Thanks!! Hope to see you there...

Okay... so I'm a slacker...

Alright, well... I'm pretty fed up with my on again off again motivation for working out/losing weight. I have changed my mindset this time... I am going to try to incorporate a minimum of 30 min cardio into every day. That's it. One thing at a time... I think in the past I have been trying to do too much at once. I just need to do little changes.

List of goals:

1. Exercise for 30 minutes at least 6 days/week.

2. Post weekly weights on this website with a food diary.

3. Try to start paying attention to calories.

Weight loss goals:

1. 10 lbs: 260 lbs

REWARD: A new pair of earrings!

2. 10%: 243 lbs

3. 50 lbs: 220 lbs

REWARD: A New Outfit!

4. 75 lbs: 195 lbs

REWARD: SOMETHING BIG!!

5. 100 lbs: 170 lbs

REWARD: SOMETHING BIGGER!!!

6. 125 lbs: 145 lbs - GOAL!!!!!

REWARD: A Haircut from Brian!

A late start...

Okay, so it took me a little while to get started, but I think I am finally on track.  I've been doing Jenny Craig for about a month and a half now.  I'm not doing it verbatim, but I am relying mostly on their food for my daily routines.  Today, I went and met with an exercise physiologist at the school fieldhouse.  She took my depressing measurements, but I found that I had already lost 11 pounds, just from a few days of working out and eating healthier!  Was I excited?? HELL YEA!   So, she helped me design a workout plan for the next 6 wks.  I can do it! 

Today:  My "hill" routine on the treadmill... 1 hour of 2 min interval changes from 3.0 incline to 9-10 incline.  My speed was only around 2-2.3 mph, but that was good for me.  It said I burned nearly 300 calories!! HOORAY!!  I just hope I can stick with it...

Tomorrow... I try spin!

The first step...

Well, this is it.  I am taking the first step to living a healthier lifestyle.  I want to lose weight and feel better.  It's Tuesday and our traditional night out, so I will go out tonight... in preparation of change tomorrow.  I think that I will join Jenny Craig and hope that my hubby will join also.  With both of us doing it together... I think we've got a better shot.  Next time, I'll share some more details about myself.
