Welcome! I have created this blog to not only help me, but hopefully help someone else as well. The goal is to loose this weight that has been following me my whole life. I would like to loose 55 lbs in one year. I hope this will inspire at least one person to do this along with me. I believe the more support you have the better!!! Let’s get SKINNY!!!

Day 4

I just figured out that I will have to loose one pound a week for the next 12 months. That to me sounds like a lot! I have never dieted for that amount of time. I know what you’re thinking. “It is supposed to be a way of life, not a diet.” I have heard that many of times. I just can’t seem to give up everything I love for…..well….ever. I can’t help but feel like it’s forever anyway. I am sure once the weight is gone, I will be able to eat what I like again. Of course that is all in moderation. It will definitely be hard but I think I can do it.  

After talking with my husband, he encouraged me not to think of it long term and just take it week by week. I think this is good advice. Baby steps right? I got on the scale this morning and I am happy to report I lost 2 pounds. YAY!!  I know it isn’t a lot but it makes me happy. I have been working out everyday and keeping a journal. I write down what I eat, drink and how much exercise I do. It not only helps me be accountable but, I think it will help me to look back at what I have accomplished. I think it is a good tool to look back and see what worked and what didn’t too. I would recommend this to a friend anytime!

Bye for today!
