i started walking....

yesterday my friend and i started walking. down our big hill and back up. took us 20 mins. we survived. if you could see our hill, you would see how hard it is for 2 overweight out of shape females. we are going to walk 4 days a week and the other 2 days i am going to figure out something here.

i am going to start walking....

either around my neighborhood or at the track down the road. its great now that the snow is gone. 4 times around the track is a mile. i can push lauren in her stroller or let her walk/run with me. she is my biggest motivator. i NEED to be around for her while she is growing up. she is my whole world and i love her very much.

i have decided that sundays are....

my rest day. i will not exercise or obsess over losing weight. i will still watch what i eat and drink but if i want something not good for me, i will have it but not too much. i feel i need to have one "bad" day as long as i don't go overboard. i may switch it up and make the bad day a different day depending on the week. i can do this and i look forward to being a milf and getting my tramp stamp. lol.

i did a little bit of exercising today.....

brandon saine from the ohio state buckeyes was at our local mall so i took lauren and we went to get alex an autograph. well we got there right before it started and our number was 560 so we were in for a long wait. i had brought Lauren's stroller in so we did laps around the mall. i didnt count but i figured at least 3 times, i am not sure how far that is but now i can feel it in my back and legs. well my mom always said it takes pain to be beautiful. lol. i start my program on monday. wish me luck.

i am starting a food diary....

to keep track of when i eat and how much. i totally blew it last night but that's ok, today is a new day. i am going to do it on my computer. i figured that's easier and i won't be killing trees. i am going to try not to eat after 7. i need to stop sitting in the front of the tv and eating. that's another goal: to eat at the table as a family even when alex is at work. i need to be aware of the "wrong foods" i am eating and pay attention to what an actual serving size is. i am confused on reading labels, do i look for low fat, low carb, no sugar?? i need help in that area but once i start reading labels, i should be ok. i don't want to eat cardboard food. i want my food to still taste good but not hinder my progress, kwim? i am going to start eating more fruits and vegetables and healthier cereal in the morning, not the sugar coated stuff. i know this change will take me awhile but i am so worth it and so is Lauren Joye.

this is the day i have to....

figure out an exercise schedule. i am pretty sure i know what i am going to do but i will eventually have to add different exercises so i don't get bored too easily. i have heard i should work on one area of my body at a time. i would love to lose my chest. my girls are too big for my comfort and once again i don't want to have any type of surgery. So if anybody out there has any exercises they love, please feel free to share.

The new me

i have decided that i am tired of being the short little fat girl. i need to become healthier not only for me but for my little girl Lauren Joye. i feel that if i don't start doing something, i won't be around to see her go to college, get married and have babies. i weigh 264 lbs and i am 5 ft 2 in tall. i do have a goal weight but for right now i am setting a goal of 5 lbs and i will work from there. i have already switched to diet pop and lemonade. after that i will switch to water tea and lemonade. i know it will take me awhile to reach the light at the end of the tunnel but after all rome wasn't built in a day. my goal to be done is August 26 2012, my 40th birthday. as soon as the weather gets nice, i will walk outside. for now i have to rely on videos and stuff i have seen in magazines. i watch the shows on tv and there is no way i can exercise 4 hrs a day, not with school and a 3 yr old so for right now i will shoot for an hour 3-4 times a week and go from there.
