Yeah! I am posting finally.
Right now, I am focusing on scheduling. School starts back up soon and life will be hectic. I have decreased my intake of junk food which is a start. Actually we are doing it as a family, which helps incredibly. I have been using Matthew's dog Jack as an excuse to get out (boy, does he have a lot of energy). Taking him for a brisk walk for 15 mins or so is a start and if I take Nani too, it will double. When its not too wet out, I take both the dogs to the dog park and walk around for 20-30 minutes. Its wet and cold...I have rain gear and rain boots so I would have no excuse, although they get really muddy and need a bath when we get home.
When school begins, I want to try to take advantage of the free gym stuff I have access to as a student. They have a small lap pool, treadmills, bikes, weights. I need to "schedule" my workouts so I develop a habit and go often. Sleep is another problem during school. I hardly get any because I would rather be up studying. My goal is to get at least 7 hours a night. We'll see.
I am only measuring my waist. If it shrinks, I know I am doing things right. I am not trying to get caught up in the numbers thing with weight, it can be a downer at times.
A website I like is RealAge by Dr. Oz. I have met several women who want to lose a lot of weight like me. We email each other about our goals, our day, inspirations, recipes, anything. It is really quite fun.
I will try to post once a week, don't hold me to that though!!
Woohoo!!
Yeay! I'm so glad you posted! Good job on dumping the junk, that is hard but such a good thing. Thanks for sharing your goals, I find it helps me feel more motivated. I hope that the walks with your dogs get easier, lol. I'm looking forward to your weekly posts. Love ya!
