All in all I think that today was a great day. I was able to stay on my plan as far as eating, I almost drank all of the water I should have, and I am feeling overall happy. I know that to some two days in is nothing but for me it is everything. This is a journey I have take before. It is a journey that I have yet to complete. I cannot tell you the number of times I have worked at loosing weight. I have joined Weight Watchers many times, I have tried the South Beach Diet, nutritionist led diets and the list goes on and on. It is more times then I wish to count. It is not the programs that do not work. It is that I do not work the program.
It is odd. This time it all feels different. It is not that I am pumped up on motivation or anything. It is not that I have some huge reward waiting for me if I am successful. It is just different. This time I am just doing the best I can. I am easing into loosing weight. I am making my getting healthy a family afair. Not that I am discussing dieting with the kids or anything. I think that discussing dieting is wrong with children. They so often become obsessed. I have told our girls that we have been eating very bad lately and that for the new year we will be changing all of that. They have been great about it.
Thanks to my mother-in-law I am now the proud owner of Sketchers Shape-Up sneakers. I am adding a small walk tomorrow morning. I have invited Abigail to come with me on Monday’s and Friday’s. Emma is expressing interest but I do not think that she is going to want to get up early and walk in the freezing cold. I guess we will see. Her days are on Tuesday and Thursday. Wendsday will be my alone day. I wanted them all to be alone days but the more I thought about it the more I realized that if this was going to be a family change the girls would also have to be involved.
Day two is in the past now and I am anxious to move into day three. I think that tomorrow I will take a before picture. I think of all of the people who are successful and they all have their before picture.

What are you eating Becca. Oftentimes, it is due to boredom that people quit their diets. Anything you do to lose weight and get into better health must be something that you can adopt as part of your lifestyle. This is why you should do some kind of exercise that you enjoy and/or vary your exercise routine. You should also not only eat healthy, but adopt a menu plan that you can maintain, that include foods you like and a menu you can change overtime. This is what me and my wife have done. We exercise 5 – 6 days a week and cook healthy but delicious tasting meals. Our daughters have adopted our plan too and are doing very well. It is not restrictive so we don’t worry about any damage to our children’s health. I wish you much success on your change of lifestyle.
