Couple Weeks

Well, its been a couple weeks. I am doing pretty good I think. 8 lbs, but more then that I have a walking partner at work and we go on a 15 minute walk every morning. Since the goal it to become healthier, I am focusing on the walking more then then weight loss,

I am doing pretty good on cutting out the sugar. I haven't completely given it up as I went to my friends wedding, in Phoenix the weekend of the 15th and had wedding cake. It was yummy! Pink Champagne cake. But honestly, a piece was more then enough, I took the edge, and could not finish it as it was just to much...to much frosting, to much sugar, just too much! But it didn't stop me from having some more (with a lot less frosting) the next day!! Did I mention it was Pink Champagne cake???

But then I got back home and went sugar free again. I did pick up some Weight Watcher's candy, brought it home and then realized it was made with sugar. So I talked to my daughter, Shon, who is my sugar police (smile) and she said and I quote "Anything from Weight Watcher is fine for a dessert". Whoo Hoo!! Of course I still haven't had any, but it just the thought that it is there if I do want some!!


Oh we also have a 100 day challenge at work. I started that. I have to weigh in every Friday and of course the goal it to be healthier. I have a team and we are supposed to encourage each other, so far no encouragement, but really it hasn't even been a week. So more on that later!!

Fresh Start

Well, it's a new year and I have a new resolution...

This year, I am going to be committed to becoming healthier!!

I would love to lose weight and so, I would very much like that to be my resolution, but that seems to have been my resolution for at least the last 5 years, if not more, and I am tired of NOT losing weight so, this year, I am going to become more healthy.

I resolve to: Park farther away and I am going to eat healthier, watch my portion control... AND...I am giving up sugar. If you know me at all, you know I have a HUGE sweet tooth, so this is going  to be pretty hard for me at first. I have done this in the past (given up sugar for a year) and so I know I CAN do it, I just know it will be really hard at first.

The good news is, they make a lot more things sugar free. Not calorie free, just sugar free, so when my sweet tooth gets the best of me, I do have something I can fall back on. As for today, I stuck with a banana and yogurt for my "sweet" for the day.

Also, today I started the Wii, Biggest Looser...a couple things I found out

1. I am too heavy for the Wii fit balance board. 
2. It wants me to work out for 24 minutes IN A ROW...and I didn't even make it through the 6 minute warm up.

But, I refused to get discouraged already, so, with my new outlook, I have decided maybe TOMORROW I can make it through the warm up and then in the next few day I can start the actual work out program!

Wish me luck!

My weight as of today is 371.2
