Day 7- Saturday, March 23, 2013
I have been unable to post for a few days due to being at the Annual Meeting for our company. It is a very harried time but I LOVE IT! It is a lot of walking and I love to be of service to my co workers. Anyway yesterday was my first day back in the office so I weighed myself yesterday morning. It read 253 and 47% body fat. Kind of a bitter sweet result since I felt like I walked my ass off but if the weight had to go up at least the body fat percentage went down. I am not sure if I reported it before but it was 49%. Today I am taking my boys to bowling along with some of their teammates so I won't get much walking in there. I will have to find some other way. I will keep you posted. I bought a Fitbit and it keeps track of my activity so i can report that to you too. Here's to a great day!

Day 3-Tuesday, March 19, 2013
3:58am- Can't sleep. Can't get my mind to shut down from this crazy meeting. Lol. I consider helping plan this meeting a perk of my job. It is really rejuvenating to see all our store managers, regionals, and vendors. Think I am gonna channel this energy and do some stretching to put myself back to sleep. Wish me luck!

Day 2-March 18, 2013
Well I made it through Day 1 with 300 crunches (not a single one more) and two planks for 20 sec each. I despise planks very much and thought I was taking it easy on myself with the crunches so I was punishing myself with the planks. Today begins the frenzy at work with the Annual Meeting this week so it will be a little harried trying to get my 30 minutes of activity in each day but I am determined!
Weighing myself for the first time in about 2 weeks was a pleasant surprise as the scale at work tell me I am 250.5 lbs (I thought I was 254) and 49% body fat. Well here goes nothing!

Day1-Sunday, March 17, 2013
This morning as I sit in the living room of my new little house, I resolve myself to becoming thinner, lighter, and healthier. Recently we bought a new house. It's a little house with less square footage than our prevoius home but it fulfills my dream of graduating from a trailer home. It is sort of a rite of passage for me and at 42 years old I have spent my life working towards this goal. Anyway, having achieved this, it's time to move on to my next goal in life. I have always struggled with being overweight and to be honest it is not a focus that I really cared about. I do not feel I have low self esteem and have a career that I absolutely love! My drive is the co workers I serve everyday. Their appreciation and encouragement makes what I do very rewarding. I am not perfect at my job, but they make me feel like I am. I strive everyday to take care of their needs.
My husband supports my workaholic drive and I love him unconditionally! He goes by Spook and has a strong interest in fixing up used riding mowers and selling them and has a passion for hunting and fishing. We have four sons. Justin, Aaron, Cody, and Colby. Justin and Aaron are both grown and spend their time in Alabama close to their mom. Cody and Colby both still live at home and live their summers for baseball and winters for bowling. This is my family and a little about me.
Now for my next project...... I have not been very good at eating healthy. I love Reeses Cups and if you told me I could never have another one, I would rather die. Instead, I have decided to use them as a reward for achieving specific goals. I cannot see spending money on joining Weight Watchers or Nutrisystem when those techniques are at your finger tips thanks to the internet and Barnes and Noble. I have decided to rely the support of my peers and start my journey by becoming more active. Believe me if mental activity was a weight loss tool, I would be a size two. Unfortunately it isn't. When weighing myself, I think it is best to always use the same scale to not create any falsehoods or be decieved by that satanic machine. I know there is a time when it will become my friend but right now I think I will call it Bertha. We have a scale in the ladies room at work so I will report my first weight tomorrow morning. Live and right here! Your remarks and guidance are important to me so please chime in (if you can). I need the good, the bad, and the ugly!
I will start celebrating my decision today by walking down to my old house to feed my cats who still live there. We don't live far from it but I dont know how far it really is. Plus I will take the back road to it to avoid walking on the main road which will be a little farther. Once I get it measured I will let you know how far it is.
Facts- I am 5 foot 2 inches tall and expect I weigh around 254 lbs. We will know tomorrow for sure. My goal weight right now is 154. Once I achieve the 100 lb mark, I expect to make a revision to that number for another smaller goal. I will report my weight everyday right here. Join me in losing myself!
Well, one step outside revealed I needed a Plan B for today. The weather is not favorable and I do not have a coat here to be sufficient for my walk. I did drive it though and measure the distance round trip taking the backroad...1.8 miles. Actually longer than I thought. So Plan B for today will be to put in 30 minutes of activity two times today. I think I will do some crunches...let's say at least 300 mixed with other things. I told. Spook about my blog I started today and told him I want to work on weight loss and he said "Whatever you want to do." So here goes.
