Well, here I am.  Another New Year, and another resolution to lose weight.  This time I AM going to do it.  I can't stand to be like this anymore.  I don't like the way I look , or feel.  I don't even want to get out of bed in the morning.  My children deserve better than this.  They deserve a Mom that can run and play, and have fun with them.  I WANT to be that kind of Mom.  I want to be healthy.  I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.  2008 is going to be my year.  I KNOW I can do this.

I busted my butt yesterday, and boy do I feel it today.  I did so well yesterday.  I had about 1300 calories yesterday.  I did 40 minutes on the treadmill, and a bunch of housework.  My back is hurting so bad today.  I can't wait to get this weight off of me.  I'm pretty sure that alot of my aches and pains will get better once I'm not lugging around all this extra weight.  I'm going to exercise today, but I'm not going to push myself quite so hard.  I think I'll do 2-15 minute sessions on the treadmill today.  I'll have to see how I feel.

I'm really starting to feel all the exercise I've been doing.  It's such a good feeling.  I think my muscles are thanking me for using them.  I know I'm doing well, and I hope the scale reflects that on Monday.  I did half an hour on the treadmill yesterday.  I'd like to try for a bit more today, I'll have to see how I feel.  I don't want to push myself too hard, and then burn out.

I feel soooooo good tonight.  I stayed in my calorie and nutrition ranges.  I did half an hour on the treadmill, and 20 crunches.  I'm going to try for more crunches before I go to bed.  I know I set a pretty high goal for myself.  I have a little less than 1 year to lose about 99 pounds. If I don't reach it, I'll still be o.k.  I might hit 150, and decide that I like the way I look and feel, and decide to stay there.  Right now, I'm just trying to get to "onderland".  As I reach each "mini" goal, I'll set a new one.  One day at a time, and baby steps, will eventually take me to where I want to be.

Yesterday was a so-so day.  I did manage to get my 30 minutes on the treadmill, but I didn't do so good food wise.  Oh well, today is a new day, and it will be better.

Yesterday was a pretty good day.  I managed to stay on plan all day.  I took Max for a nice long walk in the morning, and I did 15 minutes on the treadmill in the evening.  Have errands to run today, so I'm not sure about exercising today.

Had a great day yesterday.  I was running errands, and spending time with the family, so I didn't get the exercise in like I wanted to.  Still doing good.  Feeling AWESOME this morning.

Had a pretty good day yesterday.  I didn't exercise as much as I wanted to.  Still having issues with pain in my lower backs and hips.  I'm going to lower the incline on the treadmill and see if that makes it easier.  I'm all hunched over, and walking like my grandmother when I get up in the morning.  When I go shopping next weekend, I want to look for a beginners yoga DVD.  Maybe that will help with my back.

Had a good day yesterday.  Changing the incline on the treadmill helped.  Before, I could only walk for 15 minutes, then my back pain would make me get off.  Yesterday I walked for 30 minutes without needing to stop.  I am so proud of myself.  Rewarded myself last night for the progress I made with a nice relaxing facial.

Was sick yesterday, so I rested and didn't exercise.  Feeling better today.  We're in the middle of an ice storm, so I won't be going outside today.  Will have to use the treadmill AGAIN.  Spring where are you?

I had a great day yesterday.  I managed to do a total of 45 minutes on the treadmill.  I'm trying hard not to get on the scale everyday.  My weight goes up and down constantly.  Getting on it every friday should be good enough.

I ate waaay to much over the weekend.  But, I had an awesome weekend.  Sunday we had breakfast at the all you can eat buffet.  We spent the whole day shopping.  First the indoor flea market, then the mall, then Walmart.  We had such a great time.  I bought the dancing with the starts version of the DDR.  I can't wait to try it today.  Even though I didn't so well this weekend, I feel great.
