I've Made Up My Mind. . .

No, I'm not keepin' my baby. . . well, I'm not giving any of them away, either, I guess.  At least not today, so far.

No, I made up my mind today -- with some prompting from my amazing trainer -- that I'm going to get started right away with my competition nutrition plan which means a drastic change in my current eating habits, and my psychology surrounding food.  I've got some friends who have agreed to come to an informational meeting to learn how we can all support and help each other through the holiday season without  falling into the usual holiday rut of eating like crap, feeling sluggish and unmotivated and subsequently gaining anywhere from 5 to 20 pounds.

This is going to require more than just "deciding I'm going to eat right."  This is going to require quite a little lifestyle overhaul for me; i.e., no cookie exchanges, holiday parties with delectable snacks, hours and hours of baking and decorating baked goodies with my kiddos. . . it's gonna be hard!!!  But I have some big goals and my trainer assures me that the sooner I start, the better my chances of bringing home one of these:


Or something akin to that. 

But more important than the sculpture for the shelf, what I am really seeking is the pinnacle of being able to apply my athletic skills and self-discipline to achieve changes in my body that I have heretofore not yet achieved.  Something along the lines of this:


I love this look and I know I've got it in me . . . I just need to alter some thought patterns and figure out how important this is to me and I need some serious accountability partners who will continue reminding me!!
