I'm 'write' here Cil!!!!!!

Well, it's been a while since my last post...I know, I know!! Just popped in and saw my girl Cil blogging away like a real blogger and well, 'I gotta get in there', I thought. Can't let Cil get all the sunshine in the garden, hahaha garden pun!

Anyway, it's been a rough start to the lifestyle change but after a couple weeks I think I may have gotten going. I'm focused on getting healthy once again. I feel strong, Arugula will wilt no more!! That's my battle cry. I have grand plans in my head, I only hope to follow through. It's hard when you think a certain way for so long, it is really hard to turn on dime. It almost feels like a loss especially if you are trapped, like I was, in a way of thinking, living and eating. It really is a hard journey, good thing I have Cil to keep me sane in uncertain times.

Day 16 - 186 lbs.

Lightening up from the garden,
Arg!!!

Get your ass in gear Arugula

Everyday, I wake up and lose my motivation for change. Everyday, I go to bed thinking tomorrow I will do it! Tomorrow turns to today and nothing changes, what if there is no tomorrow? All we have is NOW!!! All I have is now and all I truly have is myself! Well once again I begin tomorrow because no matter what the time will go by with or without change, 3 months down this road I want to see improvement in me, my life and my body!! I CANNOT LET MYSELF DOWN, I CANNOT LET ARUGULA WILT!!!! I WANT TO BE A POSITIVE MOTIVATOR FOR MY BUD CILANTRO!!!!
Enough ist enough, I must be the change and make it happen!!!!

DAY 1 - 192 lbs ( exactly where I was 3 yrs ago )
Let's do this Cil, put that chip bag down...we've got a mountain to climb!!!

A

1st Day of the Rest of Our Life!!

Here we go again - hitting it... and hitting it good!! I'm getting out there. Today continues the journey of the rest of our lives!!

Eating better, getting physical & making it a lifestyle... not a diet!

Today was a good day, healthy eating & a brisk evening walk. Baby steps - but great steps in the right direction.

We got this!

You out there, Arugula?

Love & Chip Crumbs,

My motto for this journey & the rest of my life:

Get Your Ass In Gear, Cilantro!!

Damn straight! I've been wishing that for years now. Totally feeling lazy today - not motivated to do anything, I'm tired & cold and sick of the snow... blah blah blah.... excuses, excuses - I am full of them!! 

Be the change... BE THE CHANGE!!

Love & Chip Crumbs,

Allow Me to Introduce Myself

Hello & welcome to The Adventures of Arugula & Cilantro. 

I guess I should tell you a bit about myself, you can call me Cilantro. 

You might ask, what is Cilantro? 

Let me tell you... Cilantro is a soft, hairless plant growing to 50 cm (20 in) tall. The leaves are variable in shape, broadly lobed at the base of the plant, and slender and feathery higher on the flowering stems. 

I guess I'm not much like Cilantro at all... I'm taller than most, hairier than most & more on the chubby & heavy side than slender & feathery.

I have a wicked sense of humour (like most pudgy people) and a love for potato chips.

The best part of this adventure is the fact that I get to do it with my best friend, Arugula. We've often talked about "getting out there", how "tomorrow is a new day" and that we're "going to be the change"... unfortunately - we live far apart from each other and our motivation seems to wither away after a couple weeks (maybe days).

BUT.... FINALLY... 2013 is OUR year!! We're getting out there, TODAY is our new day and we're going to be the change - and lucky for you, you get to come along for the journey.

I'm not sure where this blog will go - or for how long but I hope it will end up being one of the greatest adventures ever told.

Hold on tight - it's going to be a crazy one!

Love & Chip Crumbs,

Cilantro.
