Come sail away….come sail away….come sail away with meeee!  That’s what it’s going to be like today!  I skipped the coffee, had a nice healthy bowl of fiber filled cereal with 1% milk and filled the water bottles.  It’s only 9:30 and I have managed to suck down 23oz of water so far.  GO ME!  

A bit more about me on my journey here:

On January 9, 2012, I decided to try out the Noom app I found in the Android Market. My beginning weight was 242.0 lbs.  I haven’t done every challenge it has asked me to complete because of a recent injury to my foot that left me with stitches. However, I have done all the other little things without problems. As of this morning, January 18, I weighed in at 238.6 lbs.  The little things really do make a difference.  Don’t give up. Start small.

I am hoping that with the Noom app, support from others and also small personal challenges I give myself will lead me to my target weight of 145 lbs.

My answers from my previous personal challenge are as follows:

Must change – legs, arms, belly

Just fine – back, butt, chest

Introducing......ME!

It was recently brought to my attention that…..I AM FAT!  No, really.  I mean it.  I had the opportunity to look at some pictures from the recent holidays and found myself in complete and utter disgust by what I had seen!  We aren’t talking just the 10 lbs that the camera throws on.  I wish I could say this was from the effects of a concave lens but this is not the case. The fact of the matter is that I have known for months now what the scale has told me but I have failed to see the same results in the mirror. Now, I can look at this from two different angles. Yay me! for having a great self esteem and not beating myself up for the last almost year that I’ve gained most of my weight but HOLY MOSES! did I ever let it get out of control.

Hi. I’m Paula and I am now claiming myself as president of Muffin Tops Anonymous.  Oops….FAIL. Hmmm, so much for anonymity.

I have started this blog today for two reasons. Ehhhh….make that three.  First and foremost, one of my New Years Resolutions was to try at least one new thing each month this year.  Check.  Second, I am looking for some type of solid motivation to reach the Fantabulistically Me that I know I can be.  And lastly, maybe I can make you chuckle enough with my posts to keep coming back for more so I can return the favor by helping you reach your goals.

Tonight’s challenge:

Look in the mirror and what do you see?  What are three things that must change?     What are three things that are just fine?
