OK, here we go.
First journal entry. Time to admit my weight in writing.
202 lbs.
There. I said it. <whew>
Now to do something about it.
When I turned 31 I weighed 138 and was about to run my first half marathon. Best shape of my life. Then I got married, helped my husband through his battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, then had my daughter a few months before my 37th birthday. From there I just kept packing on the pounds.
Now I'm 44 and sick and tired of being fat.
I used to ride my bike a lot, so my husband tuned up my wheels after 10 years in the garage, and I went out for my first ride last Monday. 5.7 miles. I thought the hills would kill me, but I survived.
I go to the Y and do aqua exercise classes 2 times a week. I have arthritis in my knees and hips already, so the water feels great. I also try to walk at least 3 miles sometime during the week.
I'm trying to mix up my exercise routine so I don't get bored and give up. I think I can do this, but it's so easy to talk myself out of it. You guys need to hold me accountable.
My other problem is food. I love food. And I have an IMPOSSIBLE time turning away from it. I can be staring into the pantry, knowing that I'm not really hungry, that I should just walk away - and still I grab something out and say "Oh well". It's horrible. I just can't say no. I have no willpower.
The fat around my belly is so dense that I have a hard time bending over to tie my shoes. I can't keep living this way. Something HAS to change. Today. Now.
So here's what my plan is. Every time I want to grab something to eat when I know I shouldn't, I'm going to write a journal entry. Maybe that will shame me into passing on the "snack".

I don't have a timeframe for my goal weight, just to lose a pound a week would be great. To actually see the scale going in the other direction for a change. To not be the only fat Mom on our street.

So there it is. I hope I can actually do this.
