I am proud of myself for working on my weightloss goals for the past twenty days. I now go to the gym or walk just about everyday. I am in better control of my eating habits and portion sizes. As a result I have lost 5 lbs. so far, feel more energetic and better about myself.  I have committed to continue working on my goals. I keep a food diary and it has been so helpful to me in understanding  areas I needed work in. One thing I have learned from my food diary is I was definitely eating way too...

Today I accomplished some of my weightloss goals. I drank 4 (8) oz glasses of water. My goal was to exercise 35 minutes but, i only did 20 minutes. I am still proud of myself though because a week ago i was not doing any exercise. I also stayed  close to my carb, fat,calorie intake goals today. Although I may go over a little I still feel good because it is dramatically reduced compared to what it was just a few days ago. Well tomorrow is another day and I hope to do at least 35 minutes of exercise.     

Today I did what some would call baby steps. I wrote down what i ate, bought a calorie counter book  called The Calorie King, Calorie Fat and Carbohydrate counter 2009 edition. I bought this book from Targets. I have a friend in a weightloss group and they use this book, she said it was very helpful, so i want to give it a try. I drank more water today (4) 8-oz of water and walked 15 minutes. I haven't done any exercise in a while so i feel good about this.  I already have a gym membership, but I bought a workout...

I am excited and nervous about my new weightloss/healthy living life style but, I am motivated to continue on. I plan to focus, stay committed and be excited about my achievements, as i do all of my goals. I am happy about the support that I will receive, any encouraging words will be helpful and i will keep you updated on my accomplishments.
