Anticipation and Preparation

My name is Tina and I am a 46 year old single female who lives in Columbus, Ohio.  I have struggled with my weight alot throughout my lifetime.  Mostly I have struggled in the past 10 years.   I have one child, a 14 year old son, and I gained about 40 pounds when I was pregnant with him at the age of 32.  Being a single mother has been very difficult.  I found that even though I lost all of my baby weight within one year after giving birth, I had a difficult time keeping the weight off.  In fact, I became an emotional eater.  I turned to food for comfort.  Before I knew it I weighed way more than I wanted to and my self image and self esteem took a nose dive.

Last week I saw the infomercial for T25.  I had tried Insanity in the past and loved it but couldn't always find the time to fit the workouts into my crazy schedule.  This 25 minute workout with Shaun T. looks like a dream come true.  I am so ready to get my life back that I ordered it right then and there!  I got the package in the mail on Saturday.  I read all of the literature that came with the package and now I am pumped to get started and nail the workouts!!

Today is Sunday, February 16th, 2014.  I went grocery shopping this morning and bought all of the items in the "Keep It Real Foods" that I liked so I could prepare meals and snacks for the week.  I don't really care for many of the recipes in the T25 Get It Done Nutrition guide, but I plan on just changing some things around a bit so that I am still eating the nutrituous foods that are suggested but with only the ingredients that Ilike so I will be more likely to stick to the nutrition plan.  I am so pumped to get started with the workouts in the morning that I am not sure if I will be able to sleep or not. 

I have posted a before pic even though it is quite risky since that is putting a lot of pressure on myself to succeed!  I am taking a deep breath and can't wait to dive right in head first in the morning!!!! 

If I can do it, anyone can do it!  Won't you join me?
