Good day today!
Well today was a good day. I went and got my hair done which helps me with self esteem. Eating was good today also. I had a bowl of Special K and a banana for breakfast. I skipped lunch since I was getting my hair done. For dinner I went to my parents house and we had shrimp cocktail, vegetarian egg rolls, and an Ahi Tuna salad with sesame seed dressing. It was really good. I think I might have a piece of fruit for dessert. Thanks to all who have read my blogs and have offered their support and given me some feedback. It is very much appreciated!

I need to find Motivation!
So it's been a few days since I first joined and so far it hasn't gone as I had hoped for. I don't know if it's the fact that I'm on vacation right now or what but I have had no motivation whatsoever to do anything the last few days. I have been so tired lately that I want to do absolutely nothing on my vacation but rest and be lazy.
Today was actually better though, I went and bought a measuring tape so I could measure myself and post my numbers. I have never measured myself before and I was pretty disgusted with myself. I also posted my "before" pics on here too. I had a few doctors appointments and I kinda thought that this could be my motivation in knowing where I stand as far as the doctors go and I can use this as a push towards the start of my goal.
Speaking of goals, I have set my first mini goal. I would like to lose the 8 pounds that I have packed on since the beginning of the year. I did pretty good today as far as eating goes. Breakfast wasn't good, I had 2 pancakes but i had a string cheese, low fat yogurt, and some mini sweet peppers as a snack. For dinner I made a homemade spinach, basil, and garlic pesto sauce over chicken and a small portion of pasta. Only ate half of it too. I am craving the chocolate ice cream that I know is in the freezer but instead I thought I would poor myself a big glass of water. I am going to try really hard to think about what I'm putting in my mouth to eat.
I was looking at exercise videos today, but there are so many I was overwhelmed. Anybody have any suggestions for beginners?

About me
About me....
Let's see here, I just recently turned 30 and I know that I do not want to live my 30's feeling unhealthy and tired all the time. I see my friends who are in their 40's and they look great. I see my friends I went to school with and they all look great. And then there is me. I am disgusted with the fact that I have gained nearly 90lbs since high school. I didn't go to my 10 year reunion because I didn't want to be the one everyone was talking about with regards to who got fat and who didn't. I see these people who say they can run 7-10 miles in one day and the thought of that is crazy to me. I don't think I could even run down to the mail box and back without wanting to die first.
I know that I need to do something about my weight now before I start getting health problems. I know in order to start losing weight, my biggest tasks will be cutting down in portion sizes and becoming more active. I have a million different excuses that I have used over the years as to why I am not able to lose any weight including my work schedule, financial issues, and even going as far as saying since I have a big boyfriend I can't lose weight because I have to make them big meals. This is ridiculous!
This has got to stop! I need to take responsibility for myself. Nobody is going to do this for me. Only I can help myself. I thought that signing up for this website would help me in reaching a healthy weight. I will be upfront with you and tell you I am going to make little changes and little goals at first and then as time goes on I will make more and more changes to reach my goal.
