Well, today is Jan 1, 2014. Happy New Year! Everyone is making resolutions and I am no exception. After 34 years on this earth, I can safely say it is time to make a change. And like most of the population I need to lose weight and get healthy. I have been obese (I usually avoid saying this word, preferring overweight) most of my life. I have a family history of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer to name a few--yet I continue to tempt fate living a sedentary lifestyle. This must change. I am not resolving to diet and lose weight, though I need to. I am not resolving to cook healthy meals daily, though I need to. I am not resolving to exercise every single day, though I need to do that too. I am resolving to just moving more. My hope is that by doing this I can ease myself into these other activities that will help me achieve my ultimate goal of being a healthy person. Today begins this journey...
268.2 lbs
I did get up and walk on the treadmill this morning. We have had the treadmill for about 3 1/2 months and this is only my 3rd time on it. Shame on me. I walked approx 36 min and 1.7 miles. Later today, the DH and I are going kayaking. I feel good about my start for this year. A wise woman told me you should not do anything on New Year's Day you do not want to do for the rest of the year....So, here goes!
FYI...we are going on a cruise in May and there is a shore excursion that the DH has his heart set on. Weight limit of 250.....so I really should lose 20 lbs by May or risk disappointing myself and the DH.
Good for you, Lisa. I applaud your desire to get moving and I am encouraged, by your example, to do the same. Your bravery in putting yourself out there is mind boggling. Cheers to you and to achieving your goal to take that shore excursion in May. I have faith.
