Ello there

30 minutes on the treadmill today. Did 2 miles. I also weighed myself and took my measurements today. Will I be gutsy enough to put my stats. on here? Possibly.

I told two of my best friends about my goal and encouraged them to join me. We've turned it into a 3 month event. The person who loses the most weight will get a prize of their choosing @ a $200 value.

I've also been quite stressed today. About a month and a half ago, I made the decision to stay at my community college for one more year, before transferring to the university I plan to attend. Well, one of my scholarships went up in value, making it more tempting to start this fall there. I'm having a tough time trying to figure out if I want to stay how I am or change things up a bit. It's a lot more difficult than it seems. And it takes a lot out of me.

Maybe I should go with the saying: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. (But I've always preferred limes ;)

Two weeks in...

Well, it's been two weeks. Two weeks that I've been very strict about what I'm eating and working out. Last Monday, when I weighed myself, I'd lost 2 lbs. I'll see what the scale says tomorrow. I haven't had fast food in over two weeks! This is a big deal and big accomplishment. But you know what, I haven't been craving it. If I feel the need to stop and get food, I go to a sandwich shop, where I can get good, healthy, fresh ingrediants. I worked out 5 times last week and 4 times this week. I think I'll wait another 2 weeks until I measure myself again. My two friends haven't worked out or been restricting their eating. I told one that they need to start working out. Sure, without them participating, I'm in for an easy win. But I'd rather lose $100 (what we're all offering, at the end of the deal, as a prize) and have my friends lose weight with me. I'm just trying very hard to make sure I do the best that I can.

Finally

So I finally worked out today. Did 30 minutes on the treadmill, reaching just under 2 miles. Obviously, a lot of work needs to be done to get miles down to a better time, but I'm not trying to win a race here. I have meals planned out for the week, as to stop any ideas of grabbing Chick fil A for lunch or pizza for dinner. Besides those types of meals here and there, I already eat pretty healthy. No soda or coffee, eat brown rice, whole wheat/grains everything, low fat/no fat options, fruits and veggies, drink plenty of water and unsweet tea from the pot... Really, it just comes down to me sticking with a workout plan and forgetting those last minute, bad for you meals. I plan on blogging about more than just weight loss, but I guess I'll get to that later. :)

First Post

Hello Blogger World , This is my first time blogging. Bare with me. I was never one to keep a diary as a kid. I never saw a reason to write my thoughts down. And besides, who will be reading my blog? I'm not famous or know how to get my blog out to the masses. Do I care if anyone reads what I have to say? I don't really, but hope so. As encouragement. I've created this blog to track my weight loss journey. I thought that maybe if I had someone to report to (you strangers out there that I don't even know if you're reading my blog), it'd make this journey easier, better. Exercising and eating healthy are not new to me. I've tried many times before, many different ways. With coworkers, with a buddy, with my mom, by myself. Maybe a few pounds lost here and there. But, as I've thought many times before now: maybe this time is different. I recently bought a treadmill, to go along with my elliptical and dozens of workout dvds . It's too damn h...
