I just started moving last week and feel really great. This week I began to cut back on food and started my food journal. I can’t believe how hard I had to work just to burn off my raisin bran. My allowable calories are around 1350 a day. That doesn’t leave much piggin out room, but I figured I have been pigging out enough to get to 200. I love my veggies during the summer, so I am not worried. I have gained 20 pounds easy in the past 7 months ( since moving to Las Vegas) all I can say is those $7.77 buffets are not your friend. Three blocks away I can have NY strip, eggs, hash browns, and biscuits and gravy for: get this $3.29. Is that not the craziest thing? I have finally gotten all of that out of my system. Look at the actual cost ~ my body and the lumps and bumps attached to it. My raisin bran was delicious, and I am excited to have so much to look forward to.

I realized that in the past I have made the mistake of jumping into my workout routine to hard to fast. During a part of my life I used to be a runner and gym junkie. I can’t do that right now. I am starting with 25 minutes of cardio and low-weight, high reps. I work out about 50 minutes, nice sweat. I feel great. 

I can’t stress how much I am enjoying all of this motivation. Is this site a sisterhood or what? I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you, and Kudos Dr. Mark for making this happen. I haven’t had the chance to invite new slimbuddies but I will, and I am sorry I haven’t responded to all of my comments - but you really are appreciated. Keep up the great work!

today i got my workout on. oh joy! it felt fantastic - i am feeling soooo motivated. the gym at my complex is as good as 24 hour fitness minus all the people. i threw on my sweats and made it happen today. i told ya…zero excuses.

But I am sooooo going to change this. When I say I have zero excuses. I really mean zero. I am home all day long. I have a gym in my complex. Money is not the issue. I am p-a-t-h-e-t-i-c. (but with a smile) This all changes today. I am leaving the beer alone and get moving. Will I be bathing suit ready by summer? Nope-but I can lose 5% of my body weight, and that is a great start. I refuse to get discouraged. I will love all of me and take the opportunity to get aquainted every one of my pounds since the last 5% will be leaving soon. Time to log off and get moving.
