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 2

Hello again!! Well, we made it through day one. It went really well for me. I did workout when I got home. I exercised for 30 minutes on the elliptical. My husband baked pork chops for dinner with green beans and applesauce. I didn’t drink as much water as I would have liked. However, I did drink more than I normally would. I got through maybe 3 bottles. I know water is the most important part in loosing weight, but it may take a little while to get back into the groove. To end the day I gave my son a bath, showered myself, watched a little TV and then I hit the hay.

This morning has gone well so far. I don’t work today so I got to sleep in a little. That will always start my day off well. I will say I weighed myself today and found that I gained 8 oz. What?  I told my husband I gained and he told me it’s probably water. Yeah, that sounds good. I think I will go with that. Then he tells me he lost 3 lbs since yesterday. What? It just isn’t fair.

I had an egg for breakfast along with a little cereal. No snack today. (I was too busy cleaning.) I took a break from cleaning to work out. Spent 20 minutes doing Zumba. For lunch my son and I had turkey sandwiches with a side of bananas. It was mighty tasty. 

TIPS OF THE DAY:
1.)    Take one day at a time
2.)    Drinks lots of water
3.)    Remember why you’re doing this

Hope everyone has another successful day!!

DAY-1

Weighed in this morning......Lets just say I am not the heaviest I have ever been. However no where near skinny. 213 lbs to be exact. I am pumped up and ready to do this. My first goal is 10 lbs in one month. HERE WE GO!!

I had a egg for breakfast this morning so I wasn't starving at work. I usually get something off the "Roach Coach" or don't eat anything at all. So far so good. I plan on working out when I get home. Maybe Zumba or Elliptical. I have recently started doing Zumba but I have found that it is best to do it when my husband isn't around. I don't think it is very attractive to see me jumping and bouncing around at this weight. 

I don't know what it is but I hate the thought of working out. I always feel good after I am done, but I can't seem to pump myself up. My husband can do it no problem. He is a runner. I wish I loved to run. I just don't. It isn't who I am. Do you think that defines us/me as a person. Either you're a "runner" (Athlete) or you're "not a runner" (over weight and struggle to loose weight). Actually I think I forgot the in between person there. I can't forget about the one who doesn't exercise and eats what ever they want when ever they want and don't gain a pound because they have good genes. I know we all wish we had those genes. 

I hope to have a very successful first day! Good bye for now :)
