Day 1

After speaking to my friends, it is time.  I can no longer ignore what keeps laughing at me in the mirror.  It is time to get off the couch and do something.  I am currently 145 lbs.  My goal is 130.  I am not going to give myself a time line.  If I do, I am afraid if I "slip up" I will just give up.

No more soda
Drink more water
Give up snacking (bad snacks)
Eat less bread!! (my weakness)
Commit to doing at least 15 minutes of exercise (slowly working my way up) daily
Remind myself daily that I CAN DO THIS!

Weight today: 145

Exercise for today:
Sexy goddess warmup
Hop in place: 1 minute
Bicycle crunches: 1 minute
Jumping jacks: 1 minute
Leg lifts: 1 minute

4 minute warm up kicked my ass.  It has been that long since I have done any sort of work out.  I will feel this later I am sure.
Going to walk with the little ones today.  That will be 15 minutes
Like I said, taking it one day at a time and slow.  I can't rush into a full work out because I will never stick to it.

16oz of water doesn't seem like a lot.  I am not a big water drinker to begin with, so this is going to be a challenge.  I am not a fan of crystal light or any of those other powdered water drinks.  So, I am going to suck it up and just drink my water...hopefully more than once a day.  It's a good start, right?

The day is almost over and I have to say I did ok.  I can't say great because I did have bread today & I didn't eat like I should have.  I did drink 2 16oz of water & nothing else.  I am starving at this point and I am about to eat dinner.  Nothing really on the diet menu, but it is chicken w/ broccoli & cheese! As I have learned...eat in moderation.
