Busy! Busy! Busy!

I have been so busy! I have weighted a few times and there is no good news to share. I have been staying about the same. I have been exercising when I can. I went to the zoo with my son on saturday and then on a hike/walk on sunday. Pete had us climbing up this mountain side with toddlers in tow, my calfs were burning! And now they are still kinda sore but its a good feeling and I want to feel it more! Donna and I have been talking about joining a gym. We are thinking about the YMCA. Its is close to us both and has classes. I need to look into it and get on a routne. I called my doctor to make an appoinment and talk about weight loss. I want to get a glucose tolerance test done to make sure I am not dibetic. That will make it harder for me to lose weight and could be unhealthy if I am not careful.

Right now the thing I am struggling with the most is healthy eating choices. And propotion size. I like to eat and my house always has good food to eat! It is hard to eat differently then everyone around you! And then once I slip I have a hard time getting back on the band wagon again. I need to figure out how many calories I need to take in and lose weight. Ok got to go now and talk to my instructor!

And it Begins

Encouraged by my bestfriend, I have started this blog to keep track of my desires to overturn my life and become a new me. I currently am 5'9" and weigh a wopping 285 lbs. I am a size 22. AHHHH!

In high school I was the same high but weighed 170 lbs. And I was a size 12. That is my goal!!! Then I thought I was huge, expecially in compairson to the other girls but now I WISH to be that small again! I simply want to beable to wake up in the morning and not have a sore back, I want to go walking and not have sore feet. I want to stop throwing out my back every slight wrong turn. I want to got hiking, backpacking, swiming, running and not feel beat by my own body! It is my limitation and is holding me back from enjoying life. I will change and change will start now!

WHO IS WITH ME?

I need incouragement, accountability, and support! Exercise buddies and confidances! I want to loose as much as I can as quick as I can. I want to jump in with two feet and not look back. I want to start a new life style, new eating habits, new exercise habits, new priorities! I want to feel comfertable in a swim suit again by this summer! I am sick of feeling pregnant when I am not!!!!! I want to have fun shopping for clothes. I want to not be disgusted everytime I look in the mirror and see my second chin, third back and pot belly! I most of all want to be health and fit so I can do life to the best of my ability!

My goal is to weigh my self everyday! If it is fresh in my mind everyday my goal will be fresh in my mind every day! Today I will go buy a scale! Yea for Tax returns! I'd also like to measure my gurth every week, the things you measure grow I have heard, In this case the goal is to shrink and I am hoping I will be doing that!


YEAH! I CAN DO THIS AND I WILL!!!!
