Alright so I am going to try and be consistent about blogging so I figured I should have a catchy title ;)
First - update on how things are going. I have officially lost 3 lbs total. Still on with my goal of 1 1/2 pounds a week. I have been trying not to step on the scale except for 1 day a week. It's really hard! I want to see the difference every day but I also know that if I look at the scale too often I won't actually see it. It's like seeing your own kids everyday you don't notice how much they have grown but when you see nieces or nephews who you might only see every few months you immediately notice the difference. So taking that in account I have designated Wednesday my weight loss day.
So get moving. I had to decide to try and lose some weight and get healthy in the winter! Sigh. I was going to try and start walking this week. Then we got 6 and 1/2 inches of snow and the temperatures plummeted to zero. All very good excuses ;) Last year I purchased a Wii Fit. I loved my Wii Fit. It was fun and it got me moving. Then I broke my foot. When my foot healed and I could use it again my Wii stopped playing video games. Killed my exercise. I don't have any equipment and I don't really have room for any even if I could afford some. So what am I supposed to do? Get Moving!
As you probably can tell I am really good at making excuses for not exercising. I need to stop doing this but it's so hard (insert whiny voice here)! I really do have an issue with getting myself going. Even now as I write this I haven't really been out of bed yet and it's after noon. Yes I have been up and about checking my girls school work, brushing my teeth, wandering around the house making sure the girls have been doing stuff but I almost always end up back in my bed.
What to do about this? Well I am hoping that since I am blogging and being honest about things that it will help me see that I NEED to get up and do it. My goal this week is to try and exercise 3 times this week for 20 minutes. I know this is not enough and I need it to be more but I also know myself and I know that if I make it too hard I will come up with reasons (excuses) not to do it. So 3 times 20 minutes I think I can handle and I will blog about it next week and see if I was able to do it. If I can do this then next week I will up it a little and just keep taking it a little at a time.
Next week I will try talking a little more on my calorie intake and how it is coming along.
