So the contest starts tomorrow officially. I sufficiently ate enough for a family of four today so tomorrow I should feel good and hungry,;)
The weight thing is freaking me out. This is a perfect time to begin. I picked up the awful habit of smoking after my divorce and didn't completely quit until the day before my birthday on the 14th. So since quitting only a bit over two weeks ago I have gained over 12 lbs. That has been really hard for me but it's not worth the killing my body with nicotine so I can spike my metabolism a few points.
I am heading to bed with a firm commitment to do what it takes. It's my time.

Pre-test;)

This is it. My blog about my countdown from 34 to 35(or is that count up?)
I am excited to start the Biggest Loser Challenge but I'm horrified about letting someone else but me know what I weigh. That will probably be the hardest part.
I was always thin as a child and teen but for me I wasn't thin enough. I struggled with anorexia through high school and when I married young and got pregnant right away my roller coaster started.
So from marriage to now I have weighed everywhere from 135-247. The highest weight was at ninth months pregnant, but still I've been obsessed with it.
I lost about 40 lbs after my divorce and now with a hormone problem 20 have crept back on. I exercise 3 times a week but will be bumping it up. I may have to work twice as hard to combat the health effects of what I've done to my body but it will be worth it.
The cougar thing is a joke. I've been told at 34 I'm still a kitten and I don't become a cougar until 35. I'm not interested in younger men but I think the whole idea of a term for single women over 35 is hilarious. :)
