Everything you want in life takes work.

Today is the first official day of my eating and exercising routine to loose weight. I refuse to call it a diet. I really don't have the means to do a "Diet" because every "diet" on the market costs money! So I'm just going to start portion controling and eating more healthy items such as fruits and veggies (something I'm sooo bad at!)

Since today is the official start, of course I had to brave the weigh in! Eeeekkk! A shiver goes down my spine!

My current weight: 215lbs (wow...I've really put on since high school!)

My exercise for the day: A brisk one mile walk around the track

This actually made me feel good about myself. Of course the medical reason would be because exercise releases endorphines and helps ease stress and other minor mental incompacities. But the REAL reason I felt good! Hahah...this is funny. There were a group of MPs doing a PT test. There were at least 3 guys that I LAPPED!!! I was walking!!! They were running! hahahaha. I thought it was pretty funny!

I do want to give a hat tip to this one guy, WOW...he ran two miles in 10:34 min! an incredible pace.

Anyway, I'll be doing my updates every Monday. They'll be my weigh in days.

Wish me luck! I have until December 14th to loose weight. (that's the day hubby comes home from training!)

Good for you! I wish I could go walk with you. Or go to yoga like we used to!!!

I hate that the gym here doesn't have childcare. Nor does the one at the college down the street. I understand why THEY don't - they are marketing to college students, not Army wives. But c'mon, you'd think the one on post would have childcare like the one up there. *sigh*

Congratulations! Yay! I NEED to be better about watching what I'm eating and fitness too...especially being pregnant. =( I've been soooooo bad at it! :( I should resolve to take my dog for a walk EVERY DAY! LOL She's a Border Collie so the walk would do HER good too!
