Weightloss

Mood: sore

Horray my first entry.

Yesterday was a day of reckoning.  I could not take it anymore.  I had my son a year and a half ago, and I honestly believe I am heavier now, than when I was pregnant.  My friend who had her son six months ago, is now smaller than I am.  I love to eat, I loooove food.  But I hate being fat even more!  I always told myself that I would never allow myself to weigh over 150 lbs, here I am 168 pounds later.  If I continue down this path I'm going to reach 200 lbs.

 Action need to be made NOW!

 Yesterday, I began to watch some salsa lessons DVDs I got from NetFlix.  Upon moving around a bit I knew I had to put in my Tae Bo DVD.  I knew it was a challenge.  But I'm tired of sitting on my ass and seeing other people work hard to get the bodies they want.  Its now my turn to work hard, I've been too easy on myself at this point. 

 I am proud to say that I completed the entire DVD (48 minutes of it!)  Now I am so sore!  I worked muscles that I did not know even existed on my mushy frame!

I'm proud of myself.  The exercise isn't what I consider the hard part.  Its my food addiction.  If I can get to point where I don't live to eat, but instead eat to live, I believe the pounds will just fall off me.

I don't know if I should work out again today being that I am so currently sore.  Maybe a light walk around the block or something would do me some good.

 I want to be moving everyday! 

 I also have been using a pedometer, the goal is to walk 10,000 steps a day.  Its alot harder than it looks.  Sometimes I can walk to my husband's job, and my count for the end of the day is like 5,000 steps.

I don't want to be the size I was in high school (though that would be great), but I would be happy if I could lose 10-20lbs, if I can do that, and stay there then I know even the impossible (high school size) is possible.
