Weight Loss: Day three

January 4, 2010 By 1 Comment

Well here we are with the third day down.  It seems as if this has all been too easy.  I am usually much more obsessive by now.  I have usually weighed myslef about a million times by now.  I have usually eaten some chocolate by now.  As I stated yesterday, this seems different.  It is not motivation that I have.  It is just that I know I need this.  It is that it feels right.  So here is how the day went

I went for a walk with Abigail and our new dog.  It was better then I had expected.  I lived through it and because of my new shoes my foot that hurts ALL of the time.  It all went so well that I chose to walk again this evening.  I will be waking up again tomorrow to repeat my walk.

As far as eating today I did wonderfully.  I had a shake for breakfast, a chicken sandwich for lunch with fruit and pretzels and tuna caserole with salad and broccoli for dinner.   I think that all in all that is a wonderful day.

Tomorrow is day 4.  I am proud to say that I have my meals all planned out and that I am ready.  I hope you are all doing as well as I am.

Weight Loss Journey: New Year’s Resolution

I am ready.  Today is the first day of 2010.  It is the first day of a new me.  I have done a lot of sole searching in the past week to determine if I am really ready to loose weight.  It has required a lot of thought.  The first thing I decidecd to do was to list all of the things that my weight is holding me back from.  Although it is very personal I decided to share.  I figure that in sharing it perhaps it will help someone else stay motivated.  So here it is:

  1. I am in pain.  It is preventing me from living the way I want to day to day.
  2. I cannot hike with the kids.
  3. I am uncomfortable sitting in the movies because my butt is too big.
  4. Everything hurts… Sitting, walking, climbing the stairs, shifting in bed, and yes I mean everything!
  5. I cannot walk  without becoming winded.
  6. I cannot fly in a plane comfortably.
  7. I cannot go on roller coasters.
  8. I cannot dance with my girls.
  9. I cannot get off of the floor easily when I play with the kids.
  10. I cannot buckle comfortably with a coat on.

I will be beginning to cut calories today, tomorrow I will ease into exercise and in two weeks I will be joining weight watchers.  I have been successful before with the program and am looking forward to structure.  Until that point I will finish a jar of HerbaLife I have left over.  While HerbaLife will be a good jump start I have not found that I am able to stay on it for more then about a month.  Mixing things up should help!

I am sure that there are many more things that are not on my mind right now.  I need to do this for me.  I need to be alive again.  My weight is killing my body, my mind and most of all my spirit.  This will be the year that I take charge of me.  Who is with me?

P.S.  The scale picture is not me.  I am going to take on… but I will not post it until I am ready emotionally to put it out there!
