Day 4

Day 4 so far has gone very well. I worked out for an hour, and really stuck to my diet. If anyone really wants to get a bang for their buck type workout I would recommend the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. i also have The Biggest Loser Power Sculpt dvd and that works very well too. I still need to sign up for weight watchers, which will really make the watching-what-I-eat part of this to be really easy. Not saying that staying away from all those yummy but high calorie things is easy, but not having to check all those labels so often would be easier. My dear husband said he would join me on this little scheme of mine, so this should make the challnge easier.

I really hope to take away from this experience not only weight loss and a better self image, but away of life that embraces healthy habits. Like eating a well balanced diet and regular exercising. I want my family to be active and healthy, and I want my kids to see us doing that, and hopefully they will copy us.

I weighed in yesterday at 226 lbs. I was wearing my heavy shoes, but none-the-less, they don't weigh that much! I need to actually lose 76 lbs, to reach my goal of 150. If I really did lose 100 lbs, I think I would look rather sickly. I want to be athletic, like I was in high school. I want to be able to chase my kids and have them get tired before I do. I want to live a long and healthy life. That won't be happening if I don't get out and exercise regularly, or eat healthy.
