New Year= New Me?

I guess it is that time of year again. The time of year where we all make silly resolutions that we never keep and we join gyms, and buy whole wheat products because they are healthier..... That means its also the time of year where we realize that its too $%^&* cold to go to the gym, let alone walk the dog or step outside for a cigarette, so we quit doing that. We also quit eating healthy because while it may be good for us, its not sticking to the bones and our cold rumbly tummies that have to go out and dig out the cars from 2 feet of snow are not properly satiated. So we let eating right slip too.

What do I have to say to this??

I am just as guilty as the rest of you. Except I have a wii fit and 2 dogs that will destroy the house unless I go freeze my butt off to walk them through the neighborhood until they are sufficiently chilled and dragging me back into the house.

I guess the trick to keeping those weight loss/ eat healthy resolutions is to find a strong motivation for getting trim again. My motivation is my tattoos. I cant show them off without looking a lot like trailer trash if I weigh as much as 2 moosey dogs. And I like to occasionally look around facebook and find people I used to know and see where they are in their lives. The other day, I got the self esteem boost I needed when I saw this girl who used to be half my size, now looks like she could eat me alive, and go back for seconds and thirds and still be not quite full. And those are her wedding pictures.

I dont want to look like that. Not for my wedding, anyway. I would like to look more like the model wearing the dress I fell in love with rather than the cake. So, for me, its off to the gym, and walking the dogs around the neighborhood, and busting out that wii fit and dusting it off and actually using it.
