Day 1

Well, I've decided that it's time to get serious about losing this baby weight. I mean, for goodness sake, my little man is almost a year old already! This blog is all about accountibility, no more just saying "I should lose some weight". Oh no, from here on out I am committed. I will do something every day to further my goals. That is my vow to myself. Hmmm, maybe I should make some goals. be right back, I've got to weigh myself.............Ok, my official starting weight is 172lbs. (*hangs head in shame, and fights urge to edit*)
Well, for my height I should be 125-135lbs. So, ultimately I would like to lose 45 pounds. Yikes! That's a lot! To make it more manageable I'm going to break it down into small steps. First I want to lose 10 pounds. Then, from there, I will reassess and develop a timetable to reach my ultimate goal!
So far today I've had a couple of positives. I walked about a mile today with Nathan, and said no the ice cream in the freezer calling my name. I've also had some megatives. I've eaten most of a bag of twizzlers pull and peel candy, drank about 3 sodas, and my dinner is a creamy, cheesy lasagna. And I missed breakfast.
My food goal for tomorrow is NO SODA. I drink waaaay to much, and it's not healthy, and it's a bunch of extra, empty calories.
My exercise goal for tomorrow is to walk at least a mile, and do 5 min. of stretches.
Well, I'm wishing myself luck, pulling on my sneakers, and off to fire up the treadmill!
