I have finally taken the plunge! No...I am not applying to be on next season's reality tv show, I am just beginning to take seriously the effort to lose some weight. I have to admit that I have fought the battle in the mind over and over again. And although I may not be on as strict a diet as some, I am finally making steps towards losing my extra baby weight. A friend and I have begun walking two times a week, which is a big deal to me b/c I frankly hate to excercise. The nice thing about having a walking partner is that it forces me to do it. Every morning I am supposed to get up and walk I try to think of excuses to get out of it, but the thought of her not getting to go b/c I didn't go pushes me to be consistent and get up. I am also taking some actions in my food. No...I am NOT eating vegetables and salads! :) I am not THAT desperate! :) But I am cutting things out like soda and fried foods and really holding back on sweets. So, all that to say, I think I have beaten the battle in my mind to be lazy and apathetic towards my health and weight loss and have finally taken action. And it feels great to be doing something. My goal is to lose 20 pounds. Really! I have put on that much extra weight. I am not proud of it but it is my reality right now that I must deal with and face. So, I will keep you posted as to my progress. I think I need to buy a scale so that I can actually keep track! Wish me luck!
