Started!!!

I worked out both Thursday and Friday. It felt good to be doing it again. I really missed it. The women that work out there truly care about each other. Each step is encouraged and each achievement is celebrated. Can't beat the support system. Plus Debbie one of the coaches and I get along really well and she texts me if I haven't shown up for awhile. She is going to help me stay on track.

I will have to get weighed and measured this week. Not something I am looking forward to. But I need to track my progress by more than how I am feeling. So not much to share today but soon.

Starting Over

It has been over a year since my last post. And as I am sure you all can guess I am back to Square 1 with my wellness. Actually even farther back than that I am in negative numbers. My weight is now 327.8# (a record high by the way) and my energy level in non existent. I have not been working out like I should. 

I know my husband is concerned because he has suggested we look into the Lap band surgery again. I really don't think that is the way for me to go. I do know how to get the weight off. I also know I do better if I weigh in every week. I know I feel better if I keep the diet foods to a minimum. I know I don't need to eat everything I see and I don't need to give into the cravings. I know if I eat lean protein and fresh veggies I lose weight. I know if I exercise I lose weight. I know if I lose weight I feel better and have more energy. I know what to do.

So here I am 51 years old. Working full time when I would rather be home. My youngest is 14 and I really only have 4 years left with her. My son and his wife are expecting my 6th grandchild. Another son is engaged. My third son will be leaving for a mission. One daughter just got married. My husband has been having health issues. With all of the above going on, here I am eating myself in to an early grave. This madness has to end. 

Starting tomorrow I am going back to Curves and I will go everyday that I work (
Curves is in Bainbridge where I work) I will get signed up at Cairo fitness by the end of January so I can work out on days I don't drive to Bainbridge(I live in the Cairo area). I will go off caffeine and soda by the end of January. I will start counting calories after Jan 13th. (my 25th wedding anniversary) by that time all of the Christmas junk should be out of the house. One step at a time and one change at a time to put me back on the path.

By the time the Youth Conference rolls around again I want to be able to walk the Troy Campus with out wheezing. that is just about 6 months away.
