My First Blog.. My First Confessions.. My First Test..
Hi, Everyone! I’m happy to be able to share some things with you all. So, thanks a lot for taking the time to read my blog.
Someone has always told me that in order to do anything I couldn’t just want to do it but I had to change my mind. I’ve always wanted badly to lose weight but I don’t think I’ve ever been at the state I am now. At this point I’m willing and ready to change my mind. I want it more than ever now. I realize that it’s not just about losing some weight but it’s about losing some old habits. I love myself and want more for myself. One day I will want to be able to keep up with my kids and I want to be able to be around a long time to see my grandkids. So, now… I’m going to make the sacrifices and recieve the rewards for not only losing weight but for becoming a healthier and stronger person. I want these things for myself mostly but also for the people I love because I know they want this for me.
Today I am obviously very motivated. I’m not always like this. Maybe sometimes when I’m not so much like this I will be able to come back here and read this and get the feel of it enough to get motivated.
As of Sunday I made a short commitment to myself I am going to do some sort of formal exercise for 20 minutes every single day for two weeks. I know everyone deserves time off and everything but I need to develop some self-control and dedication. So, I think with short-term goals like these I will have some success and feelings of accomplishment to encourage me along the way.

Good Luck. I know you can do it!!!
Sometimes when you put things in writing, it becomes more clear as to what you have to do. You have your goals stated and in mind….now go for them!
You can do it and you are worth it!
Those old habits are hard to break, but baby steps work. Start with a food journal, if you can do that. Some people hate that but I have done it for 25 years. It just takes a few mins. per day and when I am not keeping my journal I know I am out of control. Water, sometimes you are thirsty and mistake it for hunger. And time your exercise. I am up to an hour a day– 6 days a week. My habits may not be your habits but they have worked for me. Marge
Sounds good. I’ve been thinking (and started writing something) about sacrifices today.
ooh! Good Luck!
I have to tell you, your post is something that I have been thinking about alot lately. I’ve always wanted to lose weight, but never enough to acutally do it. I have to be ready to change my mind…and my life!
I think your two week plan sounds perfect. You are getting some exercise and at the same time you are easing into a routine and not just going hard core and then hating it. I think it’s a great idea. Let us know how it goes.
Sounds like a great plan! You can and you will do it!
Have a good one!
Stay positive that is more than half of the battle. I think planning ahead is a smart move. You can do it.
