Welcome to my world!

Labor Day 2010, I committed myself to getting healthy and in better shape. It didn't happen. Now it is 2011 and I am going for it again.
This will be a difficult journey because I am a certified foodie.
I love food,
love to cook it,
love to eat it,
love to feed it to others...and I am a good cook.
However, I have to get control of my weight and by association, my life :D Easy right?
Better to light a small candle than curse the darkness.

Thought: watching is not doing...but it is mental preperation.

Weight: 274.0
I feel: a little less bloated

okay so I haven't started working out yet...we have just kept banging away at the house. all the clothes go out tomorrow!! but I did put in the 30 Day Shred DVD and watched level 1 of a 3 level video.

Jillian is going to kick my ASS!!!

I am scared...push ups, crunches, lunges, jumping jacks, butt bumps, JUMPING JACKS for God's sake!!! What happened to level 1??

And yeah...just when I am thinking...awww hell there is no way I can move my ass like that...
the bitch says, "and don't think you can't do jumping jacks. I have 400 pound people who do them all the time. You can too."

You know what? She's right.
During one of my earlier crusades to shape up, I was participating in a workout program at my job. Every week the instructor stepped it up...and I shocked myself by doing jumping jacks and jumping rope too. I can do it.

I need a yoga mat or 2 but for now I am going to use towels. And I need some hand weights. I may use cans or something until I can get a set.

    I like your title for your post. Mental preparation is important, I think, as long as eventually the action does follow.

    I need to kick start my activity too. It's hard, though, when I am getting 1-2 hours less sleep per night than is ideal for me. Damn time zone difference. ;-)

    YOU FOR SURE CAN DO THIS!

    I'm on day 24 of the 30 Day Shred, and I have to say that I'm glad that I stuck with it. After being very unhealthy for 4 years (college), I finally decided to change things up when I got my first teaching job. There's nothing like having 150 people look at you everyday to inspire change.

    If you want some inspiration, here is my blog:

    Remember: It is all worth it! You can do it!
