Inspiration

I love the "next blog" feature. I have found some really good blogs that way. 

Found this gem a few minutes ago. <3 I love the quotes and the style of the art. So simple yet so....perfect.

New Outlook

Getting larger

Need to get this weight loss in action.

Progress?

The time just keeps flying by. In the past few weeks I managed to lose a couple lbs and have kept them off. I've been on a few walks - 1-2.5 miles each. Trying to walk more frequently but I've been having pain in my back, legs, and knees. It is very frustrating. I've been exhausted too. It is hard to go walking when I am so sore and tired. I'm going to the doctor to see what I can do to eliminate the pain and exhaustion so I don't lose any more momentum.

My husband thinks the pain is probably due to my weight. I know my weight is a big factor, I just don't know why I'm having this pain now. I've been at my approximate weight for awhile now.

Anyway, I am going to keep watching what I eat. I've had a couple off days but I am making a big effort to make smarter choices when it comes to meals and snacks.

I'm going back to school soon. Even more reason to get into a good routine. I really want to have a fun, stress-free (haha), motivating year. I've got a lot of exciting things in the works.

I need to get in shape and STAY in shape.

New Beginnings

I just went on a two week vacation to visit family. I've come back fully motivated to change my lifestyle. I'm not happy with my current weight and size. Buying new clothes that fit will no longer be an option. I need to LOSE this weight so I can fit into the clothes I already have.

I'm going to start walking again and I want to eventually begin the couch to 5k program. I'm worried about running because of my Exercise-Induced Asthma. I can sometimes barely do a brisk walk without having asthma trouble.

My total weight loss goal is 77 lbs. I am not sure what a realistic short term goal would be. 10 lbs in 3 weeks? I'm just not sure.

Anyway, I will be walking more frequently and for a longer (time and distance) duration each walk. My gym and the Wii Fit will be used more often as well. I'll be counting my calories on My Fitness Pal, tracking my walks on Runkeeper, and continuing to blog about this journey along the way.
