIKINI would be nice. However, I won't go rushing into anything, and I'm not entirely sure I'll have the guts to wear one in public considering the last time I did I think I was probably five. But I would love to know I could :D
Here's motivation:
Started at: 227 lbs, size 18
Current weight: 201 lbs
Goal: healthy, bikini, possibly in the 135-145  lbs range
Weight Lost to Date:26 lbs, in b/t size 14/16
Favorite Thing I ate today: can't choose between guac and shrimp
I should also mention...
I'm one week into a ten week fitness competition with the goal of course being weight loss. I started this after my health journey began, but thought 'why not use some extra motivation'. I'm on a team of four encouraging ladies, the goal is for everyone to lose 40 lbs. Winning team gets a whopping $1000. What better motivation is there?!?!
Happy Vday...and no chocolate hearts this way,
B
