Hey everyone! As most of you all know this is my second blog. I didn't think I should blog on our family blog about my weight loss journey. My friend Alesha Williams started a journey blog and the idea really started growing on me. So here we are. I am setting a goal of losing 30 lbs in 3 months from today, which will be April 17th, 2010. That goal will have me losing 2.5 lbs per week, which is an attainable goal.....I think. I hope this blog will help me stay motivated and encouraged. Alesha does not know this yet, but I am thinking a trip to the beach will be in order if we can lose a bunch of weight...what you think Alesha? I guess I better start saving money with each pound I lose too. LOL!
I will post weekly updates of my weight loss.
I will post monthly pictures (to see if I can tell a difference in myself).
I have started exercising on my elliptical machine, and man is it pathetic. I am hoping to build up 1-2 minutes on my time every week. That sounds really lame, but at this point any exercise is better than what I was doing last week. Ha!
I am trying to cut out sugar and sodas, and white stuff. I will not cut all my carbs out as that is not a way of life, but a quick fix to a long problem. I hope to get better at making healthier choices.
This blog is mainly for myself, but if anyone feels like following, feel free to join in. I really hope to make this work for life and get healthy.
Thanks for the fabulous idea Alesha!
Thanks to all who follow and offer help!

YEAH!!!! Maybe we can be each other encouragement and accountability! You have set a higher goal for yourself than I, lets both try to reach them! We can do this, and lets do it together!
ReplyDeleteAnd a trip to the beach WILL be awesome when we DO lose our weight!!!!
ReplyDelete80 Pounds sounds like a perfect goal to hit. And very true that even if we have to sleep in the car, we can still lay out on the beach all day long!!! We are going to walk 2 miles, but it is pretty flat. I walked around my house the other day and the hills about killed me! Good luck today, we can do this! :-)
ReplyDeleteAfter the baby gets here and I get the baby weight off I might have to join you at the beach, lol.
