Ive decided the best way for me to succeed at losing the weight is to keep this journal of the things we have been doing.
I found this website on Friday and spent half the night reading transformations and tips and tricks of the trade.
It motivated to the point of a usually sedentary person to get out of the house and bike ride with my family 7.5 miles the next day. I havent rode that much since I was a young girl. It felt so empowering and good.
This was road that according to Brian (the hubby) had no hills actually ended up having about 5 hills one way leading to ten in the end. By the end of our excursion i willed myself to make it up the last and hardest hill and it took EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING I had to get up it without stopping. But I did it!! I was so unbelievably proud of myself and knew if I can do that I can do anything.
So we have just have started our path to a healther lifestyle and are learning. Poor Brian doesnt understand when I tell him that yes cornflakes are not the worst thing you can have but they DO have sugar in them.
Oh btw I started my first weight training ever today and was again so proud of me. I found this beginner workout for the entire body. I did three sets of 8 with a 10 lb set of weights. I struggled at the end but made it and look forward to doing it again in a couple days :D
I will write some more soon....chow and keep moving:jumping:
