Day One

Wow, what a day. It actually wasn't half bad. I followed my calorie restriction and came in at just over 1200 which isn't bad considering before I did this I probably ate that many in a sub I had for lunch, lol. I even ate breakfast, which I don't do unless it's a McMuffin. I was startled that my coffee that I drink each morning has 190 calories in it. Going to have to find a way to lessen that. Start adding less sugar each day or switch to splenda maybe? My workout is the Firm with the Fanny Master thing and I did the Cardio Sculpt this evening. My 5 year old was working out with me, bless his heart. I could only do 30 minutes out of the hour program before I was out of breath and red faced. My son, on the other hand, was just getting started lol. Hopefully, after I make this a habit, I will be able to do the whole hour without being out of breath. I should probably quit smoking to accomplish this as well. For all of you that's reading this, I hope somebody realizes that we're not in this alone. There are people out there that are taking it one day at a time. If I mess up, I have to keep going this time. I CAN NOT give up. I also found out, I really only weigh 150 pounds today. HUGE PLUS!!!! Tune in tomorrow............

The day before Day 1

What in the world am I doing? I don't even like blogs, yet here I am starting one. Why, you ask? Well, let's see: I turn 28 on Thursday, am 5'4" and have been asked at least once a month, for the past 6 months, if I'm pregnant or when I'm due. I'm not pregnant. I weigh 167 pounds. I've been told by one of my closest friends that I carry it well. Yeah, well I don't want to carry it well or any other way. I have tried many times to start a healthy lifestyle and stick to it, but I haven't. I've had that piece of chocolate or didn't work out since I worked so hard that day and was already tired. So, I figure if I start a blog and blog about my weight loss trials and successes, and people actually read it, then I'll finally have SOMEONE to hold me accountable. To support or even make fun of. I start tomorrow. Say a prayer for me.
