A New Year

Welcome 2010! I am ready for the new beginning that a new year brings. I cleaned out the file drawers at work yesterday, boxed up all of 2009. It feels good to have that done and ready for the new year.

I started the New Year off right. I went to the gym this morning, 15 minutes on the elipitical, 15 minutes walking and 15 minutes doing some stretches. It felt good.

We stopped at the store and bought a fabric measuring tape, so I can do some body measurements. I will have not only the weight dropping to measure my progress, but also see how many inches I lose along the way.

Day 1 of the rest of my life.

Goal: Lose 10 pounds by February 1, 2010.
Starting weight 196.0
Bust 39 1/2 inches
Waist 38 inches
Hips 45 inches
Right Arm 15 inches
Right Thigh 29 inches


Plan: - Get to the gym for a workout at least 4 days a week.
- Use the elipitical or treadmill at home on the other 3 days a week
- Do weight training 2 days a week.
- Count calories - 1200 to 1400 per day.

So now it is all out there, if I don't post an update you can ask me for one. I am reporting to anyone who reads this, but more importantly to myself. If I want to change it is up to me. I can succeed! I will succeed!

If anyone out there finds this blog and wants to send me encouraging words of wisdom they will be appreciated.

Thanks,
