29…And this
is it…
In July I
turned 29. Yup folks I know what that
means the BIG 3-0 is less than a year away.
When Oprah turned 50 I remember everyone patted her back and said, “It’s
okay Oprah, 50 is the new 30!!!” Does
that mean 30 is the new 10?! And if so,
what am I doing with three kids, a dog and a husband?! I don’t know any 10-year-olds with all
that!!
Okay, so let’s
say, 30 is the new 20! That would be
kind-of cool. I mean my 20’s have flown
by. At 22, I had my first baby; at 24 I
got married, a month and a half later at 25 I had my second baby, at 26 I was
pregnant with my third baby, and at 27 I had her. Now here I AM!!!! TWENTY-NINE!
What I’ve heard about the 30’s!
Your body is
never the same…losing weight is so much harder!
Do it now Alissa, it’s only going to be harder when you turn 30!
I thought phooey! How much can a person change when they turn
30…Age is just a number right?! Then a friend of mine, a very reliable source
said, “Alissa, I never believed them either…your body is not the same after 30!”
MAN! I should have believed a long time ago. Maybe I did, because for years I’ve said, I
am going to lose weight and be healthy by the time I turn 30. Well the years I used to have to prepare have
now turned into –well look at the countdown clock on the sidebar!
Why the Blog?!
Why in the
world would anyone want to blog about such a touchy subject? Why would you want to share this with
anyone?
I need to
journal my experience, write about everything! I need you, my ENCOURAGING
friends and family to support me in this next year. Listen if you only want to talk about how fat
I look and have nothing nice to say, Get lost!
Say what you want, I teach my kids to brush off their shoulders, I can
do the same! Words, they sting, but
guess what bees die after they sting a person…that’s all.
I’m not ready to share my weight…we’ll get there
eventually, let’s just say I’ve lost 60lbs once (many years ago), and I’ve been on a roller-coaster of weight gain and loss since having kids. I know; well at least I’m trying to convince
myself that I can do this!
Love Yous!

Me <><
Awesome idea! I love that bee comment. You can do it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kris!!! I miss you so, but the next time you see me...
DeleteAlissa,
ReplyDeletei will be your encouraging friend from arizona. I too am on a path to weight loss through healthy living, so we can support each other! Every time I am tempted I tell myself outloud "i can do all things through Christ who gives me strength!" Take it a day at a time. It goes by faster that way and it feels rewarding. I love you girlfriend! Xoxoxo You Got This!
Thanks MoJo!!!! I love you!
DeleteYOU CAN DO THIS! What I tell myself everyday while dragging the kids to kickboxing, or walking/jogging witht eh around the lake, or getting a little earlier or staying up a little later to do an excercise video is this..."You matter, you need to be a priority i your life, because a healthy Mom breeds healthy children with good self esteem!" That piece of cake that tastes so good (and trust me I LOVE cake lol) is not nearly as rewarding as that feeling when you step on the scale and see the pounds gone, or when you put on a pair of pants that hasn't fit in forever. You got this girl!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jessie!!!!!
