uneventful Day 3

Nothing exciting happened today.  Easy day at work and it rained all day.  Stayed within my calorie count so that says something even tho it is only day 3. 

Day 2

Today was not the best of days.  I am a clinical assistant and no patients today.  You would think that was good, right?  Well, tensions in the office have the morale less than favorable.  Some yelling today by a coworker and office manager, along with me having a headache didn't make for a fabulous day.  Stress always makes my eating head straight to the toilet, but somehow today (probably because it's only day 2) I managed to keep my eating to what I planned.  I am feeling more relaxed, even tho I still have the headache.  I will enjoy some tv and head for bed.

Day 1

Well, today was day 1.  I weighed, posted a picture and am officially embarrassed by my starting weight.  The 1st day for me always seems to be the easiest.  I am totally committed, enthusiastic and ready to do what is necessary to finally become healthy.  I am feeling good, took a walk with my dogs, and posted all my food in the "my fitness pal" program.  We shall see what tomorrow brings!! 

MY JOURNEY BEGINS.....

I would like to start my 1st ever blog by saying that this will be a work in progress.  I have never journaled before (well I did but it didn't last very long) nor have I been successful at maintaining a weight loss.  I am hoping by starting this blog that I will somehow become more motivated.  I am also hoping that having this blog will help others like me who struggle on a daily basis to continue a healthy lifestyle. 
As I am getting older (almost 48 now), I am constantly reminded that I am not the young energetic person I was when my kids were little.  I wonder sometimes how I managed when my weight remains at or more than when I was a young mom.  I have become more sedentary and sometimes struggle to even work all day.  I would like others to post how they have remained motivated and tell what has worked or not worked for them as well.  Welcome...enjoy the journey and buckle up cause my past experience would tell you it's gonna be a bumpy ride!!
