Okay, I have just found this board with all these journals. I have read a couple of them and have just been inspired to start my own. If I don't write down every thought and action, I fear that this weight loss journey will never be. This will be my accountability journal. I'm gonna write down each day's events, whether it's what I ate, what type of exercise I did, my feelings or maybe whatevers on my mind. You're welcome to read along if you're bored or maybe get some inspiration as I did with many of your journals. You can even post if you'd like. FEEL FREE!!!
DAY 1
Well I stepped on that damn scale this morning. Hey, I need a starting point, right? I took that number and then subtracted what weight I'd like to be and the magical number of pounds to lose is 175lbs How sick is that!!!!!
But I'm not even concentrating on how much I need to lose. I'm just gonna start this journey and keep plugging along.
I'm not gonna follow anything really specific right now. I'm just gonna make sure that I drink a bunch of water (which is nothing for me anyhow, I love water), cut down on my portions, cut out most of the junk food I eat (which is QUITE A LOT--that's why I said I was cutting out most of it, I think if I cut it all out, I would just croak) and get in some exercise. That's the hardest part for me though. Being 175 lbs overweight, it's a bit hard to get in the "recommended" 30-60 minutes a day. So my plan is on Monday's and Friday's when the boys have soccer practice, I'm gonna get my feet moving and walk around the school. If I had to guess I'm sure it's a little over a 1/2 mile. Then on Tues-Thurs I'll pop in an exercise DVD and do what I can. It may be only 5 minutes (maybe 6, who knows) But I'm just gonna do something each day to get moving.
It's 9:30 am right now but I think I'll be posting each days journal at night when the day is winding down and I have already eaten my stuff and done some type of exercise.
Well here's to day number 1
