So It's Been Awhile...

But its time to pick this up again. Weight loss is something I think about every day. I have known that I need to lose weight for a very long time. Getting motivated to do it, and keep doing it has been more difficult. But now it's becoming about more than weighing less and looking good. It's becoming about health. Right now, at the current weight, I can't walk up stairs without getting somewhat out of breath. I have stomach issues and heartburn is starting to be a daily occurrence. None of this helps all the not looking good and feeling good (emotionally).

So this is where I pick it back up. Gonna try from here on in. Tracking my calories (870 so far today - 117 for exercise) and made it to the gym at lunch time.

Can I still make it to Norway?

Back in the Saddle

So I know. It's been awhile. I was on this for about five minutes, and then I caved. Life got the better of me. Work's been awful, and eating comfort food has become a bit of a pastime for me. It's been difficult to even think about tacking diet and health and exercise, because there's so many other things I need to do right now.

But Stacey and I have been talking about about this, and the other day, we started making a list. We wrote up our weight loss goals and agreed to start the next day, which was Tuesday, Feb 16th. so now we're both on it. I am back to trying to lose 75 pounds, and Norway is still at the end of it. We also set some other goals for along the way. So my first milestone will be to lose 10% of the total I want to lose - 7.5 pounds. When I do this, I get to go get a 30 minute massage at a spa.

I got myself to the gym last night and managed to walk/jog for about 45 minutes. I'm on my way....
