Yesterday, I woke up and began eating right once again. I have been feeling horrible for about a month....actually longer, but only started getting sick (enough) of it at that point. So, today is technically Day 2 of my continued journey. Today is especially notable because I joined the gym! I know that dieting alone is not going to get me the results I want or the health I seek. I'm so out of shape at this point that even putting on my own shoes leaves me winded. I'm up to 335 lbs (with tennis shoes on...lol) and I've never, ever been this size before. So, this is my official starting weight. I know that excercise and right eating will bring me quick results. I'm not claiming I will lose a lot of weight quickly. I'm saying that, with these changes, I'll be seeing results and successes DAILY. Already, yesterday...I felt energetic and at peace with myself for knowing I am strong enough to not give up and that I still love myself enough not to let my behaviors destroy the beautiful, talented, sweet, loving human being that I am. I have a business to run. I have a home to care for. I have a job to do. I have grown kids who will one day have babies for me to chase around. I don't want to sit any longer. I want to be up...moving...dancing...singing...and smiling at my reflection. I don't have much to write except to note that I did 30 minutes of weight training today and 10 minutes of cardio. The cardio was soooooooooooooo hard even though is was only walking at 2 mph on a treadmill at zero incline. BUT....I wanted to stop at 4 minutes. I was hurtin'. But, I told myself...."you can do 5"....and then at 5....I pushed for 7. And by the time I reached 7 I thought "What the hell. It already hurts. Can't hurt any worse. Only 3 more minutes." I must confess, however....I jumped off the thing at 9 minutes and 59 seconds! LOLMay 16, 2012
DAY 2: 'Cuz I Started With Eating Better Yesterday!
