one week later

Well I weighed my self this morning. I was one pound lower. At least it looks one pound lower. My eyesight isn’t the best, so I looked at it 4 times to be sure.

I was slammed at work this past week, busy with kids and a few other excuses but still 1 pound is one pound. That is 4 sticks of butter. A slab of bacon. Ok..

I am going to set some little goals for myself this week.

~loose 2 pounds

~walk 7 miles

~drink water everyday

Ok there are 3 goals. The first one being very dependant on the last 2.

I read about a Thanksgiving Walking Challenge in a blog this morning and am looking forward to that. I think it will help me tremendously.

Back at work

I am back at work today after being off for the Holiday. Good thing because sitting home watching the boob tube wasn’t doing anything for my diet plans. I said I wanted to do this… loose weight. I have no real plan though. Maybe just the decision to loose is the first step. I am sort of an all or nothing person I guess, I want to be done as I said in my first blog. I get it that it doesnt work that way. I am forcing myself to take this one day at a time. No perfection, just getting up today and doing this thing called self care. Drinking water, eating my veggies and lean meats. Avoiding sugar and unhealthy fats.. I can tell myself all the rules can’t I?

Today, my goal is not to play by all of the rules, but to stick to my decision to loose weight.

Just for today.. is all I can do.. for sure.

I do not want to write another Day One  diet post. I want it to be over . I want to be healthy now. Instead I am just beginning again. I ache from being over weight. My body is sceaming at me to lose some weight. So here I am. Day One..
