Week 1

Week 1 of dieting went okay.  I was craving junk food like crazy.  I did not give up my chai even though they are 8 points each, I did cut down to only one a day. Yay me!  I also lost 4 pounds.  I wish it would warm up so I could start walking or roller blading.  I purchased Zumba and just learning the moves kicked my butt, but it was really fun.  I'm going to start doing Zumba during my lunch on my telecommute days.

I have been downloading tons of books to put on my ipod.  Right now I'm in a "Lifetime movie" type of book mood so I have been listening to Nicholas Sparks.  I love romantic tear jerkers.  They will have to wait starting tomorrow since I just earned my two credits for Audible and will download my next two Sherrilyn Kenyon books.

Well that is enought for now or else I will just ramble.

Starting my weight loss journey

I started Weight Watchers online last night.  I'm sick of being fat and looking like I'm still pregant.  I did Weight Watchers when I wanted to lose weight for my wedding and lost almost 40 pounds and then stopped doing the program and gained it all back plus some over the last 10 years.  So my goal is to lose 80 lbs by my 10 year anniversary, October 13, 2011.

I know I need to start eating better which writing down everything I eat will help with and I need to quit being so seditary.

My first goal is to lose 5% of my weight (11 pounds) and to do some form of excersize every day.

I'm also going to say good bye to my daily Venti Chai's from Starbucks since they are just empty calories.  I will treat myself to one a week if I excersize every day that week and follow the program like I'm supposed to.  I'm sure I will lose weight just getting rid of the 300 calories a day and sometimes 600 calories a day from the chai.

Food: Best Friend or Worst Enemy

I won't lie, I LOVE to eat.  I try to eat healthy but it only happens 20% of the time.  I have a very hard time giving up my junk food.  I wonder, could that be the reason I'm overweight?  Of course it is!  I just can't figure out how to get my brain to realize that junk food is junk and it is not good for me.  Junk food is my drug.  I have carrot, celery, apples, and salad in the refrigerator, but I never go for it.  I go for the chocolate, chips and salsa, goldfish, crackers, ect.  Too bad my brain doesn't have a reset button.

I really do need to get my act together so my children learn good eating habits and do not end up overweight later in life like their Mama.

My Blog

I've decided after one of my friends started to blog, I should start a blog of my own.  So this blog will just be about me and my thoughts.  I hope I'm better updaing this blog than I am on my children's blogs.
