The Beginning

So this is my first blog on here. I'm used to myspace, but i guess i'll figure this out in time.

Anyway, I got the idea to start this page from a friend to keep up with my progress on my journey to lose weight. i have tried several times before wtih several different methods. Granted, i lost some weight but i would get bored or lose motivation and gained it all back. I finally decided to do this for ME!! (Well, for my husband and kids also). I want to feel good about myself and not be embarassed to go anywhere or for my kids' friends to see me and label them as the kids with a fat mom. So this time i decided... this is it.. this is MY TIME!!!

I guess i started Saturday morning. Friday night i had my last soda :(. I've been at the track every day except sunday because i was sleeping from work.. My step daughter wants to go to a regular gym, but i told her that i was not going to a public gym until i got down to 180, so she agreed to walk/run with me until i got to where i would go to a gym with her.

I've discovered that right now, i can run one curve of the track each time i come around ( i tried both, and i couldn't handle that yet) so if i run one mile, that's four times around the track, which means four curves, so i'm running almost a quarter of a mile total. Not too bad starting out with.

i guess that's not too bad for a first post. i'm gonna end with my current weight and measurements as of Early Sun. Morning. 6-1-09 as well as some torturing before pics taken on 6-2-09.
