Yikes! So here I am on Day 1 at 288 lbs. I can't believe I just wrote that down out loud! So, my epic tail (yes, grammar police I know the difference between tail and tale) is going to be about my weight loss journey. Am I the first to blog about losing weight? Certainly not. Is this for the world to see? Not really. I am not planning on publicizing this, but I am not making it private either. I guess I am just doing this for me. A way to see my journey and write about it without constantly having to find my notebook and a pen. If other people stumble upon it and are inspired by me or just want to laugh at the fat chick in the lucky T-shirt, I'm okay with that. Really, I have a husband and kids who love me just the way I am. As a matter of fact, I guess that's why I am starting this journey for like the millionth time. I know that If I continue to live this way, my life won't be long. I look at my Grandma, she's 92 and I know that I will not live to that age carrying all of this extra weight around. I think I would like to meet my great great grandkids, just like she has. I hope to use this as some kind of accountability to myself. My Goal is to just do something every day whether it's 10 jumping jacks or a full workout. I just need to move. I also need to increase my water intake. That's it for now. I am not working on "dieting". I may try to keep up with points or something, because I have done it and am accustomed to how that works, but I am not going to institute too many changes at once. To be honest, I don't think my cooking is really the true culprit. I am the only fat one in the house. My husband and kids are all fit. The difference is that they are all active, while the only activity I see is cleaning the house and doing laundry. So, as of today, move, drink, blog. That's it! Today, I did my 4 mile walk away the pounds video. I've had it for several years, I picked it up at the Goodwill for a couple of bucks and I really love it. I plan to use some different workouts so I don't get bored. We have netflix and several Kinect games, so there's plenty to choose from. I guess I also want to prove to myself that I don't need a fancy gym or a support group to do this. I'm going to get my support from my family and God. I am going to give myself one out from blogging and moving though. If I get the stomach flu, all bets are off for that day. That's the only one, i think. I have to say that after exercising today I feel better. I am a little achy for sure, but that's nothing a warm shower, a few advil and losing a few pounds won't cure. I suppose that is all I want to say for today. Catch you later internet!
