Today is the day. Every day is a new day and an opportunity to start over. This blog is intended to be many things. Mostly a place for me to chronicle my exercise and weight loss journey. Three days ago I restarted my journey. At my heaviest I was 345#. Through hard work and perserverance I got down to 265 and I was so happy, had so much energy and felt (and looked) GOOD!
Got divorced, went back to school, moved to a new city, had a few illnesses, started new meds for "girl problems" (which I quit because they caused INSANE fatigue!!!!) The list goes on. I want to say that these are the "reason" behind the weight gain, but in reality they are only the "excuse" behind the weight gain!
A couple weeks ago I weighed in at 309. I feel horrible. I feel fat and smooshey. I went and bought myself a Christmas present, Leslie Sansone Walk Away The Pounds - 3 mile walk. For the last three days I have been walking the full three miles. I feel great. Don't know if I lost any weight so far because my scale becomes very inaccurate around 295.
My intents - Taking it one day at a time - one week at a time - one month at a time!
1. exercise daily - 10K EVERY day up to 12K by end of January - Will reevaluate this goal at end of Jan.
2. Weigh, picture and measure weekly (on Sunday)
3. NO EXCUSES - be honest with myself about why I am doing this!
That's basically it. When I work out I feel much better and I tend to eat less. In February I will start to make goals regarding food. My thoughts are that little changes are best!! Start small, Baby Steps!!!

Every day is a good day to restart. Today is mine.

Great job!!! I can not wait till you and I are victors over this weight!
ReplyDeleteIt will happen.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to make numerical goals. I find that when I make goals like "2# per week" I fail. Because that week I might gain muscle. So I make exercise goals. And next month I will make some calorie goals.
hugs!
