Ok, I got on the scales after being on my exercise and eating plan for about a week and I was not really happy with the results. But, I know it takes time when you first get started. So, I am NOT giving up. I will walk again today and will try to walk at least 1 day this weekend. I am sore but as Lance Armstrong once said, " Pain is temporary,quitting lasts forever!" (Thanks Jules) I do notice that when I get home after my walks, take my shower and rest about 15 minutes I seem to have more energy into the evening to get some things done. I plan on doing some pre-scrapping this weekend to get ready for my May scrap trip. I have a wedding book and 2 baby books to make so that will keep me busy.


Just remember that if you are thinking of changing your lifestyle there is not time like the present and I know that in the long run it will be worth it. I am thankful that I am healthy enough to walk and that I have a good support of family and friends as I continue on to a healthier and hopefully smaller me.

Wednesday, April 25, 2012 So today will make 3 days in a row walking and I am now walking 2 miles in about 30 minutes. The weather outside is still cooperating and I have got some new exercise music on my IPod to listen to as I walk. I am really enjoying being outside every afternoon as being behind my desk all day gets old. I find myself actually looking forward to my walks and I think this is a good thing. I am still watching what I eat but yesterday I did splurge a little by having fried fish and dessert. But, today I am doing good. My joints are aching some and yes I am tired but it is a good feeling and I know that means that my body is working. So I continue to be committed in my pursuit of living healthier so I can feel better. Someone at work today said they heard on the news that Louisiana is the least peaceful state to live in and you know that got me to thinking. Being at peace does not mean being in a certain location, peace comes from within yourself and how you feel about yourself and life and in my case I am at peace as I am happy and doing what I want to do. So no matter where you live you can be at peace! I am blessed beyond what I deserve as God has given me so much, my family, my friends, my job and my health. Yes, I am at peace and I thank God for that everyday! I weigh again on Friday and hope to see the scales go down. I will keep you posted and thanks for all the positive comments.

Ok ,my last post was in February and now it is April.. Geeze where did the time go? I have decided it is time to try and get some weight off again. So, yesterday, April 19 was my 1st exercise day and I walked 30 minutes outside on campus. The weather was really nice and I am a bit sore today but that is a good thing. I plan on trying to walk every day for a week outside while the weather is still not too hot. Then, I will head back inside to the gym and do the treadmill and start some weights. It is really hard after working a 9 hour day to exercise as I really just want to go home. But, I really need to do this for me. I hate that my belly is so fat when I see pictures of myself and I would love to wear clothes and not look prego. It will also be difficult to watch what I eat as my sweet hubby is always cooking something yummy. I am helping him prepare meals a week in advance in hopes that I can eat healthier.

So I will keep my log here and hope that my body shrinks as I work hard to reach my weight goal.
