It is so hard to eat right when eating out. The place that was picked for our dinner, serves hamburgers. So of course, I had a burger and fries. I know better. I could have gotten a fork and eaten the burger without the bun and no fries. But the burger and fries are so good. So I am back up a couple of pounds.
Today is a new day and I will do better. I did exercise tonight, I watched Mama Mia while I was on the treadmill for a while. It was great. I do feel better when I get some exercise. I just have to do it everyday and eat right.
My friend Char has been working hard at losing weight before a big trip to Coast Rica - she leaves nest week. She is looking great. She is my inspiration right now, if she can do it so can I.

4 Pounds down!
I know that 4 pounds isn't a lot, but it is a start. It feels good to get on the scale and see some progress. I had a good food day and that is half the battle. We went grocery shopping tonight and bought vegetables so that I can have something to munch when that 3:00 time hits. We got turkey for sandwiches, and some low fat yogurt. No JUNK FOOD!!
Keep up the exercising - eat good - have a good attitude!

Today is the first day of the rest of my life
Today, I committed to lose weight.
When I went to a site to find out my BMI (Body Mass Index), I realized that I am not just overweight, I am obese. I have always been heavy, for as long as I can remember. I can remember feeling fat in the 6th grade when I weighed 145 pounds. Now that is my goal weight. I currently weigh 198 pounds. I am 5 feet 6 inches tall. I can no longer get away with saying I am Big Boned. I am Fat, I am overweight.
I am going to change.
This blog will be my daily log of what I am doing to find the inner me, the skinner me. The person that I know is inside of me. I spent 22 minutes on the elipitical machine and 22 minutes on the treadmill today.
If anyone finds and follows this blog any words of encourgement will be appreciated.
I am going to buy a tape measure and get someone to help measure me as another way to track my progress.
I am going to spend some time over the next few days setting some specific goals.
Good Luck to me.
